Chapter 1246: Chapter 1252 Young Master Li Arrives (4)

He had made up his mind, once her health improved, he would give her some money, send her away, and have nothing to do with her anymore.

He was going to find Xiang Yun. Although Xiang Yun wasn’t skilled in dancing with the wind or composing poetry, her authenticity and lovability, her frank and lively personality, would unconsciously affect him, making him feel suddenly cheerful, and in her absence, he found himself constantly thinking of her, recalling that brief yet beautiful time they had spent together.

She held up her pale, jade-like fingers, mysteriously asking him like a little fox, "What is this?"

She stood with her hands on her hips, arrogantly laughing up at the sky, "You fool, convinced now, are you..."

She hid a chess piece behind her back, raising her adorable round face, arguing illogically, "A blatant chariot and stealthy horse steal cannon, isn’t that exactly what Chinese chess is about?"

...

Every smirk, every expression, every gesture, every word of hers—he hadn’t intentionally tried to remember, but they were all vividly retained in his memory, etched onto his heart, making him repeatedly savor them, immersing him so deep that he couldn’t extricate himself!

He didn’t realize what he was thinking about, but the corners of his lips curled up, and he started to smile faintly. Suddenly, Little Bun walked in, and upon seeing his master smiling, was startled, thinking he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

The master rarely smiled, and even when he did, it was mostly a dismissive chuckle or cold sneer, but a smitten... yes, a silly grin, it was truly rare and precious. If this Little Bun were also a time-traveler, he would surely regret not bringing a mobile phone with him, for he would have certainly captured this silly smile of the master as a unique collection!

Mo Zili, noticing someone had entered the room, abruptly withdrew his smile, tensing his face as he coldly asked, "What is it?"

"Uh... Young Master, Housekeeper Han said... the carriage is ready..."

Caught spying on his master, Little Bun guiltily lowered his head, not daring to meet the Young Master’s piercing gaze.

Luckily, the master didn’t burst into anger but merely said icily, "Go inform Aunt Wu to load everything onto the carriage, we’re leaving immediately..."

...

After Liu Xi left the manor, Madam Wu quickly ran into Xiang Yun’s room, anxiously asking if the Empress had issued any imperial orders.

She privately thought, since the Empress was the daughter-in-law of Duke Li Guo’s Mansion and since another sister was to marry into the Duke Li Guo Mansion, she would naturally speak for them. Thus, when Eunuch Liu arrived, she was full of hope that the Empress Dowager had issued a decree to forcefully make Xiang Yun return to the mansion. If the Empress Dowager issued such a decree, even a stubborn daughter wouldn’t dare to disobey, and her heart’s stone would be laid to rest.

Sadly, Xiang Yun merely said lightly, "The Empress came to borrow a pattern from me; I have already given it to her!"

"There’s nothing else? Didn’t the Empress know you had left?" Madam Wu persisted reluctantly.

"That’s it." Xiang Yun replied dryly.

Madam Wu felt disappointed, but then thought, if someone could mention to the Empress to issue a decree for Xiang Yun, wouldn’t she obediently return to Duke Li Guo’s Mansion then? If she returned, wouldn’t all the problems be solved?

Thinking of this, Madam Wu swept away her previous dejection and hurriedly left the manor, headed straight for Duke Li Guo’s Mansion to discuss with her mother-in-law...

Finally, her mother had left, and the peace returned to Xiang Yun’s ears. Instead of going back inside, Xiang Yun walked around the manor’s boundary wall, looking at the planted vegetables and fruits, inhaling the fresh and earthy scent of herbs, feeling her spirit uplifted and her body much more relaxed.
