Mo Junhao listened to Luo Ziyuan's old tune and mentioned the differences between the two again, and immediately waved his hand to interrupt the topic, "Okay, this palace has its own plan for this matter, you don't have to worry!"
Luo Ziyuan's expression froze, his face sank and he stopped talking.
This was the first time that Mo Junhao interrupted him so arbitrarily. Even though the words were polite, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
At the same time, he was even more sure of his thoughts: Shi Qingxue was indeed a nuisance, and she had such a great influence on His Highness even before she was married. If she really becomes the fourth prince's concubine, the consequences will be disastrous if the wind blows from her pillow.
Shi Qingxue really couldn’t stay!
If Shi Qingxue knew what Luo Ziyuan was thinking at this time, she would definitely sneer at him and give him four words: thinking too much.
The atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became stiff.
After a while, Mo Junhao coughed twice and abruptly changed the subject: "By the way, how did the investigation that I asked you to investigate go?"
"The matter is just as His Highness guessed. Mrs. Shi San is currently being secretly banned from the Shijia Nanyuan, but most of the servants in the Shi Mansion don't know the reason why she is banned. After several inquiries, I learned that she was because of her relationship with her cousin. He was banned for having a private meeting with Shi Zhi." Luo Ziyuan reported the information he obtained to Mo Junhao in a matter-of-fact manner.
There was no omission in the answer, but the message of 'I'm very unhappy' ran through it.
Mo Junhao pretended not to see it, but said with emotion: "It is indeed him!"
After pondering for a moment, he asked again: "Does Master Shi know the current situation of Madam Shi San?"
"Everyone in the Shi family has kept it secret, so they probably don't know about it for the time being. However, Mr. Shi is very infatuated with Mrs. Shi San, so it's only a matter of time before he finds out."
Mo Junhao suddenly became interested and asked with a smile: "Then what do you think he will do then?"
"He can even promote his lover's husband. Now that his little lover is in trouble, he will definitely not sit idly by." Luo Ziyuan said with certainty, but he couldn't see what kind of measures Shi Zhi would take in the future. through.
Should he use his own power to protect Zhou Ruyu's position in the Shi family? Or should he take the opportunity to let Zhou Ruyu leave the Shi family and marry someone back to the Shi family
Mo Junhao smiled, "It's good to have feelings! Man! As long as you have true feelings and you have a weakness, you don't have to worry about not taking advantage of it. We just have to wait."
Luo Ziyuan: "..."
Mr. Luo had to admit that his master was able to grasp the key to the problem after using his brain, but...
He really wanted to ask: What will happen if you have feelings for Shi Qingxue
However, once such a topic was brought up, there would definitely be another argument, so he wisely didn't speak anymore.
Mo Junhao didn't know that Luo Ziyuan's mental activities were so frequent. After thinking for a while, he asked: "What about the other thing?"
"Uh, um..." Luo Ziyuan, who prided himself on being smart and capable of asking questions, was also stumped this time. He hesitated for a long time, and finally had to admit, "I only found out that Mrs. Shi San must have something about Shi Juncai and the eldest princess, and This handle is of great importance, but what it is, I still..."
"It hasn't been found out yet?" Mo Junhao raised his eyebrows slightly, slightly surprised that Luo Ziyuan was stumped.
Luo Ziyuan blushed and argued: "I'm afraid this matter involves the previous generation. It happened decades ago. I was not born yet, and the time you gave me was so short. I will It’s normal if you can’t find out the time! At worst, I can help you find out later!”
"I'm not blaming you. Why are you anxious?" Mo Junhao quickly comforted him.
Changing the subject tactfully, "Okay, I'll leave all this to you, and there's no rush. Since you said this matter could be hidden for twenty years, it must be a big secret. Let me give you a suggestion. , it’s not easy to start with the eldest princess, you can use your skills from Shi Juncai, who is a greedy and lustful person... "
Luo Ziyuan suddenly understood, patted his forehead, and sighed: "Why didn't I think of that! I know what to do, just wait for my good news!"
