Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress-Chapter 1260 - 1266: Exposure (1)

Xiang Yun found herself pinned under Mo Zili, feeling her clothes being stripped from her body by an external force, her heart filled with hatred, pain, and humiliation as tears raced to escape her eyes. At that moment, she desperately wished that the person who had saved her the previous day would appear again to rescue her from this place.

Although Mo Zili saw her tears, his heart ached as well, perhaps even more than hers. However, in order to extinguish the part of her that wanted to leave him, he had to harden his heart and ignore her tears.

As soon as she became his, she wouldn’t be able to make a fuss anymore. It would be best if he succeeded in one shot, and she would obediently follow him home. Although this method was a bit despicable, there was no other way; had she not stubbornly pressed for a divorce, he would not have resorted to this!

Amidst the struggle, the voice of the housekeeper’s wife, Lady Su, suddenly rang out from outside, "Young Master Li, an officer from Ying Tianfu has arrived and says there is a very important matter that requires your immediate attention!"

Before Mo Zili could respond, the door of the side room burst open, and Second Lady Bai charged out like a whirlwind, scolding, "You damn old woman, what’s all this noise about? Can’t you see that your master is busy? Get out of here!"

Lady Su, scolded, shrank back her shoulders timidly and said, "Madam, the officials from Ying Tianfu have arrived. They said there’s a very important matter and must speak directly with Young Master Li."

Lady Bai asked, "What matter?"

Looking toward the room, Lady Su replied, "The two officers said that the group of bandits has confessed. It was Young Master Li’s concubine who instructed them to attempt the assassination of Young Madam. Now they need instructions from Young Master Li on how to proceed to the mansion to detain and question the suspect!"

Inside the room, though Mo Zili was on top of Xiang Yun, he slowed down when he heard the commotion in the courtyard. At the moment he heard Lady Su mention ’it was Young Master Li’s concubine who instructed them, and now they are awaiting instructions from Young Master Li to detain and question the suspect,’ he felt as if he had been struck by lightning, completely stunned.

How could it be her?

The woman he once admired, regarded as the most immaculate and refined in the world, the woman he wished to spend his lifetime with, how could she be this vile?

Even though she had revealed many of her flaws to him before, disappointing him deeply, he had never imagined that she could stoop to colluding with bandits and hiring assassins, which was completely at odds with her usually demure and serene temperament!

Ah, that’s right, this must be her true nature; the past was all pretense to deceive him!

Seizing the moment when the man paused and seemed lost in thought, Xiang Yun used all her strength to push him away, jumped off the couch, and dashed outside.

In the courtyard, Lady Bai continued to question Lady Su in disbelief, "What exactly did the officers say? Are you sure you didn’t misunderstand? She is supposed to be recovering inside the Inner House; how could she possibly extend her reach out here?"

While inquiring, Lady Bai saw Xiang Yun running out of the room as if fleeing for her life. She hurriedly approached, "Miss Yun, quickly go back to your room. With your clothes in disarray and hair disheveled, if outsiders see you, your reputation could be damaged!"

Xiang Yun, like a drum in a torrent, shook her head, crying pitifully, "I won’t go back; he... he..."

Lady Bai said, "Oh, come on, you two were just playing around. Why the tears? Be sensible and go back..."

Cui Wen and Cui Lu, hearing Xiang Yun’s voice, rushed out from the side room. Seeing Xiang Yun in such a sorry state, they hurried over to support her. Despite their efforts, Xiang Yun refused to return to the main room, crying inconsolably. With no other options, Lady Bai had no choice but to let Cui Wen and Cui Lu take her to the side room.

Once inside, Cui Lu and Cui Wen immediately knelt down, crying, "Young Madam, you’ve been wronged. We truly wanted to help you, but Second Lady suddenly arrived and confined us to the side room. She said you were handling important business and forbade us from interfering. We didn’t dare to disobey Second Lady, so... so..."
