All people were shocked by the sudden news Shi Jie mentioned.
Shi Junhe frowned and glared at him. “What nonsense are you talking about?”
Who was the first young master? He was Dong Hui’s biological son. How would she kill her son that she gave birth to after being pregnant for nine months?
Even if Shi Jie wanted to show how serious this matter was, he didn’t need to attract people’s attention in this way.
Shi Jie was certainly censured by all people’s eyes.
“I, I…” Shi Jie stuttered under the glare and almost mustered up his most courage before continuing, “I didn’t tell a lie. Madam said that the first young master is…is a monster and was not born to her, so she wanted to smash him to death. The servants wanted to stop her, yet she beat and cursed them. Now Mammy Zheng is trying to persuade her in the East House, but Madam…”
He tried to finish everything in one breath, but before he finished speaking, the masters who stood in front of him ran to the East House like the wind.
Shi Jie thought, “I have seen what happened in the East House. Madam tried several times and almost strangled the newborn baby to death. She was so ruthless and really wanted to take his life.” Only at this thought, he was terrified.
He hoped that the masters could settle it after they went there.
Shi Junhe and the others ran to the East House one after another. Before they entered the bedroom, they saw that Dong Hui raised a swaddled baby and then smashed it to the floor heavily.
“No!”
“No!”
Shi Junhe and Shi Qingxue screamed at the same time, yet both of them were far away from Dong Hui and couldn’t save the baby in time.
They could do nothing but see the swaddling clothes fall on the floor.
Shi Qingxue closed her eyes in despair and didn’t dare to see the painful and bloody scene.
However, the sound as they expected didn’t appear, while they heard a familiar grunt.
Qingxue’s ear moved automatically. She thought that she had misheard and couldn’t help but open her eyes to have a look.
The baby who was supposed to fall had dropped on the floor, while Mo Junyang was underneath him. The baby happened to fall into his arms and bump into his soft belly, so he was unharmed and didn’t even cry.
It happened that Mo Junyang rushed into the room with flying skills at the crucial moment and fell on the floor to catch the baby, so the grunt was from him when he fell as he couldn’t protect himself in an emergency.
After Shi Qingxue reacted, she rushed into the room in an instant and wanted to help Mo Junyang up, but before she touched him, she withdrew her hand.
“Junyang, are you injured? Is it serious?” She was so nervous that she had tears in her eyes, yet she didn’t dare to move Mo Junyang as she was afraid that his wound would get more serious.
Mo Junyang wanted to hold Shi Qingxue’s hand and tell her that he was fine, but as soon as he reached out his hand, he pulled the wound.
His pain made his handsome face twist.
“Don’t move. Don’t!” Shi Qingxue was scared by Mo Junyang’s movement to flaunt his strength. She hurriedly reached out her hand to grab his and didn’t allow him to move randomly.
At the same time, she anxiously shouted at the people around in a rage who were still in a trance, “Why are you standing here blankly? Go and send for Doctor Shen.”
“Oh, yes. I am going!”
Finally somebody started to do that.
Shi Qingxue couldn’t afford to care about so much. She cautiously picked up the baby from Mo Junyang’s arms, in case that it made Mo Junyang’s wound more serious.
She checked the baby roughly. His little body was protected well by Mo Junyang, and he wasn’t injured or scared by this accident.
He didn’t cry but even shouted “wow” excitedly when he saw Shi Qingxue. It seemed that he thought that all people merely played with him and he didn’t realize that he almost died.
“You little thing!” Shi Qingxue was at a loss whether to cry or to laugh, yet seeing that this little baby was unharmed, she heaved a sigh of relief and then ignored him. Later she left the baby to Xia Mang.
After all, Mo Junyang was the most important now.
She turned her head, to see that there was sweat on Mo Junyang’s tan skin. When she looked at him, he still smiled, pretending to be iron-willed. “I am fine.”
It was fine when Mo Junyang didn’t say that. After he said that, tears fell across Shi Qingxue’s cheeks uncontrollably. “You liar.”
He was so seriously wounded, yet he still wanted to cheat her. Didn’t he think that she could see that he had sweat on his forehead because he endured the pain?
However, she was clearer about why Mo Junyang did that than anybody else.
He did everything for her.
Otherwise, with Mo Junyang’s indifference, even if ten or one hundred people died in front of him, he wouldn’t blink his eyes, not to mention hurting himself in order to save a person unrelated to him.
This was something stupid that Mo Junyang would never do.
He would harm somebody else without benefiting himself after doing that.
Nevertheless, for the sake of Shi Qingxue, he did that and got injured so seriously for the first time.
Shi Qingxue was moved and guilty, yet she could do nothing to help him even when she saw him in pain.
She hated herself for being weak.
“Sorry. I am sorry…”
In the end, what Shi Qingxue could say was only to apologize, which was the most useless.
