Chapter 145: Provoke the Shi Family

It was unstable in Duke Shi’s mansion these days. Three ladies were outside and nobody knew if they were still alive.

Shi Junhe was so anxious that he couldn’t sleep or eat well.

But no matter if he sent a message or asked to see the emperor, there was no reply. And Mo Xiangbin even cancelled the imperial court session in the morning these days probably to avoid seeing him.

Shi Junhe couldn’t figure out what Mo Xiangbin was thinking about, but he understood that the imperial palace didn’t plan to interfere in the fight between the Shi Family and King Rui’s mansion.

Both King Rui’s mansion and the prison were heavily guarded. He could never take her daughters back from Mo Junyang unless he transferred the Shi Army regardless of anything.

Looking at his wife’s always worried face, the old man could do nothing but sigh.

Wenren Chi was also anxious and said impulsively, “Father, how about I choose a team from the City Guardian Army to take back Baoning and Qingxue?”

Shi Junhe looked cold and rebuked, “Don’t mess around. The Shi Army is an armed force, and isn’t your City Guardian Army the same? Moreover, there are all kinds of people in the City Guardian Army, and there might be more trouble. I am afraid that before you transfer your soldiers, you have lost your official position.”

And there was one more problem. Shi Qingxue and Shi Baoning were not in the same place. Even if Wenren Chi could find some people to save them, he couldn’t save them together.

“But shall we watch them suffer and do nothing?” Wenren Chi had heard that Shi Qingxue was poisoned and in a coma. He didn’t know the poisonousness of the Lethal Seven, but he was restless as she had been unconscious for so many days.

Shi Junhe sighed helplessly and was about to speak when Zhou Ruyu pushed the door open and entered in a hurry. She cried in front of him. “Brother, you must save Baoyou! If you don’t do anything, they would be done.”

It was Shi Junhe’s first time to see that Zhou Ruyu ignored her manners, and he got nervous. “What happened? Can you make it clear?”

“Mo Junyang went crazy. He actually skinned a daughter of our family and wants to kill them.” Zhou Ruyu cried her heart out and was overcome with sadness.

The three were scared by her words, and Dong Hui stomped with anxiety, cursing to the sky, “Damned Mo Junyang. If he really dares to hurt my daughters, I will kill him at the risk of my life.”

“Hui, be calm.” Shi Junhe had seen a lot and calmed down soon after the shock. He held the furious Dong Hui in his arms and then asked Zhou Ruyu, “Who did His Excellency skin? Who would he kill? Who has seen that? How are they now?”

The four questions were to the point and made Zhou Ruyu nervous. She felt lucky in secret. Fortunately she had prepared. Otherwise, she would be stunned to hear these questions.

She covered her face and concealed the emotion on her face. Then she said in a sorrowful voice, “Juncai happens to know a guard in the prison, who witnessed everything. Brother, if you don’t believe me, you can ask that prison guard.”

While speaking, Zhou Ruyu gestured for a servant to bring a man dressed in the guards’ uniform in the prison. The man knelt down and kowtowed as soon as he saw Shi Junhe. “My Lord, good day.”

Shi Junhe waved his hand to tell him to get up and asked in a deep voice, “Who are you? What do you do? What have you seen?”

“My name is Zhang You, a guard in the prison. I heard from my colleagues that His Excellency found a butcher to skin somebody in the prison. And two hours ago, I saw some people from King Rui’s mansion carry out a stretcher from the prison, and the person on it was covered with a gauze all over which was stained with fresh blood. That was horrifying.”

Even though Shi Junhe had experienced a lot, he couldn’t help but tremble after hearing Zhang You’s words.

Dong Hui was frightened and almost fainted. Wenren Chi supported her, so she managed to stand steadily. Then she asked in a trembling voice, “Who is it? Who was injured?”

Zhang You shook his head awkwardly. “That person’s face was covered with her hair. I could see indistinctly that it was a woman. I couldn’t recognize her.

Oh, yes. I saw that the stretcher was carried to King Rui’s mansion.”

Zhou Ruyu said anxiously, “Brother, listen. I didn’t lie to you. The one who was injured must be Baoyou or Baoning. If you don’t save them, both of them might be killed.”

“Eh…” There was hesitation on Shi Junhe’s old face. On one hand, he thought Mo Junyang wouldn’t be so cruel to the Shi Family, but on the other hand, the truth was in front of them, and he couldn’t retort.

Dong Hui didn’t think as much as Shi Junhe. Hearing what Zhang You had said, she almost went crazy and didn’t care about anything else. “Junhe, nobody knows if Qingxue can stay alive. If we can’t save Baoning, are you trying to take my life? Please transfer the soldiers to save her.”

Shi Junhe couldn’t bear to see Dong Hui beg him and immediately nodded. “Fine. We will take more than ten servants to King Rui’s mansion. If it can’t work, I will transfer the Shi Army, okay?”

Dong Hui certainly agreed and pulled his arm, heading to King Rui’s mansion hurriedly. She was afraid that if they arrived late, she would lose two daughters.

In King Rui’s mansion, when Mo Junyang and Qu Yuebai returned to the Love Xue House, the young master of the Qin Family had been taken away, and Qu Yuexuan started a new amusement.

