The turbulence in the Shi family ended up with Zhou Ruyu’s being imprisoned in the South House and Zhang Qiuyan’s copying the family rules for three hundred times as a punishment.
Dong Hui was stimulated and went into a coma, and Shi Junhe and Shi Qingxue tried their best to protect her, so she got away with it.
But she was damaged and stayed in her bedroom to recuperate.
Shi Junhe didn’t enter Dong Hui’s room for three days with the reason that he was busy with work.
Although the people in the East House kept it as a secret, and even most of the servants didn’t find the problem, Shi Qingxue knew that Shi Junhe and Dong Hui were at odds.
Shi Junhe didn’t ask Dong Hui about the matter that she dated Yan Lü in the Valentine’s Pavilion secretly at midnight. Maybe he was afraid that it would irritate Dong Hui, or he was waiting for her to explain to him.
Dong Hui didn’t talk about this issue with Shi Junhe. No
Shi Qingxue nodded, kind of acknowledging what Mo Junyang had asked.Mo Junyang thought for a while, and then cautiously conjectured again, “That letter was useless?”Although he also had spies in the Shi family, he only learned about Shi Qingxue’s daily life, and he didn’t know about the important things.Shi Qingxue shook her head, and hesitated for a moment. Then she told Mo Junyang what had happened in the East House and the hall that day.“Thanks to your letter you gave to me that day. So I was able to bring down Zhou Ruyu, although not very successfully...”Mo Junyang frowned, “Your grandmother...” She was very suspicious.Due to the relationship between Mo Shujun and Shi Qingxue, Mo Junyang didn’t say clearly.But Shi Qingxue understood what he meant. She did not get angry, but looked very happy, as if she had found a confidant.She held Mo Junyang’s hand excitedly and said
“You, why did you do that?” Shi Qingxue stammered. But because of her weak vigor, she did not dare to look at Mo Junyang.She was about to question him, but she behaved in a spoiled manner.Mo Junyang hugged Qingxue tighter. He was hugging his baby.He lowered his head again and touched Qingxue’s hot red face with his cheek.His ear touched her hair, so affectionate.This action which was showing weakness made Shi Qingxue no longer angry. Although she was still embarrassed, she did not dodge.She controlled her shyness and felt Mo Junyang’s silent affection.Then, she gently, slightly, and actively touched Mo Junyang’s face.Like a kitty showing love.Mo Junyang was suddenly stiffened, and immediately held her in front of him excitedly, staring at her in disbelief.The surprised look seemed to ask, “You actually actively kissed me!”The react
After hearing the emperor’s edict, Shi Junhe didn’t even say a word to retort but just knelt down and expressed his thanks to the emperor’s kindness.Mo Xiangbin didn’t plan to say more seemingly and waved his hand, telling all the officials to leave.After most of them left, he suddenly said, “Junyang, stay.”It was not the first time for Mo Xiangbin to tell Mo Junyang to stay and discuss with him alone, and all the officials were not surprised. At most, they just looked at Mo Junyang several times before leaving.As something so serious had happened, the high officials hurried to return after walking out and wanted to discuss with the ones in the same faction, and even the minor officials planned to make comments. They left in threes and fives and whispered to each other.“Gee, the Shi family has been powerful in the officialdom for so many years and attracted much attention. Many people must be jealous of them.”
Mo Xiangbin was stiff but got relieved at once. He nodded at Mo Junyang with admiration and smiled. “Great, great! I know that you would always be loyal to me.”Seeing the emperor’s old face wrinkled with a smile, Mo Junyang knew that Mo Xiangbin started to imagine too much again.But he didn’t explain. His silence made Mo Xiangbin think that the young man had no choice but to give up Shi Qingxue because of him.He had more love and guilt towards Mo Junyang.“Junyang…”Mo Xiangbin pondered for a while. Although he couldn’t say sorry, the emperor still expressed generously, “You don’t need to worry about Junjiu’s death. I will help you solve the problem.”He offered an attractive compensation.Mo Junyang nodded slightly. “Your Majesty, thanks for your kindness.”Mo Xiangbin rarely showed his gentleness and closeness to Mo Junyang, but unfortunately, this man had no reaction at all,
“We don’t need to…”As soon as Mo Junyang started, Mo Junyu thought this man was stupid and didn’t resist the enemies even when they were in front of him, so he got angry. “Are you kidding? I won’t allow them to wrong you. If you are really unwilling, then…”“I didn’t mean that.” Mo Junyang interrupted Mo Junyu helplessly.Before the crown prince lost temper, Mo Junyang had to tell him what Mo Xiangbin had promised. “His Majesty said that he would help me solve this problem, so we need to do nothing but wait for the result quietly, and…”He paused for a while and his deep eyes fell on Mo Junyu. Then he continued indifferently, “And if we leave this case to His Majesty, we might get an unexpected result. For example…find the real murderer behind it.”“Yes, yes!” Mo Junyu answered in a daze and didn’t react after a long time.Although he firmly believed that Mo Junyang would never kill Mo Junjiu, he never ex
Shi Junhe walked out of the imperial study and left the other officials’ whispers behind. Then he went back to the mansion directly.Even so, the news spread much faster than he had guessed.When he entered the gate of the East House, before he went back to his bedroom, somebody from the Shou’an Hall came to send a message that the Princess Royal asked him to see her.Shi Junhe met Shi Qingxue’s doubtful eyes and sighed helplessly with a bitter smile. “Mother got the news so soon.”“Father, what happened?” Shi Qingxue felt nervous after seeing Shi Junhe’s smile and thought that something bad would happen.“Nothing.” Shi Junhe shook his head slowly and pushed Qingxue back into the study.He patted her head and comforted her. “Be good and wait here for me. I will tell you after I come back.”With that, he followed the maid from the Shou’an Hall to leave.Shi Qingxue stood at the doo
Shi Junhe exactly knew what Mo Shujun cared about most.His words “break his heart” made Mo Shujun unable to say anything forcefully.Mo Shujun took a deep breath and swallowed her aggressive momentum, staring at Shi Junhe coldly for a long while.Shi Junhe didn’t surrender.He was gentle and respected his mother. If he wasn’t forced to have no choice, he was certainly unwilling to turn against Mo Shujun.He had thought that as they talked about this matter, it was unnecessary to say more.Unexpectedly, Mo Shujun kept silent for a while and then suddenly said with a smile, “Junhe, you really love your daughter very much. I wonder to what level you can protect your wife.”Shi Junhe paused and looked at Mo Shujun abruptly. “Mother, what do you mean?”Mo Shujun came back to her seat and responded slowly, “Do you think that I am old and brainless and totally forgot what happened in th
Mo Junyang dragged Shi Qingxue backward and then said seriously, “Let’s get to business.”Shi Qingxue was confused.Shi Junhe was shocked.Huh! He knew that Mo Junyang was just jealous and even Qingxue’s father wasn’t allowed to touch her.Mo Junyang ignored Shi Junhe’s glare and asked impassively, “General Shi, what’s your plan?”At the mention of this, the future father-in-law, Shi Junhe who prepared to be arrogant was frustrated immediately.He shook his head helplessly. “Probably Mother wants to ruin both sides this time. If I refuse her decisively, I am afraid that…”Although Shi Junhe loved his daughter and wouldn’t force Qingxue to marry Mo Junhao, he couldn’t stand by and watch Mo Shujun ruin Dong Hui’s fame.Even though Dong Hui asked for everything.Hearing that, Shi Qingxue sniffled and cautiously glanced at Shi Junhe. She wanted to say something but stoppe
