Mo Shujun was not happy when she first heard that Shi Junhe was making another request, but thinking that since the other party had agreed to her request, she might as well hold back her emotions and listen to what Shi Junhe wanted to do first.
"what would you like?"
Shi Junhe pursed his lips, pondered for a moment, and then said: "I hope that the marriage of a concubine can be done in a low-key manner, without making any noise, let alone making it known to everyone. Can mother agree?"
Mo Shujun thought for a moment and understood the intention of Shi Junhe's request.
Although she was dissatisfied that Shi Junhe was still thinking about Dong Hui at this time, she didn't want to make the already rigid mother-son relationship get out of hand, so she nodded and agreed.
"Since you ask like this, of course I can't agree to it!" Old God Mo Shujun nodded.
Immediately, she made her request logically, "But I ask you to get married in five days and marry Leng Yan."
Shi Junhe was taken aback and asked in surprise: "Why are you in such a hurry? Five days is not even enough to prepare for the wedding. You see..."
"You want everything to be simple, but if I don't fulfill your wish, why are you unhappy?" Mo Shujun asked calmly.
Then he said slowly: "As for the preparations for the marriage, you don't have to worry. As early as a few days ago, when I decided to marry Yan'er to you, I had already ordered people to start preparations for the marriage. If you want, you can go to the church immediately. question."
Seeing this, Shi Junhe could only nod helplessly, "Five days from now, just five days from now!"
After the important matter was settled, Mo Shujun's expression finally calmed down, and she looked at Shi Junhe with tender eyes and said with a smile: "Don't worry He'er, as your mother, I will never harm you!" Yan'er was brought up by me, and her character and appearance are outstanding. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be willing to let her be my concubine!"
Shi Junhe did not feel comforted after hearing such words, but felt bitter in his heart.
But he knew that it would be useless to say anything to Mo Shujun, so he simply stopped talking and accepted Mo Shujun's arrangement indifferently.
"If there is nothing wrong with the mother, then the son will leave first!" Shi Junhe stood up and saluted Mo Shujun respectfully.
His attitude was cold and distant, even worse than the coldness when he first entered Shou'an Hall.
Mo Shujun was only thinking about Shi Junhe finally agreeing to her, and didn't care about these details. She waved her hand and let Shi Junhe go.
Shi Junhe strode forward until he reached the door of Shou'an Hall before he stopped and turned to look back at the familiar courtyard - this was the place where he often visited when he was a child, a teenager, and even a young man, and it held countless happy memories for him.
However, at this moment, he felt extremely cold, and even the person in the room, his mother, seemed strange.
Would any mother force her child like this
Such questions couldn't help but flash in Shi Junhe's mind, and he racked his brains but couldn't figure it out.
But all his expectations and thoughts for Mo Shujun have turned into deep disappointment at this moment.
Maybe he shouldn't expect Mo Shujun to think about him from the beginning, right
Shi Junhe shook his head with a wry smile, turned around and walked back to Dongyuan.
Shi Qingxue had just changed into a horse outfit and was about to go out when she bumped into Shi Junhe, who was all white. She was startled and rushed to meet her, "Dad, what's wrong with you? Are you suffering from heat stroke? Is it okay? My daughter, is it okay? Can I invite Doctor Qin for you?"
She spoke so fast that she couldn't wait for Shi Junhe to answer, so she wanted to run out and ask for a doctor, but was stopped by Shi Junhe.
"I'm fine, you don't have to worry."
Shi Qingxue looked at Shi Junhe with some disbelief, and saw that although his face was not good, his eyes were bright, he was just slightly tired, and he was not sweating. He did not look like he was sick.
Then he breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and complained exaggeratedly: "Dad, which dragon's pool and tiger's den did you escape from? With such a miserable look, those who don't know would think you were abused by someone?"
She said this completely as a joke.
Unexpectedly, after being slightly startled, Shi Junhe actually nodded in agreement, smiled bitterly and said to himself: "Who says it's not the case?"
"Huh?" Shi Qingxue's sharp ears suddenly caught Shi Junhe's voice, and she stared directly at Shi Junhe again.
