The Great Planned Marriage: Becoming A Splendid Princess
Only one brother?
Shi Qingxue exploded at once after hearing Dong Hui’s words.
She couldn’t control herself anymore but questioned loudly, “Mother, as you say something like this, what do you think Qingmin is? How can you bear to treat your biological child in this way?”
Her two questions were straightforward and piercing, making Dong Hui’s smile frozen on her face. She looked at Shi Qingxue in embarrassment and couldn’t speak.
After recuperating for nearly one month, Dong Hui got much better than she had been when she gave birth to the babies. Although she was still unwilling to admit that the “monster” was her son, when somebody questioned her, she looked awkward inevitably.
For a moment, all people in the room stopped talking and laughing, and they were quiet and confused.
Dong Biren didn’t understand Shi Qingxue’s words. “Who is Qingmin? Isn’t Hui’s son named Tianyou?”
After hearing Dong Biren’s words, Shi Qingxue suddenly realized in surprise that her mother could do something like this.
She didn’t admit Shi Qingmin’s existence but even planned to keep him a secret in front of outsiders…
Even the Dong family didn’t know Shi Qingmin. How could Shi Qingxue expect that outsiders would know that there was a young master named Shi Qingmin in the Shi family?
She glanced at Shi Junhe who kept silent, with a serious expression, seeming to question him or expect something.
Dong Hui refused to admit Shi Qingmin. Would Shi Junhe hide this son as she wished?
Shi Junhe had a blush on his old face under Shi Qingxue’s sharp eyes, so he couldn’t control himself but told Dong Biren everything.
Dong Biren was astonished. “So, I have one more grandson, and he is raised in Qingxue’s villa now?”
“Right.” Shi Junhe felt ashamed and didn’t dare to meet Dong Biren’s eyes.
It seemed that he would be stabbed if he glanced at the old man.
Dong Biren guessed everything roughly from the Shi family’s weird attitude and Shi Junhe’s evasive explanation, yet he didn’t express his opinion at once. He just turned to Shi Qingxue.
Shi Qingxue looked at all people, saying seriously and firmly, “I don’t care about what you are thinking about. Shi Qingmin is my brother and a legitimate descendant who will be registered in the pedigree of the Shi family in the future. Nobody can deny it.”
“No!” Dong Hui denied it resolutely.
She spoke out her exaggerated words again just to scare people. “That’s a ‘monster’. If we accept him, how about Tianyou? We can’t allow him to harm Tianyou. I will never allow something like this.”
“Harm?” Shi Qingxue couldn’t help but sneer.
It was her first time to show her disdain for Dong Hui’s ignorance.
She raised her brows and squinted at her mother, saying in a distant voice, “If Qingmin didn’t absorb the poison in your body when he was a fetus, do you think that you and Tianyou would be so safe and sound?
“Even though Qingmin is always sick and not good-looking, you and Tianyou are the last people who qualify to call him monster. He has become like this because he bore the pain for you.”
She stressed each incisive word and told the truth in a sad and shrill voice.
She showed the most unendurable fact to Dong Hui and made her have nowhere to hide.
Shi Qingmin was just a little baby less than one month old. He couldn’t feel the pain or cry, nor did he even know what had happened.
Because of his mother’s persistence, he stayed alive as a disabled baby, yet he was disdained by his parents.
Such pain was enough to make people grieve even when they thought about it.
Shi Qingxue felt lucky as Shi Qingmin was only a little baby and didn’t know anything, so he couldn’t feel the pain.
However, she couldn’t bear to see that the most innocent baby was treated unfairly.
Dong Hui wanted to present a false appearance of peace and prosperity, while Shi Qingxue would reveal all the truth.
“No. It’s not true.”
Dong Hui opened her eyes wide. It was the first time for her to hear the truth, yet she denied it before thinking it over.
She couldn’t accept such an answer.
Shi Qingxue didn’t give her a chance to dodge but snorted. “Doctor Shen and Qingmin are in the mansion. If you don’t believe it, you can ask.
“Mother, because you were unwell earlier and I didn’t want you to bother about these things, I hid the truth, but…”
She sighed deeply and looked at Dong Hui, with her sad eyes. “Mother, you have gone too far.”
“No, I didn’t.” Dong Hui argued subconsciously and tried to find a reason to defend herself. “I did that for Tianyou. I can’t, I can’t let…”
“Tianyou is your child, but Qingmin is not?” Shi Qingxue mentioned the key point incisively.
Her question made Dong Hui speechless again and lower her head blushingly.
At the moment, Dong Biren stated, “Since Qingmin is Tianyou’s twin brother, you should celebrate for both of them, and you can’t be partial.”
Dong Biren was of the highest rank in seniority in the family, and he was strict, with prestige. Once he made a judgment, no matter what the others thought about, they had to do as he said.
However, at the thought of Shi Qingmin, Dong Hui couldn’t help but tremble, even though the baby was her savior in some sense. She didn’t want to have more contact with him.
