Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress-Chapter 1262 - 1268: Exposure (3)

Xiang Yun was held in her mother’s bosom, remembering how she had just been bullied by Mo Ziqi, and thinking back to the peril of last night, she couldn’t help but burst into loud, wronged sobs.

Madam Wu’s dowry old palace maid, Lady Liu, advised, "Madam, you mustn’t cry anymore. Look, isn’t Miss alright? Your crying is actually making Miss cry!"

Hearing this, Madam Wu gradually stopped her sobbing and said to Xiang Yun, "Listen to me, this time, mother cannot let you carry on with your nonsense. You must go back to your mother-in-law’s house. If you won’t go back, then mother will move in and live with you. If those bandits or robbers come again, in the worst case, mother will die with you."

Mother Liu said, "Madam, listen to what you’re saying. The Central Distributions in the mansion still need you to oversee them. If you stay here, who’s going to manage all that business back at the mansion?"

Madam Wu replied, "How can I manage that much anymore? I can’t just leave this wronged soul here for that group of damnable bandits to target!"

Xiang Yun had nearly been insulted by Mo Ziqi; how could she dare go back? Hearing what her mother said, she had no choice but to plead, "Mother, I am still in mourning for Nanny Xie, how can I observe it if I return to Duke Li Guo’s mansion? Besides, even if Grandmother and Mother-in-law allow me to wear mourning clothes, it still wouldn’t be proper, would it?"

Lady Wu said angrily, "You, as a mistress, have mourned for a servant for so long, you’ve already done more than enough. Do you really intend to mourn for her like a paragon of filial piety until the end of the three-seven period?"

Hearing this, Xiang Yun, with tears falling, said, "Nanny Xie died a wrongful death because she was implicated by me. I must mourn her until the end of the five-seven period to find peace. Mother, please don’t force me, even if you do, I won’t comply."

As mother and daughter argued back and forth, neither willing to give in, Lady Bai suddenly walked in, clapping her hands as she entered the courtyard, "It truly makes me Angry to Death. The incident with Yun’er was actually orchestrated by that seductive fox of the Du family. Had I known this earlier, I would have beaten her to death with a chaotic stick, not letting her cause trouble!" freewebnøvel_com

Madam Wu, surprised, said, "She’s a woman of the inner house, how could she know bandits? Mother-in-law, could you have made a mistake?"

Lady Bai, angry, said, "No mistake, she did it. Just now, the bailiffs from Ying Tianfu said that she bribed a demoted little boy from our mansion, who gathered a group of rascals to do the deed. Fortunately, Yun’er has a strong destiny, aided by a noble, otherwise who knows what chaos might have ensued."

After speaking, she looked at Xiang Yun, "Yun’er, not to mention us, even Zili himself will absolutely not tolerate that Lady Du any longer. Our mansion is finally clean, so come back with mother to the mansion. If something were to happen here again, what could we do?"

Madam Wu hurriedly said, "That’s exactly what I mean. Yun’er, just be obedient, and go back with your mother-in-law."

Xiang Yun glanced at Lady Bai, pursed her lips, and said, "I am still mourning for Nanny Xie and it’s improper for me to return to the mansion. If mother is worried about me, then just send a few more people to protect me."

"No way!"

Lady Bai flatly refused, "Those bandits have all sorts of vile means at their disposal. Even if we send more people to guard you, if they use something like Soul-bewitching Incense, it would all be in vain. It’s better to go back to the mansion."

Before Xiang Yun could speak, a voice suddenly came from the entrance.

"Just let her stay here."

Mo Zili entered with his customary indifference, greeted the two ladies with a bow, and respectfully called, "Mother-in-law, mother—"

Upon seeing him, Xiang Yun felt a bit scared, and like a frightened rabbit, she threw herself into Madam Wu’s bosom, her wide eyes staring at him in terror.

Mo Zili, looking at the panic-stricken Xiang Yun, said softly, "Don’t be afraid. I won’t hurt you. If you want to stay here, then stay. I’ll come to live with you!"
