Chapter 376: Kick Down the Ladder?

Shi Qingxue would go to Jiangzhou with Mo Junyang, yet she couldn’t go away whenever she liked.

There was a big “problem” in the mansion. Before she solved it, she really couldn’t go out.

The problem was nothing but Shi Qingmin.

Her beloved brother.

Although Shi Qingmin didn’t need her to feed him, he was still dependent on her. Especially when he was sick or injured, he wouldn’t be calm if she didn’t take care of him.

After Shi Qingxue left this time, probably she wouldn’t come back until one or two months later.

She didn’t know if Shi Qingmin could accept it.

“My Lady, just go there. I and the servants will take care of the first young master, and he will be fine.” Dong Shuang patted her chest with confidence.

Shi Qingxue smiled bitterly and thought, “As you said that, I won’t relax.”

“Forget it.” Shi Qingxue sighed slightly, pretending that she didn’t see Dong Shuang pout. Then she told Xia Mang, “Xia Mang, Qingmin will be left to you. You should take good care of him and can’t let him have anything wrong. Do you understand?”

Xia Mang always followed Shi Qingxue’s orders, yet now she couldn’t help but frown, stuttering, “I want more to go to Jiangzhou with you. Jiangzhou is a small remote city. If I can’t be around you, I will be worried about you.”

Dong Shuang stated in a hurry, “I will go to Jiangzhou with you, My Lady.”

Seeing that her maids were decisive, Shi Qingxue was amused.

She knew that both of them were loyal to her, and if she tried to stop them, she would fail.

So she put on a long face and rebuked, “Are you the mistress? Don’t you listen to me?”

“I dare not.”

“I dare not.”

Xia Mang and Dong Shuang answered in unison and obediently lowered their heads to admit their fault.

Shi Qingxue softened and told Xia Mang the truth. “You know that I will be worried about Qingmin most after I go to Jiangzhou. Even though Mother won’t resent him anymore, I am still worried if I let the servants in the mansion take care of him. You are prudent, and I trust you only.

“So please take good care of Qingmin, okay?”

Since Shi Qingxue said that, Xia Mang had to agree obediently even though she had a problem with it. “I will listen to you.”

Dong Shuang asked in a hurry, “How about me? I will go with you, okay?”

When Qingxue looked at her, Dong Shuang added, “I am not mature or prudent but make trouble naughtily all the time, so I am not the right choice to take care of a baby at home. Let me follow you and take care of you, okay?”

Shi Qingxue was amused by Dong Shuang’s hard self-deprecation and couldn’t help snorting. “You know that you are naughty and make trouble?”

Dong Shuang stuck out her tongue awkwardly and laughed. “I am a bit self-indulgent because you protect me, right?”

“I think that you are more than a bit self-indulgent. You are just reckless,” Xia Mang poked Dong Shuang’s forehead with her slender finger and cursed crossly.

“You just do whatever you want because Lady Qingxue spoils you. You don’t even take the masters seriously.”

Dong Shuang was resentful to hear that, yet she still wanted Shi Qingxue to take her, so she didn’t argue but stared at the young lady pitifully.

Shi Qingxue was helpless under Dong Shuang’s stare and waved her hand, gesturing for Xia Mang to stop rebuking. She expressed with a smile, “Well, we need a woman on the trip. You follow me, yet I have something to tell you in advance.”

Dong Shuang noticed that the young lady would warn her of the consequences, so she stopped joking in a hurry and stated respectfully, “My Lady, please go ahead.”

“Firstly, when we are outside, it’s different from our mansion. You should be well-behaved and can’t act willfully.” Shi Qingxue knew that Dong Shuang was just naughty but wouldn’t play the bully, while she had to say something in advance.

Dong Shuang agreed and vowed solemnly that she wouldn’t get the young lady into trouble.

Qingxue added, “Secondly, His Excellency is the leader on this trip, and he is the decision-maker. If he gives orders, you should follow them and take him as the master. Do you understand?”

Dong Shuang looked hesitant and stared at Qingxue in perplexity. “But I am…your maid. I will listen to you. Isn’t it enough?”

The little maid looked careless, while she was clear about everything.

From beginning to end, she thought that Shi Qingxue was different from Mo Junyang, and their engagement merely gave Mo Junyang the identity as the young lady’s future husband, but she couldn’t be as loyal to Mo Junyang as to Shi Qingxue.

Shi Qingxue knew this point, so she made a few rules earlier, while this maid was stubborn and even unwilling to cheat her or make her happy.

Qingxue could do nothing to Dong Shuang, yet it was significant, and she wouldn’t indulge the maid.

She ordered forcefully, “Anyway, it’s decided. If you can’t follow His Excellency’s orders or stop when he forbids you, you’d better not go there.”

Dong Shuang looked at Shi Qingxue with expectancy and hoped that the young lady would take back her words, but Qingxue got hard-hearted and ignored her.

The maid could do nothing. She thought, “His Excellency loves the young lady so much now. Even if he will love somebody else, he won’t do it in a short period.

