Chapter 1739: Chapter 1732 People Are All Pretentious
"Me? Impossible!"
Mo Qi immediately refused, "She is already married to Lu Mian, how could I protect her anymore? If discovered, her reputation would be ruined for life!"
"Are you concerned about her reputation, or afraid that if discovered, your own reputation would be destroyed?" Zhuo Junli raised an eyebrow and laughed mockingly.
Mo Qiâs face turned pale, and he quickly said, "What does my reputation matter? I havenât married, I have only an illegitimate son, and he will have his own future!
But Lingâer is different; she has already been scorned by the people of Jiang Du City because of me. If she gets implicated again, how could I help her?"
"If she gets implicated again, wonât you just marry her? Anyway, as long as Lingâer has someone to rely on for life, itâs not difficult for our Prime Ministerâs Estate to support her for a lifetime." Zhuo Junli, half-jokingly, yet his words made Mo Qi very tempted.
He knew well that he shouldnât see her anymore. She is already someone elseâs wife, and he couldnât harm her again!
But Zhuo Junli provoked him at the edge of reason, saying, "If you donât go, even as the Prime Minister, I cannot forcefully enter Lu Mianâs estate. Otherwise, I would have to resign, and Lingâer would have no one to support her anymore,
her father, my brother, is not a reliable person. Without me, the Leng Family wouldnât be able to sustain itself."
"No! Prime Minister Zhuo must maintain his position in the royal court!"
Mo Qi walked towards Yun Sijin, "Madam, please give me the medicine. I will visit Lingâer every night."
Yun Sijin glanced at Zhuo Junli, who stood behind Mo Qi, smiling like a fox who had succeeded in its cunning plan.
Yun Sijin lowered her eyes and gathered some items for a young woman along with the medicine for Leng Muling.
After Mo Qi left, Zhuo Junli shook his fan and burst into laughter, "What a fool! A pair of pining lovers, isnât that exactly what they are!"
Reluctant in his heart, yet bound by ethics and morals, he could only endure his longing.
But Zhuo Junli was the one who couldnât stand morality and ethics, he loved seeing them broken, torn apart, like a rag trampled earnestly on the ground.
"How long will you toy with them? You deliberately sent Lingâer to the Leng Family back then! Do you really have a plan?"
Yun Sijin didnât stop him from sending Leng Muling to marry into the Lu Family at that time.
But now it seems, she finds Zhuo Junli to be somewhat crazy.
Doesnât seem like someone guiding the country in the royal court?
More like a madman who enjoys watching pining lovers!
Zhuo Junli turned around and wrapped his arm around Yun Sijinâs waist, insisting on taking her to the pavilion to watch the night scene.
He pointed at the vast starry sky, laughed deeply, and said, "Madam, look, day and night, everything has a process, every hardship has an end!
But people are cheap creatures! They fuss and bicker, pondering your feelings and my intentions, who exactly gave more?
If you donât temper them, how would you know the value of true affection?
Lingâer and Mo Qi are like this, and that wretch Lu Mian is the same! They all need a game called âAwakeningâ."
Yun Sijin gazed at Zhuo Junli, feeling that tonight he seemed drunk, talking fancifully, nebulously.
But she knew that he rarely drank, he looked down on alcohol.
Or in other words, he hated things that could numb oneâs nerves.
Because Zhuo Junli was always clear-headed.
Even in how he obtained her, every step he took was calculated, laid out clearly before her.
