Dong Hui sat on the bed in a daze and looked expressionless. Her face was stiff like a statue.

It scared Mammy Zheng and Shi Baoning a lot. They pinched her palm and beat her chest.

After quite a while, they finally made Dong Hui come to her senses.

“Ah!” Dong Hui cried out loudly at once and held Mammy Zheng tightly. She didn’t know what she should do.

Mammy Zheng also cried and hugged Dong Hui, advising, “Madam, just listen to me. Don’t be stubborn. Go to ask His Lordship to forgive you. You are a couple for so many years, and he won’t tell you to go back to your parents’ home.”

Dong Hui cried and her eyes were red, but hearing Mammy Zheng’s advice, she stiffened and didn’t say anything.

Mammy Zheng noticed her hesitation at a glance and felt anxious and angry, yet she could do nothing as Dong Hui was stubborn.

Then she warned in a cold voice, “Madam, if you are still stubborn, you have to return to your parents’ home. If the news spreads, you won’t have the face to live in this family!”

Unexpectedly, her provocation was ineffective but made Dong Hui go to extremes.

She stood up from the bed abruptly and sadness flashed on her face. However, in a flash, it turned into firmness.

“Huh! Shi Junhe is determined to kick me out this time. If I stay, I will lose face. I have parents, and I am going back now. I will see who will give in first in the future!”

After that, she didn’t care about Mammy Zheng and Shi Baoning’s tearfully begging but started to pack up.

Seeing that Mammy Zheng stood still, Dong Hui roared angrily, “Why are you still standing here? Go to pack up for me immediately. I can’t order you?”

Mammy Zheng had no choice but to wink at Shi Baoning, hoping that she could figure out a way. Then she obediently went to pack up for Dong Hui.

At the moment, Shi Baoning was also anxious with sweat all over her head and wanted to persuade Dong Hui, yet she was not as silver-tongued as Shi Qingxue, and she didn’t know how to convince her mother. She just said the same words.

She couldn’t stop her but “pushed” her into the carriage.

Seeing that it was irremediable, Mammy Zheng stomped in a rage.

Before she went into the carriage with Dong Hui, she pulled Shi Baoning aside in secret and stated in a low voice, “My Lady, now perhaps only Lady Qingxue can help Madam. His Lordship loves Lady Qingxue most. As long as she mediates, it will be successful…”

As Dong Hui was urging her in the carriage, Mammy Zheng didn’t have time to say so much, so she lowered her voice and mentioned another key point. “If she can’t, she has the token granted by Emperor…”

Leaving the hint, Mammy Zheng hurriedly went into the carriage and didn’t notice that Shi Baoning’s expression changed after she heard that.

Shi Baoning stiffened at the gate and didn’t have any reaction.

Seeing that she remained unmoved for a long time, her maid Jing Zhuang grabbed her sleeve and called in a soft voice, “My Lady, let’s go to look for Lady Qingxue as soon as possible!”

Shi Baoning suddenly reacted and then heard Jing Zhuang’s words. Her face darkened and she asked, “Do you also think that Qingxue is more capable than me?”

“Ah? No, I…” Jing Zhang didn’t know why she irritated Shi Baoning, and she was scared, asking for mercy in a hurry.

When she was about to slap herself, she was stopped by Shi Baoning.

The gloom on Shi Baoning’s face faded at once, and she returned gentle as usual. She nodded at Jing Zhuang with a smile. “You are right. Only she can make it. I would merely be rebuked by Father, and he even doesn’t look at me.”

Hearing that, Jing Zhuang felt a chill down her spine all of a sudden, and she was in panic for no reason, but soon she thought that she worried too much. The first lady was still so gentle.

However, why did she say that with jealousy?

Jing Zhuang shook her head and got rid of her messy thoughts. Then she talked business. “I have inquired about it just now. I heard Shi Jie who prepared the carriage say that His Lordship sent her to King Rui’s mansion. Shall we go there to have a look?”

Hearing the words “King Rui’s mansion”, Shi Baoning was scared.

Mo Junyang left a horrible impression to her in the past, so she felt terrified at the thought of him.

Not to mention going to King Rui’s mansion, even when Mo Junyang came to Duke Shi’s mansion, she would have to keep out of the way.

However, she realized that Shi Junhe had sent Qingxue to King Rui’s mansion, and she had a feeling that was hard to explain.

Her father tried to make a match for Shi Qingxue and Mo Junyang obviously.

She didn’t like Mo Junyang. However, on second thought, after Shi Qingxue married him, Shi Baoning wouldn’t need to worry every day that Wenren Chi would…

“My Lady, what are you thinking about?” Jing Zhuang waited a long time and didn’t see Shi Baoning do anything but her face changed unpredictably, which made this maid feel restless.

Shi Baoning came back to reality and spoke to Jing Zhuang calmly. “Since Father told Qingxue to go to King Rui’s mansion, he must have something important to tell her to do. If we disturb her at this time, it would be bad once we ruin something.”

“But Madam…” Although Jing Zhuang didn’t know why Dong Hui suddenly went back to her parents’ home in a rage, even she, a servant knew that it was urgent, and they couldn’t delay.

Since ancient time, the woman would be divorced and go back to her parents’ home only after she made a big mistake. Even though Dong Hui asked to go back, outsiders wouldn’t care about the reason. If they talked in confusion, they might say something unpleasant to hear.

Shi Baoning pursed her lips and expressed helplessly, “I will talk with Father again. Maybe now he is not so angry as before. Then…”

While speaking, she walked to the study, but she still looked worried all the way and wasn’t confident about what she would do next.

Anyway, this time Shi Junhe allowed her to enter the room.

“Father, nice to see you.” Shi Baoning bowed to Shi Junhe restlessly and didn’t dare to raise her head. She just waited in panic.

