Shi Qingxue was worried about the stiff relationship between Mo Junyang and Dong Hui, but Mo Junyang still looked carefree and not worried at all, so she couldn't explain her worries to him.
Even looking at Mo Junyang's relaxation, she couldn't help but relax, putting aside all the so-called hidden dangers, and the two simply enjoyed flowers and tea in the backyard.
Until the housekeeper of the other courtyard hurriedly came to report: Mrs. Shi Guogong is here.
Shi Qingxue stood up in shock, and a close-up of 'Dead' appeared in her mind.
Mo Junyang seemed to have nothing to do, and asked the housekeeper to invite someone in. At the same time, he looked at Qingxue teasingly, "You act with a guilty conscience, as if we are having an affair. Don't be so anxious, right?"
Shi Qingxue: "..." You are the only one who has an affair, and your whole family has an affair!
She almost yelled at Mo Junyang, but she thought of something and finally didn't say it. She just lowered her head in disinterest and fiddled with the tea bowl in front of her.
Dong Hui came in quickly and spoke before she saw anyone: "Thank you for your hospitality, Your Majesty. I and Qingxue are both grateful..."
Before he finished speaking, when he saw the two people sitting quietly facing each other in the distance, they were completely silent, with expressions of ghosts on their faces.
Shi Qingxue couldn't bear to look directly.
"Why are you here?" Dong Hui walked quickly to Qingxue and asked coldly, not caring about etiquette.
Mo Junyang responded as a matter of course, "This is my prince's other courtyard. What's wrong with me being here?"
Dong Hui: "Where is Prince Wu?"
She looked around, trying to find people from Duke Wu's mansion.
Mo Junyang saw what she was looking for and reminded him calmly: "No need to look, he won't come."
"Why not? We all have an appointment..."
Dong Hui's voice stopped suddenly, she looked at Mo Junyang in shock, and blurted out: "You planned all of this!"
He said it confidently, and then he remembered the previous missed appointments. He couldn't tell whether he was shocked or angry, and almost rudely shouted to Mo Junyang: "It was you who was doing the trick before, you..."
"Mother!" Shi Qingxue quickly stopped Dong Hui's words and defended Mo Junyang in a low voice, "I didn't want to meet those people in the first place, and Brother Yang is not considered a prankster!"
Dong Hui was about to go crazy because of Shi Qingxue's support. She scolded him without hesitation: "Shut up, you have no right to speak here."
Shi Qingxue shrank back after being yelled at, her little face turned red from suppressing it, and she tried not to really cry, but her eyes were already red. But this time Dong Hui didn't seem to feel distressed at all, and was so strong that she pulled Shi Qingxue away and was about to go out.
"Wait a minute." Mo Junyang stood sideways in front of the two of them, his face expressionless and frighteningly cold.
Even though Dong Hui was more than twenty years older than him, she was frightened by his expression and took a big step back, "You, what do you want to do?"
After stammering the question, Dong Huicai seemed to have a little more courage. He puffed up his chest and shouted in a loud voice: "Prince Mo, I want to take my daughter home now. Isn't this too much to ask? Or the prince must wait." Will he be released only after my master comes?"
They moved Shi Junhe out just to scare off Mo Junyang, but Dong Hui obviously underestimated Mo Junyang.
Mo Junyang is not even afraid of today. He is just a Duke of Shi. If it were not for Shi Qingxue's face, he would not take him seriously at all.
But before he could speak, Shi Qingxue, who was standing behind Dong Hui, secretly waved her hand towards him with red eyes and made a 'no' gesture with her small mouth.
A pitiful plea.
Mo Junyang didn't speak any more. He took a half step back and made a gesture of invitation, which was polite and thoughtful.
Dong Hui grabbed Qingxue's hand roughly and left as if she didn't see it.
"Mother, mother, mother..." Shi Qingxue was almost dragged into the carriage, and her white wrists were scratched red by Dong Hui.
Dong Hui turned a blind eye and warned with a cold face: "I won't argue with you since you don't know about this today. But from now on, I won't allow you to see Mo Junyang again. Do you hear me?"
The two mothers and daughters have discussed this topic many times. Dong Hui's attitude has become tougher every time, and Shi Qingxue has also gone from being unconcerned at the beginning to being in disbelief now.
Shi Qingxue looked at Dong Hui seriously, "Why? Where did he provoke you? Don't forget that at my grandmother's birthday party last year, he was the one who came to the rescue so that the party could go on smoothly, and Qingluo Mountain Things…”
Even if Mo Junyang is not a good person, he is definitely a great kindness to the Shi family.
Dong Hui's face froze, she was stabbed in the foot, and she said angrily: "Don't think that Prince Rui really likes you because he did so many things. His tricks are all tricks to coax the little girl. Don't be fooled." 'Love' goes to your head!"
A certain 'little girl' who is almost forty years old in her two lifetimes: "..."
Shi Qingxue never doubted Mo Junyang's thoughts towards her, and said firmly: "No, anyone can lie to me, but he won't."
This was a fact that she had only seen clearly in two lifetimes, but Dong Hui really thought she was confused and was so angry that she even cursed him, "What a bastard, he approaches you and pleases you not because of your father's power, he Basically, he just wants to win over you and make your father do things for him.
