Chapter 244: Can You Make Something of Your Life

Hearing Luo Ziyuan talk about the old story and mention their conflict again, Mo Junhao instantly waved his hand and interrupted him. “Fine. I have my plan for this matter. Don’t worry.”

Luo Ziyuan’s expression stiffened and his face darkened. He stopped talking.

It was the first time for Mo Junhao to interrupt him so arbitrarily. Even though the prince was polite, Luo Ziyuan still felt unhappy.

At the same time, he confirmed his thought more. Shi Qingxue was a disaster. She influenced the prince so greatly even before she married him. If she really became the fourth prince’s wife, the consequence would be beyond imagination.

Shi Qingxue couldn’t be kept.

If Shi Qingxue knew Luo Ziyuan’s thought, she would sniff at him and tell him that he worried too much.

The atmosphere in the carriage got tense at once.

After a while, Mo Junhao coughed twice and changed the subject abruptly. “By the way, I told you to investigate something. How is it going on?”

“Your Highness, as you guessed, Third Madam Shi is grounded in the South House in secret, but most of the servants in Duke Shi’s mansion don’t know why she is grounded. I have inquired about it everywhere and learnt that it is because she secretly dated her cousin Shi Zhi.” Luo Ziyuan solemnly reported to Mo Junhao about the information he got after inquiring.

He didn’t miss anything, but he showed that he was unhappy.

Mo Junhao pretended not to have seen it but sighed with emotion. “It’s him.”

After pondering for a while, he asked, “Does Lord Shi know the third madam’s current situation?”

“All people in Duke Shi’s mansion keep it a secret and he must not know it for now. But Lord Shi loves the third madam very much and would know it sooner or later.”

Mo Junhao got excited immediately and asked with a smile, “Can you guess what he would do then?”

“He can even promote his lover’s husband. And he won’t stand by and do nothing when his lover is in trouble,”

Luo Ziyuan said with certainty, but he couldn’t figure out what method Shi Zhi would use.

Would he make use of his influence and protect Zhou Ruyu’s position in the Shi family or take the chance to let her get rid of the Shi family and marry him?

But Mo Junhao laughed. “It’s great that he loves her. As long as he loves somebody, he has a weakness, so we won’t be afraid that we can’t use him. Let’s just wait.”

Luo Ziyuan was unable to reply.

Young Master Luo had to admit that this prince could find the key to the problem if he used his brain, but…

He wanted to ask, “Then what would happen as you love Shi Qingxue?”

However, once he mentioned this subject, they would argue with each other, so he was sensible and didn’t say anything.

Mo Junhao didn’t know that Luo Ziyuan had so many thoughts. He asked after pondering for a while, “What about the other thing?”

“Er, this…” Luo Ziyuan thought that he was smart, capable and resourceful, but he could do nothing this time. He stuttered for a long time and had to admit in the end, “I just found that the third madam must have evidence against Shi Juncai and Princess Royal, and this evidence is significant. But I don’t know what on earth it is for now…”

“You haven’t found it after the investigation?” Mo Junhao raised his brows slightly because he was surprised as Luo Ziyuan was baffled.

Luo Ziyuan blushed with shame and explained, “It may be related to something about the last generation, and it happened decades ago. I wasn’t born then, and you gave me so little time. It’s normal that I haven’t found it for now. At the worst, I will help you find it later.”

“I didn’t blame you. Why are you anxious?” Mo Junhao comforted him in a hurry.

He wittily changed the subject. “Fine. I leave it to you, and you don’t need to be anxious. Since you said that this matter can be kept as a secret for twenty years, it must be a big secret. I give you a suggestion. It’s difficult to do something to Princess Royal, but you can make an effort on Shi Juncai. He is mercenary and sensual…”

Luo Ziyuan understood at once and patted his forehead, sighing with emotion. “Why didn’t I think of that? I know what to do. Just wait for the good news from me.”

In the South House in Duke Shi’s mansion

Zhou Ruyu was sitting in her room and drinking tea, but what she was thinking about was not the tea.

She looked up at the door from time to time and looked excited, joyful and anxious occasionally…

Till Shi Baoyou came in slowly, Zhou Ruyu sprang from the chair all of a sudden and walked to her. “What’s up?”

Shi Baoyou knew that her mother asked about what happened between her and Mo Junhao. Before she spoke, she blushed with shyness.

Zhou Ruyu got overjoyed immediately and clapped while laughing. “Wonderful. I know that my daughter is excellent and bound to be the empress. Now you suffer from injustice as you are just the fourth prince’s wife, but don’t rush. You will live a good life in the future. You…”

“Mother, Mother! That’s not true.” Shi Baoyou hadn’t expected that Zhou Ruyu misunderstood her, so she stopped her mother in an instant.

Zhou Ruyu still didn’t know that Mo Junhao didn’t agree to marry Shi Baoyou, and she continued happily, “What? Listen to me. Now the fourth prince is powerful. As long as you steady your position as his wife, in the future…”

“Mother! His Highness didn’t agree to marry me!” Shi Baoyou shouted hurriedly.

“He didn’t agree to…” In the beginning, Zhou Ruyu didn’t hear clearly and talked endlessly, but she stopped halfway, like a duck whose neck was pinched. She looked at Shi Baoyou with fear and couldn’t speak a word.

Shi Baoyou nodded again and responded in depression, “His Highness said that he likes me, too, but he has to consider for his followers. As you guessed, he needs to marry Qingxue, so…”

“So he wants to be with you but refuses to marry you?” Zhou Ruyu asked harshly.

