Chapter 1139: Chapter 1144: Giving You a Child (4)

Turning back is only possible if one has a heart, but if he doesn’t even possess a heart, what can he use to turn back?

They had known each other since childhood and could be considered childhood sweethearts, yet on their wedding night, he told her his heart belonged to someone else. Aside from status and respect, he could offer her nothing—it was truly laughable. Was she, the esteemed daughter of Marquis Jian’an’s Mansion, lacking in men willing to offer her status and respect? If his heart was with another, why then did he marry her, wasting her life and youth? If he married her, why did he keep someone else in his heart? Such wrongs hurt both himself and her!

Seeing the smile on her master’s face and realizing she had no intention of trying to please the young master, Nanny Xie remembered her own aging features and suddenly scrunched up her face.

"Young Madam, even if you don’t wish to please the Young Master, you should plan for your future. If you don’t take advantage of your youth to have a son, what will you rely on when you’re old? In my opinion, you should set your pride aside. Be a bit more proactive when the lamp is extinguished at night. Men love novelty, and given your delicate onion-like appearance and youth, the young master surely won’t have the heart to reject you... Ah... Young Master..."

Nanny Xie’s voice broke off as she called out, nervous to the point she wished she could vanish into a crevice. Unbeknownst to her, Mo Zili had already come in. He was dressed in a sky-blue long robe embroidered with a re-entrant pattern, a piece of glossy and lustrous psychic jade tied around his waist, and by his side dangled an exquisitely unique double-lotus purse in lake blue, made from Shu Brocade—a clear sign it was crafted by the hands of a skillful woman!

Nanny Xie shrank her neck, like a quail sensing danger, with none of the earlier persuasive coaxing or heartfelt concern. Seeing the displeasure on the young master’s face, she quickly bowed and scurried out of the room as if fleeing.

Xiang Yun felt a burning sensation on her face; Nanny Xie’s words had surely been overheard by him. While she had no intention of flattering him or coaxing him to sleep with her, being overheard discussing such topics would inevitably lead him to harbor suspicions.

Emperor Bodhisattva, he wouldn’t think she wanted to use him as a sperm donor, would he?

At the thought, a lament stirred in Xiang Yun’s heart; as heaven was her witness, she truly had no such intention!

"You want a child?"

Without warning, the man’s indifferent voice resounded, void of any warmth.

"Ah!"

Xiang Yun looked up in panic, about to deny it, when the man suddenly stated, "I can give you a child."

"What? What are you saying?"

Xiang Yun was perplexed; she couldn’t believe her ears, looking blankly at the man with a cold expression, it seemed entirely unbelievable.

Mo Zili repeated himself, "I said, I can give you a child, as compensation to you." After saying that, he turned and went into the inner room to change his clothes.

Xiang Yun’s head felt as if it had exploded, incessantly replaying the man’s words. He said, as compensation to her, he could give her a child...

At that moment, the words Cai Wei said yesterday suddenly surfaced in her mind, ’Live your own life, break away from men, don’t depend on anyone but your own hands, live the life you want to...’

Though the idea was absurd, it kept lingering in her mind, disrupting her thoughts, making it impossible for her to calm down.

In fact, the kind of life Cai Wei spoke of sounded very attractive to her, a person who yearned for freedom, truly hoping to live as Cai Wei described. Yet, the responsibility of a family clan alliance through marriage, the scrutiny of the people of the world, and the kindness and tolerance of the elders of Duke Li Guo’s Mansion made her hesitate about pursuing such a life.
