Chapter 351: Ye Mo’s Wife Translator: Tim Editor: GlobeGlotter

Li Mumei didn’t know why Ning Qingxue suddenly changed her mind, but she’d been wanting to tell her about this. Since Ning Qingxue had changed her mind, she wouldn’t have to pretend she knew nothing.

However, Li Mumei asked, “Qingxue, if we were still in Beijing, and the Song family were as strong as before, and Song Shaowen forced you to marry him, what would you do?”

“…” Ning Qingxue hadn’t expected Li Mumei to say this. If that were the case, she wouldn’t know what to do. The Song family’s power dwarfed the Ning family’s. If the Song family were still as powerful as before, even if her entire family came to Yu state, a single word from them could doom her family.

Ning Qingxue sighed. Although she didn’t answer Li Mumei, she felt relieved. Luckily, the Song family was finished. She knew how much Song Shaowen had wanted her. It was fortunate the Song family had fallen.

“Before, Song Shaowen wanted to force a marriage. Besides your parents, all the Ning family members agreed without telling them. However, your cousin Ning Yang secretly told you, and I happened to be there,” Li Mumei said slowly.

“Huh… that happened?” Ning Qingxue was dazed. She knew Song Shaowen’s intentions weren’t good, but she understood that powerful families like the Song family cared about appearances. She already had a marriage pact with Ye Mo, so intervention seemed unlikely. She hadn’t expected that to have happened.

Li Mumei continued, “At the time, you were helpless because everyone knew the Ning family couldn’t refuse the Song family.”

Ning Qingxue fell silent. Although she hadn’t married Song Shaowen, she felt a little scared.

“Then, I suggested you marry Ye Mo and live with him. You agreed. Coincidentally, Ye Mo rented a house in Ning Hai, so we moved there,” Li Mumei continued.

Ning Qingxue said slowly, “So that’s how I met him. But wouldn’t the Song family take revenge on him?”

“At the time, I feared the Song family would target Ye Mo, but I still persuaded you, saying they wouldn’t do something so shameless,” Li Mumei sighed. She knew even if the Song family didn’t act against Ye Mo, Song Shaowen would. Yet, she hadn’t mentioned that. She didn’t know how Ye Mo resolved the situation or how Song Shaowen suddenly died.

Li Mumei looked at the still-disbelieving Ning Qingxue. “Later, I spread your photos with Ye Mo online and made a marriage certificate. Then, you moved in with him. As for what happened between you two, I don’t know, but twenty or so days later, Song Shaowen crashed and died at midnight.

I went to Ning Hai to pick you up and planned for you to divorce Ye Mo, but before you left, you saw a small medical case. When you opened it, you rushed into the room and closed the door. I heard you crying, but I couldn’t open the door.”

Ning Qingxue looked at Li Mumei in disbelief. “Why would that be?”

Li Mumei shook her head. “I don’t know, but after a long time, you opened the door and hugged the medical case. Since that day, it’s never left your sight. But from that moment, you adamantly refused to divorce Ye Mo and stayed in Ning Hai. Afterward, when your parents visited, you still didn’t want to leave.”

“You’re saying I’m still Ye Mo’s legal wife?” Ning Qingxue was shocked. How could things be like this? She was actually married.

Li Mumei nodded. “Yes, you are his wife, legally.”

“What about that small case?” Ning Qingxue asked.

Li Mumei answered, “Since your second injury, the case has been left in Ning Hai. Although you bought the house Ye Mo rented, you never went back.”

“In Ning Hai?” Ning Qingxue frowned. “Why was I injured the first and second time?”

Li Mumei shook her head. “You need to ask Xu Wei. She was by your side both times. She lived in that house before, renting with Ye Mo.”

“Xu Wei?” Ning Qingxue thought of the name but couldn’t remember anything.

Li Mumei saw Ning Qingxue couldn’t remember, so she continued, “After Song Shaowen died, the Song family hunted Ye Mo. You even went to Flowing Snake to search for him and went to the desert with Chi Wanqing. I also know you went to Shen Nong Jia, but I don’t know if that was related to Ye Mo.”

“Who is Chi Wanqing?” Ning Qingxue realized more strangers were involved.

“She’s in the army and was on a mission in the borderlands. She met Ye Mo there. I think she liked him and wanted to find him. Somehow, you two met and went to the desert together.” Li Mumei only knew approximately what happened.

Ning Qingxue was more confused. Someone liked Ye Mo?

Noticing Ning Qingxue’s confusion, Li Mumei breathed calmly. “No matter what decision you make, I feel better getting this off my chest. At least my heart can rest easy. Otherwise, I’d feel I’m wronging you. Qingxue, no matter what, the past is the past. If you want to find those memories, go to Ning Hai and ask Xu Wei and Su Jingwen. They know some things. If you don’t want to continue wondering, then stop thinking about it.”

Ning Qingxue nodded. “Mumei, I know you wouldn’t lie. I feel emotionally indifferent. Perhaps Master Wu Guang is right; before I almost died, I must have sealed my emotions. No matter what, I will go to Ning Hai. Maybe you’re right.”

“No, Qingxue, you’re not indifferent because you sealed your memories. I understand you. For some time, I felt you were more stubborn than anyone when it came to feelings. When you didn’t like someone, you were cold, but if you did like someone, that person was your everything. You’d give them anything, including your life. Perhaps you’re an emotional extremist. That’s why your mom doesn’t want you to remember that past,” Li Mumei shook her head.

Hearing Li Mumei, Ning Qingxue fell silent. She felt Li Mumei was right. What really happened between her and Ye Mo? She remembered Ye Mo spitting blood in her mother’s office. If there was nothing between them, why would he be like that?

Despite how real this sounded, Ning Qingxue didn’t believe anything had happened between her and Ye Mo, or that she’d fallen for him. That seemed impossible. She believed she’d been using Ye Mo, and that’s why she’d married him. It had nothing to do with love.

Not to mention, it had been less than a month. Even if Ye Mo were suave and wrote 100 love letters a day, she wouldn’t have a good impression of such a young master, much less love him.

“Mumei, thanks for telling me this. Although I know you wouldn’t lie, I will still ask Xu Wei.” Ning Qingxue had made up her mind. No matter whether this was real or fake, she had to face it.

She never expected to be Ye Mo’s wife. If Li Mumei hadn’t told her, she wouldn’t have known. So, after investigating, she would still divorce. However, she felt a little regretful for making Ye Mo spit blood. Whether or not she used him, she was still his legal wife.

Li Mumei’s face showed happiness. “Then, Qingxue, are you going to Ning Hai or Flowing Snake first?”
