Chapter 1151 Mo Zili's Concerns (1)
The morning sun shone warmly into the inner room, shining on Xiangyun's pale and thin face.
When Mo Zili's eyes swam across her face, he was stunned for a moment, and stayed on her sleeping face, without moving his eyes away for a long time.
He had known Xiangyun since he was a child, and he could be considered a childhood sweetheart. In his impression, she had always been a lively girl with baby fat and rosy face. When did she become so thin and pale? And her sleeping face, although quiet like a child, but those two beautiful eyebrows were frowned together...
It can be seen that she is not living well and is unhappy. She is pale and thin, and her pointed jaw is exposed. Even when she is asleep, she frowns, and looks like she is worried...
Mo Zili felt guilty. He knew why she was like this.
However, knowing that he was sorry for her, he could only give her the status of a wife and a child to compensate her. Apart from that, he could do nothing.
The descendants of the Mo family are all upright people, and he is no exception. The reason why he did not oppose marrying her before was because he had never loved any woman. Xiangyun was someone he had known since childhood. The family backgrounds and ages of the two families were very similar, so his parents decided on his marriage.
Originally, he thought that this was how life was, marrying a wife and having children step by step, and living a life in accordance with the rules.
Until a few months ago.
He went to Taohua Temple for a spring outing, and accidentally saw a clean face under a blooming peach tree. The owner of the face was only thirteen or fourteen years old, with two thin eyebrows like willow leaves, a pair of eyes that seemed to be happy but not happy, a look of sorrow on both cheeks, a delicate body of illness, quiet like a delicate flower reflecting on the water, and moving like a willow in the wind. She was really a jade-like beauty!
She wore a plain and elegant water-blue woven jacket and a sky-blue flowered skirt. She was graceful and elegant, standing alone under a pink and white peach tree, like a fairy, and immediately caught his attention.
For the first time, he asked others about the woman's identity and learned that she was the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion.
The Duke of Anguo's Mansion had a bad reputation and was always despised by the dignitaries in the capital. The girls in the Duke of Anguo's Mansion were used for marriage to consolidate the shaky status of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion. Hearing this, he felt a little sorry. Such an elegant and indifferent girl, who knew what kind of family she would end up in the future!
Later, he always tried to find out about the woman, because the pretty figure in Taohua Temple did not blur or disappear due to the passage of time, but became clearer and clearer. Later, the Duke of Liguo's Mansion was confined. During the months of confinement, he often thought of the figure of a lotus emerging from the water and isolated from the world. At that time, he had already decided that when the mansion was lifted, he would report to his grandparents and cancel the marriage arranged with the Marquis of Jian'an Mansion, and then go to the Duke of Liguo's Mansion to propose marriage and marry her.
Unfortunately, man's plans are not as good as God's plans. When the Duke of Liguo's Mansion was lifted, she had already married. It was said that she married Jin Dapeng, who was already inhumane, on behalf of her cousin who escaped from marriage. Subsequently, the Duke of Anguo's Mansion and the Marquis of Wuchang's Mansion were confiscated, and the women were imprisoned and demoted to slavery.
He redeemed her without thinking and placed her in a delicate little house in Liutiao Lane.
At this moment, she was no longer the daughter of the Duke of Anguo, but the daughter of a criminal. She was a slave, and marrying her was impossible.
So, he married Xiangyun as promised, giving her a name and enough respect, but his love would be reserved for the woman he loved.
