Chapter 334: Wei Zichao Feels Wronged

As soon as Shi Junhe heard Mo Shujun’s request, he felt unwilling as the first reaction.

It was not his fault.

It was because Mo Shujun was good at stirring up trouble.

In the last days when Mo Shujun lived in the Shou’an Hall, she caused such utter confusion as to make almost everybody in the mansion nervous, and even Shi Junhe was afraid of this mother.

Moreover, Mo Shujun was on bad terms with Dong Hui all the time, and Dong Hui was going to give birth to a baby soon, so he was worried that there would be something wrong.

Seeing Shi Junhe’s hesitation, Mo Shujun looked knowing and sneered. “If you are unwilling to take care of me, I won’t force you. After all, your father died, so I have nowhere to stay in Duke Shi’s mansion.”

After hearing that, Shi Junhe had to bite the bullet and explain away even though he had a lot to consider. “Mother, you are joking. You are Father’s wife, so the Shou’an Hall is your residence forever…”

Shi Junhe knew that Mo Shujun was determined to go back to his mansion this time.

No matter what Mo Shujun was thinking about and whether she let it pass or had ulterior motives, Shi Junhe couldn’t refuse her.

He sighed deeply and agreed. “Mother, when do you plan to move back to the Shou’an Hall? Then I will send people to pack up for you.”

“No need. I have packed up, and we can go now.”

After saying that, Mo Shujun got up from the bed and walked out.

Shi Junhe finally realized that Mo Shujun probably had planned everything and even guessed that he would come to visit her again today.

However, what could he do even if he realized it? Mo Shujun had made a final decision to return to Duke Shi’s mansion.

Shi Junhe had to restrain his restlessness and follow her.

Time passed quickly. It was in the middle of the second lunar month, and Dong Hui’s expected date of childbirth was approaching.

Shi Qingxue was on Tan Mountain and felt unspeakably fidgety.

She always couldn’t calm down these days.

Even though it was getting warmer with the sun shining brightly, and Mo Junyang stayed with her all the time, she still felt quite restless.

It seemed that something would happen.

This feeling came surprisingly without any signs.

Shi Qingxue couldn’t speak out what was wrong. She just walked back and forth in the room repeatedly.

Mo Junyang couldn’t bear to see it. He forcefully held her in his arms and asked in a deep voice, “What’s wrong with you?”

Shi Qingxue lowered her head, to see that Mo Junyang grabbed her hand and applied ointment to its back carefully.

It turned out that she had scratched the back of her hand and left red marks on it because she was neurotic again.

It was not serious, and there was no blood, but it was just horribly red, so Mo Junyang handled her wound solemnly.

“I…I am fine,” Shi Qingxue replied in a low voice with no confidence.

She suddenly realized what was wrong when she felt the similar anxiety.

Last time she was in such a state when Shi Junhe and Wenren Chi died on the battlefield on Qingluo Mountain. She didn’t know that her father and brother had passed away, yet she felt lonely and helpless, so she could only abuse herself to stay awake.

This time, because Mo Junyang accompanied her, she didn’t have a chance to hurt herself, but she still had a feeling of despair which was stronger and stronger.

“Junyang, what’s going on? Why am I like this? I don’t know. I just feel scared. I fear that…” Shi Qingxue murmured and told Mo Junyang about her despair in two lives.

Mo Junyang also felt sad. He hated himself as he could do nothing to help Shi Qingxue. He could only hug her tightly and then kiss her cheeks repeatedly while comforting her. “It’s fine. There will be nothing wrong. Now your father stays in the capital in safety, and there is no war in the country for now. The Shi Army doesn’t need to go to the battlefield, so your father and brother are safe. They are safe and sound…”

He told Shi Qingxue patiently over and over again.

After a long time, Shi Qingxue gradually freed herself from the disorderly thoughts, and the man’s wet and warm breath came from her cheeks.

She didn’t want Mo Junyang to worry about her too much, so she smiled faintly. “I am fine now.”

Shi Qingxue regained sanity and knew that she couldn’t think too much. Otherwise, she would be in a dead end easily.

She got up and brought her zither over, putting it on the table. Then she smiled at Mo Junyang. “How about I play zither for you?”

Although it was not the time to play zither according to her daily routine, Mo Junyang naturally wouldn’t disagree.

“Okay.”

He volunteered to sit next to Shi Qingxue because he knew that he could make her feel at ease in this way.

The melodious zither music appeared. In the beginning, there was anxiety difficult to notice, but Shi Qingxue specially chose a tune which could soothe people.

In no time, it became more and more delightful.

One of them was playing zither, and the other was listening. They were in harmony.

However, when Shi Qingxue played the climax, the room door was open as somebody bumped into it suddenly. Wei Zichao ran in in panic. “Master, bad news.”

“Crack!” The music stopped and a string was broken. The rough string cut Shi Qingxue’s right index finger, and she felt so much pain that her hand shrank.

“Hiss!”

Shi Qingxue was so pained that her face wrinkled. Mo Junyang swiftly grabbed her hand and asked with concern, “What’s the matter?”

“It was cut,” Shi Qingxue mumbled and wanted to withdraw her hand by instinct.

However, Mo Junyang refused to let her go and put her hand in his mouth, licking the blood out of the finger.

Shi Qingxue kept silent.

Wei Zichao was speechless.

Perhaps because Mo Junyang did it too carefully and attentively, the other two couldn’t speak a word.

Shi Qingxue felt more embarrassed and murmured, “I…I am fine. Don’t worry about me.”

Mo Junyang looked up at her, with complaints and guilt in his eyes.

He complained about her as she didn’t care about herself.

And he felt guilty as he didn’t protect her well.

