Chapter 287: Regard Goodwill as Malice

After Shi Qingxue left the study, there was jealousy on Shi Baoning’s face apart from fear because of the cranium which showed up suddenly.

It was indistinct, but all people present knew well about her and could certainly notice what she was thinking about.

Dong Hui understood Shi Baoning’s “grievance”, yet both of them were her daughters, and moreover, it was not caused by Shi Qingxue.

It was unreasonable no matter whether she blamed Shi Qingxue or comforted Shi Baoning.

She wanted to cover it up and pretended as if nothing had happened.

However, Shi Junhe stated, “Hui, go out with Chi. I have something to tell Baoning.”

“Junhe, this…” Seeing that Shi Junhe looked serious, Dong Hui was afraid that the father and daughter would have conflicts, so she planned to stop it.

However, Shi Junhe just shook his head at her silently and firmly, motioning for her to do as he said.

Dong Hui could do nothing but go out with Wenren Chi.

When only Shi Junhe and Shi Baoning were left in the room, Shi Baoning couldn’t control her grievance.

Before Shi Junhe asked, she questioned first, “What? Father, do you want to teach me a lesson again for Qingxue?”

Hearing Shi Baoning’s aggressive query, Shi Junhe kept his composure and asked in reply, “Why do you think that I should teach you a lesson for your sister?”

Shi Baoning was speechless and her face looked terrible.

After a while, perhaps because only Shi Junhe was here, she wasn’t in the mood to pretend. She just snorted. “Father, you don’t need to be over fastidious in wording. I know that you will rebuke me again and don’t think that I can treat Qingxue badly. You think that she is the most innocent, but have you considered my feelings?”

When Shi Baoning was speaking, tears fell along her cheeks, and anybody would feel sad for her after seeing that.

She didn’t wipe them but continued to look steadily at Shi Junhe with complaints in her eyes, questioning coldly, “I am Grandpa’s eldest legitimate granddaughter and your first legitimate daughter. I should be superior to Qingxue in the age and status, yet when Grandpa entrusted somebody before death, he didn’t choose me and probably forgot me. Otherwise, how would the outsiders not know that I am also your biological daughter?

“When we were in the living room just now…”

Shi Baoning recalled the scene and looked sad and embarrassed. After a long while, she controlled herself and returned calm, adding, “I think I am not inferior to Qingxue in any aspect, and I am clear about my status, so I learnt to restrain myself and be dignified since childhood. Although I can’t be like Grandma, compared with Qingxue who is playful and willful since childhood, anyway I am…” Much better.

She didn’t finish her words and held back under Shi Junhe’s cold eyes in the end.

However, she couldn’t fully conceal the resentment and reluctance on her face.

Shi Junhe saw it clearly and had complicated feelings which could hardly be spoken out.

He understood Shi Baoning. When they were in the living room, he had the same doubt and wondered why Shi Lei chose Shi Qingxue who was young and didn’t look reliable instead of him.

And he was even a little jealous then, too.

However, he didn’t have those feelings now.

Facing Shi Baoning’s envy that she didn’t hide, Shi Junhe asked peacefully, “What would you do if he chose you?”

“What?” Shi Baoning was stunned and then understood what her father was asking.

If Shi Lei entrusted it to her, after the relic covered with the red cloth was given to her and she opened it, she suddenly saw the white bone inside…

As a result of the visual impact, Shi Baoning might be scared and threw away the relic from her hand.

At this thought, Shi Baoning turned pale again and wasn’t courageous with sufficient reasons anymore, yet she refused to show the white feather in front of Shi Junhe. Then she swelled out her chest. “I, I know that it is a relic left by Grandpa. Even if it is scary, I will keep it carefully and won’t make any mistake.”

“Yes?” Shi Junhe didn’t make comments and asked in reply. He looked indifferent, and nobody knew if he believed her.

When Shi Baoning was restless, he continued to ask slowly, “Okay. All of us know that you will take good care of your grandpa’s relic. How about the next job? What would you do to fulfill his last wish?”

Shi Baoning looked at Shi Junhe blankly and didn’t know what he meant. “What last wish? The manager of The You’s Pawnshop didn’t tell us what Grandpa’s last wish was. He just told Qingxue to take care of this…human bone and didn’t say anything else.”

She was also present then. Although the manager said his last words in a low voice and she didn’t hear clearly, judging from Shi Qingxue’s confused expression, he must have not said something important.

Shi Junhe smiled helplessly. “Do you think that your grandpa would tell somebody to give us a cranium in so many years after death if he had nothing important to entrust? Did he do that just in order to leave a keepsake to the descendants?

“In that case, the stuff shouldn’t be given to Qingxue or you but me.” Shi Junhe calmly pointed out the fact.

