Chapter 172: The First Fight after Going Back Home

Shi Qingxue heard Mo Shujun’s words, but she didn’t leave or even move, as if she wouldn’t go away until she greeted her grandmother.

However, Leng Yan waited for a while but Mo Shujun didn’t plan to give in. She thought, “It’s said that His Lordship dotes on his youngest daughter very much, and Shi Qingxue is outstanding in the mansion and even in the imperial palace. After I marry into the East House, I might need her help, so it’s better to do her a favor first.”

Then she explained to Mo Shujun, “Lady Qingxue came to visit you as soon as she returned home. Obviously, she puts you before anybody else…”

Mo Shujun was sophisticated and saw through Leng Yan immediately. She peered at Leng Yan with a faint smile and made her blush and unable to say more before she looked away.

But she didn’t rebuke Leng Yan. Instead, she thought, “I have decided to marry Leng Yan to Junhe, but with Dong Hui’s position, even if Leng Yan has a child in the future, she wouldn’t live happily. If she can win over Shi Qingxue, everything will be smoother in the future.”

At this thought, Mo Shujun smiled and asked, “So Qingxue really respects me?”

Leng Yan answered respectfully, “Princess Royal, you have brought her up, so she certainly takes you to heart.”

Mo Shujun laughed heartily and ordered Leng Yan purposely in a voice that could be heard outside, “Since you ask for mercy for her, I will give her a chance. Go out and bring her in.”

Shi Qingxue was led into the room by Leng Yan.

She looked calm as usual all the way and didn’t seem to feel grateful because Leng Yan helped her. Mo Shujun’s face darkened again, and she stayed silent when Shi Qingxue bent down to salute her.

Qingxue hadn’t suffered like this for a long time. After she squatted for less than fifteen minutes, she felt her legs numb, but she gritted her teeth and remained unmoved.

After nearly another ten minutes, Mo Shujun put down the teacup and asked slowly and coldly, “You know you should come back home, huh?”

Shi Qingxue looked peaceful and didn’t feel resentful. She answered politely, “I was poisoned and didn’t recover in the past few days. King Rui and Mo Junyang kindly told me to recuperate in their mansion. I have recovered today, so I should come back home.”

She said those words in order to show that it was not that she didn’t want to return home. After all, she hadn’t recovered, and she might not help even if she came back. And at the same time, she told Mo Shujun when she had recovered, she returned home as soon as she regained her memory and came to greet Mo Shujun first. If Mo Shujun wanted to blame her, she would be unreasonable.

The last point was hidden. She mentioned King Rui, so Mo Shujun couldn’t reproach her for her relationship with Mo Junyang even if she wanted to.

After all, as a younger, she should know that she couldn’t refuse an elder’s kind offer.

Mo Shujun was depressed and wanted to reprimand Shi Qingxue, but she could say nothing. At last, she had to snort crossly. “You are a better talker.”

Shi Qingxue took it as a compliment and nodded happily with a smile. “Grandma, you are a good teacher.”

Mo Shujun was unable to reply.

For the first time, she was annoyed by her granddaughter repeatedly but could do nothing to her. She waved her sleeve furiously and told the girl to leave. “Didn’t you come to greet me? Now you have done. Why don’t you leave?”

“Grandma, since you said that, I won’t disturb you when you have a nap.” Shi Qingxue bowed to Mo Shujun quickly and then left under the old lady’s astonished eyes.

Mo Shujun wanted to retreat for the sake of advancing and ignore Shi Qingxue to frustrate her. She would ask her when the girl was dispirited.

Nobody knew if the girl didn’t understand or she played dumb, and she was “kicked out”.

What depressed her more was that she couldn’t tell Shi Qingxue to come back.

Shi Qingxue didn’t know how sulky Mo Shujun was. After leaving the Shou’an Hall, she felt relieved. Especially at the thought that she could see her parents soon, she was overjoyed.

She touched her chest and murmured, “It’s weird. Why does it change so much?”

Xia Mang followed her and didn’t hear clearly, so she asked, “My Lady, what’s wrong with you?”

“No, nothing!” Shi Qingxue shook her head and got rid of the complicated thoughts. “Go back to the Luotong Boudoir first to clean up for me. I will come after visiting my parents.”

Shi Qingxue joyfully stepped into the study of the East House. As expected, she saw Shi Junhe reading and Dong Hui accompanying him.

Both of them were stunned to see her. Shi Junhe came to his senses first and asked with a frown. “What are you doing here?”

Shi Qingxue was astonished this time. Why did Shi Junhe mean that she wasn’t supposed to be here?

But soon she remembered what Shi Junhe had said in the Love Xue House and believed that he was the one who loved her most. So, her grievance disappeared soon.

Shi Qingxue moved closer to Shi Junhe with a smile and tried to please him. “Father, I miss you so much. Of course I come back to see you as soon as I can remember you.”

“So you have regained your memory?” Shi Junhe was overjoyed and pulled Shi Qingxue over to check on her carefully. Then he asked worriedly, “Do you feel unwell? Shall I ask Doctor Qin to examine you?”

