Chapter 1213: Chapter 1219: Xiang Yun Loses Her Temper (6)

Mo Zili looked at that indifferent departing figure, frowning as he spoke to the maid, "Pack it up, I won’t eat!"

Yingyu cautiously said, "Young Master, you haven’t eaten anything since yesterday noon. Please take care of your health!" Mo Zili gave her a cold glance and said, "Are you the master or am I the master? Since when does a maid get to comment on whether the master eats or not?"

Seeing her master’s gloomy face, Yingyu quickly bowed and apologized, "I overstepped, please forgive me, Young Master!" Then, she hurriedly called the little maids in to clear the table.

Mo Zili looked at the empty table, feeling very stifled.

She wasn’t home yesterday, which dampened his appetite. He kindly intended to wait for her to come home to dine together for dinner. Unexpectedly, Wanqing showed up and they ended up arguing. This morning, he woke up before dawn and asked someone to prepare the light porridge and dishes she liked, hoping to please her, but she didn’t even bother to glance at him, which really made him angry to death!

While moping, he suddenly heard Xiang Yun’s voice.

Looking up, Mo Zili saw that Xiang Yun had changed into new clothes—a dress with an ancient smoke pattern and a skirt decorated with grouped butterflies among blossoms and misty phoenix tails. It complemented her tender white skin, very pleasing to the eyes. However, this outfit wasn’t typical home wear.

He asked, "Are you going out?"

"Yes, the Empress has summoned me," Xiang Yun replied succinctly.

She had already mentioned her meeting with the Empress Dowager to the grandmother and the madam when she paid her respects earlier. She hadn’t planned to tell the men about her outing, but since he asked, there was no harm in informing him.

Seeing her speak with irritation, answering only briefly for every question he asked, refusing to say even one extra word, he paused for a moment and then said, "What kind of jewelry do you like? I’ll send someone to buy it for you later!"

Xiang Yun gave a cold smile, "The value of a gift lies in its sentiment, not the object itself. I am, after all, the legitimate daughter of a marquis’s house; I hardly lack jewelry that has nowhere else to go!"

Saying this, she turned and left!

Mo Zili, with all his good intentions, was rebuked by her, immediately feeling very stifled. This detestable woman, her temper was getting worse!

...

Upon leaving the Duke Li Guo’s Mansion, the horse carriage rattled down the street. Seeing the bustling crowd and the lively street, with street vendors shouting one after another, made Xiang Yun’s mood lighten a lot. She sat in the carriage, slightly lifting the curtain to peek outside at the street while listening to Nanny Xie chatter.

"Young Madam, since the Young Master intends to reconcile, why must you be so unyielding? Besides, it was indeed you who lost temper yesterday. It was just a concubine; was there a need for such a fierce temper?"

Xiang Yun glanced sideways at Nanny Xie and said, "Whether I am lenient or not, he will always think that woman is better. So why should I demean myself to please him? Since I’m already seen as a spiteful, jealous wife in his heart, I might as well be generous and completely let him go to that woman. Anyway, I have no intention of vying for his favor!"

Hearing this, Nanny Xie became anxious, "Young Madam, you mustn’t think like that. You promised the grandmother just yesterday not to give up on your son-in-law, and you promised the madam to live well with your son-in-law. You can’t capriciously go back on your word. The grandmother and the madam would be heartbroken. Besides, even if you don’t think for yourself, you should consider the Marquis of Jian’an’s Mansion, shouldn’t you?"

Xiang Yun clenched her fist, determinedly saying, "I know, so I won’t divorce him. But I also won’t degrade myself to please him or endure in silence. Even if I don’t get a divorce, I will live the life I desire!"

Nanny Xie didn’t understand what the young madam meant, but seeing her determined expression, as if she had made a firm decision, filled Nanny Xie with alarm.

What is this young madam planning? Not striving to win her husband’s heart, what does she intend to do?

Upon reaching Mu’s Shen Record Shop, Xiang Yun adjusted her hooded veil and stepped out. Under the escort of Nanny Xie and her maid servants, she grandly entered Mu’s Shen Record Shop.

The shopkeeper, upon seeing a distinguished madam arriving, hurriedly greeted her with a smiling face, expecting a big customer, "Madam, are you here to buy ginseng?"

At that moment, a young man walked down from the second floor. He wore a brocade robe adorned with a cloud soaring bat pattern, a rhino horn belt around his waist decorated with mutton fat white jade, and his black hair was tied up with a gold-plated tassel crown, presenting an elegant and graceful demeanor.

Situ Changge approached Xiang Yun and said, "Madam Mo, you came here early in the morning; may I know what kind of ginseng you wish to buy?"

Xiang Yun, surprised, asked, "How did you know I am Madam Mo? Have you seen me before? No, that’s not right, I’m wearing a gauze hat. Or do you recognize someone by my side?"

Situ Changge laughed and said, "I just saw from the second-floor window the horse carriage with Duke Li Guo Mansion’s insignia, and given the grand entourage of the madam, if not the madam of Duke Li Guo’s Mansion?"
