Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress-Chapter 1331 - 1338: Mo Zili’s Pain (6)

Today, if Young Master Li’s presence in Miss’s Zen room were to be discovered, Miss would be unable to clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River and tried to cleanse herself; the concubines and young ladies at home would certainly drown her with their spit.

Therefore, although the two girls were anxious, they dared not call for help. They could only plead in low voices, "Young Master, please leave quickly. If someone sees you here, our Miss’s days in the mansion will be even harder..."

Mo Zili was pained by Xiang Yun’s words. When he heard Cui Ping’s plea, he was momentarily stunned. What did she mean by having an even harder time? Could it be that her days in the mansion were not easy?

Upon further thought, he realized, of course. A woman who has returned to her parents’ house after a divorce was bound to bring many unfavorable implications to her family. It was inevitable for the people in the mansion to resent her. Considering this, her days in the mansion must have been difficult indeed, otherwise she would not have become so thin and frail that it pained him just to look at her!

Taking a deep breath, Mo Zili looked at Xiang Yun with distress and said, "Are your days at your parents’ house not going well? Is someone bullying you?"

With the courage from the two girls, Xiang Yun was no longer as frightened as before. Clenching her fists, she said, "No one is bullying me, and even if they were, it’s not your place to interfere. This is my matter. Don’t forget, we have nothing to do with each other anymore!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Zili’s hands clenched behind his back tightened, and he said, "No matter how you regard me, if others bully you, I will not stand idly by."

When Xiang Yun heard this, she let out a cold laugh, "What right do you have to say such things? Who are you to me, why should you intervene?"

Mo Zili calmly said, "I am your husband, so naturally, I have the right to care about you!"

Hearing these words almost made Xiang Yun burst into laughter out of anger. She replied with a cold laugh, "As I recall, one month ago, The Emperor’s golden words sealed our divorce. Have I remembered incorrectly, or have you gone mad and forgotten?"

Mo Zili said, "Although The Emperor decreed it, I did not sign the Divorce Agreement. According to the laws of our Great Jin Nation, the Divorce Letter must be signed and sealed by both man and woman to take effect. So even if The Emperor decreed our divorce, without my signature on the Divorce Agreement, it counts for nothing."

His logic was forcefully reasoned, and he even presumed the role of her husband, which infuriated Xiang Yun. She clenched her fists and said loudly, "Think whatever you want, but as far as I’m concerned, I have nothing to do with you. If you harass me again, don’t blame me for being rude to you!"

Mo Zili appeared with a bitter smile and said, "When have you ever been polite to me? But no matter how you treat me, it’s all deserved. As long as you’re happy, whatever you do to me, I’ll accept it."

Seeing him steadfastly standing there, with no intention of leaving, Xiang Yun couldn’t be bothered to argue with him any longer. Arguing was pointless – this man was as stubborn as a stone and would never listen to her.

She quickly dressed herself and got off the bed, eager to leave this place. Cui Ping and Cui Lan could see what she was thinking and hurried to help her with her shoes and clothes.

Once she was dressed, she didn’t say a word to him, didn’t even glance at him, and hurried out as if she couldn’t wait to be away from him.

Watching her leave, Mo Zili felt a wave of desolation wash over him. For a month, he had missed her to the point of near madness, unable to enjoy food, unable to sleep. Yet, when she saw him, she acted as if she had seen a ghost – not a trace of longing for him, overflowing instead with aversion.

He had always prided himself on his aloof and proud demeanor, cold-hearted; in the past, if someone spoke to him the way she did, he would definitely have turned on his heel and left, never to have any interaction with her in this lifetime. But now it was different; he was already defeated by her. In front of her, his self-esteem and pride no longer existed. Forget pride or dignity; if only she would turn back, he would be willing to kneel if that’s what it took.

Kneel!

A man’s knees are filled with gold, to kneel before a woman would make him the subject of contempt and ridicule for a lifetime.

But what did scorn and ridicule matter? If it could make her turn back, what did kneeling matter?

"Wu Xiangyun!"

He shouted, his voice so loud that it startled Xiang Yun, causing her to tremble as she turned around, her eyes filled with fear, "What do you want to do? This is not Duke Li Guo’s Mansion where you can act rashly. If you cause trouble, I..."

"You tell me, what exactly will it take for you to forgive me?"

"Is it that I must kneel for you to agree?"

"Tell me!"

Mo Zili bellowed, taking a step forward, staring steadfastly at Xiang Yun.

Yet, his display of true feelings only frightened Xiang Yun more. She took a fearful step back, suddenly turned her body, and like fleeing from a plague, ran off with all her might...
