Three days later, the Duke Shi's mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, giving it a festive look.
Mo Shujun has been completely shameless since she had a falling out with Shi Junhe at the Dong family.
The rule that I had promised not to make the matter of taking concubines public was no longer allowed.
Now everyone in the house knows that the maid Leng Yan is going to marry the eldest master as his aunt, some are envious and some are jealous.
Some are happy and some are sad.
Shi Qingxue was preparing to go out early this morning. As soon as she left Dongyuan, she took Shi Jie with a letter and ran inside in a hurry. When she saw her, she even forgot to salute and ran to the study.
Qingxue was suspicious and subconsciously called the person to stop.
"What's that in your hand?"
Shi Jie seemed to have just noticed that Shi Qingxue was in front of him, his face stiffened, and he greeted Shi Qingxue dryly: "I have met the Sixth Miss, and I want to say hello to the Sixth Miss."
As he spoke, he shrank his hand behind his back, trying to hide the letter.
But all this did not escape Shi Qingxue's eyes.
She was originally just curious about what Shi Jie was doing in such a hurry, but now that she saw him sneaking around and acting suspiciously, her curiosity, which she had not planned to read, was suddenly aroused.
Another cold command: "Hand over the letter in your hand."
Shi Jie froze and refused to move, begging in embarrassment: "Liu Niang, please don't embarrass me. This letter, this letter is for the master."
Shi Qingxue smiled coldly and said rudely: "I didn't say this letter was not for my father. I just want to know who sent him this urgent letter today, can't I?"
"No, no!" Shi Jie didn't dare to offend this little ancestor, but he didn't want to hand over the letter. He was in a stalemate and didn't know what to do.
Shi Qingxue waited for you for a moment, then lost the patience to wait any longer. She stepped forward and took the letter out of Shi Jie's hand.
"Liu Niang, please don't..." Open the letter!
Shi Jing wanted to say, 'This is not your letter, you can't open it,' but before he could say anything, Shi Qingxue was already looking at the envelope and was stunned.
At this time, Shi Jie suddenly remembered: Sometimes if you want to know who wrote a letter, you don't need to open the letter, or even just look at the handwriting on the envelope to determine.
Especially the handwriting on this envelope was very familiar to Qingxue. It was written by her mother Dong Hui.
"Did Mom write a letter to Dad?" Shi Qingxue turned to look at Shi Jie and asked nagging.
Shi Jie knew that this matter could not be concealed, so he had to answer honestly: "Last night, the Dong family sent someone to tell me to go there this morning. And I was not allowed to talk to the master first, and he said this was the eldest lady. The servant had no choice but to comply with the order. As a result, when the servant arrived at Dong’s house, the lady personally handed the letter to the servant and asked the servant to tell the master... "
Shi Jie looked embarrassed and couldn't speak any more.
Shi Qingxue urged eagerly, "What did mother say? You should hurry up and say it!"
"Madam, she said, we will never see each other again in this life."
Shi Qingxue paused, and the letter in her hand slipped from her hand like autumn leaves and fell to the ground.
Shi Jie was shocked by Shi Qingxue's reaction. He wanted to pick up the letter, but he didn't dare.
After kneeling stiffly for a long time, he carefully shouted: "Liu Niang, Liu Niang!"
Shi Qingxue suddenly woke up, her big eyes suddenly turned red.
Dong Hui actually wanted to make peace with Shi Junhe!
This is something Shi Qingxue never thought of. How could this happen
Didn't Dong Hui always love Shi Junhe deeply? Why would you give up like this
Obviously she had made it clear to Dong Hui that day, and Dong Hui also expressed her understanding at the time and even agreed...
'The two are pure and will never meet each other in this life. '
Does it mean that she and Shi Baoning are no longer wanted
As Qingxue thought about it, the crystal tears slid down her cheeks uncontrollably, flowing more and more.
She didn't feel it herself, but Shi Jing was frightened.
Shi Jie thought very bitterly in his heart: If the master knew that he made Miss Sixth cry, would he still take his life? !
