Dong Hui paused for a moment, then when she understood, a look of horror suddenly appeared on her face. She pushed Shi Baoning straight and shouted angrily: "Ning'er, do you know what you are talking about?"
Shi Baoning looked at Dong Hui steadily, with a cold and sharp smile on his face, "Do you think if this hadn't happened, my daughter would have been lying?"
Dong Hui was speechless.
She didn't want to believe that Shi Qingxue would do such a ridiculous thing, but Shi Baoning's tears fell as soon as she said it.
The tears soaked Shi Baoning's face, making her whole face seem to be covered with a layer of mist. I felt pity for her.
Even if he is just a stranger, he will not be able to bear it when he sees a beautiful woman crying and will no longer criticize her harshly, let alone Dong Hui, who is a mother.
When she saw Shi Baoning crying, her original firmness suddenly disappeared. She just pulled Baoning into her arms and comforted her softly: "Stop crying! Why are you crying? Mom didn't mean to scold you. Mom is just..."
"You don't believe me!" Shi Baoning sobbed softly. It was obviously an accusation, but because her voice was weak and not strong, it made people feel even more sorry for her.
Dong Hui lost her temper completely and denied it repeatedly: "Mom does not disbelieve you. Really, I believe you are a good child and will never slander others with nonsense."
Dong Hui coaxed her for a long time, and Shi Baoning slowly stopped crying, but her eyes were red, like a frightened rabbit that might be frightened at any time.
Seeing Shi Baoning like this, how could she dare to say harsh words, but the fact that Shi Qingxue seduced Wen Renchi was even more like a fantasy to Dong Hui.
Dong Hui was really in a dilemma and could only ask tentatively: "Qingxue is not that kind of person. Is there any misunderstanding between you two?"
When Shi Baoning heard this, he immediately looked like he was about to cry again, and looked at Dong Hui with tearful eyes, "After all, mother still believes in my sister, not me..."
"No, that's not what I meant!" Shi Baoning looked at Dong Hui, who made her scalp numb and her heart tighten. She only cared about her heartache and couldn't ask any more questions.
After hesitating for a long time, Dong Hui raised her hand to wipe away the tears on Shi Baoning's face, and sighed helplessly: "Okay, mother understands what you mean. No matter what happens in this matter, mother promises you that A Chi will only have You are a wife who cannot take concubines, let alone marry Qingxue... "
Dong Hui felt embarrassed when she mentioned this matter.
Until now, Dong Hui still thinks that Shi Baoning's so-called "Emperor Nv Ying" is fanciful.
After all, Shi Qingxue's identity is there. It is impossible to marry someone else as a concubine under any circumstances, even if the object is Wen Renchi; even if the most extreme situation occurs - Shi Baoning dies of illness, Wen Renchi wants to marry again - Shi Qingxue It's also impossible to be someone's stepmother.
With Dong Hui's protection, Shi Baoning finally had a smile on his face, especially his eyes, which were bright and expressive.
Dong Hui couldn't help but laugh when she saw it, and joked: "Tsk! I was so happy when I heard that my mother promised not to let A Chi marry again. If he really lives with you for the rest of his life, wouldn't you be happy? died?"
Shi Baoning realized later and finally felt a little embarrassed, but still suppressed his shyness and said frankly: "Mom, my daughter is really brother Xinyuechi. She has been since she was a child. The only person she wants to marry in this life is him. , thank you mother for helping me."
Dong Hui was looked at by Shi Baoning's firm and resolute eyes, and was speechless for a moment.
Because she suddenly remembered that a long time ago, or before Shi Qingxue got close to Mo Junyang, all she considered was marrying Shi Qingxue to Wen Renchi, and then inheriting Duke Shi's inheritance after their child was born. Location.
As a mother, she almost never thought about the possibility of Shi Baoning and Wen Renchi.
Unexpectedly, God's will played tricks on people. Shi Qingxue only loved Wen Renchi as his own brother from beginning to end, and never thought about marrying Wen Renchi. On the contrary, Shi Baoning and Wen Renchi had no intention of marrying him.
Thinking of this, Dong Hui felt that she owed Shi Baoning, but at the same time she was even more sure that Shi Qingxue had no intention of Wen Renchi.
It's not Shi Baoning's turn to be the bride of this marriage.
However, Dong Hui couldn't tell such a big truth.
She sighed heavily in her heart, and with a strong face on her face, she assured Shi Baoning: "Don't worry, there will never be such a ridiculous thing as 'Ehuang Nv Ying' in our family."
"Ehuang Nv Ying" is a good talk, but it is limited to being a sage like Emperor Yao. If it were anyone else, it would just be a joke.
Even if Shi Baoning didn't say anything, she would not allow such a thing to happen in Shi Guogong's mansion.
Dong Hui and Shi Baoning had a heart-to-heart talk, and by the time they put on their makeup and walked to the lobby, everyone else had already taken their seats.
As soon as Dong Hui stepped into the door, she saw Shi Qingxue and Wen Renchi sitting next to each other, talking intimately, laughing, and occasionally touching each other.
It was originally a normal scene. Shi Qingxue and Wen Renchi were brothers and sisters, but now they have an aunt-lang relationship.
Be intimate but not obscene, and furthermore don’t be romantic.
But Dong Hui's eyebrows jumped when she saw it, and she couldn't help shouting: "Qingxue!"
