Chapter 1140 - 1145: Giving You a Child (5)
What should she do, seize the opportunity while Mo Zili was willing to give her a child, to secure a way out for herself? Or should she elegantly shake off her hands, let go of all the wealth and honor before her eyes, and live the life that Cai Wei described as so fascinating?
In a daze, Mo Zili had come out, changed into a riding outfit, probably to go horseback riding. Before leaving, he turned to glance at Xiang Yun with a meaningful look and said, "I will come back early tonight!"
As soon as Mo Zili left, Nanny Xie rushed in from the outer room, her face filled with uncontrollable excitement.
"This is great, the opportunity has finally come. I told you, Young Madam, being so beautiful would not go unnoticed. The Young Master would come back to you sooner or later. Look, didn’t I tell you?"
As she spoke, she slapped her head as if she remembered something, and hurried out, "I need to instruct the maids to heat up bath water for you, and pick some flower petals, and get some milk, rosewater..."
In the afternoon, Nanny Xie bustled about as if injected with chicken blood. She first dragged Xiang Yun into a bathtub soaked with rose petals and milk, forcefully keeping her there for a long half Shi Chen until her skin turned white and looked like it was about to peel off before she let her get out.
Afterward, she applied a jar of black substance on Xiang Yun’s body, claiming it would quickly make her skin fair and delicate.
Xiang Yun felt dizzy from the ordeal, and her brain kept pondering those two options.
Should she have a child, compromising and submitting to the family clan’s will, spending a life in silence within the depths of the marquis’s mansion; or should she boldly let go of everything, ignore the gaze of the world, and live the life she desired?
