Cai Bida was thinking about how to get Du Qi's forgiveness. Now that things had developed to this stage, he had to beg Du Qi for mercy. Since he had to do this, he had to do it well.
If he couldn't complete the task, he would be finished.
"Let's go and ask for forgiveness!"
Cai Bida muttered to himself.
In order to get Du Qi's forgiveness, he could only think of going to his house and asking for forgiveness. After thinking it through, Cai Bida did not act immediately. After all, it was already late. He dragged his tired body, locked the door of the teahouse, and went straight to his house.
Cai Bida's wife was called Fu.
She was the cousin of Zhao Shen, the housekeeper of King Qi's Mansion. Cai Bida and Fu used to live a poor life. It was because they followed Du Qi and became the manager of the world's number one teahouse that the Cai family's life gradually improved.
Especially after Cai Bida changed jobs, he received a large sum of money and his salary increased. As a result, the Cai family's life became better. Fu went from a small village woman to a woman in Chang 'an City. She lived a life of luxury and did not have to sew clothes for others.
Madam Fu loved this kind of life.
When Cai Bida returned home, he sat at the door of the living room in a daze. Madam Fu walked over and sat down beside Cai Bida. She started chattering away.
The Cai family was rich now. After all, they had connections with the Eastern Palace. Because of Cai Bida's status, Fu made friends with some women when she went out. She could learn many interesting things about Chang 'an City from these people.
In the past, Cai Bida would find it interesting.
Because of these interesting things, he could learn how some of the rich families in Chang 'an City lived.
But now, he was very annoyed.
"Shut up!"
Cai Bida shouted loudly.
Fu was stunned when she heard this. Then she stood up and put her hands on her hips. She gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Cai Bida, what are you saying? What kind of attitude is this? Tell me clearly. If it weren't for my brother Zhao Shen, you wouldn't have the chance to get close to the Eastern Palace. What do you mean by treating me like this? Or do you have a woman outside? "
Madam Fu followed the people around and chatted with them. She got to know some of the habits of the big families. The masters of these large families all liked to have concubines or women outside.
Seeing Cai Bida's impatience towards him, Madam Fu thought that Cai Bida might have someone outside.
If that wasn't the case, he wouldn't have scolded him.
Cai Bida had been beaten up in the day, humiliated in the Eastern Palace, and troubled in the teahouse. He was already very angry and irritated. Now that he saw Madam Fu pestering him endlessly, he was even angrier.
If it was any other day, it would be fine.
But now, Cai Bida's body was filled with endless irritation. He was like oil that would burn when it came into contact with a spark. Therefore, he stood up, raised his right hand, and slapped out.
"Pa!"
A loud slap was heard.
It was Cai Bida who had raised his palm and fiercely swung it. As the slap landed, Madam Fu fell to the ground with a dumbfounded look on her face.
What's going on?
Why did Cai Bida hit her?
Madam Fu cried and threw a tantrum. She sobbed and said that Cai Bida didn't treat her well and that she wanted to go back to her parents' house to complain. She wanted to go to Qi Manor and ask her cousin Zhao Shen for help.
In short, he wanted to teach Cai Bida a lesson. He wanted Cai Bida to give an explanation.
Cai Bida's face was gloomy. He walked in front of Fu Shi, squatted down, and put his left cheek in front of Fu Shi's face. He said almost hysterically, "Do you see the handprint on my face? Although my face isn't red and swollen, the handprint is still there. "
Madam Fu panicked when she saw this.
What's going on?
Her husband was one of the Crown Prince's men. He had a noble status and a prominent position. How could he have been beaten up? When Madam Fu threw a tantrum with Cai Bida, it was Cai Bida who hit her directly. But now, Cai Bida was beaten and looked so dispirited. She began to panic in her heart. She no longer threw a tantrum or went against Cai Bida.
Madam Fu stopped crying and asked, "Husband, what's going on? Who dares to hit you? "
Cai Bida started barking when he heard this.