Shi Qingxue was discussing anecdotes about the military camp with Wen Renchi, and was in high spirits when she was suddenly called by Dong Hui's name and was startled.
She looked at Dong Hui doubtfully, "Mom, what's wrong?"
As soon as Dong Hui finished shouting, she regretted that she was so obsessed that she couldn't help but shout out.
Moreover, the shouting was meaningless, but it made her think badly.
Facing Shi Qingxue's pure eyes, Dong Hui was embarrassed, but on the other side was Shi Baoning's heavy gaze.
She had no choice but to wave to Shi Qingxue and said, "Mom hasn't talked to you for a long time. Come and sit with me; your sister and brother-in-law should sit together when they get married."
Shi Qingxue tilted her head and looked at Wen Renchi's other side - they had obviously reserved a seat for Shi Baoning - and then looked at Dong Hui.
Blinking, although confused, he stood up obediently and helped Dong Hui sit down next to Shi Junhe.
In this way, Mo Junyang, who was sitting on the other side of Shi Qingxue, was opposite her.
Facing each other from a distance, they look like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl who were cruelly separated by the Queen Mother.
Mo Junyang's face was already gloomy, and now it was even more air-conditioned. No strangers were allowed in, and even the servants who served the dishes did not dare to approach. He hesitated, and finally walked around in a big circle and served it from the other side.
Just as Shi Qingxue was about to cover her mouth and chuckle, she met Mo Junyang's sinister eyes.
She was not afraid of Mo Junyang, but his glare still made her back feel cold, and she quickly winked at Mo Junyang in a flattering manner.
Silent show of goodwill: There is nothing I can do! This was all arranged by my mother!
Mo Junyang raised his eyebrows slightly: Were you snickering just now
Shi Qingxue quickly covered her mouth, revealing a pair of big bright eyes, twinkling, cute and playful: No, I didn't say anything.
The two of them flirted with each other and had a great time fighting.
Unexpectedly, from Dong Hui's point of view, every move they made was Shi Qingxue 'ogling' Wen Renchi.
Her heart skipped a beat again, and her face immediately darkened.
However, before Dong Hui could launch an attack, a servant from outside hurriedly came to report: "Master, something serious has happened. The second master died suddenly at home this morning after someone vented his anger!"
Shi Junhe had just raised his chopsticks when he suddenly heard the bad news. The chopsticks fell on the table with a bang and then rolled to the floor.
The silver chopsticks fell to the ground, making a crisp impact sound, which was even more clearly audible in the quiet lobby.
Shi Junhe stood up suddenly and asked the boy, "What did you just say?"
This boy was an errand boy. When he was suddenly shouted at, his legs went weak and he knelt on the ground. He repeated tremblingly: "Second Master, Second Master was found dead at home this morning. Second Mother ordered me to come here." A message to you, please, please leave immediately..."
Before he finished speaking, Shi Junhe strode out of the lobby like a storm and ran directly to the second master Shi Junfeng's home.
Others in the lobby were gradually coming back to their senses from the bad news of Shi Junfeng's sudden death, and they all looked at each other in shock.
It was Shi Qingxue who made up her mind: "Let's go and see if anything happens."
Although Shi Junhe already knew his true relationship with Shi Junfeng and Shi Juncai, he was the one who had called him brother for thirty or forty years, so it was impossible for him to truly ignore them.
Shi Junhe quickly rushed to Shi Junfeng's house, and Shi Baojing was already standing at the door to greet him.
Shi Baojing's face was solemn, and there was still sadness that could not be suppressed. She choked up as soon as she opened her mouth: "Uncle, you are finally here."
Shi Junhe patted Shi Baojing's shoulder reassuringly, silently comforting him.
But his face was heavy, "Don't cry first, tell uncle, what is going on?"
"The servant who was serving me this morning went to my father's room to call for him, but no one answered. But because my father had been getting up very late recently, he didn't care and just pretended that he was not awake yet.
Until half an hour ago, I happened to have something to discuss with my father. I came to look for him. When I heard no answer at the door, I felt uneasy. I asked a servant to open the door and found that my father was lying on the bed with his eyes wide open. He had been dead for a long time. Got it! "
Shi Baojing held back her tears. After finally explaining the matter clearly, she burst into tears. But she didn't know if it was because of her personality. Even if she cried, she would not make a sound.
She was just crying silently, but she looked even more pitiful.
However, Shi Junhe's brain was already occupied by the news of Shi Junfeng's sudden death, and he had no extra energy to take care of Shi Baojing's thoughts.
"Take me to Junfeng's room first."
Before seeing Shi Junfeng's body with his own eyes, Shi Junhe still refused to accept the fact that his second brother was dead and insisted on 'seeing is believing'.
Shi Baojing nodded silently, holding back the pain in his heart and leading the way.
When they reached the yard of the owner's house, the heart-wrenching cries in the house hit people's eardrums, and they were extremely sad.
Shi Junhe immediately recognized that the cry was from the second wife, Zhang Qiuyan. He paused, but then rushed into the room more eagerly.
The door of Shi Junfeng's bedroom opened to the north. Even at noon, the room was still a little dark.
As soon as Shi Junhe entered, he saw Zhang Qiuyan kneeling beside the bed, crying and crying. The person lying on the bed was Shi Junfeng, the second master of the time.
His eyes were wide open, and blood flowed from his seven orifices, covering his entire face, which looked particularly terrifying.
