Chapter 1381: Chapter 1388 Empress of Qing Luo Kingdom Arrives (5)

But upon second thought, she was not the type of woman to covet vanity, and would certainly not have any intentions towards him simply because he was His Highness, The Prince.

However, he... it was hard to say.

Both being men, he could see that Situ Changge had feelings for her. His love for her was clear and evident; otherwise, he wouldn’t have opposed Duke Li Guo Mansion for her sake when he was still a humble little shopkeeper. Even if he liked her then, it was impossible, but now things were different. If he were to propose to her, perhaps the Marquis of Jian’an would happily marry his daughter off to him!

His heart thudded several times, and he could no longer sit still. He threw down the book, stood up, and strode out of the study room.

"Hey, Young Master, where are you going?" Cheng Cai chased after him, following closely behind.

"Go order the stables to prepare a horse!" Mo Zili commanded with a frown, but did not disclose his destination.

Cheng Cai shrank his neck, inwardly regretting his prying; the Young Master was obsessed over the Young Madam. If he were to storm into the palace now and confront Situ Changge—no, the Prince of Qing Luo Kingdom—for a robbery, being a relative of the Emperor, it would hardly matter to him, but as his attendant, he would likely become the scapegoat...

Thankfully, after mounting the horse, the Young Master did not head towards the palace but instead rode straight to the Marquis of Jian’an Mansion.

Upon arriving at the mansion, he leapt off the horse, threw the reins to Cheng Cai, and went to knock on the door himself. The head gatekeeper warehouse opened the door, but before he could speak, was pushed aside by Mo Zili.

Mo Zili stormed in, ignoring the housekeepers who tried to stop him. Knowing his respected identity as the legitimate grandson from Duke Li Guo Mansion, the household servants dared not get rough with him nor let him in, so they could only block his way and plead bitterly...

With such a commotion outside, the servants didn’t dare to decide on their own, and someone had hastened to the second doorway to have the housemaid inform inside.

Today was the fifteenth, and the Marquis of Jian’an, as usual, was resting in his wife’s room; the husband and wife were sitting on the kang talking when the maid suddenly entered and reported that Young Master Li from Duke Li Guo Mansion had stormed into the mansion and was about to reach the backyard.

Upon hearing this, the Marquis of Jian’an immediately jumped off the kang, putting on his shoes and saying, "This arrogant beast, he came to show off in my mansion last time and I haven’t settled the score with him yet. Now he dares to provoke again, does he think Marquis Jian’an’s Mansion is easy to bully?"

While talking, he had already put on his shoes and darted out like a gust of wind. Madam Wu, fearing trouble, also hurriedly got off the kang, put on her shoes, and chased after him.

Mo Zili reached the entrance of the second door where the housemaid, alarmed and having heard the news earlier, had already locked the second door, refusing to open it no matter how much he banged and knocked from the outside.

Unable to break in, Mo Zili was contemplating whether to use his light skills to fly in when the door suddenly opened. The Marquis of Jian’an strode out furiously, walked up to Mo Zili, and without a word, threw a punch!

"Pop—"

Mo Zili’s head was knocked sideways, and his face quickly swelled up; he spat out a mouthful of blood, turned his head, and called out, "Father-in-law!"

Hearing this, the Marquis of Jian’an, fueled with rage, delivered another punch. Mo Zili staggered, nearly falling. His face turned pale, and his lips swelled and cracked. Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he straightened up and called again, "Father-in-law!"

"Who is your father-in-law!"

The Marquis of Jian’an glared, his eyebrows knitted in anger, raising his fist high again.

Mo Zili did not dodge; facing the incoming fist, he tugged at the swollen, cracked corners of his mouth and smiled, saying, "Father-in-law, according to Our Great Jin Nation’s law, a divorce must have the consent of both parents, signed and sealed by the husband and wife, only then it is valid. Zili has not signed the divorce letter, and the divorce decreed by the Emperor doesn’t count!"