——
Nanyuan of the Duke's Mansion at that time.
Zhou Ruyu was sitting in the room drinking tea, but her mind was not on the tea at all.
From time to time, I would raise my eyes and look out the door, with expressions on my face sometimes excited, sometimes happy, and sometimes anxious...
Until Shi Baoyou walked in with small steps, she stood up from the chair and stepped forward, "How are you?"
Shi Baoyou knew that her mother was asking about her and Mo Junhao. Before she could say anything, her face turned red from shyness.
Zhou Ruyu was immediately overjoyed, clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Great! I just said that my daughter is so good, she is destined to be the queen. Now she is a mere fourth prince and she is wronging you! But don't worry, good times will come. Behind you, you..."
"Mother, mother! It's not like that!" Shi Baoyou didn't expect Zhou Ruyu to completely misunderstand, and quickly shouted to stop.
Zhou Ruyu didn't know that Mo Junhao had not agreed to marry Shi Baoyou at all, so she continued happily: "It's nothing, you listened to mother right. Now His Highness the Fourth Prince is gaining momentum. As long as you secure your position as the Fourth Prince's Concubine, in the future …”
"Mother! His Highness did not agree to marry his daughter." Shi Baoyou shouted urgently.
"I didn't promise anything..." Zhou Ruyu didn't hear clearly at first, and the nagging voice was silenced halfway through, like a female duck that had been pinched by the neck. She looked at Shi Baoyou in horror and couldn't say a single word. I can't speak.
Shi Baoyou nodded again and responded dully: "His Royal Highness said that he also likes his daughter, but he has to think about the people under him, just like you guessed, mother, he has to go to Sister Qingxue. so… "
"So he keeps hanging on to you and refuses to marry you?" Zhou Ruyu asked sharply.
Shi Baoyou quickly covered Zhou Ruyu's mouth and urged, "Mom, please speak softly, in case others hear you, that's not good!"
"He dares to do such a heartless thing, and is he afraid of being heard?" Zhou Ruyu shouted even louder, as if he really wanted to make the whole world know about it.
"That's not the case, mother, please stop talking!" Shi Baoyou was ashamed and ashamed, and was so anxious that he almost cried.
Zhou Ruyu stopped shouting. She was silent for a moment and then asked: "You have been there for so long, what did you say to him?"
Shi Baoyou was afraid that her mother would get excited and make a fuss, so she first ordered her maid to guard the door, then closed the door, and then whispered to Zhou Ruyu what Mo Junhao had just said to her.
I didn't dare to hide it, but at the end of the day, I couldn't help but defend Mo Junhao: "His Highness also had no choice but to do it, so don't blame him! As long as he really cares about my daughter, I will be satisfied."
Although Zhou Ruyu didn't yell anymore, the expression on his face was very bad.
"I bought you with a promise that I don't know when it will be fulfilled? Can you give me something to do?" She poked Shi Baoyou's forehead with hatred, and still couldn't let go, she cursed in a low voice: "Sure enough, there is nothing good about a man. When he wants you, he talks sweet words all the time, but when he really wants him to do something practical, he can't even let out a fart!"
Shi Baoyou lowered his head and stopped talking.
But Zhou Ruyu still refused to let her go and scolded her angrily: "You stupid girl, I asked you to please the Fourth Highness. Even if you can't become the Fourth Princess, you can still be a concubine! But you want it. What’s the use of this ubiquitous jade pendant? Can it help you to have a baby? You’re really pissing me off!”
"Mom, please don't say that, okay? You'er feels uncomfortable..." Shi Baoyou finally couldn't help it anymore and threw herself into Zhou Ruyu's arms and burst into tears.
While wiping her tears, she cried aggrievedly: "Actually, I knew His Highness would not marry me, but I, I couldn't help it... I just like him, and I don't have Shi Qingxue's abilities, so why should I let Your Highness Marry me, me, me..."
