Chapter 326: Dong Hui Forestalls Problems

Mammy Zheng wanted to say yet hesitated, which aroused Dong Hui’s desire to know it.

“What’s your solution? Tell me now!”

“In fact, Madam, if you don’t want Lady Qingxue to see Master Chi, it’s easy, as long as you don’t give them a chance to meet,” Mammy Zheng responded unhurriedly.

Dong Hui was confused. “But you have said just now that they will be in this mansion and meet each other frequently. How can I stop them?”

“Just tell one of them to stay outside the mansion,” Mammy Zheng responded vaguely.

Dong Hui frowned and stated with displeasure, “I want Baoning to come and take care of me, yet I will tell the new couple to live apart? How can I do it? If the news spreads, perhaps many people will comment on me. No, no. It’s absolutely not practical.”

She shook her head desperately.

Mammy Zheng retorted, “I didn’t say that you should tell Master Chi not to live in the mansion.”

“So you mean…” Dong Hui finally understood what Mammy Zheng meant, while she furrowed her brows more tightly.

In the end, she still shook her head and objected to this proposal. “Qingxue is also my daughter. If she doesn’t live in the mansion, where can she live? Even though I don’t like this matter, I can’t kick her out because of it. I can’t bear to do something like this.”

Not to mention that Dong Hui disagreed, even if she could get hard-hearted, Shi Junhe wouldn’t agree.

Mammy Zheng knew Shi Qingxue’s position in this family, so she expressed in another way, “Madam, you misunderstand me. Of course, I didn’t say that you should kick Lady Qingxue out of the mansion. You certainly can’t do it, but we have so many villas. Tell Lady Qingxue to recuperate for a period in a villa and bring her back after you give birth to a son successfully and Lady Baoning and her husband leave the mansion.”

Seeing that Dong Hui’s face softened seemingly, Mammy Zheng added unhurriedly, “It happened in the past.”

When Shi Qingxue was a child, after she had a fierce quarrel with the other young ladies, she would stay in the villa alone to avoid the noises. Of course, the difference was that Shi Qingxue volunteered to stay in the villa, while this time, Dong Hui asked her to.

However, after Mammy Zheng said that, it seemed that there were previous cases.

Dong Hui had complex feelings. She was pregnant and really needed somebody to accompany her, while Shi Baoning was the best choice undoubtedly. In this matter, even Shi Qingxue once loved by her deeply couldn’t compare with her sister.

So no matter whether Dong Hui considered for the baby in her womb or the future of the Shi family, Shi Baoning must come back to the mansion, and Wenren Chi should come back with her.

At this thought, she really had no choice but to tell Shi Qingxue to stay outside for a period.

“Even if we really tell Qingxue to stay outside to avoid meeting Chi, we should find an excuse. We can’t speak out the real reason. Without a presentable reason, my husband won’t agree,” Dong Hui murmured worriedly.

Mammy Zheng showed a relieved smile and spoke out the answer that she had prepared earlier. “Isn’t there an obvious reason? You are carrying His Lordship’s baby, and if we want the mother and baby to be safe, we naturally need somebody to pray to Buddha sincerely. You are pregnant and it’s inconvenient for you to leave the mansion, and Lady Baoning has to take care of you, so only…”

Mammy Zheng didn’t continue, while Dong Hui understood what she meant.

As long as Dong Hui told Shi Qingxue to fast and pray in the family temple, the girl would certainly be willing to, and this was a customary rule of the noble families. Such an excuse wouldn’t arouse suspicion but could make Shi Qingxue have a good fame.

It would achieve many goals at one stroke.

Dong Hui finally showed the most relieved smile since a long time ago. “Good idea. If we separate Qingxue and Chi with this excuse, outsiders won’t think too much. It will end their immoral thoughts and protect their reputation…”

However, at the thought of the poor condition in the family temple, Dong Hui couldn’t help but sigh. “My girl Qingxue has seldom suffered hardships since childhood. I really can’t bear to let her stay in the family temple for two months. Zheng, don’t you have a better solution?”

Mammy Zheng shrugged to show that she could do nothing.

Seeing that Dong Hui was really worried, she advised, “Madam, if you worry that Lady Qingxue will suffer, just tell the servants to send more good things from the mansion to her and arrange everything well. Although it is not as good as the mansion, we won’t make her suffer.”

Now Dong Hui made decisions for domestic affairs in the Shi family’s mansion, so she could decide what would be sent to the family temple.

If there was plenty of time, it was possible to make the family temple more suitable to live than Duke Shi’s mansion.

So if Shi Qingxue really went to the family temple, she wouldn’t suffer a lot.

After Mammy Zheng gave her methodical and patient guidance, Dong Hui was finally tempted.

She frowned and pondered for a long while. Then she nodded in the end and ordered, “Tell Qingxue to come here now. I will finish this job before Baoning comes back home, in case that others associate the two things.”

Mammy Zheng nodded as a response and hurriedly went out.

As soon as she left the East House, she told a maid to send a message to the Luotong Boudoir, while she walked to a corner.

Somebody was waiting under a shadow in the corner in the East House and asked after seeing Mammy Zheng, “Did you finish the job?”

Mammy Zheng answered with a smile, “When I take actions, it’s impossible that I can’t make it. Madam has told somebody to bring Lady Qingxue, and the girl must move to the family temple tomorrow. Go back and tell Lady Baoning to rest assured. When she comes back, she won’t see Lady Qingxue in the mansion.”