Even she disdained herself after saying that, but she didn’t know how to express her apology except that.
“Don’t cry. I am fine, really.” Mo Junyang thought that it was nothing, yet seeing Shi Qingxue’s tears, he was in panic and struggled, trying to get up.
Shi Qingxue was scared and hurriedly reached out her hand to stop him. “Are you crazy? Don’t move.”
“Gee! Damn it!” Mo Junyang cursed in a low voice with displeasure.
Shi Qingxue was stunned to hear Mo Junyang’s curse and looked at him blankly in silence.
Did he curse her?
Mo Junyang frowned and looked disgusted, which made Shi Qingxue more guilty. “I am sorry. It’s my fault. If…”
“It has nothing to do with you.” Mo Junyang instantly denied it after seeing that Shi Qingxue misunderstood.
Shi Qingxue pursed her lips hesitantly. “But just now you…”
Mo Junyang blushed because of shyness.
He didn’t blame Shi Qingxue but felt frustrated.
In anybody’s eyes, King Rui’s heir was powerful and invincible.
This time he suffered losses in an insignificant accident. He was injured seriously because of such a trifle, which was humiliating.
Hearing Mo Junyang’s reason, Shi Qingxue was able neither to cry nor to laugh.
She had never known that Mo Junyang who was always steady and calm would behave like a kid. He was…
He was so lovely.
However, in order to protect Mo Junyang’s dignity, Shi Qingxue didn’t laugh, while she couldn’t restrain the smile on her face.
The breath-taking fear and panic disappeared gradually.
Nevertheless, at this time, Dong Hui rushed to Xia Mang and shouted emotionally, “He is a monster. Give him to me. I will smash him to death…”
Dong Hui’s shocking words frightened all people who came in later. Xia Mang didn’t dare to give the baby to Dong Hui, and this time, Mo Junyang wouldn’t risk his life to save him.
However, as a young maid, Xia Mang didn’t dare to fight against the mistress, and she had a little baby who should be taken care of in her arms, so she was at a disadvantage in an instant. Dong Hui who was crazy almost snatched the baby again.
She just almost succeeded.
Shi Junhe reacted first and held Dong Hui, stopping her from being crazy. “Hui, do you know what you are doing? That’s our son!”
Hearing the word “son”, Dong Hui was more emotional and covered her ears while screaming, “No, he is not my son. My baby is sleeping soundly in the bed. This is a monster, monster!”
The harsh voice made Shi Qingxue furious, and especially the word “monster” irritated her more.
She couldn’t help but shout at Dong Hui, “Mother, are you crazy? He is my brother.”
Dong Hui refused to admit it and pointed to the baby in Xia Mang’s arms, cursing, “No. He is a monster. How would I give birth to such a monster? My baby should be clean and fair-skinned and can’t be like this.”
There was an ancient saying that the mother wouldn’t dislike her ugly son. No matter how disappointing the son looked, the mother would be unhappy at most or distant to him in daily life in the future. Nobody had heard that a mother disowned her son and even killed him because he was ugly.
All people were frightened by Dong Hui’s vicious words and thought that she was insane.
“Enough. Stop!” Shi Junhe hugged Dong Hui tightly and wanted to stop her from making a scene.
Unexpectedly, Dong Hui was emotional and her eyelids rolled. She went into a coma again.
It happened that Shen Luo arrived at this time.
“Doctor Shen, please…” Shi Junhe hugged Dong Hui and said to Shen Luo apologetically.
However, Shen Luo didn’t give him a chance to finish the words. He didn’t look at Shi Junhe but squatted in front of Mo Junyang. “How are you?”
Shi Junhe was speechless.
All people kept silent.
Mammy Zheng censured Shen Luo first, “What’s wrong with you? Haven’t you seen that Madam is in a coma? Why don’t you come over in a hurry to check her pulse?”
It seemed that Dong Hui’s coma was something significant while Mo Junyang was unimportant.
Shen Luo rolled his eyes and asked without mercy, “Who are you? Why?”
“Aren’t you a miracle-working doctor? Madam is ill, yet you don’t examine her. Why do you dillydally there? If Madam has an accident, our master…”
“Enough!” Shi Qingxue couldn’t help but rebuke her in a rage.
Even though Mammy Zheng was Dong Hui’s maid and did that for Dong Hui, she was hateful as she was so bold and took somebody else’s kindness for granted.
After Shi Qingxue yelled at her, Mammy Zheng shrank her neck and didn’t dare to confront the young lady, so she had to turn to Shi Junhe for help.
Shi Qingxue ignored Mammy Zheng after making her shut up. She hurriedly told Shen Luo what happened when Mo Junyang was injured.
In the end, she looked at Shen Luo without rolling her eyes. “Doctor Shen, is Junyang fine?”
After she asked, her voice was trembling involuntarily.
