Mammy Zheng showed a smile on her old face, but there was no smile in her eyes. “His Lordship is busy taking care of Madam these days, and he is not free to come, so he specially told me to send a message to you and the first young master, My Lady.”
Shi Qingxue got up and leered at Mammy Zheng, asking casually, “What message?”
“His Lordship has said that Madam is worried so much about the second young master, and they tire themselves to take care of him and name him these days, so they don’t have time to take care of one more baby. They asked you to continue looking after the first young master before Madam recovers.”
Shi Qingxue had no objection to looking after her brother, yet she still couldn’t help but frown after hearing Mammy Zheng’s words. “Name him? My parents have named my brothers? What are their names?”
Mammy Zheng smiled insincerely. “How dare I call the young master’s name?”
She intentionally prete
Shi Qingxue clenched her fists hidden in her sleeves and almost couldn’t help but question Dong Hui, yet she saw that her mother’s thin body trembled slightly when she spoke.So she got soft-hearted again at once.She knew that Dong Hui was sick. Why would she bother about a patient?Perhaps Shi Junhe chose to keep silent just because he considered Dong Hui’s feelings.Shi Qingxue pursed her lips and gradually understood Shi Junhe’s hard effort, so she didn’t continue to force him to give a name to her first brother.However, was it proper as her little brother had a name while the other didn’t have one?Now Mammy Zheng dared to mention the first young master of the Shi family with disdain. If the news spread that the masters of the Shi family were unwilling to name the first young master, his status in the mansion in the future could be imagined.Shi Qingxue didn’t allow something like
Shi Qingxue who was packing up looked back and saw the comer.She called in surprise, “Brother?”After that, Shi Qingxue realized something and added with a smile, “You are my brother-in-law now.”These words were a joke with closeness obviously.Wenren Chi would joke with her or pretend to teach her a lesson seriously in the past, but he would never merely look at her with an unusual expression like today.Shi Qingxue’s face stiffened. “Brother, what’s wrong?”Wenren Chi shook his head silently and waved at Shi Qingxue, gesturing for her to come over. With their relationship now, he couldn’t enter her bedroom randomly like he did before.Even though Shi Qingxue used to be his “sister”, she was his sister-in-law now.Shi Qingxue didn’t think about so much but followed Wenren Chi obediently and went out to the courtyard.They walked to a phoenix tree and stood u
Xia Mang looked at Shi Qingxue and asked hesitantly, “My Lady, did you hear what they said?”Shi Qingxue stopped packing up and then looked back in confusion. “What’s wrong?”Xia Mang’s expression darkened at once, and she replied cautiously, as she was afraid that Shi Qingxue would be irritated. “You... In fact, there is nothing. You are nice, nice, so...”Xia Mang said vaguely, and Shi Qingxue listened with difficulty.After hearing that, Shi Qingxue was stunned.She looked at Xia Mang in a daze, while the latter was at a loss as she thought that she mentioned what was on the young lady’s mind and made her sad.“What are you thinking about?” Shi Qingxue was able neither to cry nor to laugh.Then Xia Mang was dumbfounded.Shi Qingxue continued to sigh helplessly. “It’s so far away from the courtyard here. No matter how sharp my ears are, I couldn’t hear clearly what they w
Shen Luo wiped away the sweat on his forehead and shook his head. “I don’t know. Let’s wait and see. But he will be fine if he doesn’t vomit the medicine.”He was still worried and then told a young assistant to decoct the medicinal herbs as he did just now. Then he told the wet nurse, “Stay with him. Feed him medicine if he vomits again. No matter what happens, we have to make him take in medicine.”The wet nurse’s family name was Guo, and she was hired by Mo Junyang, so she naturally acted upon whatever Shen Luo said. “I see.”Shen Luo turned his head, to see that Shi Qingxue looked pale and her thin and weak body trembled slightly with fear or worry.“My Lady, you didn’t sleep last night. Go and have a rest for a while,” Shen Luo advised in a soft voice.Shi Qingxue responded without raising her head, “I am fine. Doctor Shen, if you are tired, just have a rest in a guest room, but please stay in this villa ti
Only one brother?Shi Qingxue exploded at once after hearing Dong Hui’s words.She couldn’t control herself anymore but questioned loudly, “Mother, as you say something like this, what do you think Qingmin is? How can you bear to treat your biological child in this way?”Her two questions were straightforward and piercing, making Dong Hui’s smile frozen on her face. She looked at Shi Qingxue in embarrassment and couldn’t speak.After recuperating for nearly one month, Dong Hui got much better than she had been when she gave birth to the babies. Although she was still unwilling to admit that the “monster” was her son, when somebody questioned her, she looked awkward inevitably.For a moment, all people in the room stopped talking and laughing, and they were quiet and confused.Dong Biren didn’t understand Shi Qingxue’s words. “Who is Qingmin? Isn’t Hui’s son named Tianyou?”After hearing
Shi Junhe had tears in his eyes. Sadness and helplessness filled his pupils, and Shi Qingxue felt heartbroken to see that.Qingxue had never seen Shi Junhe show such complicated emotions. Even though she had nowhere to vent her depression, she couldn’t bear to make things difficult for her father.But Qingmin...“If you worry that the environments in all the villas of our family are not good enough, I can buy another villa which is fit to live in and then send the most capable servants and those good at taking care of a baby in our mansion to the villa. And we will provide food, clothes and daily necessities in time. Anyway, I won’t make Qingmin suffer.”Shi Junhe correctly guessed what Shi Qingxue was worried about and made the best arrangements.“Don’t worry. Qingmin is my son. I won’t treat him unfairly anyway. Just trust me, okay?”Since Shi Junhe begged Shi Qingxue in a humble tone, she had to
Shi Qingxue was surprised to hear Mo Junyang’s words. “I thought that you didn’t know it until the truth was exposed.”Mo Junyang sneered and shook his head. “If I hadn’t known it until then, I might have died for thousands of times without knowing why.”“So you...” Shi Qingxue pursed her lips and suddenly thought that she didn’t know what to say.So she stopped talking and listened to Mo Junyang carefully.“In the previous life, after King Rui’s wife died, the emperor didn’t know my relationship with him, so he just took me as a hostage to control my father and raised me in the imperial palace, telling the other princes to bully me willfully as long as they didn’t take my life.“Those days, I lived a hard life.”Mo Junyang just casually described his most miserable period of life as “a hard life”, yet Shi Qingxue knew that he had suffered much more than what he said.And she didn’t eve
Shi Qingxue was confused and wanted to talk with somebody, yet she found that Mo Junyang was busy these days and hadn’t been to the Lanxun Villa for a period.Even though she had a lot of questions, she couldn’t talk with anybody.As soon as she had this thought, she couldn’t help but disdain herself.She and Mo Junyang would do their own jobs when they were busy, and it was normal that they didn’t see each other.In the past, she didn’t think that there was nothing wrong, but as she hadn’t seen him for many days suddenly, she was uncomfortable and had a feeling of loss.“Gee, I am really spoilt.”Shi Qingxue pouted with displeasure.Even she couldn’t tell whether she was unhappy with Mo Junyang or herself.Mo Junyang was not here, nor did she want to talk with somebody else, so she put everything aside in the end.She would play to the score.When
