After Shi Baoning left the study from Shi Qingxue, in addition to the horror of being suddenly frightened by the skull, there was also a trace of jealousy on his face.
It wasn't obvious, but everyone present knew her very well, so how could they not see what was going on in her mind
Dong Hui understood the 'grievance' in Shi Baoning's heart, but both of them were her own daughters, not to mention that this incident was not caused by Shi Qingxue.
Whether it was blaming Shi Qingxue or comforting Shi Baoning, it made no sense.
She was trying to cover it up and pretend it didn't happen.
Shi Junhe said, "Hui Niang, you and Chi'er go out. I have something to tell Ning'er."
"Sir, this..." Dong Hui saw Shi Junhe's solemn face, and was about to stop them for fear of another conflict between their father and daughter.
But Shi Junhe only shook his head at her silently and firmly, indicating that she would do as he said.
Dong Hui had no choice but to go out with Wen Renchi.
When Shi Junhe and Shi Baoning were the only ones left in the room, Shi Baoning could no longer bear the grievance in her heart.
Without waiting for Shi Junhe to ask questions, he took the lead and asked, "What? Does father want to teach me a lesson for sister Qingxue again this time?"
Facing Shi Baoning's aggressive questioning, Shi Junhe remained calm and asked, "Then what do you think you need me to teach you for your sister?"
Shi Baoning choked and looked ugly.
After a while - maybe because it was only Shi Junhe - she didn't bother to pretend, and hummed directly: "Father, you don't have to talk to your daughter about words, I know you will definitely want to lecture me again, thinking that I can't treat Qingxue with such a bad attitude, think She is the most innocent one, but have you ever thought about my feelings?"
As Shi Baoning spoke, tears fell down her cheeks, which made me feel pity for her.
She didn't wipe it, but continued to look directly at Shi Junhe with accusing eyes, and asked coldly: "Obviously I am my grandfather's eldest granddaughter. Your eldest daughter should be better than Qingxue in terms of age and status." Gao. But when my grandfather entrusted me to others before his death, not only did he not choose me, he probably forgot about me at all, right? Otherwise, how could outsiders not know that I am also your biological daughter
Just now in the living room..."
Shi Baoning recalled the scene at that time, with a look of pain and embarrassment on his face. After a while, he suppressed it again, regained his composure, and continued: "I think there is no place I can't compare to Qingxue, and I even know that I As a person, I have learned restraint and dignity since childhood. Although I cannot achieve the level of my grandmother, it is still better than Qingxue, who has been playful and willful since childhood... "It's ten times, a hundred times better!"
She didn't finish her next words, and finally swallowed them under the eyes of Shi Jun and Leng Ran.
But the resentment and unwillingness on his face could not be completely taken back.
Shi Junhe saw it clearly, and his thoughts were indescribably complicated.
It wasn't that he didn't understand Shi Baoning at all - he had had the same doubts when he was in the living room just now, wondering why Shi Lei chose to entrust the young and unreliable Shi Qingxue instead of him.
Even his mood was a little sour at the time.
But now, he has no such intention at all.
Facing Shi Baoning's jealousy that he could no longer hide, Shi Junhe asked calmly: "What would you do if it were you?"
"What?" Shi Baoning was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what his father was asking.
If Shi Lei entrusted her with the relic wrapped in red cloth and handed it to her, she would open it and suddenly see the bones inside...
With the visual impact, Shi Baoning was probably so frightened that he threw away all the 'relics' on hand.
When Shi Baoning thought of this, her face changed color again, and her original confident arrogance disappeared. However, she refused to show her timidity in front of Shi Junhe and straightened her chest, "I, I know that it is a relic left by my grandfather, even if No matter how scary it is, I will take good care of it and nothing will go wrong."
"Really?" Shi Junhe responded noncommittally. With his indifferent attitude, he didn't know whether he believed it or not.
Just when Baoning was anxious, he slowly opened his mouth and continued to ask: "Okay, we all know that you will treat your father's relics well, but what happens next? How do you plan to fulfill your grandfather's last wish?"
Shi Baoning looked at Shi Junhe with a confused face, not knowing what he meant? "What last wish? The shopkeeper of Youji Pawnshop didn't tell my grandfather what his last wish was? He just asked Qingxue to treat this... human bone kindly, and nothing else."
She was also present at the time, although shopkeeper You Ji's last few words were very quiet and she couldn't hear them very clearly, but judging from the confused look on Shi Qingxue's face afterwards, she definitely didn't say anything important.
Shi Junhe smiled helplessly, "Do you think that if your grandfather didn't really have something important to entrust to you, he would still have someone send a skull to your door so many years after his death? Is it really just to leave a souvenir for future generations
If this is the case, then the thing should not be given to Qingxue, nor should it be given to you, but should be given to me first! "Shi Junhe calmly stated this fact.
