Chapter 398: Heart Throbbing and Unwilling (1)
Jin Yun’s voice first filled Yun Jin with joy, but her face harshened quickly when she heard his words.
Didn’t Yun Er say he could only return after two days? Then, did he come back early just to see this wench?
Yun jin’s eyes were filled with ill intent as she glared at Gong Yi Mo. Since she had already been discovered, there was no need to hide it any longer. Yes, she didn’t like this girl, she just didn’t!
Jin Yun hurriedly came over.
Time had surely favored him in the past few years. Even as a twenty-year-old, he looked as if he were merely eighteen. The only difference during the well-passed last two years was that his eyes had become tougher, despite still remaining beautiful. Of course, no one would see Jin Yun as a female anymore. Even the black spot on the corner of his eye slightly faded* away as he furrowed his eyebrows.
TN*: a black mole/spot is like a sign of beauty
“Mother consort! Why are you doing this?”
Jin Yun was in disbelief. Yimo had done so much for the two of them, so why was his mother empress suddenly hostile towards her?
He had thought his mother consort would understand, but instead, her thoughts only became more distrayed!
“Yun Er, I...did this for your own good!”
Right in front of Jin Yun, Yun Jin seemed to become that little woman from the cold palace that she once was. Despite being already forty-years-old, her words towards him were filled with blame.
Although Gong Yi Mo wasn’t paying attention before, she couldn’t help but feel a tingle when she glanced over!
It couldn’t be what like that, could it?
Jin Yun angrily glared at Yun Jin, but unable to do much more than that to her. Jin Yun was a filial person. He could only do as he had been for the past two years; defending and hiding, but what could that accomplish?
Seeing that the guards who were still yet to be dismissed, Jin Yun was utterly disappointed. “Mother consort, I don’t know what you’re thinking, but don’t put her into the imperial harem. She’s still young, plus she never did anything wrong!”
His words made Yun Jin feel as if her face was on fire. She furiously looked to Gong Yi Mo, who was staring at the sky. Regardless of their fierce argument, Gong Yi Mo could save her strength now that Jin Yun was back.
“Look at her! Just look! Yun Er! While you weren’t here, you have no idea what infuriating things she’s done to me! She isn’t as kind-hearted as you took her to be, she’s just a snake! Don’t be tricked by her facade!”
Jin Yun was furious now, unable to help but glance towards Gong Yi Mo.
In that instant, Gong Yi Mo who was watching the drama unfold rolled her eyes at him. Her humorous yet clever appearance only made his heart skip a beat. In the depths of that heart, he felt mixed feelings of both sweetness but more uncertainty than anything else.
He heard him say out loud...
“No matter what she does, it’s all fine...”
When Gong Yi Mo heard his words, she proudly lifted her chin. She didn’t have the intention to actually marry Jin Yun anyways, plus he probably wouldn’t care what her choice would be in the end. But Yun Jin would definitely overthink those words...yet, Gong Yi Mo failed to notice the way his words were gently spoken, and how filled they were with such longing.
Although Gong Yi Mo ignored it, Yun Jin could not! She felt as if her entire body was drowned in an icy river, the cold pricking her to the bones!
Her son was in love with another woman! She was about to lose her only son!
“No...I won’t allow it!”
Yun Jin was furious! She rushed towards Jin Yun, her eyes seeming to spit fire at him! “I will pick a suitable wife for you sooner or later, but her! I won’t allow it! So what if she has your child? Don’t even think about marrying a fox natured woman like her who doesn’t even love herself! Don’t even think about marrying her as a concubine!”
Now Gong Yi Mo was furious! Just because he wanted to marry her didn’t mean she’d agree to it!
But Jin Yun was in shock! He sputtered and slowly asked, “What child?”