It was too scary, and…
Dong Hui suddenly thought of something and then changed her mind. “Okay. I can admit that the mons…baby is the first young master of the Shi family, yet I have three requirements.”
“What requirements?” Shi Junhe asked in a hurry.
These days, he always thought about how to reconcile Dong Hui with their first son.
Now Dong Hui finally agreed. Even if her requirements were difficult to meet, he would have a try.
“Firstly, all people have seen that baby’s physical condition, so even though he is the first young master of the family, the title of Duke Shi’s heir is Tianyou’s.”
After she said that, nobody had any objections.
Although in Mo Country, generally, the first legitimate son would inherit the title of nobility, the family master had the right to select another heir, in case that the family would be declining in the future as the heir made no attempt to make progress or his aptitude was mediocre.
Shi Qingmin and Shi Tianyou were still babies, and their aptitudes couldn’t be seen, but Shi Qingmin’s physical condition was obvious, so he had no competitive power.
Shi Junhe just glanced at Shi Qingxue and then agreed. “Okay. When Tianyou is one year old, I will report to His Majesty and ask him to title Tianyou as Duke Shi’s heir.”
Dong Hui nodded with satisfaction and then continued, “Secondly, I can raise Shi Qingmin till he comes of age as the first young master according to the family rules and give him enough money for the future life after he grows up, yet the family property belongs to Tianyou, and Qingmin can’t covet it.”
According to the laws of Mo Country, the heir would inherit the ancestral mansion and the things passed down from the ancestors specially to the heir as well as three fourths of the family property, while the other sons shared one fourth equally.
It protected the heir’s right of inheritance to a large extent.
However, Dong Hui meant that they would only give Shi Qingmin some money and then drive him away after he grew up, and then Shi Tianyou would own all the family property.
She was so partial.
Shi Qingxue felt angry again, yet soon she thought, “Although Mother is partial to Tianyou in her requirement, we are all their children. Our parents gave birth to us and raised us, which is a big favor, so they can give their property to anybody as they like, and the children can only accept it with gratitude. How can we covet our parents’ property?”
She pursed her lips and restrained her reluctance while nodding. “The family property belongs to you and Father. We should respect your wish no matter how you want to make arrangements for it.”
Dong Hui smiled more happily and spoke out the next words more freely. “As for the third point, because Shi Qingmin lives outside since he was born, we’d better not change it. I can tell the servants to clean up a good villa for him to live. After he grows up, the villa will be given to him as his home, so he doesn’t need to rush about.”
She said that as if she gave Shi Qingmin alms.
However, after hearing that, Shi Qingxue turned pale and glared at Dong Hui in disbelief. “What did you say?”
Dong Hui looked away with guilt and avoided seeing Shi Qingxue. “Anyway, I have mentioned my requirements. It’s up to you whether you agree.
“Tianyou must be hungry, and I have to breastfeed him.”
After saying that, no matter what others said, Dong Hui hurriedly walked into the inner room with Tianyou in her arms.
She walked quickly, as if an evil ghost were chasing her.
The people in the outer room kept quiet. It seemed that they hadn’t understood the three requirements Dong Hui mentioned.
Especially the last one, she obviously wanted Shi Qingmin to be separate from the Shi family from the beginning.
He was the first young master of the Shi family in name, but he had to live alone far away from the family. It was fine for a grownup, yet Shi Qingmin was just a baby less than one month old.
“She has gone too far. I don’t agree.” Shi Qingxue tried her best to fight for what Shi Qingmin should get.
She hoped that Dong Hui could accept Shi Qingmin. Besides his identity, which was important, she hoped that he could live with the Shi family and be taken better care of.
However, Dong Hui was so heartless as to expel Shi Qingmin. She had gone too far.
Shi Junhe looked at Shi Qingxue’s angry face and sighed helplessly in secret.
He stayed with Dong Hui all the time these days and knew what his wife bothered about.
From the bottom of her heart, Dong Hui thought that Shi Qingmin brought ill luck to her and Shi Tianyou and that he would make them unpeaceful as long as he got close to them.
Even though she knew that Shi Qingmin was only a scapegoat, this thought didn’t fade.
It was not surprising that Dong Hui would try every means to drive Shi Qingmin away even though she agreed to admit his identity.
Shi Junhe pondered for a long time and then talked to Shi Qingxue in the end, “Qingxue, this thing…”
He didn’t dare to meet his daughter’s eyes but only added with difficulty, “Just agree with your mother.”
Shi Qingxue was shocked.
She opened her eyes wider and could hardly believe that her father she loved and respected would act evilly in collusion with her mother in this thing.
“Why?”
“Your mother has her considerations. Don’t insist, okay?” Shi Junhe finally raised his head and met Shi Qingxue’s eyes.

Dong Hui acted upon whatever her father said since childhood, and it was no exception this time.However, at the thought of Shi Qingmin, Dong Hui couldn’t help but tremble, even though the baby was her savior in some sense. She didn’t want to have more contact with him.
