Chapter 384 Before She Died
......
Aoshan.
Hu Qing held the cub, her eyes bruised, clearly indicating she hadn't slept well.
The newborn cubs were incredibly robust, chubby from being fed milk, but after only a year, they started getting sick frequently.
Her voice was hoarse from crying, and she kept vomiting the meat broth. No matter how I tried to comfort her, I couldn't calm her down.
Mu Bai felt extremely distressed.
"How did you suddenly get sick? Has the old doctor in the mountains seen you?"
"I checked, and they said it's nothing," Ye Yu replied, her face also showing concern.
"He keeps vomiting, and you call that nothing wrong?" Ying Ze paced back and forth anxiously. "Have we changed the wet nurse?"
"We've replaced them all already, seven or eight times, and they're still the same." Ying Hua looked at Shao Yi: "Should we send someone to the sacred mountain?"
“Yes, she’s going to the sacred mountain. Her cub is so sick, how can she, as its mother, just ignore it?” Di Xi felt very frustrated. “It’s been a year, and there’s still no news. The rumors have spread everywhere, with all sorts of nasty things being said.”
"Keep your voice down, people will laugh at you." Ying Ze quickly interrupted him, Hu Qing was still there.
"Isn't that the truth?"
Emperor Xi was furious.
"She's the one who seduces and then abandons you!"
"If you ask me, I'd guess she went to see her old flame."
"Saying they'd take us over is just an excuse."
"She's living a carefree life on the sacred mountain, why would she care about the lives of her cubs!"
"Enough!" Shaoyi clenched her fist tightly, her hand hidden in her sleeve. "She's not that kind of person."
"Then tell me, it's been so long and there hasn't been a single letter. What does that mean?" Di Xi retorted sarcastically, "If you ask me, let's not wait anymore. Wait for her to come back in the next life."
boom--
There was a muffled sound.
Shaoyi punched him in the face.
This is the first time such a dignified and upright person has resorted to violence.
Everyone was stunned. When they came to their senses, they quickly pulled the person away.
Shao Yi lifted Di Xi up with one hand, gritting her teeth: "She schemed and plotted for you, and this is how you see her!"
He was almost choked up.
He had witnessed her tireless efforts in the days leading up to her death.
Porcelain for the Tiger Clan, cotton for the Rabbit Clan.
Also, farming, forging, and animal husbandry.
During those days, the bamboo slips she carved day and night were the only thing she could rely on for her cub.
But in their eyes...
She, however, became someone who went to the sacred mountain to live a carefree life, a woman who started a relationship but then abandoned it.
How could he not be angry? How could he not be furious!
However, from the outside, he appeared to be furious, trembling with rage, without giving it much thought.
Ying Ze pulled Di Xi up: "Serves you right for being so foul-mouthed. You got beaten up for it. You deserved it. Why did you have to provoke him?"
Di Xi's mouth was full of blood; he hadn't expected Shao Yi to make a move.
He was a bit thoughtless with his words, but he was just looking for an excuse to go to the sacred mountain. Who knew he would react so strongly?
Mu Bai quickly gave Ying Ze a look, signaling him to take the boy out.
Ying Ze tugged at Di Xi.
Emperor Xi turned and left, refusing to suffer such humiliation.
......
Soon, news of his beating reached Qi Yue's ears.
Bai Sang'er stared in disbelief, speechless: "Lord Di Xi was beaten? Really?"
"Of course it's true. Lady Shaoyi made the move, and we couldn't stop her even if we tried."
The wet nurse, holding the baby, told him everything she had heard.
"Lord Di Xi, you're really something. If the clan leader knew about this, he'd probably be furious."
The clan leader has done so much for the clan. Without the clan leader, where would they be living such a good life today?
That's really disheartening.
Bai Sang'er didn't know what to say. She had heard a lot of rumors outside, even more outrageous ones. And since Lord Di Xi had such a bad temper, he definitely wouldn't tolerate it.
"How badly are you injured?" Qi Yue suddenly asked from the side.
"I don't know about that. I heard his face was covered in blood. Would you like to go and see him, sir?"
Qi Yue thought for a moment and then instructed Bai Sang'er, "Go and pick out a generous gift."
"Yes, my lord."
Bai Sang'er quickly brought the gift over.
However, Qi Yue did not go to the Tiger Clan.
Having known each other for so long, he knew Di Xi well. He was a man who spoke without thinking and had a fiery temper, but he wasn't a bad person at heart. However, since they lived under the same roof, if Di Xi offended someone, it would inevitably cause unpleasantness. He had to do his part to protect him.
When they arrived at Shaoyi's courtyard, the little slave sweeping outside the gate was startled.
"Lord Qiyue."
Lord Qiyue has always lived a secluded life, and since the clan leader went to the sacred mountain, he has only associated with the Tiger Clan. Why is he here now?
The young slave dared not be negligent and quickly and respectfully invited the person inside.
It has to be said that Lord Qiyue's appearance is too outstanding. The clan leader is staying at the sacred mountain and not coming back. Is he really reluctant to leave Lord Qiyue?
He started muttering to himself.
"I will soon reach the summit of Dajing. Once I get to the sacred mountain, I will ask her for clarification."
Yinghua's words came from inside the room.
“You’ve only been in seclusion for a year. If you force yourself to reach the pinnacle of cultivation, your future realm will be unstable, leading to endless troubles.” This was Shao Yi.
“That’s better than nothing.” Yinghua sighed. “It’s been a year. The cubs have grown up. The other day they even asked me what their mother looks like.”
“The cub has grown up and is sensible now, why bother going to the sacred mountain to cause her trouble?”
"How do you say this?"
A moment of silence fell over the room.
Qi Yue knocked on the door at the right moment, interrupting their conversation.
Shaoyi heard the noise and looked towards the door.
The little slave pushed open the door: "My lord, Lord Qiyue has arrived."
Shaoyi stood up and saw that he had brought gifts. She understood the situation perfectly and invited him to sit down.
"Why did you come here? Here, have some tea."
"No trouble."
The little slave had already poured the tea and placed it in front of Qi Yue.
Qi Yue lowered her eyes and looked at the tea.
The tea soup was clear and bright in the porcelain. This porcelain made the Tiger Clan proud for a long time, and several caves were opened. It is said that this was due to her. Before going to the sacred mountain, she had already taught the Tiger Clan the technique of firing porcelain.
Qi Yue picked up her teacup and said casually, "I sent a letter to contact the Yin family."
"what?"
Shao Yi's heart skipped a beat; she didn't understand what he meant.
Seeing his reaction, Qi Yue thought of how he had kept quiet just now, and felt that the tea soup had become unusually bitter.
He was just trying to trick him.
Qi Yue put down her teacup and continued speaking.
"I've contacted the Yin family. Are there some things you, Lord Shaoyi, still going to keep from me?" Qi Yue paused. "Or should we wait for Lord Yinghua to go to the Divine Mountain and bring the message back personally?"
Shaoyi looked back at him, trying hard to see a trace of something in his eyes.
But who is Qi Yue? He sat there upright, his jade-like figure pure and righteous, leaving no room for criticism.
"You already know..."
Shaoyi suddenly felt deflated.
Only now did he truly understand the feelings Mu Bai had back then.
They kept it a secret for a whole year.
He really couldn't hide it anymore.
"You can hate me if you want."
Shao Yi gave a bitter smile, as if she had lost all her strength in an instant.
"Before she died, she repeatedly instructed that the news must be kept a secret."
bang-
The teacup shattered with a sound.