Shi Junhe was unwilling to mention these dirty things to her, so he changed the subject calmly, "Are you planning to go out and shoot horseback and archery with your 'Brother Yang' again today?"
Hearing the ridicule, Shi Qingxue's little face turned red effectively.
She avoided her eyes and muttered in a low voice, "What about my 'Brother Yang'? He is not mine!"
"Tsk! My main point is obviously to ask you if you are going to ride a horse today? Why do you only care about whether Prince Mo is yours?" Shi Junhe's teasing tone became more intense, and his majestic face was full of smiles.
Shi Qingxue blushed and felt that her whole body was getting hot.
She stamped her feet in embarrassment, glared at Shi Junhe complainingly, and cried out sweetly: "Daddy! How can you make fun of others! It's too much!"
"The girl can't help her. Daddy is really sad!" Shi Junhe was probably addicted to pretending to be a loving father. He even pinched his throat and pretended to cry a few times, as if it was really happening.
"Dad!" Shi Qingxue rolled her eyes, not knowing how to comment on her father's bad joke.
Shi Junhe had seen enough of Qingxue's flushed face and extremely shy look, and then he put away his joking expression and turned it into a fatherly concern. He pushed Qingxue out and said warmly: "Daddy won't joke with you anymore. You Aren't you going to ride a horse? Go quickly, don't make people wait."
Afraid that Shi Qingxue would be angry again, Shi's father wisely stopped saying sensitive words like 'your brother Yang'.
Shi Qingxue stared at Shi Junhe for a while. Seeing the latter's indifferent look, she probably knew that this would have no other effect except making her eyes sore and painful, so she gave up.
He pouted and nodded unhappily, "Then I'll go."
Shi Junhe watched Shi Qingxue turn around and walk out, and then he finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself: It was so dangerous, I finally fooled this girl.
Otherwise, if Qingxue continues to ask, he won't know how to answer.
However, the expression on Shi Junhe's face had not completely relaxed. When he reached the door, Shi Qingxue suddenly turned around.
With his stunned look on his face, he quickly walked back and stood in front of him.
Shi Qingxue raised her face, met Shi Junhe's astonished eyes in displeasure, and complained angrily: "Dad, you perfunctory me!"
Shi Junhe didn't expect that his little thoughts could not be concealed from the truth after all. While lamenting helplessly in his heart, he still pretended to be calm on the surface, "What are you talking about? When did I perfunctory you? Don't think too much, it's better to hurry up. Go... "Let's ride a horse with Prince Mo!"
His next words were unable to be continued under Shi Qingxue's increasingly stern eyes.
The two stood at the door of Dongyuan, looking at each other in silence for a long time.
Shi Junhe felt guilty, while Shi Qingxue was angry.
In the end, Shi Qingxue forgave Shi Junhe's deception magnanimously, and said with a small mouth: "I won't care about you lying to me this time, but as compensation, you have to explain what you did to me." Tell me."
After that, regardless of Shi Junhe's reluctant eyes, he forcibly took his arm and dragged him back to the study.
Shi Qingxue was keenly aware that what his father was hiding from her was definitely not a trivial matter. As soon as he returned to the study, he closed the door, lowered the window, and then pushed Shi Junhe to a chair to sit down.
He quickly ran to sit opposite Shi Junhe, looked at Shi Junhe eagerly, and asked silently.
"It's really okay, don't think too much." Shi Junhe was still struggling and did not want Qingxue to get involved in the conflict between him and Mo Shujun.
Shi Qingxue's little mouth immediately flattened, and a look of tears appeared on her face, as if to say: If you don't tell me, I will cry for you!
Shi Junhe: "..."
Although he knew that Shi Qingxue's expression was most likely fake, Shi Junhe was still reluctant to let Qingxue really cry.
In desperation, he still told Mo Shujun's threat to him.
Shi Qingxue was stunned when she heard this.
