Shi Qingxue was always “generous” on such things.
If Mo Junyang didn’t feel like talking, she would never push him to speak.
Because she knew if she insisted on asking, he would never keep her in the dark no matter how unwilling he was.
However, she also didn’t like him doing things he disliked because of her.
It was rare for Mo Junyang to be in the mood to explain, so she nodded repeatedly and said, “Yes, yes! Will you talk?”
At first, Mo Junyang just looked into her eyes seriously but he looked away a little embarrassedly.
A long moment later, it seemed he finally plucked up the courage. He said in a hoarse voice, “Because I hated him for coveting you.”
“What?” Shi Qingxue was completely startled by his so-called excuse.
She couldn’t help laughing and saying, “Are you kidding?”
Mo Junyang knitted his eyebrows and said, “You don’t believe it, right?”
Xiao Qijun smiled at Yan Xu soothingly and said in a soft voice, “It’s not as tough as you think, Lord Yan. Maybe it’s a heaven-sent chance to you.”“Why do you say that?” Yan Xu didn’t understand what Xiao Qijun was talking about, but he looked at him with expectation.Xiao Qijun said, “His Excellency has taken an account book to query you before, and it bothers you, right? Since Supervisor Ye’s wife happened to hang herself at the gate, why don’t we use it as an excuse that it was him who feathered his nest and she killed herself for fear of punishment?”Yan Xu’s eyes were lightened and turned gloomy again. “Will they believe it?”There were too many loopholes in this saying. Anyone who was not stupid wouldn’t believe such a saying.But Xiao Qijun said, “The point is not whether they believe it or not, but we need to give them a reason.“All you need to do is explain it, not making them believe it
Mo Junyang’s face didn’t change color after Mo Junzhan’s blame. He squinted at Ye Zhixin coldly.He said coldly, “Tears can do nothing. It can’t bring your mother back to life or avenge her.”Mo Junyang’s voice was not loud, but each word stabbed the heart.Ye Zhixin was rendered speechless. She stared at Mo Junyang without a word.Mo Junyang said again, “I have given you a chance to tell us the truth, but you didn’t out of some unknown reason. The truth is that you didn’t tell us anything. Now that you’ve given up the idea of telling the truth, why do you complain that no one takes revenge for you?”Ye Zhixin’s tears rolled down again. She was helpless and pathetic. “I know. I know. But I really can’t. I can’t say anything!”She was bathed in tears and collapsed on the ground.Maybe she was moved by Mo Junyang’s words. She didn’t expect other people to save her but was immersed in deep
After knowing their purpose, Mo Junzhan cooperated with them perfectly.On the same day, he told Yan Xu that Madam Ye had died of the epidemic.Even though Yan Xu said that the epidemic in Jiangzhou City had been eliminated, Mo Junzhan insisted on this “fact” and arbitrarily demanded investigating the epidemic in the city.His reason was sufficient. “You can’t even give us a final prescription. How can you have the face to say that the epidemic has been eliminated?”Yan Xu was rendered speechless by the question.When the epidemic here was the most serious, nearly one fourth of the people in Jiangzhou City died.However, it seemed to prove the saying that things always reversed themselves after reaching an extreme. In a short time, the epidemic became weaker and was eliminated unexpectedly in the end before there was medicine.Many people survived for no reason.It was like
Mo Junyang and Shi Qingxue fell into silence and just hugged each other. They had nothing to say.“Look, look. What have I seen?”A sarcastic voice suddenly came from behind them.They looked back, to see that Yan Xu stood behind them and smiled at them obscenely.Shi Qingxue wasn’t used to showing affection in front of others, so she got out of Mo Junyang’s arms in a hurry and looked at Yan Xu with a frown.However, in Yan Xu’s eyes, her normal behavior showed her guilty conscience.Yan Xu had a brighter smile.“Isn’t it improper that you show affection as if nobody were around?”Although Shi Qingxue was bold, she blushed shyly as somebody pointed it out directly.She goggled at Yan Xu with displeasure, “It’s none of your business.”Even though she behaved openly, the people in Mo Country were open-minded, and she was engaged to Mo Junyang, so it
Mo Junyang raised his eyes and glanced at Shi Qingxue, with ridicule in his stiff expression.Shi Qingxue was so shy that she wanted to withdraw her hand.“I haven’t rubbed it enough. Don’t move randomly.” Mo Junyang grasped her hand and didn’t give her a chance to dodge.Shi Qingxue pouted and whispered resentfully, “I didn’t ask you to do this.”Mo Junyang chuckled. “Right. I volunteered to do this, okay?”In the end, he even kissed the back of the fair-skinned hand gently.The warm feeling made Qingxue’s heart beat fast, and her face blushed in an instant. She questioned while stuttering, “What...What are you doing?”Her voice was as low as a mosquito’s, and it was sweet, without the momentum of questioning.Mo Junyang didn’t retreat after being rebuked but gripped Qingxue’s hand steadily. He had a faint smile on his cold lips, leaning forward.“What do you
Jiangzhou City was not big, but there were many mountains in the south, and the transportation was poor, so the villages and towns in this area were many and scattered, and it was not easy to sum up the people who died of the epidemic.Shi Qingxue didn’t stop because she wanted to sum up all the data as soon as possible, yet Mo Junyang got impatient while waiting.The man’s eyes were deep, and it seemed that he had a plan.He said, “Yan Xu has known my identity, so he will be more alert. I must check the place where the epidemic started before he has time to arrange everything.”Shi Qingxue had guessed that Mo Junyang would do that, so she had no objection yet stated, “I will go with you.”“No need. I will just go to see the surviving common people and ask them what happened then. There is nothing serious, but your job is more important. I hope that you can sort out all the information of the whole Jiangzhou Cit
Shi Qingxue returned to her room and wanted to continue with her job.However, after she wrote for only a little while, she started to be absent-minded as she saw that it was getting dark gradually.After she finished some words, she couldn’t help but raise her head and look out of the window. There was nobody outside, and it was so quiet that they could hear the sound of a needle falling.She was in a daze for a few seconds and then forced herself to pay attention to the paper again, continuing to write.After nearly one hour, she finished nothing.However, Shi Qingxue didn’t find it but forced herself to continue.Dong Shuang couldn’t bear to see that. She said in a soft voice involuntarily, “My Lady, it’s evening now. Shall we have dinner first?”“I am not hungry,” Shi Qingxue answered without thinking.Dong Shuang advised, “Have a rest. You have written for one day.”
Shi Qingxue’s eyes became cold at once.She stared at Wei Zichao and asked, stressing each word, “Zichao, tell me frankly. What did Mo Junyang tell you before leaving?”Since Shi Qingxue got close to Mo Junyang, she called him Junyang generally, but she could hardly restrain her anger now, so her tone became stiff.Wei Zichao felt the difference and stiffened, yet he relaxed soon and answered in a mechanical tone, “Nothing.”He was unwilling to reveal what his master told him, while his answer proved Shi Qingxue’s guess.Shi Qingxue laughed although she was angry. “He didn’t tell you anything but you stopped me repeatedly. Do you want to say that you made a decision without authorization?”Wei Zichao was speechless.He was retorted and forced a bitter smile after a long time. “My Lady, since you have guessed, please don’t make things difficult for me.”Shi Qingxue agreed wi
