Chapter 1365: Chapter 1372: Jealousy (5)

This sentence struck Mo Zili where it hurt the most, making his heart bleed. Grinding his teeth, he said word by word: "Situ Changge, you’re seeking death!"

These seven words were squeezed out between his clenched teeth, as his face turned as black as it could possibly get.

Situ Changge let out a cold laugh, still with an air of nonchalance: "Then let’s give it a try!"

The two men faced each other, with cold stares and an air of tension so thick it was almost palpable, their fists crackling as it seemed they were on the verge of coming to blows.

Seeing this, Xiang Yun trembled as she poked her little head out from behind Situ Changge and said to the two men: "This is the Empress Dowager’s territory. If you fight here, the Empress Dowager won’t let you off!"

Mo Zili, looking at that small head he both loved and hated, furiously said: "Wu Xiangyun, don’t scare me with the Empress. If you’re afraid I’ll hurt your beloved, then come out. Otherwise, I won’t make it easy for him!"

Situ Changge replied with a cold smile: "Young Master Mo, you sure talk big. We’ll see soon enough who gets hurt!"

"Oh! What’s going on here? Why is everyone standing?"

With a tease that sounded like both a laugh and not, Cai Wei entered leisurely, her clever and beautiful eyes scanning over Mo Zili and Situ Changge’s faces before she took a seat.

She had just been conversing with Lord Han and Master Zhao when Xiang Yun’s maid, Cui Lu, quietly came to find her, saying Mo Zili was pestering the Miss again. She didn’t dare to neglect this, so she hurried over to help defuse the situation.

Seeing the Empress Dowager return, Mo Zili, with heavy reluctance, removed his gaze from Situ Changge and saluted: "Paying respects to the Empress Dowager!"

Cai Wei laughed and said: "Young Master Li, you’re too polite. You are a guest, so we can dispense with the formalities. Xiang Yun, Changge, make sure Young Master Li takes a seat; shop assistant, bring another set of bowl and chopsticks."

Mo Zili, with a stern face, said: "Your Highness, there is no need to be polite. Zili is here to find Xiang Yun!"

"To find Xiang Yun?"

Cai Wei, surprised, said: "Haven’t you two divorced? Why are you still entangled with each other?"

Xiang Yun, who had come out from behind Situ Changge, stood by Cai Wei’s side and quickly said: "I’m not entangled with him; it’s he who came to pester me!"

Cai Wei said: "Young Master Li, that’s where you’ve gone wrong. Initially, Xiang Yun married you happily. You didn’t treasure her, instead neglecting and tormenting her for a concubine with ill intentions. Now that you are divorced, you come looking for her again, pestering her—is she a plaything for you, to be discarded with a kick when unwanted?"

Mo Zili gravely said: "All the past mistakes were Zili’s. I am willing to be punished. Now I regret it and beg Her Highness to grant me a chance for atonement. For the rest of my life, I will treat her well, ensure she’s happy, and never let her be wronged again!"

Cai Wei smiled and said: "Whether to give you a chance is not up to me, but Xiang Yun. If she’s willing to give you a chance, then naturally, I would be happy to see you two reconcile. However, if Xiang Yun is unwilling, you should not keep pestering her. The world is full of beauties; why fixate on one flower? Moreover, your persistent harassment doesn’t look good for Duke Li Guo’s Mansion!"

Finished speaking, she turned to look at Xiang Yun and asked: "Xiang Yun, what do you say?"

Xiang Yun clenched her fists tightly, gazing firmly at Mo Zili, and said: "Your Highness, I won’t give him another chance, not in this life, not in the next, not ever, through all lifetimes. I will never have anything to do with him again. So, Mo Zili, please stop wasting your efforts on me. I will absolutely, absolutely not forgive you!"
