Outside the Duke of Hua Estate.
In the pouring rain, a disheveled youth sat in a corner, allowing the rain to mercilessly wash over his weak body. His already pale face appeared even paler in the rain.
"Get up!" A handsome youth in white landed lightly not far from him, not forgetting to hold an oil-paper umbrella in his hand so that he wouldn't be drenched by the rain. Compared to his clean appearance, the youth looked even more disheveled and disheveled.
Mo Xiuyao laughed coldly, walked over to Feng Zhiyao and squatted down, "What's the matter? You don't want to live anymore? "
"Mind your own business!" Feng Zhiyao impatiently closed his eyes. He was in an extremely bad mood, and even if the person in front of him was his good friend, he didn't want to bother. Mo Xiuyao laughed coldly, "Since you're half dead, why don't you just die? Maybe Sister Hua will shed a tear or two for you when she sees your pitiful state. "
"Mo Xiuyao! Go die! "Feng Zhiyao roared angrily, and pounced towards his bad friend who was squatting in front of him. Right now, he desperately needed to vent. Since someone was asking for a beating, why wouldn't he beat him up? The angry youth was momentarily dizzy, forgetting that the person in front of him wasn't someone he could beat up just because he wanted to.
Sure enough, the moment he moved, Mo Xiuyao, who was squatting in front of him, stood up and retreated a few steps. Feng Zhi Yao immediately pounced on empty air. People in a bad mood often got angry easily. Normally, Feng Zhiyao would have stopped after failing to hit him, but right now, he seemed to be completely focused on Mo Xiuyao. He stood up and swung his fist towards Mo Xiuyao's face. Mo Xiuyao raised his eyebrows. He dodged again, and Feng Zhiyao pounced again. The two of them began to fight in the rain. The only difference was that Feng Zhiyao was not only wet, but also covered in mud, as if he had rolled in a quagmire. On the other hand, Mo Xiuyao's white robes fluttered in the wind. He held an umbrella in one hand. Even though it was raining heavily, not a single drop of rain could be seen on his robes. It was as if he wasn't fighting with someone but taking a leisurely stroll in the spring rain.
When Feng Zhiyao finally ran out of strength, Mo Xiuyao smilingly lifted his leg and kicked him a few feet away. Looking at Feng Zhiyao, who was lying in the muddy water and too lazy to even crawl up, he said, "Tomorrow, this young master is going to go on an expedition to the southern border? Do you want to come along? If you want to go, then get up and follow me. If you want to die, then continue to lie down. "After saying that, he didn't care whether Feng Zhiyao could get up or not. He turned around and left.
On the muddy ground, Feng Zhiyao crawled on the ground, letting the rain hit his pale and handsome face. After a long time, he slowly crawled up. Looking back at a certain place in Hua Manor that was still lit in the night, he turned around and walked in the direction Mo Xiuyao had left.
Seventeen years later.
In a small manor outside Glass City, Hua Yunxi sat alone by the window, looking at the flowers outside in a daze. Although she was already over thirty years old, the years didn't leave too many traces on her beautiful face. On the contrary, the aura of an aristocratic family and the fact that she was once the mother of a nation made her more noble than ordinary women.
"Mother!"
Mo Wuyou pushed open the door and came in with a smile. Hua Yunxi quickly got up and pulled her daughter, softly saying, "Why did you come out of the city? You're pregnant, so why don't you stay here. " Mo Wuyou acted spoiled and leaned against her mother, saying, "Wuyou is pregnant, but mother still isn't willing to stay in the city to take care of daughter, so daughter had to come out."
"Nonsense." Hua Yunxi helplessly poked her daughter's forehead and said with a smile, "Your mother-in-law is taking good care of you, why do you still need me? You're also a sensible child. Xu family's First Madam is a rare mother-in-law, so what nonsense are you talking about? "
Mo Wuyou stuck out her tongue. Of course, she wasn't dissatisfied with her mother-in-law, she just wanted to make a fuss with her mother. Looking at her mother, Mo Wuyou's eyes turned and said, "That's right, mother, I just saw Uncle Feng San outside, why didn't he come in?"
Hearing this, Hua Yunxi was stunned and said, "He's not busy, he'll naturally leave in a while."
Mo Wuyou smiled with some suspicion. These past few years, she had seen Feng Zhiyao's every move. As a daughter, it would be a lie to say that she really wanted her mother to find her a stepfather. But Mo Wuyou also knew the hardships and grievances her mother had suffered these past few years, as well as Feng Zhiyao's infatuation. If Feng Zhiyao hadn't stubbornly taken her mother out of the palace, her mother would have died long ago.
Feng Zhiyao had long passed the age of thirty, but he still insisted on going against Feng Zhihuai's wishes and refused to get married. He was even more concerned about her mother's well-being. To say something a little insatiable, even Xu Qingbai wasn't so attentive to her. Her mother was only in her thirties now, her life was still very young. If possible, Mo Wuyou naturally hoped that her mother could live happily in the latter half of her life.
"Mother, why don't you let Uncle Feng San come in, we can have a good talk. Wuyou, looking at his appearance, I'm afraid he won't leave easily. "Mo Wuyou softly advised.
Hua Yunxi sighed bitterly. How could she not understand Feng Zhiyao's feelings after all these years? But understanding was one thing, the reality was that he was one of the most trusted aides in the Prince Ding Mansion, with a high position and boundless future. And she was the widow of the previous Emperor. Even if she changed her name now, how could she really deceive the world? If they got together, it would not only ruin Feng Zhiyao's reputation, but also Mo Wuyou, the Xu family, and even the Prince Ding Mansion's reputation.
How could Mo Wuyou not see Hua Yunxi's concerns, but she didn't know how to persuade her mother. Prince Ding and the Princess Consort didn't care about this, and neither did the Xu family. But no matter how she persuaded her mother, she still couldn't let it go.
"Since mother doesn't want to see Uncle Feng San, Wuyou will send him away."
Hua Yunxi didn't comment. Mo Wuyou shook her head regretfully and turned to leave.
"Uncle Feng San." Outside the door, a handsome man dressed in red was anxiously circling the courtyard. When he heard Mo Wuyou's voice, he turned around in surprise, but when he didn't see the figure he wanted to see, his eyes dimmed.
"She still doesn't want to see me?" Feng Zhiyao asked in a low voice. Although he had long passed his prime, the red-clothed Young Master Feng San was still extraordinarily handsome. After experiencing the tempering of countless wars, he even had a bit of sharpness and calmness. The current Young Master Feng San was no longer the useless hedonistic son of the Chu capital back then. He had already achieved success and fame, but he still couldn't get what he wanted most. Ever since Mo Wuyou got married, Hua Yunxi moved out of Glass City and lived in a courtyard at the foot of a mountain not far from Lishan Academy. Since then, she seemed to have retreated from the world and didn't leave the house. Recently, she didn't even want to see him.
Mo Wuyou shook her head apologetically. She looked at Feng Zhiyao with pity. She knew her mother's personality very well. Once she made up her mind, it was hard to change it.
