Chapter 1229 - 1235: Miscarriage (5)
Therefore, Lady Du shared her thoughts with the Grandmother and Lady Bai, and said, "It’s not that I am speaking for my niece, Xiang Yun is straightforward. If she did it, she would definitely not be able to hide it. If she didn’t, she would never agree upon being falsely accused. When we return to the mansion later, we may as well summon her to inquire whether it was her doing or not. Soon we will be able to discern the truth! If it truly was her, although I’m her aunt, I will by no means cover for her. If it wasn’t her, I still hope that the Grandmother and sister-in-law will take charge and help Yun’er clear her suspicion and restore her reputation."
Despite both being deeply saddened by the loss of Du Wanqing’s children, the Grandmother and Lady Bai were not confused. They had watched Xiang Yun grow up and understood her temperament. Therefore, when Lady Wu made this request, the Grandmother and Lady Bai agreed upon it without hesitation.
Upon returning to the mansion, the Grandmother went directly to Enxi Hall and ordered Ming Yue to go to the Cool Autumn Pavilion and call Xiang Yun to speak with her.
When Ming Yue arrived at the Cool Autumn Pavilion, chaos had already erupted there, chickens and dogs in disarray, people lying upside down. After Du Wanqing lost her child, she fainted several times from extreme sadness. Even after being revived, she refused to take her medicine, crying and declaring she wanted to go with her child.
Meanwhile, Mo Zili confronted Xiang Yun, insisting she admit to pushing Du Wanqing and apologize to her, so the matter could be dropped. Xiang Yun, however, resolutely and indifferently refuted, "I’ll say it again: I didn’t push her. I don’t know why she fell. And I had no idea that, in your eyes, Mo Zili, I was so despicable!"
Seeing the cold, detached look in Xiang Yun’s eyes, Mo Zili felt pain in his heart, but after all, the bone and flesh that had fallen from Lady Du were his own. With a pained expression on his face, he said, "You think I’m falsely accusing you and forcefully placing this crime upon you? You are mistaken. I hope more than anyone that you did not do it. But, the maids on duty in the courtyard all saw you push her. Are they all blind? At this point, why do you still refuse to admit it?"
Xiang Yun responded, "What’s true is true, and what’s not is not. I will never admit to something I didn’t do. I didn’t push her, that’s final. If you want me to admit a mistake to her, wait for another lifetime!" She then turned to Ming Yue and said, "Sister Ming Yue, the Grandmother must have summoned me for this very matter, right? Good, I’ll go with you right now!"
