Chapter 1237 - 1243: I Want a Divorce with You (6)
Would she forgive him?
"Grandmother!"
Xiang Yun knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the Old Madame, her voice heavy with nasal congestion as she said, "Yun’er is sorry, for disappointing you. I don’t want to be the Mo Family’s Madam anymore. I want to divorce Mo Zili; he beat my wet nurse to death. I will never be able to forgive him in this lifetime!"
Madam was shocked by Xiang Yun’s outrageous words and quickly said, "Xiang Yun, what nonsense are you talking about? Is divorce something that can be mentioned so lightly? Since when does our Wu Family have daughters who divorce? Besides, hasn’t Zili turned back and resolved to live with you in harmony? Why are you still so angry? Why aren’t you apologizing to your grandmother and mother-in-law? Do it quickly!"
While speaking, she was signaling Xiang Yun with her eyes, indicating that she should hurry up and apologize to the Old Madame and Lady Bai.
Xiang Yun, however, acted as if she did not see it and kowtowed to Lady Bai, saying, "Mother, this is the last time Yun’er will call you this. Please forgive my willfulness. But I really can’t accept a man who beat my wet nurse to death as my husband. If you think a divorce would tarnish Duke Li Guo Mansion’s reputation, disowning me is okay too. However, I will be leaving this place tonight, please grant me this."
"Shut up, Xiang Yun!"
Madam interrupted Xiang Yun and hastily turned with a smile toward the Old Madame and Lady Bai, saying, "Grandmother, sister-in-law, you see, this child has such a loyal and righteous heart that the death of her Nanny has left her sad and confused, spouting words out of anger. Please don’t take it to heart!"
Seeing Xiang Yun’s resolute look, the Old Madame knew that it wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment outburst, but that Xiang Yun truly intended to divorce Mo Zili. She looked at Mo Zili with pain, turned to Xiang Yun, and said affectionately, "Miss Yun, Zili truly acted foolishly in this matter. Wait, your grandmother will definitely punish him severely to vent your anger. But let’s not mention divorce again. It’s easier for you to hit or scold someone when you’re angry. However, your grandmother would find it unbearable to let go of such an ideal granddaughter-in-law!"
