Chapter 1414 - 1421 Bestowed Marriage (2)
Lady Wu removed her cloak and handed it to the maid, then sat down on Old Madame’s chair and sighed, "It’s no use, Yun’er has decided to marry the Prince of Qing Luo Kingdom. My brother reported this to the Emperor in court today, and I’m afraid it’s irrevocable. Mother, we should find another marital match for Zili!"
"Ah! How difficult it is!"
Old Madame sighed deeply and said, "Zili has been stubborn since he was a child, never turning back once he’s set on something. Unless he finds out Yun’er is unworthy like Du Wanqing, he’ll never move past this in his life..."
Lady Bai said nothing, but she agreed with Old Madame, covering her mouth with a handkerchief and silently began to cry. Lady Yang gently comforted her on the side.
Mo Shuya thought these topics were not suitable for girls to hear, so she took her younger sisters and left. When they reached the entrance, they happened to meet Mo Ziqi coming in to pay respects to Old Madame. Mo Shuya hurriedly stopped him and said, "Uncle Zi Qi, please marry Auntie Fei’er soon."
Mo Ziqi replied indifferently, "Why say this?"
Mo Shuya licked her lips and whispered, "Aunt Xiang Yun was taken away by someone else. Auntie Fei’er is so much prettier than Auntie Xiang Yun; what if she is taken away too?"
Mo Ziqi looked at Mo Shuya, who still had a childish expression, and slightly curled his lips, saying enigmatically, "What’s yours cannot be taken away by others, and what can be taken away by others was never yours to begin with." After saying that, he went inside.
Mo Shuwen, who had just turned nine, didn’t quite understand her uncle’s words and tugged at her older sister’s sleeve, curiously asking, "What did uncle mean by that?"
Mo Shuya pursed her lips, "Who knows? He’s just trying to act profound because he thinks we’re children and won’t understand, hmph!"
