“Ahem!”
Shi Qingxue knew that something bad would happen, so before Mo Junyang spoke, she coughed twice and interrupted the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper looked at Shi Qingxue in confusion. “Girl, what’s wrong?”
Shi Qingxue secretly glanced at the shopkeeper to ask for help and begged in a low voice, “Sir, I know that you are kind-hearted, but he is my husband. If you make him unhappy, he will get mad at me later. Please stop, okay?”
After hearing that, the shopkeeper thought that it was true.
Then he stopped talking and just glared at Mo Junyang with disdain before continuing to make the sesame seed cakes.
He said to Shi Qingxue in a soft voice, “Good girl, I will give you one more cake in secret later and won’t let him see it. Just eat to your satisfaction.”
Shi Qingxue hurriedly showed a bright smile. “Thanks, Sir.”
They talked like whispering, yet Mo Junyang had sharp ears
“I have to start with the late emperor’s death two months ago...” The waiter in the hotel started the conversation and talked vividly.“Before his death, it had been raining heavily for one month successively in Jiangzhou City. It was a calamity that we haven’t seen in the past one thousand years.“In the beginning, all people lived a hard life till the news of the late emperor’s death came. It seemed that God felt sad for him, and the rain was more horrible. The Ganjiang River in Jiangzhou couldn’t bear it but burst its banks.“After all, Ganjiang River is a great river. As it burst its banks, less than half of the city was drowned, and the low-lying areas became oceans. The luckier ones fled and became refugees, while the unfortunate ones were swallowed by the flood and their dead bodies couldn’t be found.”When the waiter talked about the flood in Jiangzhou, he seemed to tell a romaunt and got more excited while speaking.
When Shi Qingxue talked with the waiter, Mo Junyang kept silent from beginning to end.However, with Mo Junyang’s character, if he really talked with ease and fluency to the waiter, it would be surprising.When Shi Qingxue asked him, he seemed to be still lost in thought. After a while, he realized her question but asked, “How do you think those people disappear for no reason?”Shi Qingxue knew well about Mo Junyang and wasn’t surprised at his reaction, so she didn’t get angry but spoke out her opinion.“The saying about River God is unreliable. Since the waiter saw the robbers on horseback, it must be true, but...”She looked hesitant and expressed after a while, “I always think that this thing is strange, yet I can’t figure out what is wrong for now. You...”Qingxue looked up at Mo Junyang with expectancy, and there was trust that she didn’t find in her eyes.She subconsciously though
The reason why Mo Junyang stayed on the roof at night was circuitous yet not complicated.In the final analysis, he considered for Shi Qingxue’s safety.It was his style to be so reserved.Shi Qingxue knew that and couldn’t even reproach Mo Junyang as he didn’t love himself. She had to glare at him.However, she was like an idiot and felt sad for him.“Asshole!”Shi Qingxue cursed angrily and turned around to push the door, entering her room.After she entered, she stood for a while with her back to the door. It was silent all the time behind her.She hesitated for a while and still looked back, to see that Mo Junyang still stood at the door blankly. There was no emotion on his face, but seen from his eyes, he was at a loss seemingly.Shi Qingxue shouted at the door crossly, “Why are you standing there? Why not come in quickly?”Mo Junyang was hesi
Hearing Mo Junyang’s words, Shi Qingxue knew that no matter what choice she made, he could control the situation.So she nodded without hesitation.Then she asked, “What’s another way?”Mo Junyang casually threw the iron box to the ground and raised his hand to draw the long sword on Wei Ziye’s waist, slashing something with it.Shi Qingxue watched Mo Junyang slash it, with her eyes widening in an instant.Till there was a sound of metal collision, Shi Qingxue came back to earth.Mo Junyang slashed that iron box.Shi Qingxue heaved a sigh of relief, with countless questions in her head.“What are you doing?” Shi Qingxue was shocked and angry.She almost thought that Mo Junyang prepared to stab the girl with the sword.Mo Junyang didn’t answer but pointed to the iron box on the ground. “Have a look.”“What?” Shi Qingxue asked in reply s
As Mo Junyang saw that Shi Qingxue, a pure girl became a mature and coquettish young woman, the corners of his mouth twitched indistinctly.In the end, he had to ask helplessly with a smile, “What do you want to do?”Shi Qingxue smiled slyly. “Don’t worry. I can handle it. Just stay in the carriage and watch the young lady, in case that there is something wrong with her.”She had a feeling that the young girl lying in the carriage might be a big shot.After being in the line for nearly one hour, it was their turn to enter the city.A guard dressed in soldiers’ clothes walked forward lazily. Looking at the carriage, he asked Wei Ziye, like a boss, “Who is inside?”Wei Ziye had been instructed by Shi Qingxue, so he restrained his momentum and answered politely, “Sir, my masters are inside.”“Lift the curtain and let me see,” the guard ordered.Afterward, he raised his hand to
Shi Qingxue was stunned for a while and opened her almond eyes slightly, as if she were shocked by Mo Junyang’s heroic words.Her stiff expression seemed to complain why Mo Junyang could say something so shameful.If Mo Junyang didn’t hear Shi Qingxue’s bold words, only judging from her big bright eyes, he would wonder whether he said something wrong.He wouldn’t be fooled by Shi Qingxue easily this time.He looked at her coldly in silence.Shi Qingxue tilted her head slightly, as if lost in thought.She kept quiet for a while and then looked at Mo Junyang seriously, saying in a vague tone involuntarily,“So...how about we are like clandestine lovers?”Mo Junyang’s brows trembled.“Ahem!”A series of coughs were from outside suddenly and interrupted the weird atmosphere in the carriage.Shi Qingxue finally realized that this carriage w
After Wei Ziye got the prescription and medicinal herbs, he held Ye Zhixin who was still unconscious and left.He wasn’t afraid that the old doctor would give him wrong medicinal materials to cheat him. Anyway, the clinic was here, and the doctor couldn’t run away.If there was something wrong, he would come back at the worst.Wei Ziye went back to the house and told somebody to decoct medicinal herbs for Ye Zhixin. Then he reported what he had seen and heard to the two masters.“She is really a young lady from an official’s family.” Shi Qingxue was surprised as she had guessed right.Moreover, when they came to investigate in Jiangzhou, an official’s daughter with injuries all over her body suddenly showed up at the critical moment, which would make people doubt that there was something fishy.Shi Qingxue and Mo Junyang looked at each other. Mo Junyang asked Wei Ziye, “Where is the supervisor Ye Zh
The scar-faced man hesitated for a moment and then a trick came into his mind. He looked excited surprisingly.He secretly pulled the tall man to an alley and whispered in his ear, “How about we go back and tell the boss that they have left Jiangzhou City?“Look. Anyway, the boss just doesn’t want these people to be in the way. If they leave, won’t he be satisfied?”The tall man rolled his eyes and rebuked crossly, “If you still want to keep your head, I advise you to give up this unrealistic plan earlier.”Seeing that the scar-faced man looked at him blankly, the tall man continued to curse, “Think about what kind of person our boss is. He has not only two runners, us. His spies are everywhere in the city. Can we fool him by saying only a few words randomly?”The scar-faced man remembered their boss’s methods, so he was scared and didn’t dare to say anything.He just asked in depression, “What shou
