Chapter 312: See Her Future Father-in-law

It was silent in the carriage.

Shi Qingxue started a conversation and asked first, “Qi Zhengdao? I have never heard of this name in the past. You…”

Of course, the past meant the previous life of them.

In the previous life, King Rui had only one son till death, Mu Junyang, his wife’s illegitimate son, but he never had an illegitimate son.

So they were confused by the illegitimate son who showed up all of a sudden.

Shi Qingxue wanted to ask if Qi Zhengdao was lying.

However, Mo Junyang said, “The jade pendant is real.”

“Is this jade pendant very important?” Shi Qingxue tilted her head in doubt.

Otherwise, how could Mo Junyang have recognized at a glance that it belonged to King Rui and he attached importance to it?

Mo Junyang glanced at Shi Qingxue and then replied, “It belonged to Qi Yue. Do you think that it is important?”

Shi Qingxue was speechless.

It was said that King Rui loved his wife to the bone, but he had to let her stay in the capital as a hostage while he went to the fiefdom. Later, he finally came back and lived in the capital, yet his wife had died of an illness. King Rui’s heart died with her and he refused many matchmakers, which made a lot of noble ladies in the capital sad.

After all, when King Rui’s wife Qi Yue died, he was in his early thirties as a young man, and he loved his wife so deeply, so he was a perfect lover in the dreams of countless noble ladies.

An illegitimate son of King Rui showed up all of a sudden, so both Mo Junyang and Shi Qingxue were astonished, let alone outsiders.

However, they kept calm and decided to wait and see after they discussed it.

They returned to King Rui’s mansion, and King Rui Mo Xiangrui was sitting in the main hall, waiting for them. As soon as he saw the two kids, his eyes lit up and he got up from the seat, walking to them.

“You are Qingxue, right? Junyang talked about you in front of me frequently, and I wondered what the girl who stole his heart was like. After I see you today, I know that you are true to your name.” Mo Xiangrui’s voice was loud and hearty, and he wasn’t stingy to give Shi Qingxue the highest praise.

Shi Qingxue blushed with shyness after hearing his compliments.

She wanted to reply that Mo Xiangrui flattered her, and meanwhile, she wanted to say something to make him happy.

It couldn’t be simpler to Shi Qingxue who was smart with a silver tongue.

However, Mo Xiangrui didn’t give her a chance to speak but started to summon a servant, saying that he had brought a gift for her.

Even though Shi Qingxue was capable of dealing with all men, she was frightened by Mo Xiangrui’s behavior. She looked at Mo Junyang blankly and asked in silence, “What is going on?”

Since Mo Junyang entered the room, he seemed to have become invisible, and he was ignored by Mo Xiangrui thoroughly.

Nevertheless, he wasn’t angry. Facing Shi Qingxue’s doubtful eyes asking for help, he couldn’t help but laugh. He raised his hand and caressed her cheek, comforting her gently. “It doesn’t matter. Father…”

Mo Junyang thought of something seemingly and laughed again involuntarily. “He just wanted to see you too much.”

Why did King Rui want to see a young girl?

Shi Qingxue glanced at Mo Junyang, seeming to be angry with him and play the woman.

Mo Junyang accepted it calmly and smiled. “Father will reward you with some gifts later. Just accept them.”

Qingxue nodded to show that she would do that.

However, when King Rui gave the gift to her, she was astonished.

It was because the gift was too valuable.

Shi Qingxue had a subtle insight. At the sight of the bright red cloak, she knew that it was rare and exquisite, worth a lot of money.

“When I traveled in Beizhou, I hunted a marten there. It happens that I have a servant who is skilled in making clothes, so I gave it to him and told him to make a cloak with its pelt. It’s just that I don’t know if you like such a small thing,” King Rui stated with a smile, in a gentle and intimate tone.

When Shi Qingxue saw the cloak, she couldn’t look away from it. Hearing Mo Xiangrui’s words, she hurriedly received it and put it on.

The bright red color was mainly used for a wedding, while the color of the cloak was different from the red color at a common wedding, and it was more fresh and brighter.

When it was on Shi Qingxue, it set off her tender and fair-skinned face, making her more beautiful and dazzling.

Mo Junyang was never tempted by a beauty, but when he looked at Shi Qingxue, he was in a daze and couldn’t look away from her.

Shi Qingxue didn’t notice Mo Junyang’s feverish eyes. She hurriedly expressed her gratitude to Mo Xiangrui. “Your Highness, thanks for your gift. I really like this cloak.”

The young girl didn’t express her thanks respectfully, yet her words showed that she thanked him sincerely and liked it, which made Mo Xiangrui feel relieved and satisfied.

Seeing that his son looked at the girl in a silly way, he felt that it was laughable and sighed with emotion. It was his first time to see that his son was so crazy about a girl. He even couldn’t help but think with jealousy, “My son has grown up and begins to understand love.”

If King Rui had known how long his son who looked cold-hearted had been in love with Shi Qingxue, he wouldn’t have worried in secret if the boy had no feelings for girls but would worry if he was too “precocious”.

