“What you said is true?” Hearing Mo Junyang’s words, Shi Qingxue looked astonished.
Mo Junyang raised his brows slightly and laughed. “What? You don’t believe it?”
“Yes. I just think the two are…strange!” Shi Qingxue didn’t conceal her emotions and replied frankly to Mo Junyang.
Although she had heard that Zhou Ruyu planned to make a match for Shi Baoyou and Mo Junhao, she just thought that Zhou Ruyu was daydreaming. The two had no contact and would never be together.
Unexpectedly, just a few days later, the situation changed dramatically, which surprised her.
“Strange?” Mo Junyang repeated the word and then stayed silent all of a sudden.
Shi Qingxue didn’t realize Mo Junyang’s changing emotions and thought that he didn’t understand what she meant.
She nodded and continued to explain, “Right. In the previous life, Mo Junhao married Shi Baojin, who was my uncle’s legitimate daughter. She was am
For the first time, Mo Shujun asked to see Mo Junhao and requested that the place should be secret.He almost instantly guessed her purpose and contacted a country house. Then he took Mo Shujun there secretly.After seeing Mo Junhao, Mo Shujun showed her concern about him as a convention first, and he answered her.They talked happily.“Junhao, you told me that you wanted to marry a lady from my family in the past. What do you think now?” Mo Shujun kept her countenance and sounded him out.Mo Junhao replied respectfully, “I don’t dare to keep it from you, Great-aunt. I want to marry a girl from Duke Shi’s mansion indeed. It would be helpful to me and Duke Shi’s mansion currently. Please make my wish come true.”He just considered the interests and didn’t talk about his feelings, but it was easier to move Mo Shujun.Mo Shujun nodded in secret and appreciated Mo Junhao as he judged the hour and
Leng Yan racked her brains to please Mo Shujun and didn’t expect that the old lady changed the subject all of a sudden and focused on her, so it scared her.She hurriedly knelt on the floor and straightened her back, preparing to beg for mercy.Mo Shujun raised Leng Yan’s chin and expressed gently, “Stupid child, what are you afraid of? I just want to know what you are thinking about and don’t plan to denounce you.”Leng Yan secretly pinched her thigh, and her eyes were full of tears in an instant, but she controlled herself and didn’t let the tears fall.She looked at Mo Shujun pitifully and expressed her loyalty again. “Princess Royal, you are wise. I have been brought up by you since childhood, and I am definitely loyal to you and would never betray you.”She spoke solemnly like swearing.But Mo Shujun was suspicious and even doubted a child that she had brought up.However, she didn’t show
Quan would surely spit at the speaker and disdained this short-sighted person.Although Duke Shi’s family appeared to be out of luck recently, didn’t everything in the world change every day?Now didn’t they rise up again?Moreover, the foundation of the Shi family was deep obviously. Even if Shi Junhe wasn’t promoted, Quan was willing to flatter this big hero in all common people’s hearts.“Lord Quan, you deserve it. You work for His Majesty, and I can’t let you suffer from injustice!” Shi Junhe insisted on giving the money bag to Quan, and the latter pushed it away as a form but then put it in his pocket.At the same time, the smile on Quan’s face was brighter. “Thanks for your reward, General.”“Lord Quan, you are welcome. Did His Majesty say anything after issuing the two imperial edicts?” Shi Junhe pretended to ask casually.Quan didn’t doubt him and replied, “No. His Majesty approved…”
After seeing Mo Junyang, Shi Junhe didn’t beat around the bush and asked, “What’s the matter with the two imperial edicts? Why did His Majesty agree so soon?”Mo Junyang told Shi Junhe to sit down and then personally poured him a cup of tea. Then he responded unhurriedly, “Soon? Isn’t it the same as what we expected?“Lady Baojing and the second prince love each other, and we just told His Majesty about it. Then Qingxue asked the Empress Dowager for mercy, so the marriage was decided. And His Majesty would naturally issue the imperial edict these days.”“Fine. Even if the marriage of Baojing and His Highness can be decided easily, what about my official position?“His Majesty suspected me a lot earlier. Can he stop suspecting just because of the marriage? And he even gave me the title of General of the State. Doesn’t he fear that I will threaten the throne this time?” Nobody knew if it was because he spoke to Mo Junyang, and Shi Ju
Leng Yan sat on her knees in front of Mo Shujun all the time but didn’t feel tired. She even looked up and explained carefully, “Princess Royal, look. Now Lady Baojing would marry the second prince. Although his mother has passed away, he was still raised by Concubine Tao.”“Even so, what does it have to do with us?” Mo Shujun looked down upon Shi Baojing who was a concubine’s daughter and didn’t think highly of a prince who was unknown to public in the imperial palace.She would just let them get married, which was not worthy of expecting.But Leng Yan didn’t think so. She reminded cautiously, “Princess Royal, why don’t you think that the second prince is a force?”“Oh?” Mo Shujun finally got interested and stared at Leng Yan, silently ordering her to continue.“A lean camel is bigger than a horse. If we help the fourth prince win over the second prince, then wouldn’t the fourth prince have a greater chance to win the
Shi Qingxue had been exposed by Shi Junhe for twice, and she was too powerless to ask him how he found it.She had to crane her neck and tried to struggle, insisting. “I told the truth. Mother really misses you. If you don’t believe me, you can go back to ask her.”Shi Junhe didn’t care when Shi Qingxue prodded him into action. “How can I be unclear about your mother’s character? Even if she really misses me, she wouldn’t tell you her feelings. Don’t fool me.”He sat in the chair and remained unmoved.“Father!” Shi Qingxue smiled flatteringly again and blinked innocently.Generally, once she acted like this, showing her master stroke to him, even if Shi Junhe was reluctant to admit defeats, he would make her wish come true.However, this time, Shi Junhe looked impassive and even waved at her impatiently, as if driving away flies. “Fine. There’s nothing that you can do here. Just go out to have fun by yours
Dong Hui was startled and speechless, looking at Shi Junhe in a daze.Shi Junhe didn’t play dumb and asked with a bitter smile, “Do you dare to say that nothing happened between you and Yan Lü, and you are innocent?”“It’s true. That night I just…” Dong Hui thought that Shi Junhe was mad because he misunderstood what happened that night, so she was anxious to give him an explanation.However, Shi Junhe just shook his head and asked impassively, “Have I told you that I don’t want you to meet Yan Lü?”Dong Hui stiffened and had to nod, yet soon she explained, “But it happened for a reason that night. Listen to my explanation.”“Fine, stop. I don’t want to know what was going on that night.” Shi Junhe waved his hand wearily and didn’t want to listen to Dong Hui.Because it was pointless.No matter if something happened between Dong Hui and Yan Lü, it didn’t matter anymore.The people
Dong Hui sat on the bed in a daze and looked expressionless. Her face was stiff like a statue.It scared Mammy Zheng and Shi Baoning a lot. They pinched her palm and beat her chest.After quite a while, they finally made Dong Hui come to her senses.“Ah!” Dong Hui cried out loudly at once and held Mammy Zheng tightly. She didn’t know what she should do.Mammy Zheng also cried and hugged Dong Hui, advising, “Madam, just listen to me. Don’t be stubborn. Go to ask His Lordship to forgive you. You are a couple for so many years, and he won’t tell you to go back to your parents’ home.”Dong Hui cried and her eyes were red, but hearing Mammy Zheng’s advice, she stiffened and didn’t say anything.Mammy Zheng noticed her hesitation at a glance and felt anxious and angry, yet she could do nothing as Dong Hui was stubborn.Then she warned in a cold voice, “Madam, if you are still stubborn, you have to r