In the beginning, Shi Junhe didn’t speak. He merely raised his cold eyes and looked Shi Baoning up and down.

After quite a while, he nodded slightly. “Hum.”

Then he didn’t say more.

Shi Baoning was used to being passive and prepared to wait for Shi Junhe to ask her what she wanted. Then she would persuade him to bring Dong Hui back from her parents’ home.

As a result, he ignored her, which made her words stuck in her heart, and she couldn’t speak.

“Father.” Shi Baoning looked up at Shi Junhe with a grievance and seemed not to understand why he was so distant to her.

However, Shi Junhe just turned away rigidly. At last, he probably didn’t want it to be too embarrassing, so he asked, “Your mother went back to her parents’ home?”

Seeing that her father cared about her mother, Shi Baoning didn’t feel grieved anymore and hurriedly nodded. “Yes, she just got into the carriage.”

She was smart and then added sadly, “When I saw Mother get into the carriage, tears didn’t stop falling on her face and she was in a daze. I am worried that there would be something wrong with her.”

“Why didn’t you go back with her?” Shi Junhe asked in reply casually.

Shi Baoning’s face stiffened and she was unable to reply.

Shi Junhe didn’t plan to denounce her. Before she answered, he asked, “Did Mammy Zheng go with her?”

“Yes,” Shi Baoning responded obediently and didn’t dare to say that Dong Hui was “miserable”.

Shi Junhe trusted Mammy Zheng’s moral quality and capability. Hearing this response, he nodded with satisfaction and didn’t ask about this matter anymore.

He stared at Shi Baoning, to see that she stood in front of the table and looked nervous and bashful, so he didn’t want her to worry too much. Then he said, “Fine. You are tired today. Go back to have a rest first.”

If they said that Shi Baoning was like Shi Junhe, it must be because of her stubbornness. All the family members came down in one continuous line and nobody was an exception. They wouldn’t give up until they achieved the goal. They were like Shi Junhe and Dong Hui.

She came to beg for mercy for Dong Hui. Now she hadn’t started to speak, so how would she go away easily?

She scratched her sleeve and wrinkled it nervously. After stuttering for a long time, she asked, “Father, Father, can you bring Mother back? It’s not good as she went back like this. It’s…”

Before she finished her words, she couldn’t continue.

She could do nothing.

She was afraid of Shi Junhe’s majesty at ordinary times and couldn’t act like a spoilt child in front of her father as Shi Qingxue did.

It was fine if she could communicate with Shi Junhe normally, not to mention that he showed a cold face, so she didn’t know how to beg for mercy to move him.

As expected, Shi Junhe didn’t listen to her but rebuked her, “You don’t qualify to mind the elders’ business. If you are so free, just think more about your marriage to Chi in the near future.”

Shi Baoning was frustrated after being rebuked, so she retreated in defeat.

Nevertheless, she was reluctant and raised her tearful eyes, looking at Shi Junhe stubbornly.

She always thought that if Shi Qingxue said that, she wouldn’t be refused so cruelly at least even if he wouldn’t agree.

“Father, in your eyes, am I really inferior to Qingxue?” Shi Baoning couldn’t control herself and finally asked.

Shi Junhe was vexed because of Dong Hui’s issue and didn’t expect that Shi Baoning asked such a question.

He was stunned and kept silent.

In Shi Baoning’s eyes, this reaction was tacit consent.

Shi Baoning smiled sadly and tears fell from her eyes automatically at last. “I got it…”

“What did you get?” A clear voice came from outside.

Then they saw that Shi Qingxue dressed in a military uniform ran in from outside in high spirits. In the beginning, she was joyful, but after she saw the expressions of the two in the room clearly, she became astonished immediately.

“Baoning, why are you crying?”

Shi Qingxue hurriedly moved closer to her sister and asked, trying to wipe the tears on her face in a flurry.

However, as soon as Shi Qingxue raised her hand, Shi Baoning took a step backward and made it stiffen in the midair.

For a moment, it was silent in the room.

Shi Qingxue was startled again. Before she understood why she was disliked, Shi Baoning ran out even without giving an explanation.

Before Shi Baoning left, her aggrieved tears flashed by in front of Qingxue.

Shi Qingxue was stunned for a while and then tried to chase her sister subconsciously. “Baoning!”

“Qingxue, stop chasing her!” Shi Junhe stopped her and looked serious.

Shi Qingxue had to stop in her tracks, but she still turned to Shi Junhe in confusion and asked, “Father, what on earth was going on? Why did you make my sister cry?”

Shi Junhe just came back to earth from Shi Baoning’s “denouncement” and looked gloomy, so he replied crossly, “She thinks too much. Who can she blame?”

His voice was indifferent. Obviously he was angry.

Shi Qingxue was sensible and didn’t irritate Shi Junhe. She just cautiously talked about the funny things that happened to her and Mo Junyang on the training ground, hoping that she could take the opportunity to distract her father.

When Shi Junhe’s face was not as tense as before, she mentioned something embarrassing that happened today. In the end, she intentionally gritted her teeth and complained, “Mo Junyang is too narrow-minded. He is not as skilled as me, but he didn’t admit it. Moreover, he made me lose face, too.

“You don’t know how many servants there were on the training ground, and all of them looked at us. I don’t have the face to see anybody!”

Shi Qingxue said exaggeratedly and specially showed her hand to Shi Junhe, complaining, “Look. My hand was injured because of him.”

Hearing that she was injured, Shi Junhe was worried and hurriedly looked at her, to find that her fair-skinned hand was only red even without scratched skin.

Her father crossly shook off her hand and glared at this girl who could fool others when she was exaggerated. “Is this the injury as you said?”
