Shi Junhe had a straight face and was originally prepared to scold Shi Qingxue if he didn't listen to the persuasion.
Unexpectedly, Shi Qingxue was unexpectedly obedient this time, but her attitude was too...
It's hard to describe.
In short, Shi's father was dissatisfied and blew his nose and glared at Shi Qingxue's back.
It was Dong Hui who grabbed Shi Junhe and persuaded her: "It's not like you don't know that your daughter has this temper. It's good if she is obedient. Don't worry about her so much!"
"Looking at her attitude, it doesn't look like she is sincerely obedient." Shi Junhe said doubtfully.
Shi Qingxue did a lot of things that were both overt and treacherous.
Dong Hui chuckled, "Okay, I just have something to say to her. She will understand your intentions."
She patted Shi Junhe's hand and went to Luotong Pavilion herself.
When Dong Hui arrived at Luotong Pavilion, Shi Qingxue was lying on the desk writing something. When he saw her coming, he hurriedly stuffed the paper behind him.
Before Dong Hui could approach, Qingxue hurriedly let her go, showing a bright smile, "Mom, why are you here?"
Dong Hui saw all of Shi Qingxue's little actions, but turned a blind eye to them. She only said teasingly: "What? Mother is not welcome now?"
Shi Qingxue didn't want to be fooled. She stuck out her tongue playfully and said with a smile, "Mother will make fun of her daughter. You know I didn't mean it that way."
"Okay, okay, I won't make fun of you. Don't be busy, come over and sit with me." Dong Hui took Shi Qingxue's hand and led her to the table to sit down.
Shi Qingxue felt guilty about being a thief, and always felt that Dong Hui's behavior must be "up to no good".
She was worried, and as soon as she sat down she couldn't help but ask: "Mom, what do you want to say to me?"
"How are you living in Luotong Pavilion these days?" Dong Huila started in a homely manner.
Shi Qingxue could only answer obediently: "My daughter has lived in Luotong Pavilion for nearly ten years, so it is naturally good."
Dong Hui nodded with satisfaction and asked, "How does it compare to Lanxun Villa?"
Qingxue paused, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but he still nodded and told the truth, "Nowhere is as comfortable as your own home."
Dong Hui smiled again, but said nothing.
He just held Qingxue's little hand and comforted her gently, as if he was just enjoying the rare intimacy between mother and daughter.
Shi Qingxue was a little nervous at first, always waiting for Dong Hui's next words, but as she waited, her heart gradually relaxed, and she couldn't help but cling to her mother's arms like before, acting coquettishly.
"Mom, my daughter misses you!" Qingxue murmured, inadvertently revealing the thoughts in her heart.
After New Year's Eve this year, she has been running around, either going to Tanshan to pray for her mother, or staying at Lanxun Villa to take care of her younger brother.
It is rare to have the opportunity to meet Dong Hui, let alone mother and daughter alone together like now, talking quietly.
Before this, especially when she saw Dong Hui expelling Shi Qingmin so ruthlessly, Shi Qingxue could not imagine that one day she could return to the intimate time with Dong Hui.
When Shi Qingxue's thoughts moved, her eyes couldn't help but feel slightly hot, and she quickly buried her head on Dong Hui's shoulder to block her gaffe.
Dong Hui felt the warmth on her shoulders, so she just put her arms around her daughter's shoulders, smiled slightly and said: "Okay, how old are you, and you are still acting like a baby with your mother!"
Shi Qingxue didn't even raise her head, and said dullly: "No matter how old she is, she is still her mother's daughter."
Dong Hui laughed. How could she have thought that Shi Qingxue had grown up before? Looking at her current appearance, she is clearly a baby who has not yet grown up!
Qingxue was laughed at by her mother, her little face became slightly hot, and she muttered dissatisfiedly: "I am no longer a baby, my brothers are! I have grown up!"
Dong Hui was startled, then smiled and stroked Shi Qingxue's silky long hair, sighing: "Yes! When we grow up, we will get married!"
Shi Qingxue: "Not so fast! The world is in chaos now, and if the rebellion is not resolved, let alone our family, the whole of Kyoto will not be at peace."
Dong Hui looked at Shi Qingxue helplessly, "Do you still want to go to Beidi in person?"
Shi Qingxue: "..."
She was told what she was thinking, but she didn't want to deceive Dong Hui, so she lowered her eyes and didn't answer.
"Why!"
Dong Hui smiled bitterly and shook her head. She knew her daughter's stubbornness, so she didn't get angry. She just sighed: "You and Baoning are both mother's biological daughters, but your temperaments are very different. If one of you marries a general, But I wish that this life would never have anything to do with the word 'war'; the other one is still in the boudoir, but he is obsessed with going to the battlefield to die. I really don't know what to do, mother!"
Shi Qingxue disagreed and curled her lips and said: "It's not like mother doesn't know the rules of our family. She's not afraid of dying on the battlefield, but is afraid of becoming a deserter. Even her daughter's family should understand the rules of the Shi family's army. The Shi family has never backed down. reason."
Dong Hui looked at her daughter's fearless expression and felt a little dazed for a moment.