Shi Qingxue’s body got soft under his stare, and she didn’t know what to do. Even though her whole body was hot and her face almost burnt, she just obediently let Mo Junyang do anything for her.

Seeing that the couple displayed affection as if nobody else were here, Wei Zichao got impatient and couldn’t help but call again, “Master, I…”

Before Wei Zichao finished his words, Mo Junyang glared at him.

However, Wei Zichao was iron-willed this time and endured the “pain” as his body was dismembered by Mo Junyang’s eyes. He gritted his teeth and continued in one breath, “There was news from the capital just now. Duke Shi’s wife has a difficult labor and she is in deadly danger.”

“What?”

Shi Qingxue sprang from the chair instantly and felt dizzy. She almost couldn’t stand steadily.

Mo Junyang supported Shi Qingxue and calmly asked on behalf of her, “What’s going on? Tell me everything. Don’t say that it is so critical.”

He glared at Wei Zichao again. The master asked while threatening him with his eyes, “If you scare Qingxue, I will make you take the whole responsibility.”

The guard felt wronged.

This news was sent to him by the servants. They said that it was so critical, so what could he do?

Considering his life, Wei Zichao still tried his best to find some euphemisms. “Mr. Qu told somebody to send this news. He said that Duke Shi’s wife was poisoned and had fetal movements in advance. The situation is emergent. Mr. Qu asked you to return to the capital at once.”

It was the same matter, but after he polished it, it was more acceptable than the shocking news obviously.

Mo Junyang supported Shi Qingxue and then reminded her in a soft voice, “Qingxue, don’t worry. Shen Luo is in the capital, and your mother will be fine.”

Shen Luo was always praised as a miracle-working doctor and could bring a patient back to life. He was quite capable.

At this thought, Shi Qingxue felt a lot relieved, yet she still grasped Mo Junyang’s hand anxiously and said, “Let’s go back to the capital.”

Mo Junyang stared at Shi Qingxue deeply and agreed. “Okay, I will take you back to the capital.”

They were in a hurry this time, so Mo Junyang gave up the carriage and immediately told Wei Zichao to prepare horses. He would take Shi Qingxue back first, and the others in the family temple would return to the capital after the people came to send a message and pack up everything here.

Wei Zichao did everything. He was a bodyguard of Mo Junyang, so he would naturally go back to the capital with the master, but then he would part with Dong Shuang.

The leader of guards who was always decisive hesitated for the first time, but after only a short while, he returned reserved and didn’t say anything. Then he followed the master silently down the mountain on horseback.

Shi Qingxue wasn’t skilled in horsemanship, and she was restless, so Mo Junyang wouldn’t feel relieved to let her ride a horse alone.

Fortunately, Mo Junyang’s horse was a ferghana horse, one in a million in Mo Country, and it was not hard for this horse to carry two people. It ran as quickly as Wei Zichao’s horse.

They were on the journey for one day and night almost without a stop and finally returned to Duke Shi’s mansion.

Shi Qingxue finally knew that there were signs that Dong Hui would have a premature birth a few days ago, but the doctors in the mansion just thought that it was because of her health, so they didn’t take it seriously as no amniotic fluid came out. They just told her to rest quietly and didn’t find that she was poisoned.

One afternoon, the lower part of Dong Hui’s body bled profusely all of a sudden, which shocked everybody. When the doctors in the mansion and the imperial doctors didn’t know what to do, Qu Yuebai sent Shen Luo here.

Shen Luo found that Dong Hui was poisoned at a glance, and the poison was strong and put skillfully. Because she was pregnant, she couldn’t be detoxified, and it might harm the baby.

The best way was to save the mother and give up the baby.

In fact, Shi Junhe told Shen Luo to do so.

However, after Dong Hui heard that even if she was detoxified, she might not be able to get pregnant again in the future, she disagreed and didn’t allow Shen Luo to kill her baby.

Shen Luo was a miracle-working doctor, yet he could do nothing as the patient didn’t listen to him.

They argued several times, and it was delayed. Shen Luo had no choice but to prescribe some medicine, trying to relieve the poison in Dong Hui’s body, and then he quietly waited for the amniotic fluid to come out.

Only after the amniotic fluid came out could Dong Hui and the baby in her womb have a chance of survival.

As a result, after Shi Qingxue and the others returned to the mansion in a rush, Dong Hui hadn’t given birth or been detoxified.

Shi Qingxue was so anxious that she could do nothing. She asked Shen Luo all the questions that she could ask, and he answered all of them. In the end, he sighed helplessly. “Your mother is stubborn. She would rather die with the baby than let me kill it. I really…”

Shen Luo looked hesitant.

He had seen some women who would give birth to a baby at the risk of their lives, but generally they were new mothers or had no right to speak as the mother-in-law or husband demanded.

So he couldn’t understand why Dong Hui still insisted on giving birth to the baby even though she had two daughters and her husband and all the others asked him to save her and give up the baby.

Dong Hui even ignored the fact that the baby might be an idiot or monster after it was born because she was poisoned. She just wanted the baby in her womb.

When Shi Qingxue heard Shen Luo sighing sadly, she couldn’t stop the tears falling from her eyes and covering her face.

Mo Junyang supported Shi Qingxue from behind and comforted her in silence.

Seeing that Shen Luo looked at him, he said, “Since she wants to keep the baby so much, just keep it for her. Aren’t you a miracle-working doctor? Can’t you do such an easy job?”

Shen Luo was speechless.

The miracle-working doctor wanted to slap Mo Junyang with the words “such an easy job” and then say ferociously, “If you are capable, just do it.”

However, before he started, a midwife in the room suddenly shouted, “The amniotic fluid comes out.”