“Then I will listen to His Excellency for now, and it won’t harm the young lady, right?”

Dong Shuang weighed secretly and then nodded in agreement. “I promise that I will listen to His Excellency all the way, following his orders and stopping when he forbids me.”

Seeing that Shi Qingxue finally showed a smile, Dong Shuang also got happy and opened her eyes wide, looking at her. “Why don’t you continue?”

“What?” Shi Qingxue was more confused than her.

Dong Shuang asked in confusion, “Didn’t you say that you would make a few rules? You have just mentioned two points. What is the third one?”

Shi Qingxue was speechless.

She could do nothing to the inflexible Dong Shuang.

She reached out her hand and knocked at the maid’s head, snorting. “By the way, Zichao will go with us. So what’s the third one? You try to figure it out.”

Afterward, Qingxue ignored the maid and got up, going to see Shi Qingmin.

Qu Yuebai didn’t insist on following Mo Junyang to Jiangzhou anymore, while he was still worried about their trip.

He couldn’t help but remind, “Junyang, you have performed meritorious service to help the new emperor take the throne anyway. Even if he wants to abandon somebody who has done everything for him, he shouldn’t treat you like this.

“What does he mean as he sends you to Jiangzhou?”

Qu Yuebai was resentful as Mo Junyu threw away anything that he had used, so he started to criticize the emperor without concealment.

Mo Junyang stood with his hands behind his back and watched the scenery out of the window. After Qu Yuebai finished complaining, Mo Junyang turned to glance at him and stated indifferently, “Enough. You can be so reckless only in the Love Xue House. Do you think that he is good-tempered? If he knows that you speak ill of him behind his back, won’t he be angry?”

Both of them knew who “he” was.

Qu Yuebai didn’t retort after hearing that. He just looked resentful in his eyes and couldn’t forget this thing.

Mo Junyang sighed and then added, “This matter is not so simple, and His Majesty is not so snobbish as you said. Don’t need to worry much.”

“If he doesn’t intend to harm you, why did he send you to Jiangzhou? Generally, even if he transfers you to other cities, he should send you to a rich place where you can gain profit to express that he rewards you, right?” Qu Yuebai couldn’t figure it out.

Mo Junyang showed a cold smile and snorted. “Because he has no choice.”

“What do you mean?” Qu Yuebai couldn’t understand it for now.

“You have also said that the trip to Jiangzhou will be much more difficult than we can imagine. Don’t you think that His Majesty knows it? If he is not driven into a corner, I think that he won’t show the weak point to me.”

Mo Junyang spoke meaningfully, yet Qu Yuebai was more confused, so he looked at the master blankly.

“You don’t know well about His Majesty. We have been friends for so many years, and he relies on and trusts me indeed, but he may be alert to me.

“Perhaps he can understand that everything of his was given by me, and even his life was saved by me. In this matter, he will owe me a favor and be inferior to me forever, yet he is arrogant and unwilling to admit this fact.

“Even though he can’t change it, he will try his best to hide it. These days, he seldom discusses government affairs with me, which is the best proof. He doesn’t want to show the white feather to me or make others think that he can’t make it without me.”

Mo Junyang said every word slowly and analyzed Mo Junyu’s mild and indirect thoughts clearly.

Mo Junyu thought that nobody knew his thoughts, while he didn’t know that Mo Junyang had seen through him long ago.

However, Mo Junyang never mentioned it but pretended that he didn’t know.

Qu Yuebai looked as if he was suddenly enlightened. “I see. I was wondering why he doesn’t like to discuss government affairs with you these days and thought that he kicked down the ladder, yet I didn’t expect that he would have such indirect thoughts.”

He sighed with emotion but got confused again in the end.

“Why did he give the job in Jiangzhou to you this time?”

“Didn’t I say it? He has no choice.” Mo Junyang showed a distant smile.

There was sarcasm in his cold expression. “He can’t solve the problem in Jiangzhou with his abilities, so he has to ask me to do it.”

Qu Yuebai was unable to speak a word. Why did he think that Mo Junyu was more shameless to do this than to throw away anything that he had used?

When he didn’t need to use Mo Junyang, he abandoned him, but when Mo Junyang could be made use of, the emperor combined threats with inducements…

Qu Yuebai had a worse impression of Mo Junyu and asked Mo Junyang in depression, “Why did you help him?”

In Qu Yuebai’s opinion, Mo Junyang should report sick and refuse to go.

Mo Junyang shook his head and told the truth. “It’s not the right time to turn against him. Moreover…”

Mo Junyang’s eyes lit up. “I want to go there.”

Qu Yuebai had nothing to say but ask, “What can I do?”

Mo Junyang lowered his head and pondered for a moment. Then he said, “Mo Junhao has fled to the northern border, and his followers in the capital have followed him to the north or surrendered. Logically, they must have scattered, yet the city is so big, and perhaps some people still stay in the capital. I want you to find out all the spies in the capital.”

“Yes, I will.”