She had known for a long time that Mo Shujun had opinions about Dafang and Dong Hui, but that was also an internal matter of the Duke of Shi's Mansion. With Mo Shujun's face-saving temperament, how could he be willing to let outsiders see the Duke of Shi's Mansion? What about the joke
"Dad, are you kidding me? My mother's matter... well, even if the secret meeting was spread, it would slander our family's reputation. How could grandma do this?" Shi Qingxue murmured, with a look on her face. The stupor has not yet calmed down.
Shi Junhe also couldn't believe that Mo Shujun would do such a thing, but it was a fact.
Mo Shujun used Dong Hui and the Shi family's reputation as a threat to force him to marry Leng Yan.
"Why? What's the good of being cold-faced? Why does my grandmother have to force you to marry her? If my mother failed to give you a son in the past, and the Duke's family had no heirs, she would have some reasons for forcing her.
But now even Divine Doctor Shen said that the mother was most likely pregnant with a boy. How could she still push you like this? "The more Shi Qingxue thought about it, the weirder it became.
Shi Junhe also wanted to know why, but Mo Shujun would definitely not explain it to him.
He just shook his head and sighed helplessly: "Anyway, the matter is over. These are your grandmother's requirements. Even if I don't want to, then..."
Shi Qingxue still wanted to fight, but looking at Shi Junhe's face full of exhaustion and sorrow, she couldn't say anything.
yes!
Whenever Shi Junhe had the slightest possibility of resistance, he would not compromise like this.
"Mom, what are dad's preparations for?" Shi Qingxue asked worriedly.
Over the past few days, she finally understood Dong Hui's resentment about Shi Jun and taking concubines.
If Dong Hui knew that Shi Junhe really wanted to marry Leng Yan, he would not go crazy.
Shi Junhe also looked helpless, and after a while he sighed and smiled bitterly, "Fortunately, your mother has returned to her parents' home now. I asked her to keep a low profile. This matter should not reach your mother's ears."
"Ah? Are you planning to lie to your mother?" Shi Qingxue screamed in surprise.
Facing Shi Junhe's bitter eyes, the dissatisfaction that just arose in his heart gradually turned into understanding and sympathy for his father.
Yes, it is indeed too much to hide such a big matter from the husband's concubine from the main wife, and it shouldn't be.
But aren’t these extraordinary times
Dong Hui is pregnant and should not be excited. If she finds out about this, it may affect her mood and affect the innocent fetus in her belly; if Dong Hui can't think about it...
The consequences are simply unimaginable.
As soon as Shi Qingxue thought about it, she hurriedly shook her head and got rid of her neglectful thoughts.
Meeting Shi Junhe's expectant eyes, Qingxue didn't even need the other party to pray, she nodded and confirmed, "Don't worry, I will definitely take this matter seriously and I will never let the news get out of the house."
After thinking about it, she felt that it was not safe again. Her big round eyes stared at Shi Junhe, making no sound.
Shi Junhe was horrified by her look and helped to beg for mercy, "You can say whatever you want! It's not enough even after I promised you, so don't look at me like this!"
"Hee hee!" Shi Qingxue smiled hurriedly.
Then he sat up straight, looked at Shi Junhe with a serious face, and began to fight for his mother's interests, "Dad, you were forced to marry that cold face. My daughter didn't say anything. But she entered our Dongyuan door. It can only be a vase and decoration. You can’t have other ideas just because she is young and beautiful!”
At first, Shi Junhe thought that Shi Qingxue was planning to make some excessive demands, so he was so serious about it, but he didn't expect that this clever girl actually wanted to say this.
He didn't know whether to laugh or be angry for a moment, and finally raised his hand and knocked Qingxue hard on the head, scolding in a deep voice: "You girl, what are you thinking about? Is Daddy the kind of person who is greedy for beauty? No need. You tell me and I know what to do."
Shi Qingxue was not angry after being scolded, but instead smiled brighter at Shi Junhe.
In fact, she also believes in her father, but this kind of thing still needs to be agreed upon first. Otherwise, if her mother knows that she has been involved in this matter, she will have to skin her
Dad, my daughter is using her life to protect you!
