Chapter 1334 - 1341: Choosing a Consort for the Crown Prince of Qing Luo Kingdom (3)
"When Marquis returns, we will go, and if Marquis does not agree, we will kneel in the Courtyard and not get up."
"Just so, there’s no reason to ruin so many Daughters for a Worn-out Shoe!"
Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, discussing fervently, when suddenly someone outside reported, saying Young Master Li from Duke Li Guo’s Mansion wished to see all the Concubines.
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. What business did Young Master Li have, wanting to see them out of the blue? This... was not according to the rules!
Women of major Families should not easily meet Outside Men, to say nothing of the fact that Xiang Yun had already divorced Mo Zili. Even if they hadn’t divorced, there was no reason for a Son-In-Law to meet his Father-in-law’s Concubines.
Aunt Hua asked the Maid who brought the news, "What exactly did he say?"
The Maid said, "Young Master Li only said he needed to inform all the Concubines about a matter of life and death concerning the Concubines and their Family members, asking them not to decline."
With the matter presented so gravely, and knowing the Power of Duke Li Guo’s Mansion, they dared not refuse to meet him.
Aunt Hua commanded people to place the large Flower Bird Screen right at the center of the Flower Hall, dividing it into two, having the Concubines and the other Concubines inside while letting Mo Zili stay outside the screen. This way, they could talk without seeing each other.
Mo Zili, at the Flower Hall outside the Flower Bird Screen, did not perform any courtesy but said coldly, "I am not here today for any other reason. I heard that Xiang Yun has been ostracized and slandered at her Parents’ house, which distressed her and caused her to be severely ill. Since the incident has passed, I will not pursue this matter further. However, if anyone dares to harm her covertly again, I will not stand idly by. The consequences will definitely not be something she can bear!"
The tone of this last sentence turned very foreboding.