She could understand Shi Baoning's retreat. No one wanted their child to lose his father before he was born. This fear could almost overwhelm people.
She remembered that when she was pregnant with Shi Baoning, one time when Shi Junhe went out to suppress bandits, she was left at home. She had no peace all day long and couldn't sleep all night. All she could think about was when Shi Junhe would come back.
What should she do if Shi Junhe really dies
She had felt this kind of fear once and didn't want to feel it a second time.
But the men of the Shi family!
Shi Junhe and Wen Renchi were not afraid of death, and she couldn't stop them from committing suicide.
Because these are the ancestral precepts of the Shi family and the rules of the Shi family army, they cannot be changed.
So on the one hand, Dong Hui is proud of Qingxue's bravery and determination, and she has also raised a child who is stronger than the boy, but she is more worried about her close relatives as a mother.
She thought that Shi Qingxue was still too young to deeply experience the pain and suffering of life, separation and death, so she was not afraid.
Ignorance leads to fearlessness.
But if Shi Qingxue knew about Dong Hui's worries, she would definitely refute it loudly!
To be honest, she understands death even better than Dong Hui.
But is it because he will die that he stops moving forward
Shi Qingxue would not do that!
She raised her chin proudly, like every proud family member, declaring her determination.
Of course, Shi Qingxue is not that kind of heartless guy.
She understood her mother's worries. Seeing that Dong Hui's face was not good, she quickly put her hand around Dong Hui's wrist and said with a sweet smile: "Mother, don't worry! Although my daughter is still a little unwilling, but I agreed to my father's matter. I'll still do it. I won't do anything on my own."
Last time she rebelled against Dong Hui at all costs and slipped away from the Shi family. There was nothing she could do about it. She had to save her father and brother.
But this time it was different. She wanted to bring Mo Junhao back personally, but if it really didn't work out, she wouldn't force it. Mo Junhao is not worth her trouble!
When Dong Hui heard Shi Qingxue's assurance, she finally had a smile on her face, but she was still a little worried and couldn't help but ask: "Since you promised your father, why not just move back home! "
"I'm not..." Shi Qingxue opened her mouth, and only when she met Dong Hui's encouraging eyes did she understand the meaning of the other party's words.
She was stunned for a moment and fell silent.
Although Dong Hui never drove her away, the fact was that during this period, she lived outside far longer than at Shi's house.
She even acquiesced that this would be the case in the future.
But Dong Hui now asked her to move back to Shi's house.
Shi Qingxue was not unhappy, but what followed was more melancholy.
She lowered her head and was silent for a while.
Then he asked in a low voice, "Don't you want to isolate me from my brother-in-law?"
Dong Hui had a panic look on her face and blurted out: "How did you know?"
She quickly covered her mouth to prevent herself from saying anything she shouldn't say.
But the words that have been said are enough to explain everything.
"Sure enough." Shi Qingxue showed a clear expression.
If she had only vague guesses before, now she is truly certain.
Now it was Dong Hui's turn to feel uneasy.
She carefully observed Shi Qingxue's expression and felt strange when she saw that the other party didn't have an obvious aura.
I couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you angry?"
Shi Qingxue was silent for a moment, then shook her head, "There is nothing to be angry about. You are also thinking about your sister and brother-in-law's marriage, aren't you?"
In a sense, Dong Hui did choose to preserve Shi Baoning's marriage and give up Shi Qingxue.
Even though she could act righteously at other times, when she really faced Shi Qingxue, she couldn't help but feel guilty, "I'm sorry, mother..."
Dong Hui struggled for a long time, but couldn't find a suitable explanation.
Everything has been done, and any more excuses seem unnecessary. Instead, they seem to be trying to cover up.
"Nothing to be sorry for." Shi Qingxue replied calmly.
Dong Hui felt guilty and impatient. Qingxue wanted to say something when he pulled her back, but Qingxue blocked Dong Hui's words first and smiled slightly, "Mom, I'm serious, you really don't need to say sorry. Daughter. I understand your good intentions. It’s just..."
Having said this, Shi Qingxue suppressed her smile, her eyes became solemn and solemn, and she said in an extremely solemn tone: "It's just that I must explain to you that my brother-in-law and I really only have a brother-sister relationship, and there is no personal relationship that cannot be seen." , please don’t misunderstand me, mother.”
Such calmness and solemnity made Dong Hui feel that her previous thoughts had become extremely dirty.
While she was ashamed, she also smiled with relief, "Okay, mother believes in you. Your mother trained you. What kind of person you are, mother can naturally trust you. Even if this matter is over, none of us will If you mention it, how about you move back home, okay?"
Dong Hui felt guilty about Shi Qingxue and wanted to make amends even more.
Shi Qingxue's eyebrows were still slightly frowned.
She looked at Dong Hui silently for a while, then whispered: "Mom, it's impossible for my daughter to leave Qingmin alone. If my daughter moves back, how will my mother treat Qingmin?"
Shi Qingxue believes in Dong Hui's love for her, but she doesn't know what choice Dong Hui will make between his love for her and his disgust for Shi Qingmin
