Zhou Ruyu was talking vigorously when Shi Qingxue suddenly kicked her away so rudely, and her temper got worse, "Shi Qingxue, what do you mean? I'm going to put down my position and beg you for peace, why don't you do me a small favor?" Please say a nice word to our Baojin in front of Prince Mo. It’s okay if you don’t want to help, but you still dare to look down on me, you really have no rules at all!”
Shi Qingxue had no expression on her face. She spent her last bit of patience waiting for Zhou Ruyu to finish speaking, then turned to look at Xia Mang: "Send off guests."
Zhou Ruyu: "..."
Zhou Ruyu didn't expect that Shi Qingxue would do such a great job. His eyes widened, he raised his fingers and didn't say a word for a long time.
Xia Mang didn't expect that Shi Qingxue would drive people away without saying a word, but after she regained consciousness, she immediately carried out her master's order without any explanation.
Shi Qingxue drove the person away, and she was still so angry that she couldn't get rid of it. She was so angry that she wanted to hit him!
"What are you angry about?"
Mo Junyang's cold voice sounded from behind, startling Shi Qingxue.
She turned around, stared at the man who suddenly appeared in her boudoir in shock, and asked coldly: "When did you come?"
Mo Junyang didn't answer and asked repeatedly: "Why are you angry?"
Shi Qingxue was speechless at Mo Junyang's ability to distort questions, but when faced with that man's persistence, she could only answer honestly: "I don't like her describing our relationship like that, as if you are mine." A vassal or something lower. You are not."
Mo Junyang raised the corners of his lips and smiled slowly, "Then what am I? What is between us?"
This is the first time that the two of them have faced the huge problem that lies before them.
Shi Qingxue was speechless.
The time and place were wrong, so she shouldn't be discussing this topic with Mo Junyang here.
She wanted to escape again, but Mo Junyang forced her to the front, and she could no longer avoid it.
Shi Qingxue lowered her head and took a deep breath, as if she was making an important decision.
After a moment, she raised her head again, her face returned to calmness, and then she said in a calm and conclusive tone: "Mo Junyang, we are not suitable."
There is nothing more straightforward than these eight simple words, and it makes people understand Shi Qingxue's meaning better.
Mo Junyang looked at Shi Qingxue quietly. He knew that the other party tried his best to give him an answer that was completely unmistakeable, even if he didn't like the answer.
He didn't speak, or he had nothing to say at this time.
Shi Qingxue unilaterally denied their possibility, but he did not accept it.
The two were in a stalemate again. Even though they both felt embarrassed, they had nothing to say.
until…
"Li Niang, Er Niang is here and wants to see you." Xia Mang gently knocked on the door and whispered at the door, as if he was afraid of disturbing the conversation between the two people in the room.
Shi Qingxue wished that someone would 'excuse me', so she couldn't wait to respond: "I understand, I'll go to the living room right now."
After saying that, she looked at Mo Junyang in embarrassment. He suddenly appeared in her boudoir. How should she explain this to Shi Baojing
Mo Junyang seemed to have guessed her concerns and immediately said: "I came in after reporting to my servants."
In other words, Mo Junyang's appearance was reasonable and aboveboard.
Shi Qingxue felt relieved, bit her lips, and asked hesitantly: "Then are you going back?"
Mo Junyang shook his head and said instead: "I'll go with you. Speaking of which, I haven't seen your second sister for a long time."
Shi Qingxue was stunned. It wasn't until Shi Baojing and Mo Junyang chatted for a while that she suddenly came back to her senses and then remembered some things from her previous life -
Mo Junyang may really have some different feelings for Shi Qingxue, but he shows no mercy when dealing with political opponents, including the Shi family. After Mo Junyang ascended the throne, he almost wiped out the Shi family, including Shi Baochun, who was already married and had never been against him.
But only almost.
Mo Junyang left Shi Baojing behind without any excuse, like a madman who did whatever he wanted.
Shi Qingxue also thought Mo Junyang was a madman at first, but madmen did not have such precise calculations.
In other words, even if Mo Junyang is an out-and-out lunatic, he does things for a reason. The question is whether you can discover the reason.
Shi Qingxue now felt as if she had mastered some kind of secret. She stared at the conversation between Shi Baojing and Mo Junyang with flickering eyes.
There is a huge difference in status between the two, but Shi Baojing is calm and composed, and Mo Junyang is gentle and polite, making their conversation brisk and warm.
Shi Qingxue felt a little incredible. Could two people who had never been in contact really have a "happy conversation" so quickly
She didn't believe this coincidence. She glanced at Shi Baojing and saw no difference. She glanced at Mo Junyang and saw no clues.
But she knew clearly that the person who caused this situation was Mo Junyang. There is no evidence and no evidence is needed.
Shi Qingxue watched the conversation between the two calmly, with a thousand thoughts in her mind, until Shi Baojing turned her eyes to her and asked softly: "Qingxue, are you okay?"
"What?" Shi Qingxue realized that she was distracted and didn't even hear the content of the conversation between the two.
Shi Baojing didn't mind and repeated, "It's my grandfather's birthday in two days. My father agrees that my mother and I will go to Ning. Do you want to come with us to see it?"
After saying that, she smiled sheepishly and said, "Although my grandma's home is a bit crude, it has beautiful scenery and is suitable for relaxing."
