NOVEL WEB Chapter 465: Jing Ni’s Relief, Husband’s Exceptional Insight, Daughter’s Exceptional Wisdom
Upon seeing Li Mo arrive, Jing Ni felt as if she had found her anchor.
She picked up the little one in the cradle, bringing Xiao Yan’er to his side.
In a gentle tone filled with worry, she said, “The child hasn’t woken up yet.”
Li Mo had left yesterday afternoon.
Now, upon his return, it was already morning.
For a child of Xiao Yan’er’s age, it was usual for her to wake up several times in half a day for milk.
However, curiously, ever since Li Mo left yesterday, she had been sleeping soundly, showing no signs of waking up at all.
Even when Jing Ni lightly nudged her to wake her up for milk, there was no response whatsoever.
“She’s been sleeping all this time?”
Hearing this, Li Mo couldn’t help but feel worried. “Have you had Duanmu take a look?”
Xiao Yan’er’s sleeping face appeared charming, her chubby little cheeks rosy and healthy.
From her complexion, she looked even better than a typical child.
Jing Ni fretted, “She’s been seen by Duanmu, who said everything’s fine, but 03 has never slept this long before.
Isn’t she hungry?”
Jing Ni hadn’t been a mother for long and was naturally worried that her child might be unwell.
It was either fearing she was too cold or too hot or worried she might be starving.
Li Mo pondered for a moment and then placed his hand on Xiao Yan’er’s forehead.
After feeling for a while, he finally felt at ease.
Reassuring Jing Ni, he said, “It’s alright. It’s Master Xun’s Righteous Qi purifying her constitution.”
Righteous Qi is the righteous energy of heaven and earth.
It helps to ward off all harms and prevents evil from entering the body.
Children purified by Righteous Qi grow not only to be smarter but also get sick less often.
Regular colds and such ailments will barely trouble them.
“Is that so?”
Hearing Li Mo’s words, Jing Ni finally sighed in relief.
Looking at her still-sleeping daughter, she raised her head to Li Mo and said, “We really have to thank Master Xun this time.
The child will definitely suffer less in the future. By the way, did you find any clues over there?”
Li Mo took Xiao Yan’er from her arms and said, “I didn’t find any clues, but I did get some unexpected things.”
Jing Ni asked, “What is it?”
Li Mo didn’t reply immediately but instead activated his Righteous Qi.
He gently placed his hand on Xiao Yan’er.
A gentle breeze blew by.
Suddenly, an inkling of regret surged up in Jing Ni’s heart.
During her days as an assassin, she had inflicted so much bloodshed. Wouldn’t that backfire onto her daughter?
With that thought, she couldn’t help but whisper confessions to Li Mo.
“I’ve killed so many and stained my hands with so much blood. What if my blood debts affect Yan’er?”
As soon as she said it, she realized something was off.
Her time as an assassin was before she met Li Mo, and she had long let that go.
So why was she suddenly having such thoughts now?
“You…”
She stared blankly at Li Mo, and the undeniable connection between them told her
that her thoughts must be related to him.
Then looking at Xiao Yan’er in his arms,
the expression on her face mirrored the one she had when Master Xun infused her with Righteous Qi.
“Husband, you…”
Jing Ni had already deduced the reason; she just couldn’t believe it at the moment.
Li Mo lowered his hand, looking at Xiao Yan’er’s face of comfort, and smiled, “Master Xun’s Righteous Qi isn’t deep enough, so I reinforced it for Yan’er.”
Jing Ni’s heart jolted.
So it was true!
Li Mo had also grasped Righteous Qi!
The reason she felt such remorse earlier was undoubtedly influenced by him.
And what was even more unbelievable was that he had understood Righteous Qi to a depth greater than Master Xun!
Yesterday, when Master Xun used Righteous Qi, the effect on her wasn’t that significant.
But now, with Li Mo’s use, it was overwhelming, stirring guilt deep within her!
Was this what he gained in the Confucian school?
What exactly had her husband done there?
How could he suddenly comprehend Righteous Qi?
Righteous Qi is a potent force within the heart.
In the Confucian school, only Great Scholars could grasp this essence over the years,
and Master Xun had to read all his life just to get a glimpse.
Yet Li Mo had comprehended it after only one night!
He even surpassed Master Xun!
Li Mo seemed to sense her thoughts and explained, “I was absorbed in reading and came across Confucius,
had a chat with him, and then grasped it.”
To be precise, it was Confucius’s lingering will that made him confront his own heart.
By leveraging the steadfast words on the bamboo slips, he managed to comprehend Righteous Qi.
“Ah, I see.”
Jing Ni nodded, appearing calm on the surface but unsure of what to say inside.
Wasn’t her husband just a bit too extraordinary?
Looking at her precious daughter, she finally sighed with relief, “Thank goodness Master Xun said she’s just like you.”
She didn’t wish for Xiao Yan’er to possess the same insight as Li Mo.
Just half of it.
No, a quarter of that would do.
Just as long as she had even one-quarter of it, her future capabilities would definitely surpass her own from back in the day.
At least she would be smarter than her!
Having just bent down to place Xiao Yan’er back in her cradle,
a graceful and elegant purple figure appeared at the courtyard gate.
Sister Zi walked in with her captivating steps, looking at Li Mo with a smile, and said, “Da Siming said you were looking for me?”
Li Mo stood up straight. “You’re here so quickly? I do need to discuss something with you.”
“Quickly tell me; I still have accounts to settle.”
Sister Zi wasn’t one to be formal, urging him directly.
Li Mo took out something from his waist and waved it before her eyes, asking, “Can you take a look at this? What’s its value?”
