Shi Qingxue clenched her fists hidden in her sleeves and almost couldn’t help but question Dong Hui, yet she saw that her mother’s thin body trembled slightly when she spoke.
So she got soft-hearted again at once.
She knew that Dong Hui was sick. Why would she bother about a patient?
Perhaps Shi Junhe chose to keep silent just because he considered Dong Hui’s feelings.
Shi Qingxue pursed her lips and gradually understood Shi Junhe’s hard effort, so she didn’t continue to force him to give a name to her first brother.
However, was it proper as her little brother had a name while the other didn’t have one?
Now Mammy Zheng dared to mention the first young master of the Shi family with disdain. If the news spread that the masters of the Shi family were unwilling to name the first young master, his status in the mansion in the future could be imagined.
Shi Qingxue didn’t allow something like this.
She lowered her head and pondered for a moment. Then she looked at Shi Junhe and said seriously, “Father, if you and Mother are unwilling to give a name to my first brother, I have to exceed my authority and take your job.”
This time, Shi Junhe grabbed Dong Hui’s hand and responded in advance, “Okay. You are taking care of him now, so it’s proper if you give a name to him.”
“Then his name is Tian…”
As soon as Shi Qingxue started, Dong Hui’s sharp voice interrupted her before the girl figured out a name for her brother.
“No. The word Tian can’t be in his name. Otherwise, he will surely make me and Tianyou die!”
Dong Hui grabbed Shi Junhe’s hand and shouted emotionally, “Junhe, you can’t let this monster harm our son!”
“Enough!”
Shi Qingxue was irritated as Dong Hui said the word “monster” repeatedly. Even though the mother was sick, could she hurt her biological son wantonly?
Shi Qingxue took a deep breath and restrained her anger. Then she sneered. “Fine…fine. You are afraid, yet I don’t believe it. Since you are unwilling, I will just name him Shi Qingmin. I have the same word Qing in my name. So none of you will be implicated, okay?”
Seeing that Shi Qingxue gave a name to her brother without thinking it over, Dong Hui got anxious. She couldn’t watch her daughter being “harmed”.
However, Shi Qingxue didn’t give Dong Hui a chance but left after saying that.
At the moment, nobody could predict that Shi Qingmin, this name which was decided to vent anger would be remembered in the history of the Mo Dynasty through the ages in the end.
After returning to the Luotong Boudoir, Shi Qingxue still felt resentful.
She couldn’t figure out what was wrong with Dong Hui.
Even though Shi Qingmin looked disappointing indeed, Dong Hui shouldn’t deny his existence.
This mother had gone too far.
All people said that even a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs, but Shi Qingxue couldn’t see any kinship in what Dong Hui did. She just felt disappointed.
“What’s wrong?” Mo Junyang happened to come in.
After he recuperated these days, the wound on his shoulder blade was fully healed.
Nevertheless, they couldn’t enjoy the leisurely life in the family temple on Tan Mountain anymore.
Firstly, Mo Xiangbin was more seriously ill day by day, and even Shen Luo was at a loss what to do.
Nobody knew what this emperor thought about, and he started to remember the kinship and told Mo Junyang to enter the imperial palace almost every day.
He didn’t talk business but mentioned something unimportant every time.
He was like a gentle father caring about his son’s daily life.
Unfortunately, it was Mo Junyang, and he didn’t care about Mo Xiangbin’s flattering words.
When he was free, he would enter the imperial palace and sit with Mo Xiangbin for a while, not more than one hour, but he was not free most of the time.
Moreover, Mo Junyu was the crown prince acting as regent now. He was in power, and he should take on a lot of responsibilities.
Even though the crown prince was intelligent innately, capable and fond of learning, he would be inevitably at a loss facing the complicated state affairs when he started to take the job.
After Mo Junyu asked Mo Junyang for advice on some state affairs and got wonderful solutions, he summoned Mo Junyang more frequently.
He almost took Mo Junyang as his wise counsellor and murmured in secret, “Gee, Junyang, where did you learn these capabilities? I haven’t seen that you are diligent in reading books at ordinary times, but how can you be so experienced in dealing with these things?”
Some of Mo Junyang’s solutions were even more appropriate than Mo Xiangbin’s.
After Mo Junyu saw that, he was suddenly enlightened and also astonished.
If the crown prince knew that Mo Junyang was an emperor who was on the throne for longest in the Mo Dynasty’s history of only one hundred years, he wouldn’t be so surprised.
Mo Junyang naturally wouldn’t reveal so much to Mo Junyu. After helping the crown prince deal with some matters difficult to handle every day, he was anxious to return to the Shi family’s mansion regardless of the crown prince’s suggestion of staying to have dinner with him.
When Mo Junyang saw Shi Qingxue’s gloomy expression, he thought that he was right to do that.
Shi Qingxue came back to reality from her messy thoughts and then saw Mo Junyang standing in front of her with his back to the cold sunshine in winter, as tall and big as a god.
