Chapter 850 Dowry (3)

……*……*……

Outside the Moxiangzhai of the Duke of Liguo’s Mansion

Mo Ziqi sat cross-legged under a hundred-year-old pine tree, with an agarwood guqin on his knees. The guqin was full-shaped, black-lacquered, and had fine flowing water.   The jade emblem, jade pegs, jade feet, dragon pool round, and phoenix pond rectangular, if you know the goods, you can recognize at a glance that it is a Lianzhu-style guqin made by Lei Wei, a famous guqin maker.

Unfortunately, Fei'er didn't understand the piano. She only knew that the piano sound was the most beautiful sound she had ever heard in her life, like the sound of nature, so melodious and clear, like the mountain springs playing among the green mountains; so free and unrestrained; like the majestic wind passing by the willow branches, so soft and beautiful, like the colorful butterflies fluttering among the flowers; so cold and noble, like the red plum blossoms dancing in the snow...

The piano sound stopped abruptly, and the man who played the piano raised his head and looked at the girl standing at the door with a cold look. The handsome and indifferent face exuded an unattainable aura.

"What's the matter?"

He frowned and looked over, slightly annoyed because his elegant mood of burning incense and playing the piano was interrupted.

Fei'er was frightened by his unhappy look and was a little flustered. She blushed and bent down, whispering: "I came here to thank you for saving my life. Now that Xiao Jing is fine, I am planning to go home, so I came to say goodbye to you."

Mo Ziqi retracted his gaze and said lightly: "You can't leave!"

Fei'er was surprised: "Why?"

"The Duke of Liguo's Mansion has been confined by the emperor. No one in the mansion is allowed to enter or leave. Those who violate the order will be punished for disobeying the order!"

The man said casually, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him, without any fear or irritability.

Fei'er's heart shrank, and she subconsciously asked: "When will the ban be lifted?"

"I don't know, maybe soon, maybe a long time, or maybe I will wait for the imperial decree to execute the whole family..." When the man said this, his narrow and long phoenix eyes inadvertently swept across the girl's face, as if he wanted to see the girl's expression.

At this moment, the expression on the girl's face suddenly became rich and colorful, with shock, sadness, pity, and... heartache!

That's right, the look of biting her lips and blinking her big eyes looking straight at him was clearly heartache!

Under normal circumstances, when hearing that she might suffer an unexpected disaster, shouldn't the girl be afraid and cry? Why is there such an expression?

Mo Ziqi's heart moved, and his eyes softened when he looked at the girl. The girl's expression was a little unexpected to him, but it seemed to be within his expectations. Her expression made him feel happy suddenly, and he also had a little secret joy of meeting a confidant in his heart.

He knew that this girl was different, fortunately, she didn't let him down!

"Don't be disappointed, sir, everything will be fine."

Fei'er comforted him, although her voice was not loud, but every word was clear, and her low and soft voice was a bit firm.

Mo Ziqi raised the corners of his mouth, and his voice was a little warmer than before, "Young lady, you are still young, aren't you afraid of being implicated by our Duke Liguo Mansion and losing your life in vain?"

"No!"

Fei'er shook her head and said with a determined look: "If it weren't for the young master's rescue, Fei'er would have died long ago, how could I still be standing here and talking to you?"

"Your name is Fei'er?"

Mo Ziqi put down the zither and stood up slowly. His tall and straight body stood under the vigorous ancient tree, his clothes fluttering, his sleeves spread out, and he had a noble aura like a banished immortal.
