Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress-Chapter 1310 - 1317: Divorce (2)

Everyone was confused when they saw that Mo Zili had not brought Xiang Yun back but instead had brought back a maid. Old Madame asked, "Li’er, where is Xiang Yun? Why didn’t you bring her back?"

Mo Zili knelt on the ground and said, "Replying to Grandmother, I have offended Xiang Yun, and she refused to come back."

Lady Bai angrily said, "Her scandal has caused an uproar throughout the city, making everyone in our mansion lose face, become the butt of jokes, and be pointed at. We haven’t even gotten angry at her, and she still has the audacity to be upset? I think she is just guilty and dare not come back to face us!"

The First Lady disagreed, saying, "Sister-in-law, you can eat messily but you should not speak carelessly. The matter with Yun’er has not yet been clarified, and here you are, tossing dirty water on our own daughter-in-law without distinguishing right or wrong! Aren’t you worried that Li’er’s reputation could be damaged too?"

Lady Bai replied, "If she’s innocent, why wouldn’t she dare to come back? In my opinion, there must be something wrong with her. Well, Tonight let’s send our mansion’s Secret Guard to bring in that dishonest merchant named Situ, and a thorough interrogation will tell us the truth."

"Mother, you have misunderstood Xiang Yun; she is innocent!" Mo Zili knelt there, speaking in his usual cold tone.

"Innocent?"

Lady Bai snorted coldly, "Did she tell you that herself? I suppose only a fool with ’cotton ears’ would believe such a thing."

"No, it was verified by me, personally!" Mo Zili said, and then he glanced back at the maid behind him, who, seeing the situation, quickly stepped forward and bowed low.

"Replying to Old Madame and the two Ladies," the Steady Old Zhang Mama said, "I am Zhang Mama from Wu Family Alley on Sishui Street, specializing in delivering babies and performing virginity tests for young ladies in households. Today, I was summoned by the Young Master to go to the manor to examine the Young Madam. After my examination, I can confirm that the Young Madam is still a virgin—a perfect and pure jade, untouched. Old Madame and the two Ladies can rest assured!"

The room suddenly fell silent!

Old Madame, the First Lady, and the Second Lady looked at each other, shocked into speechlessness.

It was Mo Zijing’s wife, Lady Liu, who, trembling, asked the Steady Woman, "Are you saying you performed a... body examination on the Young Madam?"

The Steady Woman replied, "Precisely!"

First Lady Wu stuttered in disbelief, "You really performed a... body examination on Yun’er? You... have not... consummated the marriage yet?"

Mo Zili looked down, ashamed, and said apologetically, "Yes, Zili was confused before and neglected her, but it will not happen again..."

"Confused!"

Old Madame came to her senses and shouted angrily, slamming her hand on the table—the lid of the teacup on the table bounced, and tea splashed out.

"You foolish thing, how could you do such an absurd thing?"

Lady Bai also angrily said, "Evil barrier, how could you proceed with such a big decision without first consulting the elders? By doing this, aren’t you forcing the Marquis of Jian’an’s Mansion to turn against our Duke Li Guo’s Mansion?" frёeωebɳovel.com

Mo Zili replied, "Rumors outside are rampant, and this was the only way to put a stop to them. Zili knows that this may hurt Xiang Yun and the relationship between the Marquis of Jian’an’s Mansion and our Duke Li Guo’s Mansion, but this was done by Zili alone. I alone will bear the responsibility, ensuring that it does not affect our mansion. Zili will personally go to the Marquis of Jian’an’s Mansion to apologize to my parents-in-law and seek their forgiveness. From now on, I will treat Xiang Yun well and ensure that she never suffers any injustice again. I also ask Grandmother and Mother to put this matter behind us and no one should bring it up again!"

Old Madame, furious, pounded her chest and pointed at Mo Zili, "In which past life did I accumulate such bad karma to raise such a confused descendant who commits such ridiculous deeds? Think about it. Not to mention whether the results of your test will be believed by the people of the world, just the fact that your wife of several months is still untouched is enough to raise suspicions. Now, people have even more gossip to discuss over tea and dinner. Our Duke Li Guo’s Mansion continuously becomes the laughing stock. The Marquis of Jian’an’s Mansion has a deep foundation and thus has suffered this great shame. It’s not something that can be resolved with just an apology. Not to mention them, even those less significant than them would not let this go so easily. I’m afraid this ends the nearly century-long relationship our Duke Li Guo’s Mansion had with them..."
