Chapter 385: The Wife Is No Match for a Concubine

As Mo Junyang saw that Shi Qingxue, a pure girl became a mature and coquettish young woman, the corners of his mouth twitched indistinctly.

In the end, he had to ask helplessly with a smile, “What do you want to do?”

Shi Qingxue smiled slyly. “Don’t worry. I can handle it. Just stay in the carriage and watch the young lady, in case that there is something wrong with her.”

She had a feeling that the young girl lying in the carriage might be a big shot.

After being in the line for nearly one hour, it was their turn to enter the city.

A guard dressed in soldiers’ clothes walked forward lazily. Looking at the carriage, he asked Wei Ziye, like a boss, “Who is inside?”

Wei Ziye had been instructed by Shi Qingxue, so he restrained his momentum and answered politely, “Sir, my masters are inside.”

“Lift the curtain and let me see,” the guard ordered.

Afterward, he raised his hand to lift the curtain of the carriage.

Wei Ziye grabbed the guard’s hand subconsciously, and the latter instantly screamed like a pig which would be killed.

All the other guards behind saw that and got up alertly, looking at them.

“Let me go. Let me go!” the guard cried and wanted to call his workmates.

Shi Qingxue in the carriage heard that the voice was unusual, so she hurriedly lifted the curtain and stopped Wei Ziye. “Ziye, don’t be rude. Hurry up and let go of this officer.”

The curtain was opened, and a beautiful face with makeup was revealed under the curtain.

With her bright eyes and white teeth, she was fascinating.

With a half smile added, she was more enchanting.

The guard got absent-minded instantly and looked at Shi Qingxue while smiling. “What a beautiful lady!”

Wei Ziye’s face darkened, with killing intent.

However, the guard was blinded by the beauty and didn’t notice it. He just narrowed his eyes and looked at Shi Qingxue.

Shi Qingxue made signs at Wei Ziye in secret to tell him not to be impulsive.

She continued to smile and stated, “Sir, you flatter me. I and my husband, servant are going back to Jiangzhou to visit relatives. Please do me a favor and let us in.”

Hearing that she would enter the city, the guard finally stopped looking obscene and tried to show a serious expression. “The magistrate has said that we should carefully check all the carriages entering the city. Is there anybody else in this carriage?”

While asking, the guard tried to touch Shi Qingxue’s tender hand.

Shi Qingxue grabbed the curtain and raised it in advance while leaning to one side. She maintained her composure and avoided his hand in the name of lifting the curtain for him.

The guard didn’t hit the target. He didn’t dare to pursue her brazenly, so he craned his neck to check the carriage.

Mo Junyang sat on one side of the carriage, with a deep and indifferent face. He had a book in his hands. When the guard asked, Mo Junyang raised his head slowly.

“What’s the matter?” Mo Junyang’s expression didn’t change, but when he looked at somebody, he frightened others with his momentum.

The guard moved backward involuntarily and then thought that his action showed that he was cowardly. Then he shouted at Mo Junyang angrily, “What are you looking at? The officers will inspect you. Hurry up and get out.”

Shi Qingxue was nervous and afraid that when Mo Junyang got angry, he would kill this guard who acted recklessly and blindly.

“Ho…Honey,” she called before Mo Junyang spoke.

Her voice was sweet, seeming to be scared or play the woman.

Mo Junyang paused and looked up at her. After keeping silent for a moment, he didn’t say anything but walked out of the carriage.

The guard thought that Mo Junyang was outwardly strong yet inwardly weak. This guy looked mighty but got out obediently after he howled.

The guard was satisfied and wanted to rebuke this man, but he found that Mo Junyang was much taller than him.

After the man got out of the carriage, his tall and big figure gave others a feeling of oppression.

Even if the guard stood on tip-toe and raised his chin, his momentum was weaker.

The guard yelled at Mo Junyang reluctantly, “Back off. Don’t disturb us when we are working.”

Mo Junyang walked around the carriage and went to Shi Qingxue.

They sat out of the carriage far away, and the guard finally found his momentum as an officer back. He snorted and checked everything in the carriage again.

“Why is there another person in the carriage? Hurry up and get out,” the guard shouted with displeasure as he saw the young girl lying inside.

Shi Qingxue explained in a hurry, “Sir, please don’t be angry. That’s my husband’s fiancee. She is unwell and sleeping in the carriage. Please forgive her.”

Mo Junyang and Wei Ziye looked at Shi Qingxue at the same time, with shock in their eyes.

“Fiancee?” The guard was also surprised and then looked Shi Qingxue up and down. “The one inside is his fiancee, so who are you to him?”

Right, they wanted to know the answer, too.

Shi Qingxue kept her composure and replied without hesitation, “I am only a concubine bought by my husband to serve him. Please don’t laugh at me.”

The dumbfounded Wei Ziye and silent Mo Junyang were speechless.

The two men’s faces were colorful, and they goggled at Shi Qingxue, with their pupils enlarging all of a sudden. Wei Ziye was open-mouthed, and his jaw almost dropped.

