Chapter 157: A Surprise

Shi Junhe was worried that undue delay might bring trouble, so he went back to the East House and told Dong Hui about Mo Shujun’s requirement. He even swore, “Hui, don’t worry. It’s just a temporary expedient to marry Leng Yan. I won’t get close to her. Let’s take her as a piece of valuable furniture in the East House, okay?”

Dong Hui instantly roared, “Shi Junhe! Don’t forget what you promised to me when you married me. You will never love anybody else. Now you even want to have a concubine? You have gone too far!”

“No, I didn’t mean it!” Shi Junhe wished that he had more mouths to explain. “I said it’s Mother’s requirement. If I want to save Qingxue, I have to marry Leng Yan. Otherwise, she will disown Qingxue.”

Dong Hui sneered and grunted, “Don’t mention so many excuses. I only remember that you promised to me, if you dare to have a concubine, we will end our relationship as a couple.”

Shi Junhe was shocked by Dong Hui’s cruelness and determination. After a long astonishment, he looked at her cold face and knew that she was not joking.

He sighed deeply and touched his forehead wearily. “What do you want me to do? Refuse Mother and watch her disown Qingxue?”

“I…” Dong Hui was at a loss for words. Of course she didn’t want something like this to happen, but she couldn’t accept that Shi Junhe would marry another woman, even if as a concubine.

She argued stubbornly, “Anyway, Qingxue is living in King Rui’s mansion now. Even if Mother will disown her, it won’t give her any bad effect. Haven’t you heard about how great she is as the people in the capital city say? Nobody would care about this trifle.”

Perhaps she was afraid that what she said was too cruel, and she then added in a hurry, “Moreover, the family tree is just a name. How would Qingxue care about it?

I won’t disown this daughter for this reason. I will give her everything that I should give. When she marries Mo Junyang someday, 64 dowries will be sent to King Rui’s mansion. She won’t suffer any loss…”

Dong Hui thought she made a proper arrangement, but Shi Junhe felt sadder as he heard that. At last, he couldn’t help but interrupt her, “I am afraid that you are going to give up Qingxue, right?”

Dong Hui denied immediately, “Of course not. Mo Junyang is the initiator of evil. If he didn’t grab Qingxue forcefully, how would we have no choice? Now he refuses to let her go. We can do nothing.”

Shi Junhe couldn’t bear to hear that allegation and expressed his opinion coldly and firmly, “I am Qingxue’s father. I would never give up my daughter!”

“So you can give me up because of her?” Dong Hui cried, with tears all over her face.

She emotionally patted Shi Junhe’s chest and cursed loudly, “I am your wife that you will spend the rest of your life with! How can you treat me like this? How can you…”

Dong Hui got more vehement while speaking, but seeing that Shi Junhe looked cold and stayed silent, she thought he would neglect her feelings and marry another woman to insult her. As if her heart were pinched, she felt the pain and could hardly breathe. Then she rolled her eyes and went faint.Read more chapters at Listnovel.com

“Hui!” Shi Junhe shouted automatically and felt heartbroken. He carried Dong Hui and reproached Mammy Zheng who was standing outside. “What are you doing? Call for a doctor!”

Mammy Zheng was petrified and then came to her senses after Shi Junhe glared at her. Then she ran out in haste.

Shi Junhe put Dong Hui on the bed and grabbed her hand. He regretted and hated himself, wanting to slap himself in the face.

“Hui, wake up. Be well. It’s my fault. If you really don’t want me to have a concubine, I won’t, but you can’t have anything wrong…” Shi Junhe didn’t look as calm as usual. He murmured without stopping and didn’t know what he was saying.

Doctor Qin came here in a hurry and didn’t dare to delay. He checked Dong Hui’s pulse directly.

The process was long and torturing. Shi Junhe was forced to make room for the doctor and walking back and forth beside the bed, like a cornered beast. In a short while, he had asked several times, “How is she?”

Before Doctor Qin checked her pulse accurately, he was scared by Shi Junhe and sweated on his head.

When he touched one point, he opened his eyes wide and surprise reflected on his face. Before he said something, Shi Junhe was panicked. “What happened? What’s wrong with her? Don’t lie to me.”

But Doctor Qin’s surprise turned into joy all of a sudden, and he stood up, bowing to Shi Junhe. “My Lord, congratulations. Madam is pregnant.”

“What?” Shi Junhe was petrified.

Doctor Qin continued happily, “I won’t make a mistake. I have checked three times. It’s a smooth pulse.”

Looking at Dong Hui in bed whose face was pale, Shi Junhe was still confused, stuttering, “But Hui is nearly forty years old. It’s…”

Duke Shi expressed that it was beyond expectation and he could hardly accept it.

Doctor Qin explained seriously, “Madam is pregnant at an older age, and this fetus is at risk. She can’t go faint again like today. She needs to be calm so that she and the baby will be safe.”