By the end, she was crying.
Zhou Ruyu was so heartbroken when she heard this that she didn't even care about being angry. She quickly comforted her softly: "Okay, mother, don't talk anymore. Stop crying, mother's heart will be broken by crying!"
Shi Baoyou was probably really stimulated, and his crying became louder and louder, "Mom, what do you think my daughter should do, what should I do?"
"This..." Zhou Ruyu also looked helpless and sighed inwardly.
Who can blame this
The only thing to blame is Shi Baoyou's unlucky fate and lack of a capable father.
As long as Shi Jun is sometimes handsome and has ordinary ambition and talent, with the help of the eldest princess, even if he cannot become the Duke of Shi, it will not be a problem to reach the second or third rank.
"You'er, now that things have happened, don't think so much! Since His Highness the Fourth Highness refuses to marry you, then we don't want him either. Mom will find you a good marriage, and it will be better than his!" Zhou Ruyu said so He said, but he also knew in his heart that with the current situation, there would be no better marriage in Mo country than marrying Mo Junhao.
Unless it's...the Crown Princess.
But their family is all part of the quasi-Fourth Prince Party. Not to mention that it is impossible for them to defect to Mo Junyu, and Mo Junyu may not be willing to marry Shi Baoyou.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ruyu sighed heavily and reluctantly advised: "You'er, just accept your fate!"
Shi Baoyou was stubborn at this time, shook his head desperately, and cried: "My daughter just likes His Highness the Fourth Highness. She doesn't want to marry anyone but his daughter. She doesn't want anyone else! Mother..."
"You kid, why are you so stubborn!" Zhou Ruyu was furious and was about to scold him.
Suddenly something occurred to her, her expression tightened, and she ignored Shi Baoyou's tears in her eyes. He grabbed her arm and asked seriously: "You were alone with him in the carriage for so long just now. You were alone and you didn't go out." What's the matter?"
When Shi Baoyou cried suddenly, he looked at Zhou Ruyu in surprise, with an expression that clearly said: How did you know
Zhou Ruyu was in a hurry and cursed angrily: "You kid! Didn't Mother give you countless warnings and instructions not to do anything immoral or unclean like your sister? Why did you turn a deaf ear to Mother's words? ! It really makes me angry!
You have no name or status, so you gave your body to him. Are you going to have to be held captive by him in the future? Will you never be able to get ahead? "
Zhou Ruyu was so angry that she almost wanted to beat Shi Baoyou to death, but when she saw Shi Baoyou's cowering and frightened look, she couldn't move her hand away, so she could only cover her chest and cry: "You are so mad at me, so mad at me." Me!"
Shi Baoyou didn't expect that Zhou Ruyu had such a big misunderstanding. He was scolded so badly that he was scolded before he could explain, and he was completely confused.
It took a while to recover, and he quickly explained: "No, mother, that's not the case. My daughter did not lose her virginity to His Highness. Although His Highness wanted it, my daughter said she didn't..."
Her voice was muffled, and in the end it was as quiet as a mosquito, but Zhou Ruyu still heard it clearly.
It took Zhou Ruyu a while to understand the meaning of her words, and her old face suddenly burst into laughter, and she once again clenched Shi Baoyou's arm tightly.
"Okay, okay! As expected of my mother's good daughter, it's good that she didn't lose her virginity, it's good that she didn't lose her virginity..." Zhou Ruyu rejoiced again and again, exhaling a big breath, as if her whole body came to life again.
"But mother, my daughter wants to marry His Highness, dear mother, please think of a way for her, okay?" Shi Baoyou pulled Zhou Ruyu's sleeve and begged.
Zhou Ruyu looked embarrassed, "What can I do? I..."
She suddenly paused, her eyes suddenly burst into brilliant light, and she said with great joy: "Mom, I have a solution!"