Shi Qingxue enjoyed being concerned by her father, but she didn’t want to take any medicine, so she hurriedly held Shi Junhe’s arm and acted like a spoiled child. “I have fully recovered. Junyang cured me, and I am fine now. Don’t need to bother Doctor Qin.”

Shi Junhe was stunned to hear that and raised his head subconsciously to look at the door.

There was nobody.

Shi Junhe’s expression changed all of a sudden and he asked Qingxue, “Where is His Excellency? Didn’t he come with you?”

“No! I came back home. Why would he come with me?”

Shi Junhe blurted out, “No way. He told us that he would never let you leave him. How could he easily let you go? Is there something wrong with you two?”

“Ah?” Shi Qingxue was petrified. She didn’t think so much because she could see her parents after going back home.

After Shi Junhe mentioned him, she suddenly realized that Mo Junyang’s attitude was unusual today.

But before Shi Qingxue could figure it out, Dong Hui held her shoulder and glared at Shi Junhe, pretending to be angry. “It’s great that our daughter comes back. It doesn’t matter what Mo Junyang thought. It’s better that he doesn’t pester her. I don’t want my excellent beloved daughter to be defiled by him.”

Shi Junhe shouted helplessly, “Hui!”

Dong Hui didn’t answer him but held Shi Qingxue to sit down. At the same time, she told Mammy Zheng to call for Shi Baoning.

“Is my sister in good health?” Shi Qingxue asked in surprise.

Dong Hui was more surprised than her. “Didn’t you ask Doctor Shen to cure Baoning?”

Shi Qingxue’s face stiffened, but Dong Hui didn’t care and thought that the girl had just regained her memory and must be in a daze. Then she told Qingxue what happened these days. When she mentioned that she was pregnant, happiness was shown on her face automatically.

“Mother, congratulations. Little brother would be as heroic as Father after he grows up.” Shi Qingxue also laughed.

Dong Hui goggled at Qingxue and pretended to be mad at her. “How do you know it’s a boy?”

Shi Qingxue took it for granted and nodded. “You have two lovely daughters. This baby must be my brother. He will be a hero and inherit the title gained by Grandpa with his effort.”

While speaking, she looked at Dong Hui’s belly gently and continued in a low voice, “He can make it.”

Her expectancy affected all people present and the room was full of silent warmth.

When Shi Baoning entered the room, she saw that the three sat together and even if they fell into silence, any outsiders, including her, couldn’t interrupt them.

Shi Baoning’s face darkened, but soon she cheered up and asked in surprise and joy, “Qingxue, are you okay?”

Shi Qingxue heard that and looked back, with a spoiled smile on her lips. “Baoning, here you come. I am fine. Don’t worry.”

“How could I not worry? Because of me, you…” Shi Baoning mumbled and looked guilty.

She stepped forward and held Shi Qingxue’s hand, looking her up and down. Seeing that her sister was fine, she heaved a sigh of relief, but she still added with apology, “Qingxue, I am sorry. If I hadn’t insisted on asking you to see Baojin for the last time, you wouldn’t have been injured.”

At the mention of her being injured, Shi Qingxue wouldn’t blame Shi Baoning. But it was impossible that she didn’t take it to heart at all.

She didn’t want to see Shi Baojin. Even though Shi Baoyou cried and begged her, she was unmoved. However, Shi Baoning insisted, so Qingxue couldn’t refuse her own sister.

The smile on Shi Qingxue’s face faded, and she withdrew her hand, responding slowly, “It’s not your fault.”

“Right! Nobody expected that Shi Baojin would go crazy and do something like that!” Dong Hui noticed the weird atmosphere when the two sisters talked and hurriedly mediated. But she still gritted her teeth when talking about Shi Baojin. “I think it’s not too much to cut such a crazy woman into pieces and throw her to a pauper’s grave. If she hadn’t been punished and died, I wouldn’t…”

“Mother!” Shi Baoning shouted and showed a compassionate and worried expression in her eyes, whispering, “The dead should be respected. Don’t talk about this anymore. Just bless our brother.”

Hearing that, Dong Hui shut up immediately.

She believed in God and looked awkward, afraid that her future-son’s fortune would be affected if she said something wrong.

But Shi Qingxue didn’t think so and declared indifferently, “Shi Baojin did that and should be killed according to the law. She didn’t deserve to be pitied.”

Shi Baoning was shocked and stated, “You are right, but… In fact, you didn’t have to have such a big fight. We are family, and no matter who is killed, it would make others laugh at us.”

Shi Qingxue paused for a while and looked at Shi Baoning distantly. She snorted and asked coldly, “Do you mean that if I forgave Shi Baojin in the beginning and asked for mercy for her so that her life was spared, she wouldn’t want to die with me desperately? So, it’s my fault?”

The questions were harsh and hurtful, and Shi Baoning paled in an instant. She waved her hand in a hurry and explained, “No, I didn’t mean that. I just think that you weren’t harmed at that time and could just say something to forgive Baojin.”
