Shi Junhe accurately grasped what Mo Shujun cared about most.
The sentence 'hurt his heart' Mo Shujun could no longer say strong words.
Mo Shujun took a deep breath, swallowed all the arrogance she had just had, and stared at Shi Junhe coldly for a while.
Shi Junhe did not give in.
He had a gentle temperament and respected his mother. If he hadn't been forced to the point where he had no choice, he would certainly not be willing to stand against Mo Shujun.
Originally, he thought that there was no need to talk about this matter anymore.
Who would have thought that Mo Shujun was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "He'er really loves his daughter very much, but how far can He'er protect his first wife?"
Shi Junhe paused and looked at Mo Shujun suddenly, "What do you mean, mother?"
Mo Shujun sat back in her seat and spoke slowly: "Did He'er really think that I am an old fool and have completely forgotten about the drama that happened in Dongyuan a few days ago?"
"My child has already explained that matter. It's the Dong family..." Shi Junhe hurriedly tried to clear Dong Hui's name.
Who would have thought that Mo Shujun just waved her hands and sneered coldly and forcefully: "Come on, your rhetoric is just to make everyone look good. You and I both know the truth. If I really want to investigate, , do you think Dong can escape?"
Shi Junhe couldn't figure out what Mo Shujun wanted, so he simply stopped talking.
Mo Shujun was not in a hurry and continued slowly: "Even if the Dong family's late-night secret meeting with Yan Lu was approved by the Dong family, do you think her reputation can be preserved if this matter spreads? Others are not as reasonable as I am, and I don’t even mind if my daughter-in-law goes out in the middle of the night to have a private meeting with a foreign man.”
Shi Junhe was shocked and shouted quickly: "Mother, you can't do this! This will destroy Huiniang!"
"There's nothing I can't do. Now that you don't even care about the glory of my Shi family, I don't mind if the Shi family's reputation becomes even worse." Mo Shujun refused to give in at all.
The reason why Shi Junhe dared to use such an excuse to cover up Dong Hui's private affair with his foreign man was because he knew that Mo Shujun was very concerned about the reputation of the Shi family and would not be willing to let the Shi family be stigmatized.
But now Mo Shujun's attitude is there. If Shi Junhe can't find a way to restore the status of the Shi family, then she doesn't mind dying together.
The stain on Dong Hui is real. Once it is made public, Dong Hui will definitely be criticized by thousands of people.
Shi Junhe couldn’t bear it!
But the condition Mo Shujun offered was for Shi Qingxue to marry Mo Junhao. This...
General Shi was caught up in the interaction between heaven and man, while Mo Shujun was sitting leisurely drinking tea.
She didn't press hard, giving Ashitoki Shunwa time to think.
She believes that the other party will make the most correct judgment.
After nearly a cup of tea, Mo Shujun put down the tea bowl, smiled slightly and asked, "He'er, have you made a decision?"
Shi Junhe remained silent. After a while, he suddenly asked: "The Shi family has always been a pure minister beside the emperor. How come the child doesn't know when the Shi family chose sides?"
This incident insinuates that Mo Shujun, in order to help Shi Juncai obtain the merit of serving the dragon, directly bypassed him, the head of the family, and 'sold' the huge Shi Guogong Palace to Mo Junhao.
Mo Shujun showed embarrassment on her face and rubbed her hands uncomfortably, but immediately put them down and replied calmly: "Everything I have done is to restore the former prosperity of the Shi family.
He'er, you have to understand one thing. The current Shi family seems to have a noble status, but it is like a big tree with no branches and leaves, how can it be lush? It is not enough for you to be dignified by yourself. "
Shi Junhe: Of course, the only person you really want to be honored is Shi Juncai, right? He remained silent, and Mo Shujun did not feel embarrassed and continued: "Besides, the emperor is suspicious. Even if you want to be a pure minister, if you can't get the emperor's trust, it will be in vain. You still have to make plans for yourself in advance. of."
"Mother said so much because she just hoped that the Shi family could take refuge with His Highness the Fourth Highness." Shi Junhe was unwilling to deal with Mo Shujun and pointed out her purpose pointedly.
When Mo Shujun was told the truth, she was no longer embarrassed. Instead, she said confidently: "In short, I have said everything I need to say. It's up to you what to do next."
Shi Junhe stopped talking again.
Mo Shujun generously decided to give him more time, and lowered her voice and said: "Now His Majesty just orders you to recuperate at home, so you can use this time to go back and think about it. I hope you can remember one sentence , no amount of persistence can withstand the cruelty of reality, some things still have to be compromised when it’s time to compromise.”
Shi Junhe's expression was cold and he didn't comment on Mo Shujun's words. He just bowed and said hello: "Mother, take a good rest. The child will leave first."
After he quickly walked out of the door of Shouan Hall, he sighed heavily.
The serious and majestic face did not seem to be relaxed. Instead, it became more serious and heavy because he remembered certain things.
The waiting boy Shi Jie didn't dare to step forward when he saw this. He tried his best to stand like a wallflower, fearing that his master's anger would burn him.
"What are you doing standing in the corner? Come here quickly."
Shi Junhe saw all Shi Jie's little moves and gave cold orders.
Shi Jie smiled coquettishly and walked over, touching his nose with one hand, while not forgetting to defend himself: "Isn't this slave afraid of disturbing your thinking?"
Shi Junhe was too lazy to talk nonsense to him and asked directly: "What's the matter?"