However, no matter how Mo Xiangrui commented on his son secretly, when he looked at Shi Qingxue, he was easy-going and amiable.

On one hand, since he saw Shi Qingxue for the first time, he liked this lovely girl, and on the other hand, his loved son rarely fell in love with a girl and wouldn’t be lonely till death, so he inevitably wanted to help the young man.

So when Mo Xiangrui intentionally got close to Shi Qingxue, and the girl buttered him up, they talked happily.

They talked about the landscape of the north, which was the beautiful scenery that Shi Qingxue had never seen, and Mo Xiangrui had a sense of humor, making the girl’s eyes light up as she yearned to watch it.

In the beginning, Mo Junyang was well-behaved and sat aside, listening to them talking. Later, when he saw that the two talked and ignored him, he felt bad and couldn’t help but cough several times in the end.

Mo Xiangrui finally stopped talking after hearing the boy’s coughs.

Shi Qingxue was still immersed in the beautiful view described by Mo Xiangrui. After a while, she finally realized in surprise that he suddenly stopped. “What’s wrong?”

“Ahem…” Mo Junyang coughed twice again.

He attracted the attention of the two.

Shi Qingxue looked at Mo Junyang with concern and frowned, asking, “What’s wrong with you? Did you catch a cold? After going back home, I will tell the cook to boil a bowl of ginger tea for you, okay?”

Mo Junyang ignored Mo Xiangrui’s eyes with a faint smile and accepted Qingxue’s concern calmly, replying, “Okay. I am going back with you later.”

“Hmm, then…” As soon as Shi Qingxue started to speak, she realized something and her expression changed. Then she shut up.

These days, Mo Junyang almost took Duke Shi’s mansion as his home, so Shi Qingxue said the words “go back home” without thinking.

After saying that, she realized that King Rui’s mansion was Mo Junyang’s real home.

However, she openly tried to take his son back home in front of King Rui. Wouldn’t he change his attitude even though she did her best to win his heart?

Shi Qingxue’s cold sweat fell, and she hurriedly apologized to King Rui. “I am sorry. I was quick and thoughtless in speech just now. There is everything in your mansion, and if Junyang needs to drink ginger tea, you can just tell the cook to make it. I am only…”

Looking at Mo Xiangrui’s indifferent face because he could do nothing to his son who indulged in pleasure and forgot his home and duty, she added frankly even though her face was burning hot, “I am only worried about Junyang, so I said that. It’s not that…”

The two men pretended to be ignorant just now but got stunned after hearing Shi Qingxue’s sincere words suddenly.

Mo Xiangrui looked at Mo Junyang and raised his brows. “Your future wife really cares about you.”

Mo Junyang had a smile which deserved a spanking in his eyes and brows, and the corners of his mouth uplifted complacently. “Needless to say.”

Mo Xiangrui wanted to beat his son, yet he was quite satisfied with this future daughter-in-law.

He cleared his throat and wanted to tell Shi Qingxue not to be so nervous, but before he finished his words, Wei Zichao walked in and reported, “Master, he has woken up and asked to see you.”

“I see.” Mo Junyang nodded slightly to show that he understood.

Before Mo Junyang made arrangements, Mo Xiangrui observantly felt his son’s emotion changes and asked in a hurry, “What’s the matter? Is there anything difficult to handle?”

Mo Junyang shook his head and still looked calm. After a while, he told Mo Xiangrui, “It’s a teenage boy. He stopped my carriage this morning and then sank into a coma next to the carriage, so I took him back.”

Mo Xiangrui frowned and asked with displeasure, “Why did you take anybody you met on the street home? You are too soft-hearted, right?”

Shi Qingxue listened to the conversation between the father and son, at a loss whether to cry or to laugh.

She thought, “Mo Xiangrui didn’t see what Mo Junyang had done. Otherwise, he wouldn’t describe his son as soft-hearted.”

Nevertheless, on second thought, she believed that like father, like son. Mo Junyang had been raised by Mo Xiangrui, both in the previous life and this life, so perhaps this father was not merciful, either.

Shi Qingxue didn’t feel scared but was curious. What would Mo Xiangrui do after knowing the teenage boy Qi Zhengdao’s identity?

As expected, Mo Junyang seemed to have seen through Qingxue’s curiosity and stated next second, “That boy had a jade pendant of yours and claimed to be your son.”

He said that directly and flatly and revealed the truth without keeping his father in suspense.

Only Mo Junyang would do something like this.

Qingxue saw clearly that Mo Xiangrui’s face stiffened, and he finally spoke out one word after a long while. “Really?”

Mo Junyang nodded and continued, “I have taken him back. Please go to see him.”

Afterward, he gave Mo Xiangrui the jade pendant handed by Qi Zhengdao.

When Mo Xiangrui saw that jade pendant, he turned pale all of a sudden and hurriedly grabbed it from Mo Junyang’s hand, checking it carefully for quite a while.

He didn’t look calm as he did when he talked with Shi Qingxue just now. Then he raised his head abruptly and looked at Mo Junyang anxiously, “Where is he?”

His voice seemed to be stern.

The air in the room stagnated seemingly and made people almost unable to breathe.
