Chapter 1612: Chapter 1619: A Short Stay at Shen Mansion (4)
Seeing her, Mo Zili very politely nodded and greeted her. Juhua, grateful for the previous incident, returned his gesture in accordance with etiquette and approached, saying a few courtesy remarks like “Are you comfortable staying here? Is there anything you need?”
Mo Zili responded to each one, then fell into an awkward silence with nothing to say. Juhua paused, preparing to bid him farewell, when Mo Zili suddenly asked, “Where is Miss Shen’s girl? Why did you come out alone?”
Juhua honestly replied, “She went out to do something for me and will only return tonight.”
Upon hearing this, Mo Zili suddenly remembered the first time he saw her, and couldn’t help but smile lightly, saying, “Did that girl say she went out to curse for you?”
Juhua’s face turned red, and she was about to deny it, but then thought of Liu Xi’s infuriating face. Her initial shame evaporated, and she angrily said, “That’s right, Xiao Kui went out to curse that damned dead eunuch. You, as the young master of the Mo Family, must know that damned man. When you go back, tell him for me that I, Shen Juhua, won’t let him off!”
She clenched her fist and vehemently condemned him with such an appearance that made Mo Zili feel momentarily dazed, as if seeing another person talking to him, with the same expressions, the same tone, even the face was so similar.
For a moment, he almost pulled her into his embrace and told her how much he regretted, missed, and loved her…
However, fortunately, reason prevailed as he struggled to control his impulses and left hurriedly with a random excuse…
Shen Juhua was in the midst of a vehement rant when she saw Mo Zili suddenly leave as if escaping. Puzzled, she pouted, thinking he disliked her for being vulgar, then indifferently resumed her play…
Time passed like flowing water
In the blink of an eye, it’s already May, and the case of Princess Zhao Yue’s murder remains unsolved; the murderer seems to have vanished without a trace after killing Princess Zhao Yue, leaving no sign of movement. Despite Nangong Yi and Cai Wei’s many attempts to lure him out, all efforts were in vain; the murderer cunningly hid away, and no one knew who he was or where he was.
Without catching the murderer, Cai Wei felt very uneasy, fearing the murderer might hide too deeply and harm her children, so she stayed with her children all day. Even if she had to go out for something, she would bring the children into space with her to avoid giving others an opportunity to exploit.
Now, the children could crawl everywhere, each little tike healthy and lively. Their favorite activity was playing in their Mother’s space.
As the children grew, their personalities became more distinct. The eldest prince, Jin’er, was an arrogant and aloof little fellow. Facing the beauty of the space, he merely frowned and grunted, seemingly finding everything here somewhat acceptable, barely worthy of his notice.
Bright Pearl, on the other hand, was much more adorable. Upon seeing the vibrant flowers, lush trees, crystal-clear stream, and picturesque small bamboo house in space, her big eyes filled with delight, opening her soft pink mouth in shock at the scenery, then giving a big smile and impatiently paddling her chubby limbs, crawling everywhere…
In contrast, Yu’er was much quieter. After entering space, he would eat his hand peacefully, staring with clear big eyes at everything in space, without much change in expression, except when seeing the white-haired tiger, he would show a slight change, taking out his small saliva-covered chubby hand from his mouth, pointing at the white-haired tiger, and among the few syllables he could speak, saying: “Cat—”
