Shi Junhe thought, “Wenren Chi loves you secretly. If you take the initiative, there might be something wrong.”
But he couldn’t say that. So he replied, “Didn’t you promise to make a large piece of embroidery of hibiscus for Baoning? You just have a start, but you want to go out every day. With your skill, can you finish it before her wedding? Do you want to find somebody to make it for you?”
Shi Qingxue was good at embroidery, but she did it unusually slowly. When she was a child, she had a friend who insisted on asking her to make her a small piece of embroidery as a birthday gift. Qingxue had no choice but to agree. At last, she wanted to go to the military camp with Shi Lei and couldn’t finish the embroidery in time. Shi Lei told her to find a maid to finish the task for her. Later, she even cut the connection with that friend whom she thought as a burden.
Although Shi Lei incited her to do that, she always took it as a shame. When Shi Junh
Wenren Chi stayed silent for a long time. Nobody knew if he agreed with Mo Junjiu or still hesitated.Not until Mo Junjiu looked impatient did Wenren Chi say gently, “That letter was only Mo Shujun’s intention, and it didn’t mean that Shi Junhe also wanted to harm my father. What’s more, I have a question to ask you, Your Highness.”“What?”“Since this letter is in your hands, can I ask how Shi Junhe would have killed my father according to the letter that year?”Mo Junjiu was speechless and glared at Wenren Chi silently.It seemed that Wenren Chi just asked the question and didn’t want the answer. He looked peaceful and stood up to say goodbye. “Your Highness, thanks for dinner today. I will think over what you said and investigate it.”In fact, the questions he had mentioned and the contradiction were obvious, but he had been “driven away” from their mansion by Shi Junhe and then Mo Junjiu suddenly told
The news Mo Yuzhen mentioned was not surprising, and Shi Qingxue had known about Mo Xiangbin’s intention earlier, so she said indifferently, “I know, but I won’t marry him. Don’t worry.”“You don’t know!” Mo Yuzhen replied anxiously.Under Qingxue’s stunned eyes, Mo Yuzhen grabbed her friend’s hand and said quickly, “It is not the same as before this time. My father is determined to marry you to Junhao, and Concubine Liu will hold a dinner party in Junhao’s mansion and invite all the noble ladies, in order to confirm it.”“A dinner party? Why didn’t I know?”Mo Yuzhen was disappointed at her and poked her forehead, cursing, “You have been hiding in your bedroom these days. What the hell did you know?”It could be seen how angry Mo Yuzhen was.Shi Qingxue shrank her neck and listened to her lecture obediently in silence.After venting all her resentment these days by this chance, Mo Yuzhen said
It was said on Liu Yiyi’s invitation that the fourth prince’s side concubine Qin Yanyan would have her birthday in three days, so Liu Yiyi would like to invite the ladies from aristocratic families to enjoy the beauty of flowers in his mansion and celebrate Qin Yanyan’s birthday.If Qingxue didn’t know that Liu Yiyi aimed at her, she would have thought that the emperor’s favored concubine sincerely liked her daughter-in-law so much as to make her happy, but if others knew that Liu Yiyi wanted Shi Qingxue to be the fourth prince’s wife, it would humiliate Qin Yanyan.Shi Qingxue felt it laughable but didn’t want to join the fun.Next day, she told someone to send a letter to the imperial palace and said that she was seriously ill, so she couldn’t disturb Qin Yanyan’s birthday party. Meanwhile she sent a proper gift to the fourth prince’s mansion.After she did that for the sake of courtesy, Qingxue felt at ease and stayed at home to
