Ye Zhen came out of the water and looked at the familiar scenery with red eyes. It was still the same as she remembered when she was a child. She remembered that when she was five years old, she felt very wronged because she was hated and neglected by her mother, but she did not dare to cry at home for fear that her mother would hate her even more.
Her father brought her here. He taught her how to swim, let her cry out here, and then softly told her that it was not that her mother did not love her, but that the knot in her heart had not been untied. In fact, her mother loved her very much.
At that time, she was here, sobbing loudly, crying away all her grievances. When she returned, her face was already full of smiles.
Now, she still wanted to cry, and then a pair of warm hands would take her home.
But, there was no more.
Surrounded by mist, Ye Zhen looked forward through the dense fog. A round of moonlight hung high on the top of the mountain, illuminating the surrounding clouds like splashed ink. The thick clouds were as heavy as the Elephant Mountain, and the distant mountains were as light as the clouds. It was impossible to distinguish between the clouds and the mountains at the same time.
Ye Zhen covered her face with her hands and wept bitterly.
Dad, I'm in so much pain, so hard, where are you?
She was wrong, she knew she was wrong. She should not have married Mo Rongzhan for her own desire. She should not have abandoned her love for him. But, it was too late.
She didn't even know how to avenge herself. With her identity as nothing now, who could she make pay for the death of her father and brother?
Ye Zhen cried for a long time. In the past, after she cried, the grievances in her heart would disappear, but now, why could the hatred and sadness in her heart not be alleviated?
She raised her head and looked at the still bright moonlight. She spread her arms and swam back and forth in the hot spring pool.
Immersed in her own grief, Ye Zhen did not notice that in the woods on the other side of the pool, a tall figure stood, staring at her with deep and bright eyes.
Mo Rongzhan didn't expect that he would meet such a beautiful woman in this mountain on a whim. Although it was night time, the moonlight was bright and he was a martial artist. His eyes could see further and clearer than ordinary people. He was originally soaking in the water in another pool and came over when he heard the sound of a woman crying.
Who is this woman? Could it be that an official who wanted to curry favor with him had arranged it here?
Mo Rongzhan's gaze darkened as he stared coldly at the girl who was swimming back and forth in the water like a mermaid. If she had any ulterior motives and wanted to seduce him, then this move would be interesting. Unfortunately, he was not a person who knew how to have tender and protective feelings for the fairer sex. So what if she pretended to be weak and cry in front of him?
Suddenly, the woman in the water stopped swimming. She sat on the stone slab in the middle of the pool and seemed to be a little tired as she gasped for breath. She turned to face him and he could clearly see her round breasts that were wrapped in her dudou moving up and down as she gasped for breath. What made him stunned was her skin that was as smooth as jade. Under the moonlight, she looked like a seductress.
There was a demoness who was beautiful. Her face was as red as a blooming lotus, and her skin was as white as cream. She was graceful and elegant. She was graceful and unrestrained.
Such a scene appeared in Mo Rongzhan's mind. His breathing became a little heavy, and his feet walked over uncontrollably.
Ye Zhen was a little exhausted. She sat on the stone slab and wanted to rest for a while. After swimming for so long, her mood had calmed down, and the anger and sadness in her heart had been suppressed. Now she just wanted to go back and sleep. Tomorrow, she would be strong again.
Suddenly, she seemed to hear a subtle sound. Ye Zhen looked around doubtfully. When she turned her head, she was stunned.
She didn't know when a man in a black robe with golden rims stood beside the hot spring pool. The wide robe was loosely draped over his body, and the belt was only tied casually, revealing his strong chest.
Mo Rongzhan? Ye Zhen looked at him in a daze. How could he be here?
Just as Ye Zhen was stunned, Mo Rongzhan had strode into the pool, and the sound of him entering the water finally awakened Ye Zhen.
She jumped into the water like a mermaid and quickly left the place. She couldn't meet Mo Rongzhan in such a situation, absolutely not!
Just as she was about to swim to the wooden wall, a large hand grabbed her foot and forcefully dragged her back.
Without thinking about it, Ye Zhen kicked him hard with her other foot that was not locked.
She heard Mo Rongzhan let out a muffled groan and the big hand released her foot. She immediately dived into the water, swam over the wooden wall, and called Dai Mei in in panic.
Mo Rongzhan covered his bleeding nose with one hand and looked at the wooden wall in front of him with a gloomy look. This was the first time a woman dared to kick him.
This woman was not arranged by someone to serve him. Who was she?
He stared at her for a while before leaving the hot spring pool with a cold face. Shortly after he walked out of the woods, he saw Ford rushing over with his clothes in his hand.
Mo Rongzhan changed his wet robe and returned to Chengde Villa. Tang Zhen and Lu Lingzhi, who came with him to hunt, were already waiting for him in the hall. When they saw him return, they hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
"Get up!" Mo Rongzhan's voice was cold, and his eyes were even more deep and indifferent.
Lu Lingzhi and Tang Zhen exchanged a look. It seemed that the emperor was not in a good mood.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Tang Zhen looked up and saw Mo Rongzhan's nose was a little red. He couldn't help but ask in surprise.
Mo Rongzhan knew what Tang Zhen was wondering about. His eyes became colder. "I'm fine. I just went out to soak in the hot spring."
Tang Zhen said with a smile, "This is the best time to soak in the hot spring. Tomorrow, when we come back from hunting, we can also soak in the hot spring."
What if he met that woman again? Mo Rongzhan thought to himself that if he saw that woman again, he would not let her go.
"Is there anyone's manor nearby?" Mo Rongzhan asked faintly.
Lu Lingzhi said with a smile, "Your Majesty, the manor you once gave to this official is nearby."
Mo Rongzhan's eyes darkened slightly. Was that woman from the Lu family? Did she really not appear in front of him on purpose? He touched his nose. It seemed that it should not be. If it was intentional, would she dare to kick him?
Did she think of him as a lecher?
"Just now, a guard came to report that there were people from the city living in the manor. It seems that it should be Lord Lu's family." Fu De said to Mo Rongzhan with a smile.
Lu Lingzhi was stunned. He had not returned to the Lu family for two days. He did not know that Lu Shiming had brought Ye Zhen and the others to the manor.
Tang Zhen's eyes lit up. "Is it possible that your third sister is here?"
Mo Rongzhan looked at Tang Zhen faintly, showing an unprecedented look of excitement. "Yan Zhi's third sister, the one who came from the border town and won your silver whip?"
"Your Majesty, it's her. Don't look at her small stature. She is not inferior to men in hunting." Tang Zhen replied with a smile.
Lu Lingzhi felt inexplicably nervous and flustered. He didn't want Mo Rongzhan to see Yao Yao at all.
