Chapter 1340: Chapter 1347: If You Love, You Trust (3)

Nangong Yi said, "You truly were wronged, Madam, tonight. Come, let your husband take you to a place as compensation, how about that?"

Cai Wei asked, "What place that’s so mysterious?"

Nangong Yi laughed and said, "You’ll know once we get there. I guarantee you’ll like it. Let’s go!" Saying this, he took Cai Wei by the hand and walked deeper into the mountains, guided by the clear moonlight.

"Brother Zi Qi, why are you avoiding me and refusing to meet?" Next to a stream in the mountains, Nangong Yu asked Mo Ziqi with a tearful voice.

Cai Wei and Nangong Yu were both startled, not expecting to run into them here. Quick-witted, Cai Wei pulled Nangong Yi behind an ancient tree to avoid being seen. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Under the moonlight, Mo Ziqi’s indifferent face betrayed few expressions, his composed and steady demeanor exuding a kind of aloofness that repels people thousands of miles away.

"Princess, you misunderstand. I am not avoiding you, nor is there any reason to do so," he replied.

"Princess? Brother Zi Qi, you used to call me Yu’er, never Princess. Are you trying to distance yourself from me?" Nangong Yu pressed.

Mo Ziqi spoke indifferently, "In the past, I was young and didn’t understand things. I hope the Princess won’t take it to heart. Now that we have both grown up, we must adhere to the etiquette of monarch and minister and dare not overstep again."

Hearing this, Nangong Yu began to cry, "Brother Zi Qi, there’s no need for such formality between us. Yu’er still wants you to treat her as you did when we were young. Remember when you saved me? Imperial Mother asked what reward you wanted, and you said you wanted..."

"Princess, I was young and ignorant then, those thoughtless words shouldn’t be taken to heart," before Nangong Yu could finish, Mo Ziqi abruptly and coldly interrupted her.

Crying, Nangong Yu said, "But, Yu’er really misses Brother Zi Qi from those days. You were so good to me. It was Yu’er who was foolish and let you down. I know I was wrong and I’m full of regret. Brother Zi Qi, can you forgive me and treat me as you did when we were younger?"

Mo Ziqi replied flatly, "Princess, we are both grown now. We should know to avoid suspicion. If we were to interact as we did when we were young, and any rumors damaging to the Princess’s reputation arose, my sin would be great. Besides, I am already betrothed. Should any improper rumors spread, Fei’er would be hurt!"

Nangong Yu said, "After all that, Brother Zi Qi, you’re truly worried about upsetting Miss Fei’er, aren’t you? Yu’er is already tainted, so it makes sense that Brother Zi Qi no longer likes me. But Brother Zi Qi, your Fei’er might not be as pure and flawless as you think. Be careful not to be deceived!"

Behind the ancient tree, Cai Wei, upon hearing this, was so enraged that her hair stood on end. This detestable Nangong Yu, she had kindly agreed to let her come to the hunting ground, yet here she was trying to undermine Fei’er, and worse still, attempting to sling mud at her. She was utterly despicable. If it weren’t for her wanting to see Mo Ziqi’s reaction, she would have rushed out to give her two big ear scratches.

Upon hearing these words, Mo Ziqi’s expression sharpened, and he demanded, "What do you mean by that?"

Wiping away her tears, Nangong Yu said, "Brother Zi Qi, Yu’er has had people investigate. Mu Caifei and Huo Yuan, the richest person in our Great Jin Nation, seem to be quite connected. It’s said that Nanny Xi, who is now teaching her sewing, was originally from our Palace’s Clothing Bureau and was hired away by Huo Yuan on a high salary to please her; furthermore, when the Mu Family was expelled by the State Duke’s Mansion, Huo Yuan personally took them into his Bishui Villa. It is said that Huo Yuan rarely invites people to that villa, even turning away his own uncle at the entrance; and most crucially, a purse that Huo Yuan wears on his body every day was personally embroidered by your fiancée. With so much evidence, isn’t it enough to prove something?"