Mo Junyang was stunned, with a gloomy expression flashing in his eyes. “Okay.”“Uhh?” Shi Qingxue was surprised at his simple answer and asked automatically, “Don't you ask me how he bullied me?”Mo Junyang shook his head. “No need to ask.”Seeing that Qingxue still didn’t give up, he added, “If you don’t want to tell me, I won’t push you.”Shi Qingxue couldn’t help laughing and went deep into his arms. Mo Junhao’s touch disgusted her, but Mo Junyang made her…relaxed.It was wrong. She shouldn’t treat Mo Junyang like this. This was not her man, but she couldn’t control herself, nor did she want to loosen her hand.After quite a while, Shi Qingxue managed with effort to calm down and forced herself to let go of his arms which made her unwilling to leave but belonged to somebody else. She smiled and said softly, “I am sorry…in all aspects.”Mo Junyang paused for a while and also smiled, replying
Hearing the words “Purity Garden”, Mo Junhao changed his expression. He glared at Qin Yanyan ferociously and asked in a rage, “What are you going to do?”Qin Yanyan replied, “I said any other woman can, but Shi Qingxue can’t. If you insist on marrying her, I will ruin her.”“You!” Mo Junhao looked ghostly pale and stared at Qin Yanyan. “So last time it was you…”“It was me!” Qin Yanyan didn’t hide it from him anymore but admitted, “If I didn’t fear that you would be hurt, I would have already killed that bitch. How could she come to our mansion to steal my husband?”She looked horrible, with deep hatred but felt happy. “But this time, nobody can save her. The Purity Garden. I remember that you still have some guests staying there. I don’t know who would have the chance to touch her or how many men can sleep with her. Don’t worry. Even if your people can’t get any profit, I have prepared entertainment for her…Gee, I wa
Comments and criticisms came one after another, which made Shi Baoning blush and feel embarrassed and angry, but she could do nothing.It was more horrible that influenced by their words, she couldn’t help but doubt whether Shi Qingxue was inside and even…Shi Baoning abruptly shook her head and cast off those absurd thoughts.She grasped her handkerchief secretly and told herself, “No, it can’t be true. They are just making a false charge against Qingxue.”Luo Wenmei suddenly moved close to Shi Baoning and whispered with a smile, “There is such a slut in your family. If I were you, I would have stayed away from it and proved myself earlier. Otherwise, can you get any profit if the news spreads?”While speaking, she pretended to unintentionally look around.Not until then did Shi Baoning realize that the ones next to her had gone far away from her, and many noble ladies peeped at her. When they met her eye
Qin Yanyan had a perfect plan and prepared everything. If somebody dared to resist, she would force them out of the Purity Garden.At the moment, somebody reported from outside all of a sudden, “The crown prince, the fourth prince, and King Rui’s heir are coming!”All people looked at the entrance at the same time and saw the crown prince Mo Junyu walking in the front, with Mo Junyang and Mo Junhao on each side, entering the Purity Garden and coming over.Anxiety couldn’t be concealed on Mo Junhao’s face, and he walked irregularly. It appeared that he wanted to walk faster but had to follow Mo Junyu because of his status.He looked over here in the distance and seemed to be looking for something. As soon as he found Shi Qingxue, his pupils shrank out of the blue, but soon he calmed down. He lowered his head to hide his complicated thoughts and followed Mo Junyu steadily.Mo Junhao believed his petty actions were not ey
Shi Baoning found more mysteries. She stared at Shi Qingxue’s neck, which was covered by the collar. But when she lowered her head, some red marks were exposed. Even though Shi Baoning didn’t have experience, she knew what had happened.Shi Qingxue seemed not to notice Shi Baoning’s changed expression and explained with a smile, “The wine made my clothes wet, so I got changed and washed myself.”It could truly explain why she got changed, but it couldn’t conceal the red marks on her neck.Shi Qingxue didn’t plan to give an explanation and forcefully told Jing Yi to send Shi Baoning into the carriage.Mo Junyu stood behind and watched everything. He couldn’t help laughing and sighed with emotion to Mo Junyang. “I think your girlfriend is not easy to handle. She is skillful in lying.”If he didn’t know the truth, he might have been cheated by Shi Qingxue’s calmness.Mo Junyang cast a sidelong glance at him a
