Chapter 238: Your Head Falls

Shi Junhe exactly knew what Mo Shujun cared about most.

His words “break his heart” made Mo Shujun unable to say anything forcefully.

Mo Shujun took a deep breath and swallowed her aggressive momentum, staring at Shi Junhe coldly for a long while.

Shi Junhe didn’t surrender.

He was gentle and respected his mother. If he wasn’t forced to have no choice, he was certainly unwilling to turn against Mo Shujun.

He had thought that as they talked about this matter, it was unnecessary to say more.

Unexpectedly, Mo Shujun kept silent for a while and then suddenly said with a smile, “Junhe, you really love your daughter very much. I wonder to what level you can protect your wife.”

Shi Junhe paused and looked at Mo Shujun abruptly. “Mother, what do you mean?”

Mo Shujun came back to her seat and responded slowly, “Do you think that I am old and brainless and totally forgot what happened in the East House the other day?”

“I have explained about that matter. It’s the Dong family…” Shi Junhe was hurried and wanted to clarify Dong Hui.

However, Mo Shujun just waved her hand and snorted coldly and forcefully. “Come on. You said that just not to make all of us lose face. You and I know the truth. If I will really investigate, do you think that Dong can get away with it?”

Shi Junhe didn’t know what Mo Shujun wanted to do, so he stopped speaking.

Mo Shujun wasn’t anxious and continued unhurriedly, “Even if Dong dated Yan Lü late at night under the Dong family’s permission, do you think she can protect her fame after the news spreads? Others won’t be as reasonable as me and accept a daughter-in-law who goes out and dates a man secretly at midnight.”

Shi Junhe was shocked and shouted in a hurry, “Mother, you can’t do that. You will ruin Hui’s future.”

“I can do anything. Now you don’t even care about the family’s honor, so I don’t mind making the family’s fame worse.” Mo Shujun refused to give in.

Earlier, Shi Junhe dared to cover up for Dong Hui’s date with another man in secret with that reason because he knew that Mo Shujun cared about the Shi family’s reputation and wouldn’t be willing to make the family have a bad name.

But now Mo Shujun’s opinion was obvious. If Shi Junhe didn’t figure out a way to save the Shi family’s identity and status, she wouldn’t mind ruining both sides.

Dong Hui’s blemish was true. As long as it was revealed to the public, she would be denounced by all people.

Shi Junhe couldn’t bear to see that.

But the offer Mo Shujun made was to marry Shi Qingxue to Mo Junhao. It was…

General Shi fell into silence, and Mo Shujun sat there, drinking tea at leisure.

She didn’t say anything to force her son but gave him enough time to think it over.

She believed that he would make the best decision.

After nearly ten minutes, Mo Shujun put down the tea cup and smiled, asking, “Junhe, have you made a decision?”

Shi Junhe was silent all the time and asked all of a sudden after a while, “The Shi family members are always His Majesty’s loyal officials. I don’t know since when we side with others.”

He secretly satirized Mo Shujun as she “sold” Duke Shi’s large family to Mo Junhao without asking him, the family master, in order to help Shi Juncai contribute to the emperor.

Mo Shujun looked awkward and rubbed her hands restlessly, but soon she put them down and pretended calm, replying, “I did everything in order to regain the glory of the Shi family as usual.

“Junhe, you need to understand something. Now the Shi family looks honorable, but it’s like a trunk with no leaves. How can we say that it’s luxuriant? Your honor alone is not enough.”

Shi Junhe thought, “Of course, perhaps you only hope that Shi Juncai would be honorable all his life, right?”

He kept quiet, and Mo Shujun didn’t feel awkward but continued, “What’s more, the emperor is suspicious, and even if you want to be a loyal official, it would be pointless when you can’t win his trust. You still need to make a plan for yourself as soon as possible.”

“Mother, you said so much just because you hope that all our family can follow the fourth prince.” Shi Junhe was unwilling to beat around the bush with Mo Shujun and hit the nail on the head, pointing out her purpose directly.

Mo Shujun was exposed and didn’t feel embarrassed but stated boldly, “Anyway, I have said what I should say. Next it depends on what you will do.”

Shi Junhe stayed silent again.

Mo Shujun was generous and decided to give him more time. She softened her tone. “Anyway, His Majesty just told you to rest at home now. Then you go back to think it over during this period. I hope that you can remember one thing. No matter how persistent you are, you can’t defeat the cruel reality. Sometimes, you need to surrender when you should.”

Shi Junhe looked cold and didn’t make comments after hearing Mo Shujun’s words. He just bowed and said goodbye. “Mother, have a good rest. I have to go now.”

After he quickly walked out of the gate of the Shou’an Hall, he sighed deeply.

His serious and dignified face didn’t soften but became more fierce and depressed because he thought of something.

The young manservant Shi Jie who waited for him aside saw that and didn’t dare to walk forward. He tried to stand like a wallflower as he was afraid that his master would vent his anger on him.

“Why are you standing in the corner? Come to me now!”

Shi Junhe noticed Shi Jie’s movements and ordered coldly.

Shi Jie smiled in embarrassment and walked over while rubbing his nose with one hand. At the same time, he didn’t forget to defend himself. “I am afraid that I will disturb you when you are thinking.”

Shi Junhe was not in the mood to talk with him and asked directly, “What’s up?”