He kept shouting and yelling about how Crown Prince Li Jiancheng kicked him to the curb after he'd outlived his usefulness, how Wei Zheng threatened him without restraint, and how Zhang Jingping humiliated him …
One by one, Cai Bida spoke of the events that had happened.
Madam Fu was shocked when she heard this.
The First Tea House was finished. Especially when she heard her husband say that Wei Zheng asked Cai Bida to apologize to Du Qi so that he could ask for Du Qi's forgiveness, Madam Fu couldn't stand still and fell to the ground.
She began to panic.
Everything she had now was earned by her husband. If Cai Bida lost his source of income, everything in the Cai Family would immediately collapse and they would no longer be able to enjoy the good days they had now.
Madam Fu took a deep breath and hurriedly said, "Husband, where there's life, there's hope. Now that Du Qi wants to deal with our family, let's go apologize and ask for Du Qi's forgiveness. "
Cai Bida frowned when he heard this.
He had a backbone.
He also wanted to save face.
One had to know that when he left the number one teahouse in the world, he was in high spirits and thought that he didn't need to rely on Du Qi. But now, he had to beg for Du Qi's forgiveness. Where would he put his face?
Madam Fu ignored Cai Bida and continued, "Husband, if we don't settle this matter properly, the Crown Prince will never forgive us." "If we don't handle things properly, the Crown Prince will never forgive us. Now, we can only beg for mercy. There's nothing wrong with begging for mercy now. Husband, it's just saving face. Don't you know that we used to throw away our face to make a living? "
Cai Bida sighed.
When a person was in a difficult situation, he could do anything without any scruples. Face was nothing. But after he got used to living like a prince, it was difficult to throw it away again after he had regained his dignity.
That was because he had pride.
Now, he was going to trample his pitiful pride into the swamp again.
Madam Fu did not care about Cai Bida's thoughts. She kept talking, trying to persuade Cai Bida to bear with it and to apologize to Du Qi.
"Shut up!"
Cai Bida scolded.
Madam Fu immediately fell silent.
Cai Bida snorted and said in a low voice, "You want to apologize, but the problem is that we don't know if Du Qi will meet us. When we left the First Teahouse and poached Du Qi's men, we offended Du Qi greatly. If not, Du Qi would not have acted out then and only targeted us afterward. Du Qi is not a kind person. "
Madam Fu said, "Husband, no matter what, we have to go! Even if Du Qi won't meet us, we have to try. What if we succeed? "
Cai Bida's expression was miserable. He said helplessly, "Yes, under the current circumstances, we can only try. Because we have no other choice. "
Madam Fu became excited when she heard this.
As long as they went, they would have a chance.
Madam Fu immediately said, "Husband, get up and rest. Have a good rest and then go to the Du family. "
Cai Bida said, "Bring me food."
"Yes!"
Madam Fu immediately went to arrange it.
Soon, Madam Fu came with food and wine and placed it in front of Cai Bida. When Cai Bida was eating, Madam Fu said, "Husband, we can go and apologize this time. In my opinion, we can ask people to spread the news."
"If you do that, when you go to the Du family to meet Du Qi, Du Qi will definitely meet you to save face. Otherwise, won't it show that he is narrow-minded? "
"Du Qi is after all a famous person. He will not ignore this. When Du Qi meets you, you will sincerely apologize and Du Qi will not pursue this matter to show his generosity. "
Madam Fu said, "As long as Du Qi accepts your apology, this matter will be settled."
Cai Bida snorted and said, "If you do that, you will make a fool of yourself. Do you think I don't know what to do? "
Madam Fu said, "If you don't do that, are you sure that Du Qi will meet you?"
Cai Bida was silent for a while and nodded. Because if he did not spread the news, Du Qi might not meet him. In the end, Cai Bida agreed with Madam Fu's suggestion and prepared to spread the news when he went to apologize to Du Qi tomorrow.