She could say something like this calmly?

How did Shi Qingxue make it?

The guard didn’t notice the two men’s reactions but just glanced at Mo Junyang with jealousy, murmuring, “Gee, you are so lucky. Your concubine is so beautiful, and how much more beautiful is your fiancee?”

He craned his neck to the carriage curiously and asked, “What’s wrong with her?”

“She has a cold and a fever. She has been asleep for only a short while. Please do us a favor, Sir.”

After hearing Shi Qingxue’s words, the guard turned pale instantly and forgot to look at the woman’s face in the carriage. He moved backward suddenly and waved his hand. “You can’t enter the city. Go away now.”

His attitude changed all of a sudden, and Shi Qingxue was confused. “What’s wrong?”

“Haven’t you seen it? It’s said in the notice that the people with a fever are not allowed to enter the city.”

Shi Qingxue followed the guard’s hand and saw the notice next to the city gate clearly. It was said that any patient, especially with a fever was forbidden to enter the city in order to prevent the epidemic from spreading again.

Because the primary feature of the patients infected with the epidemic was a high fever, those people tried to avoid anybody with a fever as they were afraid that they would be infected.

The guard didn’t dare to enter the carriage to check. He waved his hand repeatedly to drive them away.

Shi Qingxue’s eyes rolled, and she immediately understood what they feared, so she stated at once, “Sir, you misunderstand me. Madam merely has a cold with a high temperature. She is not infected with the epidemic.”

While speaking, she gave a big gold ingot to him in secret.

After receiving the heavy gold ingot, the guard seemingly wanted to refuse but was unwilling to give up something so good, so he was indecisive.

“She only has a cold?”

Since the guard asked such a question, Shi Qingxue knew that he was tempted.

She hurriedly nodded and answered, “She really has a cold. Sir, think about it. Who isn’t afraid of death? If Madam is infected with the epidemic, would we sit with her in the same carriage? We are afraid of being infected.

“Madam got a cold yesterday, and she didn’t feel well this morning. She has a low fever, so we rushed to enter the city to see a doctor.

“It’s nothing serious, and we came back to our hometown to visit relatives. Now we’re almost home, yet we can’t go back. It’s improper anyway.

“Please help us and let us in, Sir.”

After Shi Qingxue advised, the guard was more tempted.

He looked at the carriage several times and asked hesitantly, “Isn’t it the epidemic?”

“No. Please rest assured, Sir.”

Shi Qingxue vowed solemnly. After pausing for a moment, she gave the guard another gold ingot of the same quality and smiled gracefully. “You have guarded the city gate for one day, and you must be tired. This is for you to buy some rice wine. Please accept it.”

She didn’t do it in secret this time, so another guard standing in the distance saw it at once. That guard shouted, “Zhang, haven’t you finished checking? Can they enter the city? Why are you dilly-dallying?”

The guard called Zhang was hesitant, but he was pushed by this voice, so he was unwilling to give the treasure back in the end.

He gritted his teeth and ordered in a hurry, “Fine. Get into the carriage and enter the city now. Don’t stand in the way.”

Shi Qingxue was overjoyed and said thanks twice. Then she grabbed Mo Junyang’s arm and returned to the carriage.

The felloes turned around again, and the carriage moved into the city slowly.

Shi Qingxue came back to the carriage. Before she sat down steadily, she was held by a big arm. She leaned and fell into the familiar and warm arms.

The man’s warm and intimate breath reddened her ears. “You are a concubine bought by me, hum?”

Shi Qingxue talked at random just now and said whatever she thought of, regardless of anything. She had fun alone and didn’t think so much.

Unexpectedly, after it, she was held in somebody’s arms and he got back at her.

She subconsciously reached out her hand to scratch her ears and didn’t dare to look at Mo Junyang’s face. She just played dumb and said, “Ah.” Then she kept silent.

Mo Junyang indulged her just now and didn’t say anything, but when they were alone, he wouldn’t let her go so easily.

“I don’t bother about you for Concubine Gui you mentioned earlier. What do you mean by saying the fiancee and boughten concubine?”

The man’s voice was deep and hoarse, and he showed momentum when he didn’t smile.

Shi Qingxue tried to evade, yet she couldn’t, so she explained away, “You have a fiancee indeed.”

Wasn’t she the fiancee?

She didn’t tell a lie.

“But somebody has said that she is a concubine bought to serve me…” Thinking of Shi Qingxue saying that without hesitation, Mo Junyang still couldn’t react.

Perhaps there was nobody in this world but Shi Qingxue who would try her best to depreciate herself.

Shi Qingxue was exposed and didn’t hide it anymore. She looked at Mo Junyang and stated, taking it for granted, “The wife is no match for a concubine. I think that it makes sense.”

Mo Junyang was speechless.

The man took deep breaths yet couldn’t control himself in the end. He snorted coldly. “Why don’t you say that the concubine is no match for a clandestine lover?”
