“Mo, Mo Junyang!” Shi Qingxue cried out in a daze.
She hadn’t expected that this man would show up here and happen to help her out of the embarrassment.
Mo Junyang just smiled at her gently. “It’s me. Were you injured?”
Shi Qingxue shook her head blankly.
“I will carry you to get changed, okay?”
She nodded in a trance.
For a moment, only Mo Junyang was left in her eyes, and she forgot anything else.
Mo Junyang naturally wouldn’t mention it. He just glanced at Wenren Chi casually and ignored him when he tried to speak but stopped himself. He directly carried Shi Qingxue away.
It was none of his business how the two would end this.
He carried Qingxue to his carriage, and her daily clothes had been prepared inside earlier.
Seeing that Qingxue still looked confused, Mo Junyang was angry with her as she was not alert, and meanwhile he was happy because of her
At night, in the Shou’an Hall.Leng Yan was doing embroidery slowly in her bedroom under the dim oil lamp on the table.Suddenly the oil lamp was blown out by the wind.Leng Yan was frightened and hurriedly took out a firelighter from her pocket, planning to light the oil lamp again.At the moment, the sound of opening the door came into the quiet room, and then some low footsteps were heard.“Who is it?” Leng Yan turned around and looked at the door, asking in a low voice.There was no answer, and the sounds stopped.In the darkness, Leng Yan couldn’t see anything. With sweat on her back and palms in fear, she still forced herself to calm down. Then she asked, “Rou’er, are you back? Say something!”“Rou’er” didn’t answer, but the footsteps in the room appeared again and approached her gradually. Then they got close to her.Leng Yan couldn’t insist anymore and turned
Shi Juncai told Mo Shujun directly, “She is carrying my baby now.”“What?”Mo Shujun was petrified this time, and even Leng Yan looked shocked and glared at Shi Juncai in disbelief.Mo Shujun came to her senses soon. Seeing that, she thought that Shi Juncai talked nonsense, so she raised her hand, trying to beat him again.Shi Juncai wasn’t afraid but craned his neck. “If you don’t believe me, you can ask her if her menstruation stops for two months. I have calculated the dates last time…”Mo Shujun was stunned.She didn’t know if she should be surprised as a man knew a woman’s privacy, the menstruation or sigh because Shi Juncai could take the opportunity.After quite a while, Mo Shujun came back to reality gradually and turned to Leng Yan. The maid also looked scared yet didn’t deny Shi Juncai’s words.It meant…Seeing that his master card worked, Shi Juncai got com
“Tell…the first master.” Leng Yan repeated Rou’er’s words and started to think about the feasibility of this suggestion.Rou’er nodded repeatedly and looked more excited. “Right, right! If the first master knows this matter, he wouldn’t let Princess Royal and the others fulfill this plot. Then you just need to ask him to show mercy and you won’t marry him with a grievance. Perhaps he will make you get rid of the identity as a slave and find a place for you as he is soft-hearted.”The words “get rid of the identity as a slave” mentioned what Leng Yan desired most.She felt tempted involuntarily, but thinking of Mo Shujun’s methods, she was scared and shook her head repeatedly. “If Princess Royal knows that I reveal the secret, she won’t let me go!”She would be skinned alive at least, and she might even have a living death.Leng Yan had been working for Mo Shujun for so many years and seen her punish the servants who di
Hearing that Shi Junhe had a request, Mo Shujun got unhappy, but since he had agreed with her, she still controlled herself and planned to listen to him first. What on earth did he want to do?“What do you want?”Shi Junhe pursed his lips and pondered for a while. Then he replied, “I hope that I can marry her as a concubine in a low profile. Don’t spread the news or let all people know it. Can you promise me, Mother?”Mo Shujun pondered for a moment and soon understood why Shi Junhe asked her to do that.Although she was resentful as Shi Junhe still considered for Dong Hui, she didn’t want to make the bad relationship between her and her son worse, so she nodded in agreement.“Since you requested that, I can promise you.” Mo Shujun nodded at leisure.Then she made her requirement naturally. “But I demand you to marry Leng Yan in five days.”Shi Junhe was stunned and asked, “Why are you so anxi
The people in the East House were determined to keep it a secret as Leng Yan would get married and move in. All people shut their mouths.Not to mention the outsiders, few people in the mansion knew that Leng Yan would move to the East House in three days.Some people knew it and remained mute as if their mouths were sealed as they were afraid that Shi Qingxue would find that they were gossiping.Since Shi Junhe agreed to marry her, Leng Yan started to dream about being a happy concubine, but unexpectedly, after a few days, few people congratulated or flattered her. Even when she bumped into some people on the way, their bantering eyes seemed to take off her clothes as they would watch a play.It embarrassed and depressed her.However, after Mo Shujun promised Shi Junhe not to spread the news, she didn’t care and remained unmoved when she watched others laugh at Leng Yan.Leng Yan finally couldn’t endure i
It was Mo Shujun’s first time to be interrupted, yet she didn’t get angry. Instead, she just looked at Ouyang Yuxin indifferently. “Madam Dong, what do you want to tell me?”Ouyang Yuxin showed a cold face and rebuked angrily, “When your son married my daughter, he promised that he would never have a concubine. We didn’t bother about his concubine’s daughter, but you dare to tell him to take another concubine. Do you think that the members of the Dong family can be bullied easily?”Dong Hui’s mother was quick-tongued and said a lot.Unexpectedly, Mo Shujun didn’t even want to glance at Ouyang Yuxin, and she responded loftily, “That was in the past, and it’s different now. When Dong got married, she didn’t say that she would make our family have no descendant.”The biggest impiety was having no descendant.The descendant was not a child but a boy who could inherit the title of nobility.Dong Hui didn’t give
Dong Biren looked into the distance, with nostalgia in his deep eyes.After a long time, he stated, “Shi Lei replied that he learnt it from me. It’s said that things of a kind come together and people of a mind fall into the same group, so he was the same kind of person as me…“Listen. He just acted shamelessly.”Dong Biren said the last words with a smile after he turned to Shi Qingxue.Before Shi Qingxue responded, he continued, “At that time, I said he was captious, but he didn’t admit it and insisted that what he said was the truth, and he asked me to find a reason to retort him. He even argued that if I, a Confucian scholar couldn’t find an argument, then it proved that he was right.”Shi Qingxue didn’t know that Shi Lei was so fun when he was young, and she was anxious to know more. “Grandpa, did you find a reason to retort him?”Dong Biren glanced at Shi Qingxue gloomily and asked in reply, “Didn’t
Three days later, Duke Shi’s mansion was decorated with lanterns and colored hangings, in a festive atmosphere.After Mo Shujun fell out with Shi Junhe in the Dong family’s mansion, she became brazen.She broke her promise that she wouldn’t let everybody know about Shi Junhe’s marriage to a concubine.Now all people in the mansion knew that the maid Leng Yan would marry the first master as his concubine, and some people were jealous of her.Some people were happy and some were sad.Early in the morning, Shi Qingxue prepared to go out. When she walked out of the East House, she saw that Shi Jie rushed in with a letter in his hand hastily. He even forgot to bow to her after seeing her and just ran to the study.Qingxue was confused and subconsciously told him to stop.“What is it in your hand?”Shi Jie seemed to finally notice Shi Qingxue in front of him. His face stiffened, and he