That person stated flatteringly while smiling, “As expected, Lady Baoning entrusted it to the right person. I express thanks to you for your help on behalf of her.”

While speaking, that person took out a heavy money bag from the pocket and put it in Mammy Zheng’s hand secretly.

Mammy Zheng was about to refuse, while that person continued, “Mammy Zheng, please accept it. Lady Baoning has said that you deserve it. After it’s done, she will give you more rewards. What’s more, she asked you to do something else for her.”

Mammy Zheng expressed in a hurry, “What does she want me to do? Just tell me.”

“Lady Baoning said that although she asked you to do something like this for her, she didn’t aim at anybody purposely, yet she had to do it. It can’t ruin the relationship between her and Lady Qingxue, so please keep it a secret, Mammy Zheng. If Lady Qingxue needs something after she goes to the family temple in the future, please take care of her.”

That person said tactfully and considerately, while Mammy Zheng certainly understood the hidden meaning, so she nodded in a hurry. “Of course. I will do it. Please tell Lady Baoning to relax. I won’t let her down.”

That person heard the promise and finally left with satisfaction.

Mammy Zheng stood there for quite a while. After that person went away, the mammy spat at the ground and sighed in a low voice. “You really did something evil but want to gain a good fame. There are so many dirty things in the powerful families, and we all know each other, yet are you so noble and different from others? Don’t you harm your sister in secret?

“If you really consider for your sister, don’t stab her in the back. You said something pleasant to hear, but didn’t you do it?”

Think about what Shi Qingxue had done for that lady, Mammy Zheng thought that the young girl didn’t deserve it, yet since she had received the money bag, she needed to do what she “should do” no matter what she thought about.

Shi Qingxue certainly didn’t know that others had decided her life in the next two or three months. When she knew it, Dong Hui had arranged everything and announced it to her.

Right, she announced it directly.

Dong Hui believed that her younger daughter loved her, while she still worried that there would be accidents as undue delay might bring trouble, so she didn’t ask for Shi Qingxue’s opinion in advance but told the servants to prepare luggage.

When she told Shi Qingxue about it, she asked if the girl was willing to as a mere formality, and she even said that she wouldn’t force her if Qingxue didn’t want to.

Even though Shi Qingxue was surprised to hear that, she thought that it was a customary rule of the noble families in the capital, and even in some aspect, it became a standard of comparison.

So she agreed without thinking too much.

Because Dong Hui made arrangements urgently, Qingxue just had time to tell Xia Mang to pack up simply, and she told Dong Shuang to send a letter to King Rui’s mansion. Then her people got into the carriage to the family temple.

When Shi Qingxue went to the family temple, she was treated differently from Shi Baoyan when she was escorted there.

Even so, as the news spread, it was still peaceful on the surface, while it was turbulent under the cover.

Dong Hui imagined perfectly, but others were not stupid, and especially the people who knew Wenren Chi’s feelings could guess more easily.

The first person who disagreed was Shi Junhe.

Dong Hui was afraid that Shi Junhe would have objections, so she made preparations quickly before telling him.

When Shi Junhe returned home from work, Shi Qingxue and the others had gone to the family temple on Tan Mountain.

Shi Junhe got furious on the spot. “Hui, what did you do? You know the environment of the family temple. How can you tell Qingxue to suffer in such a place?”

Dong Hui spoke out the answer she had prepared. “Qingxue went to the family temple to pray for the baby in my womb, and it’s worthwhile to suffer. Moreover, I have told Mammy Zheng to go with them to clean up and prepare the articles for daily use. If something is needed, we will send it there at once. We won’t treat her unfairly.

“She agreed to it. She wants to show her love for me. Should I stop her?”

What she said was reasonable and noble.

Hearing that, Shi Junhe just sneered. “Hui, we are a couple. Don’t I know your intention? You don’t want Qingxue to stay at home as you are afraid that she will see Chi in the following days, so you intentionally drove her away, right?”

Dong Hui was seen through and looked embarrassed. After pausing for a long time, she finally stated, “I…I have done it for her good.”

After pausing for a while, she seemed to have courage and continued with sufficient reasons, “It seems that you have also noticed Qingxue and Chi… I have no choice but to do it in case that something irreparable happens in the future.

“But you blame me! If I don’t really consider for her, how would I be an evil person to prevent this thing?”

While speaking, Dong Hui wiped her tears sadly. “Only you love your daughter yet I don’t love her? I can do nothing…”

In the end, she denounced Shi Junhe.

Shi Junhe was afraid that he would irritate Dong Hui, so even though he wanted to say something, he had to hold it back. He hurriedly admitted his fault and made a lot of effort to persuade her to stop crying.

Then he sighed in a low voice, as if he was exhausted. “Alas, although you did it out of kindness, don’t you find that Qingxue didn’t notice it?”

Dong Hui stopped rubbing her eyes and looked up at Shi Junhe. “Do you mean…”

Shi Junhe nodded. “It’s easy to guess Qingxue’s feelings. She takes Chi as her brother from beginning to end, and they are close since childhood. Now they are still close yet their relationship is not improper. Perhaps she has never thought about this matter, not to mention having feelings for him.

“Have you forgotten that when you wanted to grant the marriage of her and Chi, she was scared and refused?”
