Chapter 1208: Chapter 1214: Xiang Yun Loses Her Temper (1)

That evening, as Xiang Yun rode back to the mansion with the Grandmother, the Old Madame affectionately asked, "Miss Yun, did you eat your fill at the banquet today?"

Xiang Yun laughed and said, "Thank you for your concern, Grandmother. I ate well."

The Old Madame said, "Good, as long as you’ve eaten well, you’ll have the energy to deal with those seductive fox demons." Xiang Yun knew what the Old Madame was referring to, her expression darkened, and she silently lowered her head, absentmindedly twirling the handkerchief in her hands.

Old Madame said, "Girl, are you blaming us for not standing by your side and for keeping that seductive fox in the mansion?"

Xiang Yun bit her lip and quietly said, "Grandmother kept her for the sake of the child in her stomach, right?"

The Old Madame said, "The child is one aspect, but no matter what, what she carries in her stomach is the bloodline of our Duke Li Guo’s Mansion. It doesn’t make sense to let the blood of our Duke Li Guo’s Mansion flow outside. Of course, besides that, there are other reasons."

Xiang Yun, confused, said, "What reasons?"

With a sincere and concerned tone, the Old Madame said, "Of course, it’s for you and your husband’s sake. People of the world say that what you can’t have is always the best. If Lady Du isn’t by Zili’s side, he will think of her every day and always feel like she is the best. Now, by placing Lady Du right under his eyelids, they can look at her day after day and clearly see what kind of goods the woman he fancies really is!"

"I’ve judged people my entire life, and my eyes are sharp. I could tell at a glance what kind of goods Lady Du is. She might deceive Zili, but she can’t fool me. Supposedly, time reveals a horse’s strength and the heart of a man. No matter how well she acts, her true identity will eventually be exposed. Just wait and see. Zili is an impartial person. Once he sees through Lady Du’s true identity, he will naturally turn back and be devoted to living a life wholeheartedly with you!"

Xiang Yun pursed her lips and said, "Grandmother, Lady Du may be the type of woman he likes. He always tells me I’m crude and not virtuous, always arguing with me..."

The Old Madame laughed and said, "That you do not understand. It’s a good thing he’s willing to argue with you. I understand my grandson. If it’s someone he doesn’t care about, he wouldn’t bother to say a word! Willing to argue with you shows he’s already taken you to heart. It’s just that the foolish boy hasn’t realized it yet!"

Arguing with her means he has taken her to heart? What kind of logic is that? Although Xiang Yun did not believe it, she dared not contradict the Grandmother and could only say, "Grandmother, I understand."

The Old Madame said, "Now that you understand, just wait patiently. Never lose heart or give up on him. Your life is your own, and so is your man. Bickering is of no use. Only those who can withstand loneliness can enjoy lasting happiness..."

After returning to the mansion, the Old Madame brought Xiang Yun to her own courtyard and ordered someone to fetch the precious ginseng that Cai Wei had given her, saying, "From now on, you will be the one to boil the ginseng soup for him daily. You are his daughter-in-law; this task is rightly yours to do!"

That piece of old ginseng was five to six hundred years old, had already taken human form, and was extremely precious. Throughout the entire Great Jin, neither the ginseng market nor the Medical Center had seen a second piece of ginseng as old as this one. This piece, worth a thousand gold, was originally intended to be the Town’s Treasure of the Duke Li Guo’s Mansion, but after Mo Zili was injured, the Grandmother, pained by her grandson’s suffering, resolutely brought out the old ginseng. Each day she had a couple of slices cut to boil in soup for Mo Zili to drink. Mo Zili had broken two ribs and had been stepped on by a horse hoof, but he recovered so quickly that he could now sit up at will, all thanks to the nourishment from this old ginseng!

Xiang Yun was also aware of the preciousness of this piece of ginseng. Looking at the old ginseng that had already been used by one-third, she said, "Grandmother, this ginseng is too precious. You should keep it for yourself. His body is almost recovered; regular ginseng will suffice!"