Shi Qingxue raised her eyebrows in surprise. To be honest, she really didn't expect that Shi Baojing would invite her to go home to visit relatives. It was not because Shi Baojing's maternal family was poor, but because she and Shi Baojing had a normal relationship, and the other party came to invite her at this time. She obviously wanted to help her avoid the recent bad things happening in the Shi family.
Good intentions are good intentions, but why? !
Shi Qingxue didn't think it was necessary for Shi Baojing to do these things for her, but facing Shi Baojing's sincere eyes, she couldn't say no.
She knew that Shi Baojing really wanted to help her.
"Second sister kindly invites me. It would be disrespectful for a younger sister to refuse. What's more, I am also very interested in my sister's maternal grandfather's family!" Shi Qingxue took Shi Baojing's hand and said with a happy smile.
Shi Baojing breathed a sigh of relief and also laughed, "Yecheng County will definitely not disappoint you."
The two sisters were chatting happily. Mo Junyang did not interrupt but listened with interest. It was not until they decided on the itinerary that he slowly asked: "Who are you, Zeng Zhi, the magistrate of Yecheng County?"
Shi Baojing replied: "He is my little girl's uncle."
Mo Junyang smiled and said gently: "I made an appointment with Mr. Zeng before. It seems that I will go to Yecheng with you this time. I hope you won't mind, right?"
Shi Baojing was flashed by Mo Junyang's smile, and her face turned red. She could no longer maintain her dignity and calmness before. She lowered her head and stuttered in agreement: "No, how could it be? The prince is willing to come to Yecheng Zeng Home is the blessing of the Zeng family.”
Shi Qingxue watched the interaction between the two and was amazed - when did Mo Junyang become so good at flirting with girls? And Mo Junyang flirted with Shi Baojing...
Shi Qingxue wondered for a moment whether he had been drinking, otherwise why would he come up with such unreliable things.
However, the fact is that Mo Junyang and Shi Baojing stand together, two people with completely different styles of painting paired up against each other, and they look unexpectedly harmonious.
Shi Qingxue deliberately ignored the discomfort in her heart and began to seriously think about the pairing of these two people.
The more I thought about it, the more appropriate it became. Mainly because Mo Junyang's special treatment of Shi Baojing explained something. If Mo Junyang really becomes her second brother-in-law, there seems to be nothing wrong with it, right
Shi Qingxue suppressed the urge to become a matchmaker, thinking that they would go to Yecheng County together anyway, and they would know if they succeeded.
—
Yecheng County is located in the southwest of Kyoto. It is a small and relatively backward town. But as Shi Baojing said, the beauty lies in the beautiful scenery and pleasant climate.
February is still a cold time, but there is no snow in Yecheng. The spring breeze is blowing, which is a bit cool, but it also makes people feel comfortable.
Shi Qingxue was sitting on the carriage, admiring the spring scenery outside, thinking that it was right to go out this time. No matter what, at least she could relax and stay away from the dirty things in the third room.
It’s good to stay away for a while!
However, Shi Qingxue's good mood did not last long. It took them two days and one night to reach Zeng's house in Yecheng. As Shi Baojing introduced, the Zeng family was really poor. Even though Shi Baojing's grandfather was a great scholar at the time, he had passed away; even though Shi Baojing's uncle was the magistrate of Yecheng County, he had no outsiders.
So even if distinguished guests come, Mo Junyang will be assigned an independent room - this is already the best accommodation they can provide for Mo Junyang - next door is the room where Shi Baojing rents out Zeng Ru.
Zeng Zhi trembled and personally led Mo Junyang to the bedroom, and asked without confidence: "I wonder if Prince Mo is satisfied with this room? If you think there is anything wrong, I will lower the official..."
At this point, Zeng Zhi was also in a dilemma. What can he do? You can't let your father give up the room to Mo Junyang, right? Or ask Mo Junyang to find a first-class inn on the street. Maybe the environment will be better than here.
Zeng Zhi was worried, not only worried that Mo Junyang would be dissatisfied with this arrangement, but also worried that Mo Junyang would actually turn around and leave.
Mo Junyang looked at the simple residence with no unnecessary expression on his face. He just asked, "Where does Qingxue live?"
Zeng Zhi was stunned, not understanding why this big shot would care about where a little girl lived, but he still answered truthfully: "Shi Qingxue lives in the little girl's room with Xiaguan's niece. They are both little girls. There is something to be said for living together.”
Mo Junyang did not comment and said calmly: "Then I will live here, thank you Master Zeng."
Zeng Zhi didn't expect Mo Junyang to be so easy to talk to, and it was completely different from the rumors. He responded stupidly: "As long as the prince is satisfied, as long as he is satisfied."
In the eyes of outsiders, Mo Junyang seemed to be really satisfied with the residence arranged by Zeng Zhi. After moving in, he directly asked Wei Zichao to start making the bed, without any intention of disliking it.
Only then did Zeng Zhi feel relieved and took the initiative to invite: "Your Majesty, you have worked hard all the way. Why don't you have dinner with us tonight? It will be considered as a blessing for the Zeng family to cleanse you."
Mo Junyang frowned and glanced at Zeng Zhi, making him feel uneasy again.
Oh my god! Could it be that he said something wrong again and offended this god
Is it too late for him to withdraw the invitation now
Zeng Zhi thought a little desperately.
