Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress-Chapter 1308 - 1315: Body Examination (5)

Moreover, he needed a stable woman to come forward to confirm Xiang Yun’s innocence. Only by proving her innocence could he somewhat alleviate the fullness of resentment from his grandmother and mother, and stop them from paying attention to those rumors.

Of course, if the result of this matter were otherwise, although he would be disappointed and furious to the point of madness, he still could not bear to truly let her die or lead a life as an ancient Buddha with a green lantern. He would find a place to hide her, where no one, including that damned Situ, could find her. Only he would know where she was. She would still be his woman, in this lifetime, whether she was willing or not!

In the room, Xiang Yun’s crying gradually became hoarse and weak. She seemed to have exhausted all her strength and was finally subdued by several sturdy maids who successfully examined her body.

The stable woman and several maids came out with joy written all over their faces, saying, "Congratulations, Young Master, congratulations, Young Master. The Young Madam is still of perfect body. This old servant has carefully inspected her, and the Young Madam has no issues whatsoever."

On hearing this, the boulder pressing on Mo Zili’s heart suddenly fell to the ground. He couldn’t help but laugh and turned to walk into the room.

On the kang of the inner room, Xiang Yun lay there, distraught and covered with the big red peony flower cloak she had just been wearing. Her hair was disheveled, and her eyes were vacant as if she had become a soulless husk.

Mo Zili walked over and sat down on the edge of the kang, looking at Xiang Yun in this state, he whispered softly, "This is very painful for me too, but if it were not like this, you would be unable to clear your name even if you jumped into the Yellow River..."

"You have no idea how nasty the rumors outside are. The Old Madame and my wife have both had thoughts of deposing you. Only by proving your innocence can we cut off their thoughts of deposing you..."

"Rest assured, as long as you don’t have any dealings with that shopkeeper Situ in the future, you will still be my wife, Mo Zili, the Young Madam of Duke Li Guo’s Mansion. Now, get up. Let’s return to the Mansion together. With that stable woman’s testimony, I expect the Old Madame and my wife will no longer make things difficult for you..."

...

Xiang Yun seemed not to have heard him speak, or to have seen him at all, lying there motionless. If it weren’t for the silent tears flowing in her eyes, one would truly believe she was dead!

Seeing her like this, Mo Zili was heartbroken. He raised his hand to smooth her disheveled hair, but before his hand could touch her, she suddenly screamed sharply, wrapping herself in the cloak and scrambling to hide in the corner of the kang.

"Ah... Don’t touch me... Get out..."

Mo Zili hurriedly stopped his hand and explained, "Don’t be afraid, I won’t hurt you, I just want to take you back to the Mansion to see..."

"Nanny Xie, Nanny Xie, come save me, get them out, wuu wuu wuu..."

Xiang Yun held her head, crouched in the corner, shivering with a hoarse cry, looking extremely pitiful!

Seeing her so agitated, Mo Zili closed his mouth and looked at her with pity, then turned and walked outside.

In the courtyard, Cui Ping and Cui Lan were still crying. Mo Zili walked out and said coldly, "Go in, take good care of the Young Madam, don’t let her cry anymore. If you comfort her well, there will be benefits for you!"

Cui Ping and Cui Lan, hearing the command, dared not disobey and hurriedly entered the room with their heads down.

Xiang Yun was indeed traumatized. She wrapped herself in the cloak in the corner, not allowing anyone near her. No matter who approached, she would scream and kick. It was not just Cui Ping and Cui Lan who could not comfort her; even Cui Lu who came in with hanging arms couldn’t calm her after a long while.

When Xiang Yun learned that her mother, Madam Wu, had arrived, she felt a bit better. Although she was not as panicked and sharp as before, she was terribly sad. Upon seeing Madam Wu, she threw herself into her bosom and sobbed heartbreakingly, as if she had lost her parents.

Mo Zili could not stay any longer, as the elders at home were waiting for him to bring Xiang Yun back for questioning. Seeing Xiang Yun in this state, he couldn’t bear to drag her back to testify and had to say goodbye to Madam Wu, returning alone.

Madam Wu had found out about her daughter’s ordeal last night and was so anxious that she developed a circle of burn blisters around her mouth overnight. The Marquis of Jian’an was also extremely worried, sending Madam Wu early in the morning to inquire at Duke Li Guo’s Mansion, fearing that her daughter had really done something to lose her virtue, shaming the entire family of the Marquis’s Mansion.
