Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress-Chapter 1306 - 1313 Body Examination (3)

Lady Wu heard this and hurriedly said, "Younger sister, you’ve gone too far with your words. The matter has not yet been clarified, perhaps there’s some misunderstanding."

Old Madame declared, "Misunderstanding or not, let her come back and speak for herself. Remember, if she doesn’t come back this time, the Mo Family can no longer accommodate her!"

Mo Zili knelt down and said, "Grandmother, rest assured, I will definitely bring her back and give an explanation to both the family and you!"

As they were speaking, a maid serving at the entrance came to report, "Old Madame, the Lady of Marquis Jian’an requests an audience!"

Lady Bai angrily said, "Do not see her, her daughter has turned our whole family into a laughingstock. What face does she have to see us? Send her back!"

Old Madame said, "Since she’s here, let us meet with her. After all, our two families have had decades of friendship. Moreover, let’s see what she has to say..."

...

Xiang Yun didn’t know she had already been placed at the center of turmoil. She had woken up early, with a great appetite, and had eaten a bowl of coarse rice porridge, a gold thread roll, and a bowl of egg custard.

After eating, she visited Cui Wen and Cui Lu, spent some time with them, and then instructed the servants to prepare the carriage, planning to visit the Zhenbao Pavilion again.

Due to an unexpected incident yesterday, she failed to meet Cai Wei as arranged. She needed to explain to her today, to prevent Cai Wei from being upset!

Now that Cui Wen and Cui Lu were injured, Cui Ping and Cui Lan had taken over to serve her. These two little maidservants were also brought from her parents’ house, but because they were young and not as sensible as Cui Wen and Cui Lu, she hadn’t trusted them much until now. The little maidservants had quietly borne their grievances; however, today, the Young Madam broke routine and decided to take them out, delighting them both. Cui Ping rushed off to prepare the carriage, and Cui Lan was spinning like a top behind Xiang Yun, helping her dress and put on makeup.

Once ready, she walked to the courtyard with Cui Lan’s assistance, standing under the sun while waiting for the carriage to be readied.

At that moment, Cui Ping, who had gone to prepare the carriage, rushed in, her face losing its earlier enthusiasm. She said in a panic, "Young Madam, I saw the Young Master returning. He brought several old palace maids with him and seems very upset."

As she was speaking, Mo Zili already strode in with a grave face, just as Cui Ping had described, his face gloomy and followed by four strong old palace maids and an elderly, well-dressed nanny.

Seeing the neatly dressed Xiang Yun, he involuntarily thought of her secretly meeting someone else, his heart suddenly felt pained as if pricked by a needle. He walked up to Xiang Yun, looking down at her with a scornful gaze and coldly mocked, "Where are you off to?"

Xiang Yun disliked his accusatory tone and the sneering expression even less, so she averted her gaze and said indifferently, "I was startled by a horse yesterday, and the tasks I had needed to do were left undone. Today, I found time to complete them."

"Heh!"

He continued to sneer, "What task is so important that you’d ignore the rumors outside and insist on going out to handle it?"

Xiang Yun gave him a cold look and said, "As I’ve said, the innocent are clear and the guilty muddied. What others say is their business; I am guilt-free and need not fret over slander!"

Mo Zili laughed coldly and said, "Whether you are innocent or not affects the entire reputation of Duke Li Guo’s Mansion; you cannot afford to disregard it."

"What do you want then?" Xiang Yun asked fearlessly.

Mo Zili said, "Come back to the mansion with me, and explain clearly to the elders when you met this Situ Changge and what exactly happened on the night of the attack. Why was he in your manor? And ultimately, whether there was any inappropriate conduct between you..."