Shi Baoning couldn't accept it, but shouted excitedly: "Then my grandfather didn't make it clear what he wanted to do, right? He played riddles with us, and of course we couldn't guess it!"
But Shi Junhe shook his head, looked out the window far away, and replied calmly: "No, Qingxue will guess it eventually."
Although Shi Qingxue seemed to be as confused as them now, he firmly believed that Shi Lei's vision was not wrong.
His original intention was to tell Shi Baoning that Shi Lei chose Shi Qingxue because Qingxue had this ability, so they had nothing to be dissatisfied with.
However, these words seemed to 'step on' Shi Baoning's tail, making her angry again: "In the end, you all think Shi Qingxue is the best, and I can't do anything! No matter how hard I try, I can't compare to Not as good as your most beloved granddaughter and daughter, right?"
Shi Baoning asked loudly, venting all the grievances he had suffered because of Shi Qingxue over the years, tears streaming down his face, and he kept accusing: "I know I have a dull temper and can't say nice things, no. Shi Qingxue is so good at pleasing people, but over the years I have been trying my best to do my best, just to get your favor and your praise!
But what about you? Shi Qingxue's auspicious and flattering words can make you smile, but no matter how hard I try, I can't get the same treatment as her
Why? ! We are all the same. Even though I am a princess, I am only more noble and dignified than her. Why do you still favor a bitch who knows nothing about heaven and earth, but ignore me... "
The more Shi Baoning spoke, the more intense his words became. In the end, he even said something to slander Shi Qingxue. Shi Junhe was so angry that he slapped her, interrupting the rest of her words.
Shi Junhe's chest rose and fell, he was breathing heavily in his mouth and nose, his eyebrows were furrowed, he was obviously extremely angry.
"Okay, okay, okay!" He laughed angrily and said "ok" three times in a row, staring at Shi Baoning with stern eyes like an eagle.
Baoning felt a cold sweat break out from behind him before he sneered coldly: "I didn't expect that in your heart, Qingxue has been reduced to such a miserable state as a bitch?! That's great! You finally said it. What’s in my heart!”
Shi Baoning realized that he had made a mistake, but he was unwilling to apologize for what he had said, so he lowered his head and said nothing.
A default look.
When Shi Junhe saw it, he was angry and couldn't help but cursed: "Shi Baoning! You touch your conscience and think about it carefully. Qingxue has not done enough for you in the past two years? Regardless of the danger, he personally I went to Mang Mountain to seek medical treatment for you. When you were well, I took you to the banquet. Later, I worked hard to bring you and Chi'er together... "
"No! She's not doing it for me, she's doing it for herself!" Shi Baoning shouted loudly, unwilling to accept Shi Junhe's unilateral rebuke.
Shi Junhe curled his lips and sneered: "Oh? Then tell me, why is it that she does all this for herself?"
Shi Baoning pursed her lips and said: "Who doesn't know now that Divine Doctor Shen is actually Prince Mo's person, and Prince Mo obeys her words. The so-called 'Mangshan doctor search' was just an act! She did everything for me. Your name is just to show off your noble moral character, right?"
Shi Junhe: "..."
He felt the anger rushing from his lungs to his mind, almost bursting out, but he suppressed it and only looked at Shi Baoning to continue speaking.
Shi Junhe would like to know how blind his adopted daughter is, ignoring the sincere kindness of her biological sisters, and instead claiming that it's all 'for herself'
Baoning felt Shi Junhe's cold sharp eyes, and her scalp felt numb, but she continued in a cold voice, "The same goes for those banquets. She said they were bringing me into the circle of nobles, but in fact she was just using them to show off in front of nobles. , not only did I stand out, but I also gained a good reputation for uniting sisters, which is like killing two birds with one stone!"
Shi Junhe never expected Shi Qingxue's good intentions, but when it came to Shi Baoning, both of them were selfish and took advantage of others.
Even if Shi Qingxue is sincere and everything she does is seen in the eyes of anyone with eyes, they will also know who she is doing so much for
For example, Shi Qingxue didn't know that Shen Luo was Mo Junyang's before she went to Mangshan for medical treatment, and she was almost framed by Shi Baoyan and lost her life in Mangshan;
For example, Shi Qingxue never liked to appear in aristocratic circles, and every time she had to stand up for her sister because Shi Baoning was making things difficult for her;
Another example…
All of this is so clear and obvious, but one should never wake up a person who is pretending to sleep.
Shi Baoning had already determined that everything Shi Qingxue did was for himself - perhaps the only way to escape the condemnation of his conscience - so how could he think deeply about the flaws in his explanations
Shi Junhe didn't even sneer this time, he only asked: "...what else? Then Qingxue tried her best to bring you and Chi'er together so that you two lovers can finally get married. Is she doing this for herself?"
When Shi Baoning heard this, instead of feeling guilty, he asked in a sharp voice: "If she really did it for me, how could she seduce her brother-in-law behind my back?"