However, Shi Baoning couldn’t accept it. She shouted emotionally, “Grandpa didn’t make clear what he wanted to do. He left a puzzling remark to us, and we certainly can’t guess.”

Nevertheless, Shi Junhe shook his head and stared out of the window gloomily, responding impassively, “No. Qingxue can guess it eventually.”

Although Shi Qingxue seemed to be confused like them for now, he firmly believed Shi Lei’s insight.

He wanted to tell Shi Baoning that Shi Lei chose Shi Qingxue because the girl was capable, and they shouldn’t be unconvinced.

Nevertheless, his words seemed to “step on” Shi Baoning and made her angry again. “In the final analysis, all of you think that Shi Qingxue is the most outstanding and I am incapable of doing anything. No matter how hard I am, I am no match for your most loved granddaughter and daughter, right?”

Shi Baoning questioned loudly and vented all her grievances that she had suffered these years because of Shi Qingxue. She had tears all over her face and still didn’t stop complaining. “I know that I am boring and don’t know how to say something nice, and I am not as good at pleasing others as Shi Qingxue, but I always try to do the best these years because I want to be favored and praised by you.

“But how about you? Shi Qingxue can make you smile after saying something nice randomly, yet no matter how much effort I make, I can’t be treated the same as her.

“Why? We are the same, and I am even an infanta. I am more honorable and dignified than her. Why do you dote on a bitch who doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth but ignore me…”

While speaking, Shi Baoning got more emotional and even defamed Shi Qingxue at last. Shi Junhe was so angry that he slapped her in the face and interrupted her.

Shi Junhe’s chest went up and down, while he gasped and scowled tightly. Obviously, he was extremely furious.

“Great, great, great!” Even though he was too angry, he laughed and said the word repeatedly, glaring at Shi Baoning with his sharp eyes like a hawk’s.

Till Baoning had cold sweat on her back under his glare, he snorted coldly. “I have never expected that Shi Qingxue is so filthy like a bitch in your heart. It’s wonderful. You finally expressed your innermost feelings.”

Shi Baoning realized that she said something wrong, while she was unwilling to apologize for her words, so she lowered her head and remained silent.

It appeared that she admitted it tacitly.

Seeing that, Shi Junhe was in a rage and couldn’t help but curse, “Shi Baoning, think it over with your conscience. Didn’t Qingxue do many things for you these years? She personally went to Mang Mountain to call for a doctor for you regardless of danger and took you to join the banquets after you recovered. Later she tried hard to make a match for you and Chi…”

“No! She didn’t do those for me but for herself.” Shi Baoning was unwilling to accept Shi Junhe’s one-sided denouncement and shouted loudly.

Shi Junhe pouted and sneered. “Oh? So you tell me. Why did she do those for herself?”

Shi Baoning pursed her lips. “Now all people know that Doctor Shen is His Excellency’s follower, and His Excellency acts upon whatever she says. She looked for the doctor on Mang Mountain just to make a show. She said that she did everything for me just to show that she is respectable, right?”

Shi Junhe was speechless.

He felt that his anger rose to his brain from his lung in a flash and almost erupted, while he restrained himself and just looked at Shi Baoning, signaling that she should go on.

Shi Junhe wanted to know how ungrateful this daughter was. She ignored her sister’s sincere kindness but said that the girl did everything “for herself”.

Baoning felt Shi Junhe’s cold and sharp eyes and had a headache, yet she still continued coldly, “She did the same at the banquets. She said that she took me into the noble ladies’ circle, but in fact, she just made a show of herself in front of the royal family. She made herself stand out and got a good reputation as she loved her sister. She just achieved two goals at one stroke.”

Shi Junhe had never expected that Shi Qingxue’s kindness was being selfish and making use of others in Shi Baoning’s opinion.

Even anybody with sharp eyes knew for whom Shi Qingxue did so many with absolute sincerity.

For example, before Shi Qingxue went to Mang Mountain to look for the doctor, she didn’t know that Shen Luo was Mo Junyang’s follower and even almost lost her life on that mountain after being harmed by Shi Baoyan.

For example, Shi Qingxue never liked to show up in the noble ladies’ circle. She came out every time because Shi Baoning was bullied, and she was forced to stand up for her sister.

For example…

Everything was clear and obvious, yet never people should try to wake up a person who pretended to fall asleep.

Shi Baoning arbitrarily thought that Shi Qingxue did everything for herself. Perhaps only in this way could she escape from the conscience’s censure. So how would she ponder deeply over the loopholes of her explanations?

Shi Junhe didn’t even sneer this time but only asked, “…Anything else? Qingxue tried every means to bring you and Chi together and make you get married at last. Did she do that for herself, too?”

Hearing that, Shi Baoning didn’t feel guilty yet questioned in a sharp voice, “If she really did that for me, why did she seduce my fiance behind my back?”