He stood in front of the cross leisurely and touched his jaw with one hand while looking at the unconscious Qin Yanyan on the rack. Nobody knew what he was thinking about.

“What evil thoughts do you have?” Qu Yuebai walked over and beat Qu Yuexuan’s head with his palm gently. While he was asking, his voice was more moderate than usual when he gritted his teeth, but he showed that it was not because he loved his brother, but he praised Qu Yuexuan fairly for distracting Mo Junyang.

Qu Yuexuan screamed and dodged, covering his head. Then he complained to Mo Junyang, “Junyang, discipline my brother. When you were not here, he almost bullied me to death!”

“Oh? Why can’t I see that?” Mo Junyang turned a blind eye.

“Whoo, Little Yuexuan, climbs on the ground. He is only three years old, but he loses his mother. He is so poor…” Qu Yuexuan was addicted to acting. He sang an unrhythmical song and pretended to cry.

Qu Yuebai was impressed but his face darkened. He slapped Yuexuan in the face mercilessly and rebuked in rage, “If Mother hears your words, she would definitely kill you.”

Qu Yuexuan begged for mercy in a hurry. “Good brother, I was just kidding. Don’t be angry. I will give your legs a massage. Are you tired? I will pour you a cup of tea…”

He behaved like a toady, which shocked others.

The brothers would only joke around without doing anything proper when they were together, and Mo Junyang would stop them at ordinary times, but at the moment, perhaps it was really depressing, so he didn’t feel annoyed but couldn’t help smiling.

Qu Yuebai sensitively observed that but he was wise and didn’t point it out. He continued to talk nonsense with Qu Yuexuan.

Then some servants carried a stretcher in.

Somebody was lying on it, and the thick gauze covered the entire body except the head. The long and messy hair hid his face and nobody could see what he looked like.

“Who is it? Why is he covered all over?” Qu Yuebai looked at the body several times in curiosity and didn’t recognize the person.

Qu Yuexuan smiled slyly. “Shi Baojin. Is she beautiful?”

Qu Yuebai was unable to reply.

He showed an inexplicable expression and was speechless at Qu Yuexuan’s twisted sense of beauty. He had to change the subject. “Why did you have her brought here?”

Shi Baojin was the direct murderer causing Shi Qingxue’s condition, but Qu Yuexuan sent some people to bring her. Wouldn’t he purposely make Mo Junyang angry?

Mo Junyang raised his head and met Qu Yuebai’s worried and frightened eyes. He gave Qu Yuebai a smile to comfort him and said indifferently, “I am fine and just want to know what Yuexuan is going to play?”

“Haha, we are going to play a game, and we certainly need some audience.” Qu Yuexuan walked to the cross excitedly and casually kicked the rack. “You have had enough sleep. Wake up.”

Qin Yanyan had no reaction.

Qu Yuexuan narrowed his eyes and smiled faintly. “It’s fine if you can’t wake up. Anyway, we are just going to skin you. If you don’t wake up, we won’t need to use the anesthetic.”

Qin Yanyan was still unmoved, as if she were in a coma and couldn’t wake up.

But the three present were not ordinary people and saw through her trick to play dead.

“Gee. In this case, I won’t show mercy.” Qu Yuexuan smiled mysteriously and walked to Qin Yanyan with the lance in his hand.

The cold blade was on Qin Yanyan’s face and made her tremble, but she still kept her eyes closed, thinking that she would be fine if she didn’t wake up.

Qu Yuexuan was playing hide-and-seek with Qin Yanyan and naturally didn’t mind his mouse struggling for longer, so he didn’t cut her but intentionally spoke out what he was considering. “Where should I start to cut? The arm?”

Qin Yanyan’s left hand clenched and quivered all of a sudden.

“Oh, the belly is better. The skin here is softer and easier to cut.”

Qin Yanyan’s belly sank in tightly.

Qu Yuexuan almost laughed out loud, and his brows showed that he was over the moon.

Qu Yuebai concealed his smile and uprightly interrupted his abnormal brother’s repulsive addiction. “Stop messing around. If you want to skin her, find a butcher. Aren’t you afraid of dirtying your hands?”

He thought he was kind-hearted, but facing the chief criminal, Qin Yanyan, he didn’t want to show mercy. If it weren’t for her, would they need to try every means to comfort Mo Junyang?

“But before we let her see what she would look like after losing her skin and be mentally prepared, what should we do if she is scared to death when she is being skinned?” Qu Yuexuan looked terrified and patted his chest, wanting to prove that he was the most gentle and kind-hearted person by what he did.

“Just cut her eyelids first, and then she can enjoy it.” Mo Junyang had kept silent earlier and watched the brothers from the Qu Family playing around. He suddenly spoke and frightened the two.

The two looked at each other and thought at the same time, “As expected, Mo Junyang is the real boss and would take action quickly and accurately with no mercy. Compared to him, it was so low that we teased the mouse.”

The brothers had no objection. One of them sent someone to find a butcher and the other dragged Shi Baojin to Qin Yanyan, smiling coldly. “Lady Qin, are you still unwilling to open your honored eyes?”

Next second, Qin Yanyan opened her eyes wide.

At the same time, a servant in the mansion ran in hurriedly. “Your Excellency, Duke Shi and his wife brought more than ten servants to ask for the three ladies. They said that if you don’t let them go, they would come in to start a fight.”