Needless to ask, the doctor guessed that the couple had a quarrel and Dong Hui fell into a coma out of anger. Although it was not close to the fact, Shi Junhe heard that and couldn’t help but feel guilty. He blushed and saluted. “Doctor Qin, thanks for reminding me. I will be more careful in the future. And please take good care of my wife. Thanks very much.”

Doctor Qin was the exclusive doctor employed by the Shi Family. Winning the family master’s trust, he hurriedly nodded to show his loyalty. “My Lord, please don’t worry. Madam is in good health these years. If there is no accident, she and the baby will be fine.”

But an accident had just happened.

Shi Junhe looked gloomy and sat on the bedside, in a confused state of mind.

He was clear why the unborn baby was affected, and just now he swore that if Dong Hui didn’t want him to marry Leng Yan, he was unwilling to see her feeling sad.

Moreover, he had such a perfect excuse.

“If Mother knows that Dong Hui is pregnant, she won’t force me to marry Leng Yan!” Shi Junhe thought and heaved a sigh of relief. He couldn’t help but gently put his hand on Dong Hui’s belly.

Even though he couldn’t feel anything, his eyes softened, and he smiled, whispering, “Baby, you came secretly and frightened your father, but you will save your mother and sister. Good kid…”

Shi Junhe made a decision. After Dong Hui woke up, he shared the good news with her and expressed on the spot, “Since you are unwilling, I won’t marry another woman to make you unhappy. You can rest assured!”

Hearing that she was pregnant, Dong Hui was overjoyed and rubbed her belly again and again. When Shi Junhe assured her, a touched and happy expression was on her face.

Shi Junhe reached out to hold her in his arms and comforted her softly. Then he stated firmly, “I will report the good news to Mother and then tell her that I won’t marry Leng Yan.”

“Okay!” Dong Hui heard that and felt happier, but she was afraid that somebody would make trouble out of it, so she reminded him in a low voice, “Talk with Mother calmly. She will understand you. Remember that you can’t argue with her in front of others.”

If somebody argued with the elder, no matter for what reason, the younger one was wrong from the beginning. Dong Hui didn’t want to give others a chance to curse Shi Junhe for disrespecting the elders.

Shi Junhe glanced at Dong Hui deeply, but she was in his arms with shyness and didn’t notice the gloom in his eyes.

In the Shou’an Hall

After learning the news that Dong Hui was pregnant, Mo Shujun was dumbfounded, as if she were struck by lightning.

After Shi Junhe expressed his happiness fluently and mentioned that he wouldn’t marry Leng Yan, he found that Mo Shujun was still stunned.

He was in doubt and waved his hand. “Mother, what’s wrong with you?”

“Go ahead!” Mo Shujun responded subconsciously and happened to meet Shi Junhe’s astonished eyes. She realized that she was absent-minded evidently.

She straightened her back and coughed before asking, “You said Dong is pregnant? What a coincidence.”

Shi Junhe noticed Mo Shujun’s doubt and felt uncomfortable, but he still answered frankly, “Just now Hui felt unwell by accident. I asked Doctor Qin to treat her and found that she is pregnant. If you don’t believe it, you can ask another doctor to check on her.”

Mo Shujun didn’t feel awkward because of Shi Junhe’s words but showed a weird smile. “She felt unwell by accident?”

“Mother, what do you mean?” Shi Junhe couldn’t help but ask in a deep voice, looking unfriendly.

Mo Shujun snorted and ridiculed. “It happened in the past. Why are you so angry?”

Shi Junhe’s eyes were cold, and he didn’t reply.

“You don’t believe it?” Mo Shujun pursed her lips and the smile in her eyes faded. “I want to ask you. Do you remember that when Dong carried Baoning, she almost had a miscarriage by accident?”

Shi Junhe was stunned for a while. After nearly fifteen minutes, he remembered what happened then.

He just asked in confusion, “At that time, some distant relatives of Father’s came to visit, and it was messy in the mansion. As my wife, Hui wanted to take care of the guests, but she almost had a miscarriage because that girl, my cousin brought a musk sachet with her. As a result, Father told that family to leave our mansion, and I dealt with it in person. How could I forget it?”

Dong Hui had been pregnant for five or six months, and they thought there must be nothing wrong, but such an accident happened. Dong Hui managed to keep the baby, but Shi Baoning was born weak and always sick in bed. While the doctors told them that it was difficult for Dong Hui to carry another baby…

Till now, when he thought of it, he still felt scared and hated that cousin to the bone who had harmed Dong Hui.

At the moment, Mo Shujun asked out of the blue, “Do you know that I wanted to marry that cousin to you?”

Shi Junhe frowned and said nonchalantly, “Mother, say whatever you want.”

“On the second day after I told Dong about it, she almost had a miscarriage because of a musk sachet, which belonged to your cousin. Don’t you think it was weird?”