He was so generous in helping us before because he was deliberately planning to show favors in return, trying to bribe us with small favors. "
Shi Qingxue looked at Dong Hui in disbelief. It was unimaginable that Mo Junyang's kindness would be so unbearable that even she couldn't bear to listen.
"What are you talking about? Mo Junyang would never do such a thing!" Shi Qingxue understood the man's arrogance better than anyone else.
In her previous life, Mo Junyang was in the quagmire and was bullied but was unwilling to bow to anyone. How could she use such despicable means to get what she wanted? What's more, she was 100% sure who was making things difficult for her.
Dong Hui had a determined look on her face, as if she was saying that no matter what you say, I won't believe you.
She took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and then said: "So what if he shows kindness and expects it to be repaid? The kind of person who shows kindness without expecting it to be repaid is suspicious! Besides, he is from His Highness the Crown Prince. In order to consolidate the It’s normal for the crown prince to win over us.”
Dong Hui, however, scolded Qingxue bloody because of these words, "What do you know! His Majesty is already afraid of his ministers forming cliques for personal gain, and you let him get close to those princes. Do you want to kill your father?"
"Of course not." Shi Qingxue denied.
It's just that the Shi family is destined to choose a side, and of course they have to choose the final winner.
Dong Hui sneered, her face full of disdain for Mo Junyang, "No, that's weird! And he didn't do so much for His Highness, he had other motives."
Shi Qingxue paused, and all the chaotic thoughts finally seemed to find an outlet. She asked cautiously: "Mom, have you heard any rumors?"
Dong Hui was full of complaints and wanted to tell Shi Qingxue that it would be best for her stupid daughter to leave Mo Junyang from now on, but looking at Qingxue's cautious appearance, she didn't want her to be exposed to such dirty things.
He just said coldly: "Don't worry about what my mother knows. In short, my mother will not lie to you or harm you. That Mo Junyang has a big heart."
"Impossible!" Shi Qingxue categorically rejected Dong Hui's unrealistic conjecture and said seriously: "Brother Yang has always been law-abiding and will never have any disobedience."
She searched hard, trying to give an example to convince Dong Hui, but found that there were some things that couldn't be explained with examples, so she could only say helplessly: "He is just the prince of Prince Rui. Even if he really wants to do anything, he is not qualified. He..."
Dong Hui suddenly said: "Who said he is not qualified..."
Shi Qingxue was completely stunned and looked at Dong Hui blankly, fear flashing in her eyes.
Dong Hui thought she had scared Qingxue, and quickly added: "Who says you won't think about it if you don't have the qualifications? There are a lot of people in this world who want things that don't belong to them!"
Shi Qingxue was silent. She knew that Dong Hui definitely didn't mean this just now, that is, Dong Hui knew something about Mo Junyang's life experience.
She suddenly remembered that it seemed that it was also at this time in her previous life that Mo Junyang's life experience was exposed, and as a result, Mo Junyang almost died...
There was embarrassment in the air, and Dong Hui didn't know whether Qingxue understood what she meant, so she just changed the subject abruptly: "I heard that the Queen Mother recently intended to grant you a marriage. Before the marriage is finalized..."
Dong Hui didn't even want Shi Qingxue to come out, but after thinking about it, she knew that Qingxue would definitely not be able to hold it in, so she had to say: "You are not allowed to see Mo Junyang again, or I will lock you in the house and not allow you to see anyone. Did you hear that?"
Putting down the threat, Dong Hui hurried away again as if she was afraid that she would be soft-hearted, without seeing Qingxue's hurt look behind her.
Shi Qingxue was really hurt by Dong Hui's tyranny. Dong Hui had never treated her like this since she was a child. Even though it was nominally for her own good, she really couldn't accept this attitude.
"Liu Niang, don't be sad. Madam, she is just worried..." Xia Mang wanted to comfort Shi Qingxue, but it was difficult to say the words.
She didn't want to lie, but the truth often made people sad.
Shi Qingxue looked at Xia Mang with a wry smile, put away the hurt in her eyes, and responded calmly: "I know what you want to say? It's not that Mom doesn't believe me, it's just that she doesn't want to face any scene that may put daddy in danger. And... "
She smiled, unable to hide her loneliness in her words, "The safety of my husband is more important than the happiness of my daughter, isn't it? It's me, and I would make the same choice."
It's not difficult to make a rational decision, but when it comes to her, she can't hide her bitterness.
Fortunately, she didn't have much time to worry about this matter, as Shi Baoyou came to her door again.
Shi Baoyou had a sad look on her face. Like all upright and simple people, she showed all her emotions directly on her face without giving up. When she saw Shi Qingxue, she said directly: "Sixth sister, I want to ask you for something, can you do it?"
Even the word 'seeking' was used, which shows that Shi Baoyou has really made a certain determination.
Shi Qingxue did not agree easily, nor did she refuse. She only asked: "What's the matter?"
Shi Baoyou bit his lip, as if it was difficult to speak. After a moment, he solemnly said: "I hope you can go see the third sister for the last time, okay?"
It's Shi Baojin again.
