Chapter 1249: Chapter 1255: Suspicion (1)

Mo Zili sat there unperturbed as the tea splashed by Xiang Yun poured over his head. He didn’t dodge, nor did he even blink; he just let the burning hot tea stream down his pale cheeks, dampening his entire body.

On the side, Cui Wen, Cui Lu, and others were terrified. They hurried over to Xiang Yun’s side and shielded her with their bodies in case Mo Zili suddenly turned violent.

However, Mo Zili did not move. He sat there motionless, looking at Xiang Yun who was sobbing breathlessly, his face expressing pity. After a long time, he said in a low voice, "Xiang Yun, although it was an unintentional fault, I bear the major responsibility in this matter. I don’t blame you for being angry. If splashing water on me does not ease your anger, you can come and hit me, hit me until your anger subsides."

As Xiang Yun was crying, she heard what Mo Zili said, raised her head, and spoke vehemently, "Hit you? What’s the use? Even if I killed you, my nanny wouldn’t come back. So, I won’t hit you, and I won’t forgive you, either. Just go, don’t come back again..."

Mo Zili remained still, looking at Xiang Yun who was crying miserably, silent...

"Go away, just go—"

Seeing he hadn’t left, Xiang Yun grew even angrier. She grabbed the bowl and chopsticks and plates from the Table and started throwing them at him. Cui Wen and Cui Lu were afraid something might happen, and they quickly stopped her, some hugging her arms and others snatching away the bowl and chopsticks.

Anxious, Cui Lu said to Mo Zili, "Young Master, you should go back first. Young Madam has been ill these past days and only recently got a bit better. If you stay here, it could aggravate her illness, and if she falls ill again, what should we do?"

After hearing this, Mo Zili stood up and said in a voice filled with dejection, "Alright then, I’ll go back now, and I will come back in a few days..."

"Just go, don’t come back, I don’t want to see you, I never want to see you in this lifetime..."

Behind him, Xiang Yun’s uncontrollable sobs and screams filled the air...

Back in the horse carriage, Housekeeper Han noticed Mo Zili’s hair soaked and his clothes stained with soup drips, and couldn’t help but be astonished. However, he soon understood what happened, was smart enough to keep quiet, and did not pry for reasons.

The horse carriage slowly made its way along the Countryside path, with Mo Zili sitting inside, staring in the direction of the manor, where the vision of the tear-streaked face appeared before his eyes...

"Mo Zili, do you know? When I found out Du Wanqing was pregnant with your child, I gave up on you and even planned my exit strategy. So how could I possibly kill in a jealous rage over you? But no matter how many times I said it, you didn’t believe me. You didn’t want to hit me directly, so you took it out on my nanny, beating her as a warning to me. Do you understand? I would rather you had beaten me to death than my nanny because in my heart, though she was only a nanny, she was dearer to me than my own Mother. I wanted to be with her, to care for her in her old age and ensure her Happiness. But you... you beat her to death..."

"I know that in your eyes, Nanny Xie was just a servant. Even beating her to death just meant she died, and the worst-case scenario would be a generous funeral. But do you know? In my heart, she has always been dearer to me than my Mother. The dearest person to me in the world, you mercilessly beat to death, her Ribs broken, her flesh pounded to mud. She cared for me all her life, never benefiting from my good fortune, and met such an end. Tell me, how could I forgive you? If I forgave you, would I still be human?"

Abruptly, the carriage jolted, interrupting his Thoughts.

Mo Zili clutched at the spot over his heart; he didn’t know if it was the Ribs or heartache, but the Pain furrowed his brow.