"Liu Niang, Liu Niang! I'm begging you, please stop crying, okay! Otherwise, otherwise..." Shi Jie had no choice but to care about any principles. He presented the letter with both hands and said: "Just pretend that I have never been to Dong's house, and have never seen this letter. Just pretend that everything has never happened. Do you think this is okay?"
Shi Jie had no choice but to come up with such a bad idea.
Shi Qingxue's hand was stuffed with a letter, and she was stunned for a while before she came back to her senses and repeated: "Take it as if it didn't happen?"
Shi Jie nodded hurriedly.
Anyway, this letter was sent to Shi Junhe. As long as the letter was not delivered, the reasonable things that the madam said would not count, and he would not have to give his head to be scolded.
You know, he had just guessed that this letter might be when Dong Hui was about to reconcile with Shi Jun, and he felt much more miserable than now.
Now that he could throw this scapegoat away, he felt relieved.
Shi Qingxue held the letter in her hand, with thoughts running through her mind.
Although she was not as optimistic as Shi Jie thought, she felt that as long as the letter was not delivered to Shi Junhe, everything would be fine.
But now that the letter is in her hands, she might be able to do something to redeem it.
The first person Shi Qingxue thought of was Mo Junyang, and she immediately grabbed the letter and walked out.
As soon as he walked out of the gate of Dongyuan Courtyard, he bumped into Shi Baoning.
Seeing her in a hurry, Shi Baoning couldn't help but ask, "Are you still planning to go out for the wild today?"
Shi Qingxue didn't notice that Shi Baoning used the wrong words. When she saw the eldest sister, she felt like she had seen a savior and hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.
She couldn't help but think: Although Mo Junyang is very capable, the distant water can never save the nearby fire.
Shi Baoning is of the same mind as her, and maybe he can help find a way to win back Dong Hui's heart.
When he was about to tell Shi Baoning all the reasons for the incident.
After hearing this, Shi Baoning frowned deeply and looked at Shi Qingxue coldly for a while, until he became nervous, and then asked in a cold voice: "Why did you open father's letter privately?"
Shi Qingxue: "..."
She thought Shi Baoning had thought of some important issue, but she didn't expect that the other party's focus was on such an insignificant matter.
Unable to help but sigh in disappointment, she reminded Shi Baoning to pay attention to the key points, but she didn't expect that the other party would become unresponsive.
Qingxue was so angry that she handed the intact letter to Baoning and said coldly: "You see! I didn't open my father's letter. Are you satisfied now?"
Shi Baoning glanced at the unopened letter, his face turned red with embarrassment, and said sarcastically: "Since you didn't open the letter to my father, how do you know that your mother is going to reconcile with your father?"
Shi Qingxue couldn't bear it and rolled her eyes, "Mom even said such words about breaking up, what if it wasn't reconciliation..." Don't you know how to use your brain to think about it
Fortunately, she finally remembered that the other party was her sister and did not really say those words, otherwise the sisters would become enemies.
Shi Baoning couldn't refute Qingxue's words and fell silent.
For a long time, Qingxue almost couldn't wait any longer, and then she slowly said, "What does this have to do with you?"
"What?" Shi Qingxue asked back, almost thinking that she heard wrongly
But the other party's serious look clearly told her that she heard correctly.
The other party was accusing her of being nosy.
Shi Qingxue suddenly felt an unknown fire rushing into his heart, and he could hardly suppress his temper. Fortunately, her reason reminded her at the critical moment.
She just pointed out coldly with a stern face: "The protagonists in this matter are our father and our mother. They want to reconcile. Do you think you care about our affairs?"
Shi Qingxue thought that she had made her words so clear. Even if Shi Baoning was numb, he should be grateful.
Who would have thought that the other party just had an indifferent face and smiled sternly: "Men are so fond of the new and hate the old, and they are greedy for beauty. It's not surprising that a mother would make such a choice. As daughters, shouldn't we covet her for support? ?"
