Chapter 1308 - 1315: Body Examination (5)
Moreover, he needed a stable woman to come forward to confirm Xiang Yun’s innocence. Only by proving her innocence could he somewhat alleviate the fullness of resentment from his grandmother and mother, and stop them from paying attention to those rumors.
Of course, if the result of this matter were otherwise, although he would be disappointed and furious to the point of madness, he still could not bear to truly let her die or lead a life as an ancient Buddha with a green lantern. He would find a place to hide her, where no one, including that damned Situ, could find her. Only he would know where she was. She would still be his woman, in this lifetime, whether she was willing or not!
In the room, Xiang Yun’s crying gradually became hoarse and weak. She seemed to have exhausted all her strength and was finally subdued by several sturdy maids who successfully examined her body.

"You have no idea how nasty the rumors outside are. The Old Madame and my wife have both had thoughts of deposing you. Only by proving your innocence can we cut off their thoughts of deposing you..."
"Rest assured, as long as you don’t have any dealings with that shopkeeper Situ in the future, you will still be my wife, Mo Zili, the Young Madam of Duke Li Guo’s Mansion. Now, get up. Let’s return to the Mansion together. With that stable woman’s testimony, I expect the Old Madame and my wife will no longer make things difficult for you..."
