Chapter 865 - 867 Confession (2)
Given King Qin’s affection for Mu Caiwei, should he one day achieve great things, Cai Wei would undoubtedly become the Empress. Therefore, Fei’er would be the blood sister of the Empress. As such, in terms of status, she would be no less than any daughter of an official or scholarly family. If King Qin were to fail, Jin Guifei and The Prince’s faction would never allow Duke Li Guo’s Mansion to survive. Hence, even if Mo Ziqi were to marry a woman of equal status, it would not save Duke Li Guo Mansion from the crisis of destruction.
Besides, Duke Li Guo’s Mansion never doubted that King Qin would fail!
The old madame continued, "This girl may seem delicate, but in reality, she is quite resolute. Jumping from such a high bridge, had she not been washed to our house, by now the grass on her grave would have been long. Speaking of which, it seems she’s truly fated with our family’s fourth child. That they could meet under such circumstances, can it not be seen as Yue Lao’s idea? I say, us old folks should just follow heaven’s will and public sentiment, and dutifully prepare to take care of these matters!"
Lady Wu laughed and said, "Old madame speaks truly. Once our mansion’s ban is lifted, we’ll take care of it along with second brother’s family. It will also bring some joy to our house. Speaking of which, it’s been several years since our mansion has had a happy event!"
Fei’er was dragged out by Mo Ziqi, her face turning beet red amid the snickering of the little maids. With her head down and being pulled by a man, it wasn’t appropriate for her to pull away in front of others. Finally, when they got to a place where no one was around, she said in a low voice, "Young Master Mo, please let go. Men and women should not touch hands. It’s not proper for people to see us like this!"
Mo Ziqi did not let go, nor did he stop walking, merely saying in a calm tone, "They already saw us just now. Letting go now would be pointless."
"But..."
"No buts. They’ve already got that idea in their heads, it’s too late to clarify."
"Ah? What should we do then?"
Fei’er panicked, struggling to free her hand from his strong grip, feeling wronged, "If this gets out, won’t my reputation be ruined? And my older sister could get dragged down because of me!"
