Chapter 1382: Chapter 1389 Empress of Qing Luo Kingdom Arrives (6)

Marquis Jian’an clenched his fist and bellowed, "Do you think I care whether you sign or not? Even if there wasn’t an imperial edict, my daughter would never live with you beast. Get out of here, or I’ll cripple you today!"

Mo Zili cupped his hands together, knelt down solemnly, and said, "If my father-in-law wishes to teach Zili a lesson, please feel free to do so. Zili indeed had been foolish before, causing Xiang Yun to be sad and angering both you and Mother-in-law. Today, Zili has come to beg for forgiveness. Whether you choose to beat or punish, Zili will accept any decision made by my esteemed father-in-law. However, whatever happens, I implore you to hear one thing Zili has to say."

Upon hearing this, Marquis Jian’an put down his fist and said with a cold laugh, "If you are planning to ask me to let my daughter go back and live with you, save it. The whole Capital knows about the body examination incident at Duke Li Guo’s Mansion. To this day, damn it, I still get pointed at because of it. If I could kill you, damn it, I would have slaughtered you long ago. How could I let you barge into Mansion of Marquis Jian’an over and over?"

Mo Zili lifted his head and gazed steadily at Marquis Jian’an, "I don’t know what could possibly appease you and forgive Zili’s mistakes. All you need to do is name it, and Zili will comply!"

"We will never forgive you for whatever you do!"

Madam Wu, supporting Girl’s hand, walked out from the backyard and glared furiously at Mo Zili.

Mo Zili said, "My parents-in-law, what Zili did before indeed was unworthy. I’ve already regretted my previous misactions and wish to compensate Xiang Yun, to treat her well and live with her devotedly. Parents-in-law, please think about it; if Zili wasn’t truly repentant, he wouldn’t insist on bringing her back."

"Now in the eyes of others, Xiang Yun is considered a divorcee. In the future, no matter whom she marries, people will care about her status. Any slight mistake could plunge her into an irreparable situation. But it’s different with Zili; having wronged her before, if I were to take her back, I would love her twice as much, cherish her, and keep her in the palm of my hand, never letting her be sad or distressed for the rest of her life!"

"Therefore, daringly, Zili pleads for one more chance from my parents-in-law. Zili is willing to make a military pledge in front of The Emperor and the Empress; if I ever cause Xiang Yun sadness or distress again, you can dispose of me however you see fit!"

Mo Zili, a person usually cold in demeanor, rarely spoke so much at once, let alone begged so humbly for the first time.

Marquis Jian’an and his wife, upon hearing this, furrowed their brows simultaneously and fell silent, seemingly lost in thought.

It must be said that Mo Zili was quite persuasive; his words indeed struck a chord with them.

After Xiang Yun’s divorce, matchmakers had indeed brought suitors to the door, but the would-be grooms were either newly rich from the city or widows, some even already having many children, and their social status was several notches lower than that of their Marquis’s Mansion!

Their daughter was still young, and couldn’t possibly stay at home all her life; she must marry someday. Due to her divorced status, her value has greatly depreciated, making it impossible for her to marry into a decent family, and decent families wouldn’t marry a divorced woman. What was more frightening was that her divorcee status could become a major hidden danger in her future life. No matter whom she married, if she happened to upset her husband or in-laws someday, and they made an issue of her status, wouldn’t that be driving her to her death? How could they rest easy?

Seeing that the couple fell into contemplation without a word, Mo Zili knew they were moved. He spoke again, "Previously, Zili, due to recklessness, caused the Parents-in-law and Xiang Yun to lose face. Zili is willing to apologize humbly to express my determination for repentance, and also I hope to help Parents-in-law and Xiang Yun regain some face."

Mo Zili’s words were indeed sincere. Although the Marquis Jian’an was conflicted, he had not forgotten the great shame his daughter had previously suffered. Therefore, he snorted coldly and said, "The Emperor has already decreed, how can you presume to change it so casually? I think, you’d better go back, and don’t come here again in the future!"
