Chapter 293: Win the Bet

After You Junle said that, there was deadly silence in the room.

Shi Junhe’s face was paler than it had been when he entered the room, and there was almost no blood.

After a long time, he finally found his voice. “Do, do you mean that Mother was, was…”

Even though Shi Junhe had seen a lot, he couldn’t come back to earth from the shocking news and say the last words.

Refusing to save a life and murdering were totally different.

If she refused to save his mother, Shi Junhe might think that they were even and would become strangers.

However, if she murdered his mother, as she had raised him and he owed a big debt of gratitude to her, how would Shi Junhe face the reality in the future?

Shi Qingxue looked at Shi Junhe worriedly and called in a low voice, “Father!”

Afterward, she couldn’t help but glare at You Junle resentfully. Although she knew that he was innocent, who told this guy to make her father so hesitant?

Shi Junhe suddenly came back to reality and met Qingxue’s worried eyes. He wanted to smile at her as a comfort, yet only to purse his lips feebly.

It was weird and embarrassing in the room, and the only one who was not affected must be Mo Junyang.

He asked calmly, “As soon as Elder Duke Shi’s wife died of an illness, the princess royal married him and raised General Shi, but he was more than one hundred days old then. Was there nobody suspecting that?”

“The tenth day of the first lunar month in the Year of Yihai was Junhe’s birthday, and ten months earlier, my parents loved each other deeply. Father never talked with her, so if they said that it was his birthday, some people would suspect her relationship with Junhe soon.

“But three months later, Mother had been pregnant for three months and was nourishing the fetus at home, while Father was on the battlefield far away…”

Before You Junle finished his words, Mo Junyang understood. “The princess royal happened to be on the battlefield with the army and stayed with Elder Duke Shi then, right?”

You Junle snorted coldly, and what he meant was self-evident.

At that time, news of victory spread from the frontier frequently, and it was about how Shi Lei and Mo Shujun worked together and resisted the enemies jointly. Obviously, it was sent by people under Mo Shujun’s orders.

It was to add insult to You Si’s injury undoubtedly when she suffered from antepartum depression. She lost a lot of blood when she gave birth and fell sick after delivery, so it took her life in the end.

“It means that the princess royal said that she was pregnant during the war and then took General Shi as her son?” Mo Junyang caught the key point accurately.

However, he had another question soon. “You must have stayed with Elder Duke Shi’s wife all the time then. Didn’t the princess royal know you?”

If she knew that Shi Lei had an adopted son who was old enough to know that and was close to You Si, would Mo Shujun let go of You Junle easily?

You Junle sneered. “She thinks that I have died.”

That year, nobody knew why You Si sent You Junle away before Shi Lei divorced her, and the fact proved that she did a right thing.

Later, Mo Shujun had tried several times to find You Junle, but she didn’t find him, so she thought that he had died.

Mo Junyang nodded to show that he understood this story.

Then he pointed out accurately, “It happened more than forty years ago, and now even few people who know it are still alive, but there is an important witness that the princess royal can’t kill to hide the truth.”

Shi Qingxue immediately understood who Mo Junyang mentioned, and her eyes lit up. “Do you mean the Empress Dowager?”

Before Mo Junyang nodded, she put on a long face again and stated in depression, “But if the story was exposed, it can be a scandal of the royal family, and the Empress Dowager keeps a good relationship with the princess royal. How would she stand out?”

However, Mo Junyang shrugged and retorted impassively, “As long as she gets enough profit, nothing is impossible.”

Shi Qingxue was speechless. On second thought, it was true.

Nevertheless, there was another problem. How much profit could move Ling Ruiyin?

“The Empress Dowager…is not necessary, and we have to find the midwife who delivered General Shi that year. As long as we prove General Shi’s real birthday, the princess royal’s lies will collapse without being attacked.”

You Junle looked helpless and sighed. “It’s pointless. Although when Father was alive, in order to maintain her image, Mo Shujun didn’t kill all people related to Mother, as soon as Father passed away, the old people who served him died one after another, and all the old servants left in the Shi family are Mo Shujun’s followers. Even if they know the story, they won’t accuse her.”

Mo Junyang didn’t make comments and smiled. Without denying You Junle’s words, he just asked casually, “It depends on how much the princess royal did that year.”

“Are you planning to confront her directly?” Shi Junhe looked at Mo Junyang questioningly and soon denied it. “No. She is alert to me now. If I ask her about this matter, won’t I act rashly and alert her?”

Mo Junyang asked in reply, “If we don’t alert her, how can we catch her?”

Shi Junhe was unable to answer this question. He didn’t know what to do, so he had to ask Mo Junyang for help. “Your Excellency, do you have a solution?”

Mo Junyang walked to Shi Junhe and whispered in his ear.

