Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress-Chapter 1291 - 1297: Found Him (5)

"How about it, what kind of jewelry does she really like? Is it possible to produce another set?"

Cheng Cai said, "The shopkeeper said that before Young Madam got married, she took a fancy to a set of Amethyst Jade Head Face in their shop, which was the precious treasure of the Zhenbao Pavilion. Unfortunately, the jewelry was too expensive, and Young Madam didn’t have enough silver, so she didn’t buy it."

Mo Zili, with his head half-bowed, his hands resting on his knees, couldn’t help but grip tightly, swept by a wave of guilt, consumed with regret.

It turned out that what she had set her heart on was also that set of Amethyst Jade, but, to think, he had bought that very set and given it to another woman. When she saw that set worn by Du Wanqing, she must have been very upset, no? No wonder she got so angry seeing the pearl headdress he had bought. freewebnoveℓ.com

Mo Zili, you’re really an asshole!

He fell silent for a while, then said hoarsely, "Did you ask if another set of the purple jade jewelry could still be custom-made?"

Cheng Cai replied, "Young Master, the shopkeeper said, purple jade is hard to come by, and the head face like the one Young Madam fancied is a fine item that is priceless and irreplaceable. Once sold, there is no replacing it; even with silver, there’s nowhere to buy it now!"

"I understand... you may leave..."

Mo Zili waved his hand, signaling Cheng Cai to go out.

At mealtime, Xiang Yun didn’t come out, only sending Cui Lu to tell Mo Zili that she felt uncomfortable and didn’t want to eat that night. Mo Zili knew she just didn’t want to see him and didn’t insist. He told Cui Lu to take a bit of every dish to the room for Xiang Yun to eat.

Of course, Xiang Yun was not really feeling unwell; she’d rather go hungry than see him. She hadn’t eaten in the morning, and when visiting the Mu Family at noon, she didn’t eat her fill; she was now so hungry she could feel her front sticking to her back. Seeing the meals Cui Lu brought back for her, she hurriedly gobbled them down.

She ate swiftly, her hands moving back and forth like the wind sweeping through leaves, quickly cleaning out all the dishes Cui Lu had brought back.

The little girl came in to clear the bowls and plates, and after she finished and left, Mo Zili was still eating leisurely. Seeing the empty dishes that Xiang Yun had cleaned out, he couldn’t help but shake his head with a sense of resignation.

This girl, rather than see him, would prefer to hide in her room and starve. What should he do?

After dinner, fearing that Mo Zili would come to pester her, Xiang Yun lay down before nightfall. Mo Zili, hearing from the girl that she had already gone to sleep, naturally understood what was going on. After a bout of irritation, he also reluctantly went back to sleep.

The night passed without a word.

The next day,

Xiang Yun got up very early and, for a change, took the initiative to look for Mo Zili.

At that time, Mo Zili had just risen, wearing a set of white middle clothes, sitting at the table reading a book. Seeing Xiang Yun come to him on her initiative, he was naturally pleased.

"Xiang Yun, why have you come?"

Xiang Yun stood at the entrance, trying to use a calm tone, "I’ve come to discuss something with you. I need to go to town today, and I want to go alone; I don’t want you to follow me."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Mo Zili’s face turned cold, his eyebrows bristling with gloom. Xiang Yun saw this and hurriedly said, "The village roads are rough, and your body has not yet recovered. If it gets worse because of my moving around, Grandmother and Mother would blame me."

Hearing her explanation, Mo Zili’s expression softened a lot. He put down the book, stood up, and walked slowly around the table to Xiang Yun, looking down at her quietly without saying a word.

Xiang Yun felt unnerved under his gaze and took a step back, nervously asking, "Why... are you looking at me like that?"

Mo Zili said, "Even though your reason isn’t true, I’m still happy you took the initiative to come to me. It’s fine if you don’t want me to follow you, but the people you bring must be arranged by me."