Mo Junyang noticed her trance and hurriedly walked to her, sitting next to her. He grabbed her cold hand and stressed while asking again, “What’s wrong with you?”
Shi Qingxue leaned against Mo Junyang’s arms conveniently, and the familiar and warm breath enveloped her, so her chilled heart started to return warm. “I went to the East House just now…”
She slowly and carefully told Mo Junyang what had happened just now.
Although what happened made her feel sad and humiliated, these negative emotions weakened a lot in front of Mo Junyang.
She told Mo Junyang everything and finally felt better. Then she asked, “Junyang, what should I do?”
Mo Junyang smiled and reached out his hand to rub Shi Qingxue’s head gently. “Don’t you take care of Qingmin these days? You just have to do that for longer. Why are you so emotional?”
Shi Qingxue goggled and expressed with displeasure that she didn’t mean it.
Nevertheless, before she got mad, Mo Junyang quickly admitted his fault and then comforted her sincerely. “Fine, I was joking with you. As you said, your mother is sick and can’t logically think about a lot of things. At least, General Shi is wise and doesn’t entrust the baby to an outsider.”
Shi Qingxue lowered her head and pondered for a moment. Then she found that it was true, so she stopped being angry.
There was only one thing…
“But Mother feels disgusted with Qingmin so much and doesn’t even want to keep him alive, not to mention letting him stay in the mansion. In order not to irritate her, I and Qingmin have to move out of the mansion for now.”
Although Shi Qingxue was unwilling, after Mo Junyang advised and comforted her, she didn’t want to make Dong Hui unhappy for something insignificant like this.
So Mo Junyang said, “It doesn’t matter. I will accompany you…”
Before he finished his words, Shi Qingxue couldn’t help but giggle.
She joked. “Gee, you can’t accompany me.”
As Duke Shi’s family and King Rui’s family were friends, and Mo Junyang was injured in Duke Shi’s mansion, it was understandable that he lived here.
However, if Shi Qingxue moved out of Duke Shi’s mansion and he still followed her, the outsiders would laugh at him.
Even though they were engaged, they couldn’t be so close.
When Mo Junyang thought about this, his face which was always calm finally looked unhappy.
He put on a long face and stared at something on the floor, with his eyes which suddenly got cold, looking horrible.
Such a cold and cruel Mo Junyang was almost like Emperor Moshang who could make babies cry at night in rumors in the previous life, and he was so scary.
He didn’t conceal his emotions, and it was enough to scare others to death.
After seeing that, Shi Qingxue wasn’t afraid, yet she instantly realized that she had carried the joke too far.
“Junyang…” Qingxue murmured and bent over, resting her head on Mo Junyang’s shoulder while saying gently, “I will be unaccustomed when you are not around me. Come to see me every day in the future, okay?”
Her words showed that she was dependent on him, which calmed his fidget and fury, like a pair of tender hands.
Mo Junyang calmed down quickly and then hugged Shi Qingxue.
He lowered his head and kissed her cheek with his thin lips. The latter didn’t dodge but rubbed against him by instinct.
Mo Junyang felt soft-hearted unspeakably at once, and the horrible expression on his face disappeared, while only tenderness was left on it. “Okay.”
Wei Zichao stood at the door and watched as Mo Junyang became tender and soft even though he had been angry and horrible earlier. He was dumbfounded and meanwhile admired Shi Qingxue.
Was this…a live show of taming a beast?
The guard conjectured about his master “evilly” and imagined Mo Junyang like a beast going crazy, so he couldn’t help but laugh.
Gee. If there was somebody in the world who could change Mo Junyang, it must be nobody but Shi Qingxue.
However, nobody knew whether the change was good or bad.
Nobody had time to think about so much.
After a heart-to-heart talk with Mo Junyang, Shi Qingxue finally vented her sulk brought from the East House. Then she discussed with him and decided to move out of Duke Shi’s mansion with Shi Qingmin as soon as possible.
As for where she would live, it happened that Mo Xiangbin rewarded her with a lot of valuable manors when he granted their marriage. Some of them were in the north of the city with a good location and convenient transportation, and some of them were in the suburbs with beautiful scenery…
Shi Qingxue didn’t worry that she would have no place to live.
She pondered for a moment and then chose a villa in the northern suburbs. Firstly, it was not far from or near King Rui’s mansion, and it was convenient for Mo Junyang to come and go back. Secondly, the environment and facilities were the best among all the manors, and it was suitable for Qingmin to recuperate.
Seeing that Shi Qingxue considered for him when she chose a residence, Mo Junyang felt peaceful.
As Wei Zichao said, the most direct expression was the big smile on his face.
Mo Junyang volunteered to clean up the villa first, while Shi Qingxue was left in the Luotong Boudoir to pack up.
She didn’t know how long she would stay in the villa this time, and especially she would take a baby, so she needed to prepare more things.
At this time, another unexpected guest came to the Luotong Boudoir.
