Bursting into Yan Fei’s domain, she indeed saw Yun Li being held by two guards, with broken porcelain scattered on the ground.
“Wow. Yan Fei is in a terrible mood.”
“How dare you not bow to Lady Yan Fei!” the lead maidservant scolded.
Mei Kaiye shouted back, “I don’t bow even to that bastard Fei Zuo, let alone her! One must be bold in life!”
Yan Fei glanced at Mei Kaiye, suppressing her anger, and put down her teacup heavily, “Oh, what wind brings Mei sister here?”
“Don’t get familiar with me. Call me Miss Mei,” Mei Kaiye threw out a provocative remark, “I’m here to demand an explanation. Why did you take Yun Li without my permission?”
Yan Fei’s face turned blue, “Miss Mei, you’re overstepping. Although I may not be much, I’m still the consort of the Crown Prince. And you?”
Mei Kaiye bared her teeth, “I’m his creditor! He owes me. So what?”
“You!”
“Creditor?” A lazy voice interrupted, and a tall figure entered the room.
Yan Fei was overjoyed, “Your Highness!”
But Fei Zuo completely ignored her, raising an eyebrow at Mei Kaiye with a slight smile, “When did I owe you anything?”
“Mei… Kaiye,” Mo Yi said the two words very softly, almost inaudibly, “do you remember someone named Du Gu Ming?”
Mei Kaiye frowned tightly, “I don’t know.”
Mo Yi exhaled and asked again, “Then… do you remember a bastard named Mo Yi?”
Mo Yi? Seems like… there’s a vague impression. Fragments flashed in her mind, too quick to grasp. Trying to recall, her mind became more chaotic. She held her head and hit it hard several times.
Mo Yi caught her hand, sighing, “Stop trying.” She was still herself… and that was enough.
Mei Kaiye gradually calmed down. Mo Yi continued, “Three days from now, I’ll wait for you outside the city. When you’ve decided, come.”
Mei Kaiye nodded.
In the following days, Mei Kaiye lived in a state of struggle.
She wanted to leave, but also felt reluctant. After all, she had lived in this place for as long as she could remember…
Packing some clothes, Mei Kaiye left her courtyard. Walking along the corridor, she saw Fei Zuo standing at the other end.
He stood quietly, sunlight casting on his profile, but his expression was indiscernible.