Shi Baoyou hurriedly tried to cover Zhou Ruyu’s mouth and advised her. “Mother, talk in a lower voice. It’s not good if others hear that.”

“He dares to do something so heartless but fears that others would hear it?” Zhou Ruyu shouted in a louder voice, as if she wouldn’t stop until all people in the world knew it.

“That’s not true. Mother, stop!” Shi Baoyou was shy and guilty. She was so anxious that she almost cried.

Zhou Ruyu didn’t continue to yell. She kept silent for a short while and then asked, “What did you tell him? You left for so long.”

Shi Baoyou was afraid that her mother would make a scene when she was emotional, so she told a maid to guard outside and then closed the door carefully. Later she told Zhou Ruyu in a low voice about what Mo Junhao had said to her.

She didn’t dare to hide anything from her mother, but at last, she couldn’t help defending Mo Junhao. “His Highness is forced. Don’t blame him. I am satisfied as long as he loves me sincerely.”

Zhou Ruyu didn’t yell anymore, but she looked grim.

“You don’t know when he can fulfill this promise, but he bought you over? Can you make something of your life?” She was disappointed and poked Shi Baoyou’s forehead, but she couldn’t vent her anger. Then she cursed in a low voice, “Sure enough. None of the men is good. If he wants you, he would say many sweet words, but when you want him to do something, he can’t say anything.”

Shi Baoyou lowered her head in silence.

However, Zhou Ruyu still refused to let her go and cursed crossly, “Stupid girl, I told you to please His Highness. Even if you can’t be his wife, it’s fine to be his side concubine. But you just asked him for a jade pendant which can be seen everywhere. What is it used for? Can it have a baby? You make me angry!”

“Mother, please don’t talk in this way. I feel sad…” Shi Baoyou finally couldn’t control herself and rushed into Zhou Ruyu’s arms while crying.

She wiped her tears and cried with a grievance, “In fact, I knew that His Highness won’t marry me, but I…I can do nothing…I just love him, and I am not as capable as Shi Qingxue. How would I make him marry me? I…I…”

In the end, she sobbed too much to speak.

Zhou Ruyu felt sad while hearing that and comforted her daughter softly at once, although she was angry. “Fine, I won’t say more. Stop crying. Your crying makes me heartbroken!”

Perhaps Shi Baoyou was irritated, and she cried more loudly. “Mother, what do you think I should do? What should I do?”

“Er…” Zhou Ruyu also looked helpless and sighed secretly.

Who was to blame?

She could only say that Shi Baoyou was out of luck because she didn’t have a capable father.

Once Shi Juncai had the desire to advance and talent like Shi Junhe, with Princess Royal’s help, even if he couldn’t be Duke Shi, it was no problem for him to be a Rank-2 or Rank-3 official.

“Baoyou, under the situation, don’t think too much. Since His Highness refused to marry you, we will give him up. I will look for a good husband for you, a better man than him!” Zhou Ruyu said that, but she was clear that in the present climate, there was no better husband than Mo Junhao in the Mo Country.

Except…the crown price.

But all their family were about to follow the fourth prince. Not to mention that they wouldn’t follow Mo Junyu, he might be unwilling to marry Shi Baoyou.

At this thought, Zhou Ruyu sighed deeply again and advised helplessly, “Baoyou, just accept your destiny.”

But Shi Baoyou was stubborn this time and shook her head crazily, crying, “I just love His Highness. I don’t want to marry anybody else except him, not anybody else. Mother…”

“Child, why are you so stubborn?” Zhou Ruyu was furious and wanted to rebuke her.

Suddenly she thought of something and her expression stiffened. Regardless of Shi Baoyou’s tearful eyes, she grabbed the girl’s arm and questioned seriously, “You stayed with him in the carriage alone for so long. Did something happen?”

Shi Baoyou stopped crying abruptly and looked at Zhou Ruyu in surprise, asking in silence obviously, “How did you know that?”

Zhou Ruyu was anxious and cursed in a rage, “Child! Didn’t I tell you repeatedly that you can’t do something immoral like your sister did? Why did you forget my words? I am so angry!

“You haven’t married him but lost your virginity to him. Won’t you be controlled by him and have your day in the future?”

Zhou Ruyu was so mad that she wanted to beat Shi Baoyou to death, but seeing that the girl shrank back in fear, she couldn’t do that. She had to cover her chest while crying, “You just irritated me to death…”

Shi Baoyou didn’t expect that Zhou Ruyu misunderstood her, and she was cursed seriously even before explaining, so she was confused.

She came back to earth after quite a while and explained in a hurry, “No, Mother, that’s not true. I didn’t lose my virginity to His Highness. Although he wanted me, I said that…”

Her voice was unclear and low, like a mosquito’s in the end, but Zhou Ruyu heard it clearly.

It took Zhou Ruyu a long moment to understand what her daughter meant. Then she showed a bright smile on her old face in an instant and grasped Shi Baoyou’s arm tightly again.

“Great, great! You deserve to be my good girl. It’s great that you didn’t lose your virginity…” Zhou Ruyu felt lucky and breathed out deeply. It seemed that she came to life again.

“But Mother, I want to marry His Highness. Good mother, can you figure out a way for me, okay?” Shi Baoyou grabbed Zhou Ruyu’s sleeve and begged.

Zhou Ruyu looked baffled. “What way can I have? I…”

She suddenly paused and her eyes lit up with beautiful light at once. She continued joyfully, “I have an idea.”