Shi Jie’s legs got closer and his butt stiffened. He instantly stood straight and reported, “His Excellency came to visit you and he is waiting for you in your study. Lady Qingxue asked me to come here and tell you that she wants you to go back as soon as you finish everything.”

He said a lot quickly and smoothly as he was afraid that if he stuttered, he would make his master unhappy.

However, after he heard Shi Jie’s words, Shi Junhe’s face got more tense and solemn.

He stood at the gate of the courtyard in the Shou’an Hall for nearly fifteen minutes. Then he shook his head as if to give up and stated tiredly, “Let’s go!”

As soon as Shi Junhe came into the study, the two people who were sitting together in the room, intimate to each other, face to face and nose to nose suddenly got separated at once when their lips were close.

Shi Qingxue even took a few steps backward successively. When she stood steadily, the blush on her face hadn’t faded, and she explained, trying to conceal something but failed. “I just talked with him and didn’t do anything.”

Mo Junyang was speechless.

The “wolf” who had kissed the sheep shook its big tail and didn’t speak.

Shi Junhe was unable to reply.

The depressed father almost had a heart disease.

Shi Junhe leered at Shi Qingxue and smiled faintly. “Yes. I didn’t say that you did something. Why are you so anxious?”

“…”Shi Qingxue couldn’t answer and blushed. She lowered her head all the time and her chin almost went down to her chest. She grabbed her clothes nervously and rubbed with her hands…

The two men couldn’t help laughing.

Mo Junyang even walked to Qingxue and stretched out his slender and straight finger to support her chin gently.

Qingxue raised her head in doubt and blinked, asking silently, “What’s wrong?”

Mo Junyang held back his laughter and raised her chin before saying with love, “Your head almost falls.”

Shi Qingxue goggled and bared her teeth in silence. “Your head almost falls…”

She thought she was forceful and glared at Mo Junyang to show her anger, but he had a brighter smile and even raised his head to pat hers. Then he smiled gently. “Whatever you do.”

Fine. Shi Qingxue thought that her face was so burning that it could fry eggs.

“Ahem!” Her father coughed twice and stopped their bad behavior when they showed their love as if there was nobody around.

Shi Qingxue was frightened but the shyness on her face couldn’t be concealed. She had to lower her head and run to Shi Junhe quickly.

She held his arm and changed the subject stiffly. “Father, how are you? Did Grandma make things difficult for you?”

If in the past, Shi Junhe would show a cold face and criticize Qingxue as she disrespected the elder, but this time, perhaps he was too tired, or he was hurt by Mo Shujun.

He didn’t retort Qingxue but raised his hand to rub his brows. Then he responded, “Nothing. Mother just asked me about what happened today.”

Shi Qingxue instantly realized what Shi Junhe meant even though he didn’t finish his words. She pouted and expressed with disdain, “Huh! She cares about this matter so much must because she hopes that you would save my uncle, but unfortunately, she fails this time even if she wants to!”

With this thought, Shi Qingxue suddenly believed that it was not difficult to accept that Shi Junhe was told to rest at home.

“I am just afraid that what Princess Royal covets is more than this.” Mo Junyang suddenly cut in, which made the father and daughter look back at the same time.

Shi Qingxue didn’t see the surprise and doubt in her father’s eyes but glared at Mo Junyang with displeasure. “Don’t curse us. What should we do if it comes true in the future?”

Shi Junhe was surprised at Mo Junyang’s honesty and acuity. After quite a while, he patted the back of Qingxue’s hand and shook his head with a bitter smile. “Probably it has come true.”

“Uh…”

Shi Qingxue kept quiet for a while and then asked in depression, “What else does she want?”

This time it was Shi Junhe’s turn to stay silent. He glanced at Qingxue and then met Mo Junyang’s deep eyes, with a lot of thoughts.

To be frank, he was unwilling to tell Qingxue what had happened. He didn’t hope that his beloved daughter he had protected carefully would be stained with the ugly calculation and measuring, but he didn’t have a way to consider both.

He had to turn to Mo Junyang for help.

Shi Junhe simply repeated what he discussed with Mo Shujun and emphasized her requirements.

While speaking, he secretly observed Mo Junyang’s reaction all the time.

When he mentioned that Mo Shujun wanted to marry Shi Qingxue to Mo Junhao, Mo Junyang’s eyes became much more indifferent obviously, so he got relieved a little and continued.

“…That’s it.”

“Huh! She is daydreaming. I would never marry Mo Junhao, let alone to be her son’s stepping-stone.” Shi Qingxue arrogantly raised her beautiful chin and spat at Mo Shujun’s wishful thinking.

Shi Junhe had expected that his daughter would disagree fiercely, but hearing her words, he was helpless.

He couldn’t help but point at her brows. “What are you talking about? Don’t forget that I am your grandma’s son, too.”

“Uh…” Shi Qingxue stuck out her tongue resentfully and hurriedly pleased him. “I didn’t talk about you, and I care about you a lot. Why do you get mad at me?”

She said much quickly. In the end, she was in the right.

“Girl, so you are reasonable, and I am wrong!” Shi Junhe smiled bitterly and wanted to pinch Shi Qingxue’s nose to punish her.

Mo Junyang reached out a hand to block between them.

The father and daughter were stunned and turned to Mo Junyang in concert without previous arrangement, with doubts in their eyes.

What was he going to do?
