"This... what kind of nonsense is this!" She held onto the Newspaper, her hand trembling slowly. The article extensively reported on her relationship with Ruan Yu, but it was all nonsense, written excessively. Her breathing became increasingly rapid, and even her fair skin felt hot.
Feng Yin hurriedly supported her, worriedly saying, "Miss, as long as you know it's nonsense, that's enough. In this chaotic world, let those people say what they want, but you mustn't let it harm yourself."
She lightly pushed Feng Yin away, wrapping her arms around herself. The coolness of the silk Qipao seeped through her skin to her heart, and her clear Water Eyes held a hint of sadness. She no longer cared what others said about her. However, the comments about Shaoyi in the Newspaper made her extremely unhappy; they painted Shaoyi in a completely negative light, as if...
She bit her Rose-Colored Lips to suppress the tears that were about to fall. Hearing the sound of the front door opening downstairs, she knew he had returned. Initially pleased, she then felt anxious and turned to run back into the room, sitting in front of the vanity. Looking at her peach-blossom-like complexion in the mirror only made her feel more embarrassed and angry, and she bent down to cry.
"Feng Yin, how is Cheng Mosu?" He had naturally seen that report and was worried that Cheng Mosu would not be able to handle it, so he hurried back.
Feng Yin sighed and shook her head. "The miss saw that report and is extremely upset; she's probably crying in there now."
He sighed again and simply said, "Alright, I understand. You go prepare two breakfasts; I will go down to eat with her later." Feng Yin quickly agreed, and he handed over his Military Uniform jacket, adjusted his collar, and pushed the door open to enter.
Cheng Mosu heard the commotion and couldn't help but lift her Water-colored Eyes, turning her face toward him. His handsome Face instantly filled her vision; her eyes reddened again as she felt tears welling up. He was taken aback and quickly grasped her delicate white wrist, looking at her stunning beauty. Her eyes held a faint softness, while her Rose-Colored Lips tightly blossomed with sadness.
"Cheng Mosu, you're a mother now; why are you still throwing a tantrum like a child?" Though his words were reproachful, they carried a deep sense of helplessness and indulgence. His Jet-Black Eyes rested on her as he pressed his forehead against hers and smiled, "If you keep crying, I might have to punish you properly."
"Punish me? For what?" She stopped crying and looked at him in confusion. He raised his Lip Corners and took advantage of her unguarded moment to kiss her. Her face flushed red as she hurriedly pushed him away and scolded, "You... you're really..."
"Cheng Mosu." He no longer smiled but straightened her posture instead, gazing at the elegant contours of her face. "You don't need to pay attention to what that Newspaper says; I won't believe it."
Upon hearing this, the sadness in her heart was instantly reignited. She looked at him faintly as tears began to fall rapidly down her cheeks. "You may not believe it, but there will always be others who do. All those things are nonsense; nothing happened between me and Ruan Yu. If something really happened, how could I still be sitting here calmly in front of you?"
“Cheng Mosu, I understand what you mean.” He hurriedly comforted her, looking at the tears on her long Eyelashes. The clarity and elegance in her eyes resembled a clear lake. He helped her wipe away the tears. However, she shook her head repeatedly, her voice soft, “It doesn’t matter how you speak of me; I know you won’t believe it. But this will tarnish your reputation. How will you establish your authority in the Military in the future? You clearly did nothing wrong, yet you have to endure these rumors stabbing at your back. I cannot tolerate that.”
He softened his gaze, a warm feeling flowing through him. His Cheng Mosu was always like this, considering everything for him while putting herself last. His eyes were as clear and bright as jade, quietly gazing at her, and he smiled gently, “It’s okay.” He took her small hand and said, “Let’s have breakfast first; there’s a banquet tonight that requires your presence.”
She was taken aback for a moment but quickly understood his meaning. A hint of a smile appeared on her Rose-Colored Lips, and she was no longer upset. She could even guess who was behind this incident; she would put an end to it tonight.
Seeing her calm down, he led her to the dining room for breakfast. After they finished eating, they spent some time playing with Ling Heng before returning to their room.
“It’s been a long time since we painted together.” She looked at Shangguan Shaoyi grinding ink and couldn’t help but smile lightly. Shangguan Shaoyi looked back at her and casually sketched a delicate beauty on the paper, adorned with green mountains and clear waters. Although the woman was only depicted from behind, she appeared exceptionally beautiful amidst the landscape on the blank paper.
She knew who he was drawing and felt a blush rise to her face. She casually sketched a few light clouds in the sky, adding a touch of softness to the scene. Leaning against the window frame, she gazed outside as the breeze lifted her hair. She smiled lightly, “The scenery we paint is so serene and beautiful, yet the real world is so desolate.”
His heart tightened at her words. “One day, those Japanese Army will be driven out by us; you will see this scene come to life.”
They continued painting together, each adding strokes to the canvas as the sky gradually darkened. She changed into a plain Qipao printed with lotus flowers and linked her arm with his as they stepped out together. A layer of sweat formed in his palm as he looked at her; she smiled faintly at him.
All the Soldiers had naturally read that morning's Newspaper. Their gazes toward Shangguan Shaoyi and Cheng Mosu carried different shades of color. However, the two remained calm and cheerful, chatting as usual. The Soldiers lost interest in gossiping and dismissed the Newspaper as nonsense.
Cheng Mosu Water-colored Eyes lightly scanned the crowd until they landed on a figure in the distance. Xia Yixiang noticed she was looking at him and whispered something to Ye Guanmei before walking over to her with a big smile, “Consort Shangguan, long time no see.”
“Yes, long time no see.” Cheng Mosu understood that this was Xia Yixiang’s doing. If it only concerned her, she would ignore it completely. But since it involved Shaoyi, she could not forgive Xia Yixiang’s actions.
Seeing her lost in thought, Xia Yixiang couldn’t help but laugh, “What’s wrong, Consort Shangguan? Is today’s Newspaper making you unhappy?”
"What's there to be unhappy about?" Cheng Mosu said with a calm smile, a hint of coldness added to her water-colored eyes. "My life hasn't changed at all, while the person spreading rumors has gained nothing. Why should I be unhappy?"
Xia Yixiang's expression shifted as she continued, "Lady Ye, you actually don't need to investigate; I already know who did this. You and your husband have always targeted me and Shaoyi, but that's because your husband is unaware of your past. Tell me, if I were to reveal to him that your feelings for Shaoyi turned from love to hate, would he still listen to your whispers and do things for you?"
"You!" Xia Yixiang narrowed her eyes, not expecting the usually docile Cheng Mosu to retaliate like this.
