Halfway up Mang Mountain, the rest of the Shi family waited until the moon was at the zenith and dawn appeared, but they still didn't see Shi Qingxue or anyone else walking down the mountain.
Dongshuang was so anxious that she tried to go up the mountain to find Shi Qingxue several times, but was stopped by Shi Baoyan.
When Shi Qingxue is away, Shi Baoyan is the only master, and these servants must listen to her arrangements no matter how reluctant they are.
Shi Baoyan was very satisfied with this, especially when the sun rose high on the second day and Shi Qingxue was still missing, she could hardly help but grin.
"Qingxue hasn't come down until now. She must have been left on the mountain by the miracle doctor. There's no point in waiting here. We should go back first and make plans!" Shi Baoyan coughed lightly and ordered people to clean up. Packed up and headed home.
Dong Shuang's eyes widened and she couldn't believe that Shi Baoyan dared to leave Shi Qingxue behind and walk away? !
But now there was no chance for her to protest. Shi Baoyan ordered someone to cover her mouth and then kidnapped her and took her away.
When they hurried back to Shi Mansion, Mo Shujun and others ran to the door to greet them. Seeing the disgraced Shi Baoyan, they quickly asked with concern: "Why is my little Wu'er in such a mess? There is no injury, come and show grandma. But what happened?"
Shi Baoyan threw herself into Mo Shujun's arms and acted coquettishly, crying and aggrieved as she recounted her "arduous" journey in seeking medical treatment.
Of course, the version became a sad story about how Shi Qingxue ignored her sisterhood and teamed up with outsiders to cause her to fall and be disfigured, and how she actively sought medical treatment regardless of past grudges and was not greedy for merit, but in the end it was to no avail.
After hearing this, Mo Shujun felt deeply that her granddaughter had suffered. She hugged Shi Baoyan and comforted her softly for a while, and promised many rewards. Her tenderness made people cry.
Dong Hui couldn't stand it any longer, and couldn't help but ask: "Wu Niang, you're back, what about Qingxue? Why don't you see her?"
Shi Baoyan secretly pouted, disdainful of Dong Hui.
He also said that the children should be treated equally, but look at Dong Hui. When she came back, she didn't even say a word of concern. She only asked Shi Qingxue, and her partiality almost reached her armpits.
Shi Baoyan looked down on Dong Hui and answered a little casually, "That Divine Doctor Shen is very difficult to deal with. In order to impress him, Qingxue stayed in the mountain. I was afraid that my grandmother would be worried, so I came back first to say that she was safe."
"What? You left Qingxue alone on the mountain and came back?" Dong Hui asked sharply, staring at Shi Baoyan with burning eyes, as if she wanted to eat people.
Shi Baoyan was so frightened that she shrank into Mo Shujun's arms. Mo Shujun immediately became unhappy and accused: "Hui Niang, the child finally got home with great difficulty. It's fine that you don't care about her. Why are you so cruel to her?" Are you doing this to a mother?"
Dong Hui was blocked by these words, which were neither serious nor serious, and felt panicked.
Shi Qingxue is her biological daughter and she hasn't come back yet, but Shi Baoyan is already standing here fine and fine. Is it possible that she can't even ask about her daughter's whereabouts
She knew that the old lady had always disliked her, and she usually tried her best not to get in Mo Shujun's eyes, but now that Shi Qingxue's whereabouts were unknown, how could she hold back
But Mo Shujun waved her hands nonchalantly and said lightly: "Where is the whereabouts unknown? Didn't Wu Niang say that Qingxue was still staying in Mang Mountain to ask Divine Doctor Shen to come out? She has an arrogant temperament, and she must be hoping to be alone. Invite the miracle doctor to treat Baoning. Since you are a mother, you should do more things that suit your children, and don't always be thankless and annoying people for nothing. "
These words were like a sharp blade, piercing Dong Hui's heart. She was stabbed so hard that she could hardly stand. It was only Aunt Zheng who pushed the handle behind her that managed to stabilize her body.
If in the past, Dong Hui was trained like this by Mo Shujun, Dong Hui would remain silent even if she was unhappy, but this time she was really worried about Shi Qingxue, and couldn't help but say: "Mom, Qingxue is a girl, alone outside. , if you encounter something and there’s no help, I think it’s better to send someone to Mang Mountain to take a look!”
Shi Baoyan was eager for Shi Qingxue to suffer so much that she would not let Dong Hui send rescuers, so she quickly said: "Doctor Shen said that every time you seek medical treatment, you can only go alone, and you can't bring helpers. If mother sends someone, Doesn’t it mean that Sixth Sister’s previous efforts will be wasted?”
However, there were still people watching the excitement who didn't mind the big deal. Zhou Ruyu then said, "That's right, my sister-in-law is the mistress of the family. Taking care of the family is the main business. Why do you need to worry so much about other things?"
Dong Hui glared at Zhou Ruyu coldly, and couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Qingxue is my daughter, the second daughter of this family. Even if she hurts a finger, it is a big deal, not to mention that her safety is unknown now, I What’s wrong with caring about her?”
It was rare for Zhou Ruyu to be directly criticized by Dong Hui like this. For a moment, she had no words to refute, so she could only smile and avoid Dong Hui's sharp attack, but said in her heart: Humph! So what if you care? The overall situation is decided, you! Just wait to cry!
Dong Huigang shut up the ignorant Zhou Ruyu, but Mo Shujun said calmly at this time: "They are right, Huiniang, please stop worrying so much. Qingxue is so smart, how can you not figure it out? If you If you really have that spare time, you might as well take care of the general affairs of the government. Look at how you have managed this family."
Dong Hui: “…”
Dong Hui was choked by these words. If the person who said these words was not Mo Shujun or her man's mother, she was really afraid that she would not be able to resist saying anything back!
"Didn't my grandmother say that my mother was very good at taking care of the household chores? Why is she accusing my mother of not doing things right now? Could it be that those words she said before were all coaxed by my mistress?"
Just when Dong Hui was feeling frustrated and helpless, a crisp and lovely voice interrupted, surprising everyone.
At some point, Shi Qingxue was already standing at the door of the hall, looking at the people in the room with bright eyes.
Dong Hui was immediately overjoyed and ran up to hug Shi Qingxue and asked urgently: "Qingxue, are you okay? Why did you come back so late? But where are you injured?"
A series of questions that were completely illogical were thrown at Shi Qingxue, leaving her with no time to answer.
Shi Qingxue was not impatient at all. After listening to their conversation just now, how could she not know who the person who really cared about her was? Naturally, I don't think my mother is worrying blindly.
After all, she almost didn't come back!
Shi Qingxue raised her eyebrows and looked at the others. She didn't miss the ghostly look on some people's faces when she entered the house.
Mo Shujun didn't know that there were so many circles. Although she was a little surprised when she saw Qingxue coming back so quickly, she quickly showed a happy smile and greeted Qingxue, "Qingxue, you're back soon. Come here and show grandma.”
Shi Qingxue stood still in the same place, mouthing towards Mo Shujun, showing a proud posture, "Grandma, did I just hear you say bad things about my mother? If you don't give me an explanation, I won't accept it!"
Among the Shi family members, Shi Qingxue is probably the only one who dares to ask the eldest princess for her life in such a humble way.
Everyone looked at Shi Qingxue in shock, wondering if she was stupid for going out, right? How dare you ask Mo Shujun for an explanation
Could it be that Shi Qingxue planned to break up with Mo Shujun directly
Dong Hui pulled Qingxue's sleeves worriedly and hesitated to speak. Qingxue gave her a reassuring look and patted the back of her hand privately: Don't worry, I'm sensible.