In the beginning, Shi Junhe listened to Mo Junyang calmly, but while listening, he wrinkled his face more deeply. At last, he was too surprised and couldn’t help asking, “Can it really work?”

“You will know after trying.” Mo Junyang laughed.

Shi Junhe stayed silent for a while and accepted Mo Junyang’s advice in the end. Then he left King Rui’s mansion with You Junle.

Nobody knew if Shi Junhe had too much in mind, and he didn’t pay attention to Shi Qingxue before leaving but went away directly.

Looking at her father’s receding figure, Shi Qingxue had complex feelings. She felt happy that he didn’t teach her a lesson, and meanwhile she felt sad as he forgot her easily.

After pondering, she turned to Mo Junyang. “What way did you tell Father just now? Why was he more depressed seemingly? And he even…” ignore me.

The sixth young lady who was always the apple of her father’s eye expressed that she had never been ignored by him.

Mo Junyang scratched Shi Qingxue’s head with love and smiled. “Anyway, it’s a good solution. Don’t worry.”

In the end, before Shi Qingxue asked, he suddenly looked serious and explained, “It’s the enmity between the elders of two generations. If we have to investigate it, it almost has nothing to do with you. You don’t have the qualification or right to bother about so much. So, even though you feel sad for your father, you can’t stand out unless it’s absolutely necessary. Do you understand?”

“I…” Shi Qingxue pouted with displeasure. She was going to retort, yet she held back.

In fact, she knew that Mo Junyang was reasonable, but she would be unhappy if she couldn’t help her father.

“I see.”

Shi Qingxue answered in depression at last and promised that she wouldn’t do anything improper out of kindness.

Seeing that she was not in a great mood, Mo Junyang intentionally changed the subject. “Well, now we should talk about something very important.”

He purposely stressed the two words “very important”, which made Shi Qingxue raise her head in doubt. Then she asked confusedly, “What?”

“Our bet. Have you forgotten it?”

Mo Junyang said seriously and his expression made Shi Qingxue blush.

She avoided his eyes in panic, while the voice in the past came into her ears. “…I just want to hear you agree to marry me…”

At that time, Mo Junyang agreed to help her find out Mo Shujun’s secret, and his only request was that she should agree to marry him.

She had fallen in love with him since long ago, and even if there was nothing like this, she would marry nobody but him.

However, Mo Junyang wanted nothing but her promise. Even though she was bold and straightforward, when it happened, she still blushed with shyness and pursed her red lips. She stuttered and couldn’t speak a word.

Mo Junyang didn’t force her yet stared at her cheek deeply, remaining still.

He loved her so deeply, and it never changed.

Seeing that she couldn’t escape, Shi Qingxue restrained her shyness and raised her head to look into Mo Junyang’s eyes. Then she plucked up her courage and expressed in a soft voice, “I agree.”

Mo Junyang was expecting Shi Qingxue’s promise all the time. Even though he was confident, before Qingxue spoke, his heart beat violently. When he heard the promise which was pleasant to hear, his dark eyes suddenly lit up and he couldn’t help but grab her soft and fair-skinned hands joyfully.

Then he held Qingxue in his arms. She didn’t adapt to it and struggled for a moment. Then she was “violently suppressed” by him.

Mo Junyang had lived for two lives, and for the first time, he thought that there seemed to be countless fireworks exploding with cracks in his brain, which made him lose all his reason.

The only things in his eyes and on his mind were Shi Qingxue and the fact that she had agreed to marry him.

She belonged to him.

She finally belonged to him.

Mo Junyang hugged Shi Qingxue tightly and spoke incoherently. “Is this true? You finally said yes? Great. Am I dreaming? Qingxue, my Little Qingxue, tell me that I am not dreaming…”

The man’s deep and magnetic voice sounded beside Shi Qingxue’s ear and made her ears soft, as if they were burning on fire. Even her slim waist, back… that he touched started to be burning hot.

Shi Qingxue’s body softened. Because Mo Junyang hugged her tightly, so she wouldn’t embarrass herself.

However, the blush on her face couldn’t be concealed anyway.

Affected by Mo Junyang’s joy that he rarely showed, she forgot to feel shy and also got happy.

Qingxue put her hands on Mo Junyang’s shoulders and pouted, speaking out what was on her mind softly, “When I told you to give me some time, in fact, I never wanted to refuse you then. I just needed to think about some things carefully. Later, you said you would have a bet with me, and I didn’t say that you must…”

She softly explained to Mo Junyang about what she thought about. She felt embarrassed and stuttered, yet from beginning to end, she didn’t stop speaking.

She thought, “Since Mo Junyang loves me sincerely, I should return his true love, so I can deserve his deep love for two lives.”

Shi Qingxue said endlessly on and off for a long time, but she didn’t hear Mo Junyang’s answer.

She almost thought that Mo Junyang had fallen asleep.

“Junyang?”
