Chapter 1263 - 1269: Exposure (4)
"No, no—don’t—"
Xiang Yun cried out reflexively, desperately shaking her head to refuse.
Lady Bai didn’t know about Mo Zili’s previous attempt to rape Xiang Yun; she simply thought her son-in-law had a change of heart and wanted to make amends with her daughter. Seeing her daughter’s refusal, she became angry and said, "Miss Yun, you’re being headstrong again. How did your mother teach you? Do you have to grieve her to death before you are satisfied?"
Madam Wu, guilty and fearful that Xiang Yun would reveal the truth about Mo Zili bullying her, quickly dragged Madam Wu into the room, urging, "Let’s go, let’s go. Give the couple some space; we shouldn’t stay here when we’re not wanted..."
Xiang Yun didn’t want to be alone with Mo Zili. Seeing her mother-in-law pulling her mother into the room, she hurriedly followed, but Mo Zili stopped her, "Xiang Yun, I have something to say to you!"
Xiang Yun turned around, her voice filled with loathing, "I don’t want to listen to you, I don’t even want to see you."
Madam Wu had reached the entrance. Hearing her daughter speak this way, she immediately halted, turned around, and sternly said, "Xiang Yun, Zili is trying to have a reasonable conversation with you. How can you be so unappreciative? Have you completely forgotten the manners your mother taught you? Apologize to Zili right now!"
Lady Bai said, "Oh, let’s leave the couple to their matters; we shouldn’t interfere. Let them argue it out." With that, she pulled Madam Wu into the room and closed the door behind them.
Xiang Yun was left outside the door. Helplessly turning around, she saw Mo Zili approaching her, and like a startled bird, she backed away in terror.
Seeing her alarm, Mo Zili stopped moving forward and softened his voice, "Don’t be afraid. I’ll never hurt you again. I’m here to tell you that the attack you suffered was almost certainly orchestrated by Lady Du. Rest assured, I will seek justice for you."