The weirdness in Shi Qingxue's heart reached its peak at this time. She finally understood what was wrong!
In other words, something was wrong with Shi Baoning.
It seemed that when Shi Junhe wanted to take a concubine, Shi Baoning acted strangely, always in mocking mode, even with a sense of cynicism.
"Sister, you..." Shi Qingxue looked at Shi Baoning suspiciously.
Shi Baoning was startled by the flickering suspicion in his eyes, almost thinking that his thoughts were exposed.
Shi Baoning pretended to be calm and grabbed Shi Qingxue's words, "What's wrong with me? I'm very fine."
But the more this happened, the stronger Shi Qingxue's feeling became.
She stared at Shi Baoning for a long time, and suddenly realized something.
Then Shi Baoning asked seriously with a nervous expression: "Is it true that the eldest brother has fallen in love with another woman and wants to take a concubine?"
Shi Baoning was stunned.
Shi Qingxue mistook her stupor for acquiescence, and immediately cursed angrily: "Humph! Big brother is so bad! No, I have to teach him a lesson!"
As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves, as if she really wanted to fight Wen Renchi for Shi Baoning.
"What are you talking about?" Shi Baoning blurted out after coming back to his senses.
This time when it was Qingxue's turn, she was stunned and at a loss.
Shi Baoning calmed down the turbulent emotions in his heart and continued to speak coldly: "I just told you not to meddle in other people's business. Don't you understand? You are an outsider. Why should you interfere with our husband's affairs?" , is it possible that you still want to use this to drive a wedge between us husband and wife? Tell me!"
The aggressive tone and unreasonable words were like sharp arrows, piercing straight into Shi Qingxue's chest, causing blood to drip from her chest.
She raised her head hurtly and looked at Shi Baoning, as if she still hadn't understood: Why was she so maliciously speculated and even relegated despite her good intentions for Shi Baoning's sake
After Shi Baoning vented all his resentment on Shi Qingxue, he happened to meet Qingxue's pure eyes.
There was hurt, doubt, and confusion inside, and all kinds of emotions were intertwined, but there was no resentment against her.
Even though she had been so rude and even insulted the other party just now, the other party never had the slightest bit of resentment.
However, just like this, Shi Baoning felt even more ashamed. He had no shame to face Shi Qingxue again, so he hid his face and ran away.
"Hey! Big sister!"
Shi Qingxue felt her hands at first, but in the blink of an eye she was confused by the other party's contradictory actions.
So what happened to Shi Baoning
Could it be that he was so shocked by the fact that Wen Renchi fell in love with another woman that he lost control of his emotions and became so capricious
Shi Qingxue didn't know that her thoughts were going astray. She thought she had guessed it right, and then decided to talk to Wen Renchi when she was free!
The behavior of a scumbag is unacceptable!
But the most urgent task now is to settle this major matter in her hands.
Shi Qingxue looked down at the hot potato in her hand and felt distressed.
So what should she do now
"Sixth sister, what are you doing standing here?"
Shi Qingxue woke up suddenly, and when she looked back, she saw Shi Baojing looking at her with concern.
"Second sister..." She called out in a low voice and asked instead, "Why are you here?"
Shi Baojing smiled shyly and said in a low voice: "My uncle and Prince Mo helped me with what happened last time. I have always remembered it in my heart, but because I have been busy with daily chores, I only have time to visit now. It's really I’m ashamed, I hope Sixth Sister won’t take offense.”
Shi Qingxue knew that Shi Baojing was talking about her marriage to Mo Junwen, so she immediately waved her hand and said with a smile: "You and His Highness are in love, we are just adult beauties, and you also helped us solve a big trouble. , it’s mutually beneficial for everyone, so there’s no need to worry about going back and forth.”
"I still have to thank you! If Sixth Sister hadn't interceded for me at that time, I wouldn't be able to figure out what kind of situation I would be in today. Now that I got what I wanted, it was all because of Sixth Sister's blessing!" Shi Baojing mentioned what happened that day. , my heart is still mixed with palpitations and happiness.
