Chapter 1742: Chapter 1735: He Accompanies Her

After all, he was a scholar; his martial arts were lacking, so he had to trouble Mo Qi to make more trips.

However, today when he returned, Yun Sijin still did not open the door for him.

Until he leaned against the window and said, "Madam, I found Yang Xianhui. Please allow your husband to come in and tell you all about it?"

"Creak—"

The door opened.

Zhuo Junli smiled secretly, lifted his head, and boldly stepped inside.

On Leng Muling’s end, Mo Qi was also telling her about Yang Xianhui.

"She was swept downstream and was rescued by someone in the flood-stricken village. She was quite clever, discarded her armor, and stayed hidden in a villager’s home to recuperate, never revealing her identity. This allowed me to find her and bring her back safely."

Mo Qi sat opposite Leng Muling, recounting calmly.

Leng Muling’s five slender fingers tightly gripped the embroidered pillow, "If not for her wit, wouldn’t she have fallen victim to foul play?"

Both Mo Qi and her uncle were secretly searching for Yang Xianhui’s whereabouts.

They even deployed disguised Imperial Guards to locate Yang Xianhui, and Mo Qi mentioned encountering assassins along the way who intended to kill her.

"Did you find out who those would-be assassins were?" Leng Muling’s heart was tense.

Yang Xianhui was a female general, admired and revered by many women.

Mo Qi nodded, "After I sent Yang Xianhui back to the Yang Mansion, I tracked those assassins. Some were dispatched by officials opposing women generals and the reforms,

while another group was sent by the Dali Temple Minister’s Mansion."

"Dali Temple Minister?"

Leng Muling’s eyes flickered as she recalled, "Isn’t the young master who broke off the engagement with Yang Xianhui from the Dali Temple Minister’s family?"

Mo Qi continued to nod, "Indeed."

Leng Muling sat up abruptly, furious, "How outrageous! They’ve already humiliated General Yang by breaking off the engagement, and now they want to kill her! What exactly are they up to?"

Mo Qi gently supported her shoulder, "Don’t get worked up; you still have an injury on your head. It’s not hard to understand why they did this. The engagement annulment by the Dali Temple Minister was never honorable. Yang Xianhui is talented in both literature and martial arts and has a bright future as an outstanding female general;

the young master of the Dali Temple Minister’s family is mediocre and can’t endure others’ criticism.

Moreover, the Dali Temple Minister belongs to Lu Mian’s faction, who oppose female generals and the reforms."

It would naturally benefit them to want Yang Xianhui dead.

Leng Muling: "I heard that the young master of the Dali Temple Minister’s family and General Yang grew up together, betrothed since childhood. And now, just because General Yang is more exceptional, they annul the engagement and even want her dead...

What a cowardly and disgraceful man!"

Yang Xianhui was truly blind to be with such a person!

Mo Qi, with more insight than Leng Muling, while sighing over such matters, did not get as agitated as her.

He just remarked, "There are many unfaithful people in the world, countless to be angry with, and am I not one too?"

He too had wronged Leng Muling.

Leng Muling instinctively uttered, "You aren’t..."

She intended to say, perhaps he was not.

But when he left her and was with Hong Lian, she was truly furious.

She waited so long for him in Jiang Du City!

Leng Muling sighed and turned to sleep.

She couldn’t justify Mo Qi’s actions. Even though the current feelings were genuine, so was the past betrayal.

And Mo Qi was always one to admit his wrongs. When he made a mistake, it was a mistake.

The letter for Ling’er she had seen. Not forgiving or waiting for him.

These were things beyond reproach.
