Chapter 1311 - 1318: Divorce (3)
Fuming as he scolded Mo Zili, a maid from outside reported, saying someone from the palace had arrived, summoning the Grandfather and the Second Old Master to enter the palace.
Mo Zili’s father, Mo Qingshan, was in poor health and thus had not taken any official positions. Usually, matters from the palace would call upon either the Grand Old Master or the eldest son, Mo Zijing, with the Second Old Master rarely summoned specifically. Now, setting aside the Grand Old Master and the eldest son, to urgently summon the Second Old Master indicated some pressing matters.
Upon hearing this, the Grandmother sighed and said, "It must be the Marquis of Jian’an causing trouble again, and it has reached the palace. Ah, this feud, ever since they got married, they’ve never had a moment’s peace. I fear it’s going to escalate!"
Mo Zili stiffened upon hearing this and said, "Grandmother, what do you mean by that? I’m confused, please clarify."
Lady Bai responded, "What the Grandmother means is, your marriage with Xiang Yun has come to an end. The Marquis of Jian’an must have gone to the palace to ask the Emperor to permit your divorce."
"I will not divorce!"
Mo Zili decisively declared, stood up, and ignoring the surprised expressions of the Grandmother, the Doctor’s wife, and the Second Lady, he quickly walked outside.
When he reached his grandfather’s study, the old servant, Liu Zhong, informed him that the Duke of the Country had already taken the Second Old Master to the palace.
Upon hearing this, Mo Zili turned and headed for the stables. He needed to find a way to catch up with his grandfather quickly. If he was late and the Emperor granted the divorce after they entered the palace, he would truly have no chance left.
When he arrived at the stables, he coincidentally saw Mo Ziqi’s horse carriage already harnessed and being driven out by the coachman.
Mo Zili stopped the carriage, climbed aboard, and said to Mo Ziqi, who was sitting inside, "Fourth Brother, I have an urgent matter and would like to borrow your carriage."