Shi Jie leaned on his feet and tightened his buttocks. He immediately stood up straight and reported quickly: "Prince Mo came to visit and is waiting for you in your study. Miss Sixth asked the servant to come here to tell you that you are busy. Go back immediately after you’re done.”
He spoke a long series of words quickly and smoothly, fearing that he might upset his master if he stuttered.
However, after listening to Shi Jie's words, Shi Junhe's face became more and more tense and solemn.
He stood at the entrance of Shouan Hall for nearly a quarter of an hour before shaking his head as if giving up and saying tiredly: "Let's go!"
As soon as Shi Junhe entered the study, the two people who were sitting closely together in the room, face to face, nose to nose, lips close to lips, suddenly separated quickly.
Shi Qingxue took several steps back and just stood still. The flush on her face had not subsided yet, and she explained in a covert manner: "I just talked to him for a while and didn't do anything."
Mo Junyang: "..."
The 'Big Bad Wolf', who had just stolen a piece of cake, shook his big tail and said nothing.
Shi Junhe: "..."
My heart-broken dad feels like he is about to get myocarditis.
Shi Junhe looked at Shi Qingxue and said with a half-smile, "Yeah, I didn't say what you did. What are you in such a hurry for?"
"..." Shi Qingxue couldn't answer, her face turned red, her head kept leaning against her chest, her chin almost touched her chest, and her little hands nervously grabbed the corners of her clothes on both sides, rubbing and rubbing...
The two grown men couldn't help laughing.
Mo Junyang also walked up to Qingxue, stretched out his long and straight fingers, and gently dragged her chin.
Qingxue raised her head in confusion, blinked, and asked silently: What's wrong
Mo Junyang suppressed his laughter, raised her chin again, and then said lovingly: "My head is about to fall off!"
Shi Qingxue glared and bared her teeth: "..." Your head is about to fall off, and the heads of your whole family are about to fall off!
She thought she was powerful and glared at Mo Junyang to express her anger, but he smiled even brighter. He even raised his head and patted her on the head, smiling softly and saying: "You are fine no matter what."
Well, Shi Qingxue felt that her face was so hot that she could spread eggs.
"Ahem!" Dad Shi coughed twice, forcibly interrupting the two people's bad behavior of showing affection as if no one was around.
Shi Qingxue was startled. She couldn't get rid of the shyness on her face, so she had to lower her head and quickly ran to Shi Junhe's side.
Holding his arm, she abruptly changed the subject: "Dad, how are you? Has grandma given you any trouble?"
If it were in the past, Shi Junhe would definitely criticize Qingxue's disrespectful behavior towards his elders with a cold face, but this may be because he is too tired, or he may be really hurt by Mo Shujun.
He did not refute Qingxue's words. Instead, he raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows before saying, "It's nothing. My mother just asked me some questions about what happened today."
Shi Qingxue immediately understood what Shi Junhe had not finished, curled her lips and said disdainfully: "Humph! She is so concerned about this matter, and she must be counting on you to fish out the third uncle. But it's a pity that she is so concerned about this matter. Forget it, if you make a mistake, you can’t even think about it!”
Thinking of this, Shi Qingxue suddenly felt that it was not so difficult to accept that Shi Junhe was asked to recuperate at home.
"Be afraid, this is not the only thing that the eldest princess covets." Mo Junyang suddenly interjected, causing both father and daughter to turn around at the same time.
Shi Qingxue didn't see the surprise in her father's eyes. Instead, she glared at Mo Junyang unhappily: "Don't be so talkative! What if it comes true in the future?"
Shi Junhe was surprised by Mo Junyang's frankness and sensitivity. After a while, he patted the back of Qingxue's hand, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid it has come true."
"Well… "
Shi Qingxue was silent for a moment and asked dully: "What does she want?"
Now it was Shi Junhe's turn to remain silent. He looked at Qingxue and then met Mo Junyang's eyes, which were as deep as a deep pool. His heart was filled with thoughts.
To be honest, he was actually unwilling to tell Qingxue what happened just now - he didn't want the treasure he carefully cared for to be contaminated by such ugly calculations and trade-offs - but he really didn't have the best of both worlds.
He had no choice but to turn his attention to Mo Junyang for help.
Shi Junhe simply recounted the conversation between him and Mo Shujun, emphasizing Mo Shujun's request.
While speaking, he kept secretly observing Mo Junyang's reaction.
When he mentioned that Mo Shujun wanted to marry Shi Qingxue to Mo Junyang, the other party's eyes were obviously colder by more than one level. Then he felt relieved and continued talking.
“…that’s just the way it is.”
"Hmph! She has a good idea. I will never marry Mo Junhao under any circumstances, let alone to pave the way for her son!" Shi Qingxue proudly raised her delicate little chin and spat hard. Mo Shujun's wishful thinking.
Although Shi Junhe had expected that his daughter would object fiercely, he still felt helpless after hearing her words.
He couldn't help but nodded her eyebrows, "Why are you talking! Don't forget, I am also your grandmother's son."
"Uh..." Shi Qingxue stuck out her tongue angrily and quickly said to please her: "My daughter is not talking about you. Not only is she not talking about you, I still care about you very much! Why are you angry with me?"
Crackle said a long list first, but in the end, she was justified.
"You guy, after all the talk, you are right and I am not right!" Shi Junhe couldn't help but smile bitterly, and was about to pinch Shi Qingxue's nose as a punishment.
Mo Junyang stretched out his hand and stood between the two of them.
Both of them were stunned, and turned to look at Mo Junyang, with doubts in their eyes.
What is he going to do
