Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress-Chapter 1250 - 1256: Suspicion (2)

He had misjudged her, thinking that as long as he was willing to give her a child, she would willingly stay in the mansion and be the Young Madam all her life. Little did he realize that she had given up on him long ago and had arranged her own way out. It had always been his own wishful thinking.

Now, with the death of Nanny Xie, and she being a person of deep emotions and loyalty, and considering her deep feelings for Nanny Xie, she was even less likely to turn back!

Yet, even so, he would not give up easily. She was his wife, his wife married openly and honorably. No matter what, she was his, even if she utterly hated him, he would not easily let go!

As the years dragged on, he felt guilty toward her, and he could slowly make it up to her in the future. But for now, the pressing issue was how to get her to come back.

At this moment, a question he had never considered before suddenly occurred to him—the child— what really happened to it?

Before, he had always thought it was Xiang Yun, who had drunk too much liquor and lost control of her emotions, that had pushed Lady Du. He had also witnessed Xiang Yun pushing the food box handed by Lady Du, and indeed, it was Lady Du’s fall that had caused the loss of the child.

He had never had any doubts about this. However, Xiang Yun repeatedly insisted that she had not pushed Lady Du, and today she even clarified her feelings, saying she simply disdained to be jealous of him. She had already found her own way out, so given Xiang Yun’s temperament, it was even less likely for her to harm a fetus.

Could there be something else in all this? Was it really as Xiang Yun said, that Lady Du had deliberately fallen to lose the child and frame Xiang Yun?

Before this, he would have never thought this way. People say even tigers do not eat their cubs; even the cruelest woman would not kill her own child to frame someone else. However, having been in close contact with Du Wanqing for a while, he was increasingly discovering that she was not the person he had imagined. She was good at disguising herself, her words did not match her heart, and the closer they got, the clearer her true temperament revealed itself. Whether or not she intentionally fell to frame Xiang Yun, he could not be sure at this moment, but at the least, he could be certain that she was not a simple and kind woman!

Thinking this, he became more suspicious of Du Wanqing. Regardless, he decided that as soon as he returned, he must ask her what really happened!

In the past few days, Mo Zili’s health had improved somewhat, enough for him to move around. As soon as he recovered, he spent his days in the study, going early and returning late, never coming back until it was time to sleep. Even when he did come back, he just glanced into Du Wanqing’s room before quickly leaving.

Du Wanqing understood this as her appearance being ruined; naturally, a man would not want to look at such a face, which only spurred her desire to recover her appearance more quickly. Mo Zili staying in the study all day was actually good for her; she could take the opportunity to apply medicine on her face to remove the scars and restore her beautiful appearance sooner!

When Mo Zili returned to the mansion, Du Wanqing was leisurely lying on the couch with her eyes closed, resting. A little maidservant with freshly cropped hair was kneeling carefully on a stool at the foot of the couch, holding a pair of Beauty Knockers and massaging her legs. Her face was covered with a thick layer of ointment, yellow-green in color and with a pungent smell, much like bird droppings.

Hearing Mo Zili’s footsteps, Du Wanqing opened her eyes and upon seeing Mo Zili, she quickly sat up and said softly, "Zili, why have you come back so early today? I just sent someone to take your lunch to the study, and the little boy there said you weren’t there. Where did you go?"

Mo Zili sat down on a stool that Xiang Yun often used and seemingly did not hear Du Wanqing’s concerned tone. After a moment of silence, he said, "There is something I need to ask you, and I hope you can answer truthfully."
