Chapter 152 Taboos of Duanmu Mansion
At this time in the Duanmu Mansion, in Xing Xuanli's courtyard, Fourth Miss, the master asked you to go to the main hall.
Xing Xuanli frowned slightly, put down the scroll in his hand, and asked, "Do you know what this is about?"
The maid who came to deliver the message lowered her head and replied, "I don't know."
Xing Xuanli stood up, straightened her skirt, and said, "Let's go."
Along the way, Xing Xuanli secretly wondered in her heart, why did Duanmu Jin suddenly ask her to go to the main hall?
Along the way, Xing Xuanli secretly wondered in her heart, why did Duanmu Jin suddenly ask her to go to the main hall?
When I stepped into the main hall, I saw Duanmu Jin sitting in the main seat with a gloomy face.
Regardless of how grim Duanmu Jin's expression was, Xing Xuanli walked straight into the hall, sat on the armchair, picked up the teacup on the coffee table, took a sip, and said leisurely, "I heard that Patriarch Duanmu was looking for me? What's the matter? Are you willing to tell me about my mother?"
Duanmu Jin glared at him: "How dare you! What's your attitude?"
Xing Xuanli sneered: "My attitude? What do you think I should do, father? If I beg you desperately, will you tell me?"
Duanmu Jin's fingers trembled with anger: "You rebellious girl, you are simply lawless!"
Xing Xuanli stood up and looked directly at Duanmu Jin: "Father, if you don't explain clearly what happened to my mother today, I will never let you go!"
Duanmu Jin shouted angrily, "Your mother's affairs are taboos in the Duanmu Mansion. Don't mention it again!"
Xing Xuanli sneered: "Taboo? Humph, father, this so-called taboo is nothing more than an excuse for you to cover up certain truths!"
Duanmu Jin's face turned pale: "Shut up! You ignorant girl!"
Xing Xuanli refused to back down. "I won't shut up! Do you think this will make me give up on searching for my mother? Why did my mother die? You must give me an explanation today!"
Duanmu Jin was so angry that he was shaking all over: "You, you are going to piss me off to death!"
Xing Xuanli asked loudly, "And where is my mother buried? And why is there no tablet for my mother in the Duanmu Ancestral Hall?"
Duanmu Jin's eyes were evasive, and his words were evasive: "This... this is not something you should ask!"
Xing Xuanli stared at him closely, pressing him step by step: "Father, what are you hiding? Is there some unspeakable secret here?"
Duanmu Jin was furious: "How dare you! If you continue to be so rude, don't blame me for being rude!"
Xing Xuanli smiled sadly: "You're welcome? Father, when have you ever been polite to me? I just want to know the truth about my mother, is that too much?"
Xing Xuanli said coldly, "Since you are unwilling to tell me about my mother's affairs, then I will take my leave."
After saying that, she turned and walked away with firm steps, without the slightest hesitation.
Duanmu Jin shouted behind her, "Stop right there!"
Xing Xuanli pretended not to hear and walked straight out of the main hall.
Returning to her own courtyard, Xing Xuanli finally couldn't hold back her tears and murmured to herself, "Mother, I will definitely find out everything about you."
At this time, in the Regent's Palace, Yun Mohan and his two sons were having a hard time without Xing Xuanli around. The three of them were sitting on the steps.
Little Kexin asked in a baby voice, "Daddy, when will Mommy come back?"
Yun Mohan gently touched her head and sighed: "Daddy doesn't know either."
Xiao Muhan also sighed, alas!
Yun Mohan tapped little Muhan's head and said with a smile, "Why are you sighing at such a young age?"
Little Mu Han rubbed the place where he was hit, pouted and said, "Is it okay for me to miss my mother? Doesn't Daddy miss Mommy? And you're making fun of me."
Yun Mohan was startled for a moment, then revealed a look of guilt, and said softly, "Daddy misses Mommy too. It's Daddy's fault. I shouldn't have hit you on the head, let alone laughed at you."
Xiao Muhan snorted and turned his head away, ignoring him.
Yun Mohan sighed helplessly, took Xiao Muhan into his arms, and said, "Don't be angry with Daddy.
Xiao Kexin tugged at the corner of Xiao Muhan's clothes and said, "Brother, don't be angry with Daddy."
Little Muhan looked at Little Kexin, then at Yun Mohan, who looked guilty. His pouting mouth finally relaxed, and he said in a muffled voice, "Okay then, I'll forgive Daddy this time."
At this moment, a voice came into Yun Mohan's mind, "Your Majesty, someone is spying on the Duanmu Mansion."
Yun Mohan frowned, thinking to himself, "Who could this person be? Could it be related to his mother-in-law, whom he has never met?"
Yun Mohan also sent a message through voice transmission: "Continue to monitor Duanmu Mansion's every move."
Little Kexin blinked her big eyes and asked, "Daddy, what's wrong with you?"
Yun Mohan forced a smile and patted Xiao Kexin's head: "Daddy is fine, he's just thinking about something. Xiao Xin'er, go play with your brother."
Xiao Kexin tilted her head, seemingly unconvinced, but still took Xiao Muhan's hand obediently: "Then brother, let's go play."
Yun Mohan looked at the children and fell into deep thought.
The two children were playing in the garden behind the rockery. Beibei saw the fish in the lotus pond. The fish looked very beautiful. They were brought back by Yun Mohan from the top of the cloud. They were extremely rare.
Xiao Kexin patted Xiao Muhan on the back and said, "Brother, look at that fish. It's so beautiful. Brother, I want to eat it. Let's grill it."
Little Mu Han's eyes widened: "No, this is something Daddy brought back with great difficulty, I can't eat it."
Xiao Kexin pouted and said, "Humph, I want to eat it. I want to eat it."
Xiao Muhan grabbed Xiao Kexin and said, "Don't make trouble. If Daddy finds out, we will be scolded."
Xiao Kexin broke free from Xiao Muhan's hand: "I don't care, I just want to eat." Then she went to catch the fish.
Yun Mohan didn't know at this moment that the fish he brought back from Cloud Peak that year was being roasted and eaten by two little troublemakers. Yun Mohan, who was wondering when Xing Xuanli would return, suddenly smelled a burning smell.
His heart tightened and he immediately stood up and followed the smell.
When he came to the back garden, he saw two children squatting on the ground with a fire in front of them. Roasting on the fire was the fish that he regarded as a treasure.
Seeing this scene, Yun Mohan, no matter how good his temper was, could not help but roared: "Yun Qirui, Yun Kexin, what are you doing!"
Little Mu Han and little Ke Xin were panicked when their father called them by their full names for the first time. They didn't know what to do. Their father or mother would only call them by their full names when they were the most angry.
Little Mu Han bit his lip and whispered, "Daddy, we really know we were wrong."
Little Kexin tugged at the corner of Yun Mohan's clothes and cried, "Daddy, please don't abandon us."
Yun Mohan hugged the two children in his arms with a distressed look on his face, and his tone softened a lot: "Daddy doesn't mean to abandon you, but this fish is very precious. You are not allowed to be so willful in the future."
The two children nodded quickly and promised that they would never do it again.
Yun Mohan patted their heads and said, "Okay, go play, but be careful."
Xiao Muhan and Xiao Kexin ran away happily as if they had been pardoned.
Yun Mohan looked at their backs, smiled helplessly, and turned back to continue thinking about the message his confidant had sent back to Duanmu Mansion.
Who is this person? Why is he spying on Duanmu Mansion in the middle of the night? What secrets does Duanmu Mansion have?
Could it be that his mother-in-law was really related to the spirit world? He was puzzled.
