Chapter 1725: Chapter 1732: Mo Zili Confesses (2)
Liu Xi looked at Juhua, who was being pulled up into the horse carriage by Mo Shuya, then looked at Mo Zili, whose eyes were fixed on Juhua, and understood everything.
His mouth gradually ford an “O” shape in surprise; could Mo Zili be interested in Juhua? The deep emotions in his eyes were too obvious for even a blind person to miss!
Mo Shuya’s girl also took the opportunity to grab Xiao Kui, and intimately said: “Sister Xiao Kui, let’s sit in the back carriage, so we don’t disturb the young ladies talking about personal matters.”
Juhua was muddled as she was pulled into the horse carriage. After sitting, she belatedly realized that it was inappropriate, and said: “I rember now, my mother told not to associate with Mo Zili, saying it’s best to avoid suspicion. I should get down!”
Mo Shuya heard this, tapped the veil on her head, and laughed: “With this on, who can tell who you are? Is there still any need to avoid? My Third Uncle did save your life after all, and you haven’t formally thanked him yet. We agreed to eat together now, and you want to leave him hanging? Juhua, you are too untrustworthy!”
Juhua felt guilty as what she said made sense. Mo Zili had risked his life to save her, and she still hadn’t formally thanked him. It was a good opportunity to thank him in person during the al today, and perhaps also ask him about weight loss thods.
Thinking about this, she readily said: “Alright, let’s go. Anyway, with the veil on, others can’t recognize . Today I will host; when it’s ti to pay the bill, you’re not allowed to fight with !”
Mo Shuya laughed and said: “Rest assured, today I intend to eat a good al; I must eat you broke!”
In fact, today Mo Shuya had received a commission from Mo Zili, deliberately inviting Juhua out. Since coming back, Mo Zili had been trapped at ho by his parents for recuperation, not allowed out for several months even though he felt his body was unimpeded. The court judge Yao Yuanpan never declared him fully well, and even exaggerated, saying he had developed a chronic illness that would take a year or longer to recuperate from.
Mo Zili gradually realized sothing was amiss. His subordinates, capable people, easily found out the reason.
It turned out, the family kept him at ho because Shen Juhua was engaged. His grandmother and parents feared that he would be emotionally affected and do sothing extre, so they wouldn’t let him go out or tell him the truth.
Honestly, upon learning that Shen Juhua was engaged, his heart did indeed ache. Although it wasn’t as piercing as when Xiang Yun got married, it was still quite distressing. However, when he heard that Juhua’s fiancé was just a matrilocal little shopkeeper, all unease and pain imdiately dissipated.
In the Great Jin Nation, under normal circumstances, n would not easily marry into a woman’s family. Once doing so, it’s akin to abandoning one’s ancestors, a behavior despised by gentlen. Therefore, a man of integrity would rather starve than marry into a woman’s family.
That Li Sheng was of scholar origin and was intent on pursuing a scholarly honor in the future, yet he still unhesitatingly married into the family. It proved he was a man without integrity and courage. Such a man was not deserving of Juhua. The reason Juhua accepted this marital affair wasn’t out of fondness for that poor scholar but to provide for her parents in their old age. Hence, she reluctantly agreed, making Li Sheng no threat.
At this mont, he sent people to investigate the recent movents of the Shen family. During the investigation, he inadvertently discovered that his niece, Mo Shuya, had been closely associating with Shen Juhua. He then persuaded Shuya to help him et with Juhua, wanting to clarify his feelings for her in person to avoid losing her.
