Chapter 35 - Just Because I Was Powerless (1/2)

Xia Mang hurriedly dealt with everything, and then came to report to Shi Qingxue, “Chun Yu had been whipped thirty times, and had been applied medical ointment and sent away from the house. Jing Yu who had been raised to the servant in study room moved to live in the same room with Dong Shuang. A well-behaved and experienced third-class servant Jing Zhi was raised to fill the blank position.”

After Shi Qingxue heard all of it, she nodded and praised, “You have always been mature and calm. I believe you can do it well.”

Xia Mang hesitated for a moment, and asked at last, “As for that thing, I also have told a reliable person to do it. But there is one thing I don’t understand. Sixth Lady is our master, and you can just do whatever you want. Why do you need to…”

She didn’t say the following words, but Shi Qingxue knew what she meant, and then smiled reluctantly, “Do you want to ask why I am so tortuous?”

Xia Mang nodded and said confusedly, “Take Chun Yu as an example. You have figured out her maliciousness early, and in this way you redeem all the stolen things once she sells them. In this case, why do you tolerate and not reveal her? Why don’t you kick this scourge out earlier?”

If this was done early, things wouldn’t have been in such a great mess, and Dong Shuang wouldn’t have suffered such pain.

But right after she said, Xia Mang came up with a thought, and she blurted out, “Is Sixth Lady trying to make trouble bigger?”

“Xia Mang, you understand me.” Shi Qingxue nodded with joy.

“But why?”

Shi Qingxue stood in front of the window, raised her hands in front of her eyes, and watched the sunlight penetrate the fingers and shine on her face. Then she sighed softly, “Mang, I don’t have power in my hands!”

Whether she tolerated at this moment, or pretended to be silly and ignorant before, it was to make everyone think that Shi Qingxue was innocent and defenseless as she used to be.

Only in this way would no one guard against her, so that she could find a way to live in the Shi Family which was full of malice.

“In the Shi Family, I seem to be Sixth Lady who is the most favored, but I am just the Sixth Lady alone. I don’t have power or force. If grandmother doesn’t like me one day, what is left with me?”

What’s more, she still hadn’t figured out why Mo Shujun loved her so much yet, and how could she gamble everything on it alone?

Xia Mang was surprised and confused on her face, and she subconsciously wanted to deny it, but she couldn’t find a reason for refutation no matter how hard she thought. In the end, she could only say, “Sixth Lady, you don’t have to be an enemy of the Shi Family! You are so smart, and you definitely won’t…”

But Shi Qingxue sneered, “Smart? You think I’m smart, but I just have to give in because I don’t have the power!”

If her grandpa was still alive, why did she need to be as careful as she was today?

She knew well about the evil intentions of Third Master’s Family, but due to Mo Shujun’s love for them, she couldn’t say anything.

Knowing exactly how malicious Mo Shujun was against Dong Hui, she couldn’t just ask about it, and she still needed to be tortuous between them two.

It was all because she had no power!

Xia Mang paused. Suddenly she shook her head and said excitedly, “No, you are wrong.”

Shi Qingxue looked at Xia Mang in surprise, seeing that her eyes turned red because of her anxious, “How is your intelligence not a power? Is only strength called power? Then what’s the difference with the thoughtless courage?”

This time even Shi Qingxue was shocked.

She was astonished not because Xia Mang offended her master, it was surprised that Xia Mang’s words made her suddenly enlightened.

Yes!

She was a delicate little girl. What about lack of strength in her hands? As long as she seized the opportunity and made good use of her ingenuity, one day she could finally achieve her goals.

“I was being silly just now. Mang, thank you!” Shi Qingxue showed a slight smile and sincerely thanked her.

Xia Mang scratched her head in embarrassment and said in a low voice, “You’re welcome. By the way, did you see Qiu Lu’s…”

She wanted to ask if Qingxue had found Qiu Lu’s malicious intentions, but she was afraid that all this was just her imagination.

Shi Qingxue smiled slyly at her, “You found it too!”

It really wasn’t her illusion.

Suddenly, two traitors appeared in Luotong Boudoir, and Xia Mang became anxious, “What should we do? Is Qiu Lu just envious? Or is she directed by others?”

“There is a saying that you will know whether it’s a mule of a horse once you pull it out! Don’t worry about it. We shall wait and see!”

Shi Qingxue obviously took less notice of it than Xia Mang, especially after she was enlightened just now, she became more energetic.

Her confidence reassured Xia Mang, who was still a little nervous.

“Sixth Lady, First Madam is here to see you.” Jing Yu lightly knocked on the door and said softly outsides.

Shi Qingxue thought that Dong Hui came to ask about Chun Yu and quickly responded, “I’ll be there right away.”

But when she went out, she found out that Dong Hui was not asking her about this. Dong Hui asked, “Qingxue, there are so many things today. I still haven’t asked why you come back with Mo Junyang?”

Shi Qingxue only told roughly the matter that Mo Yuzhen wanted to investigate the character of her husband, but didn’t explain the relationship between Mo Junyang and Xiangyue.

Dong Hui didn’t ask about the details, but frowned and said in a low voice, “Third Princess is being so willful. What if anything bad happened?”

This time, she should really be grateful to King Rui’s eldest son!

Shi Qingxue pursed her lips. Although she knew that Mo Junyang was pretending to be sick, she couldn’t help asking, “Is Mo Junyang better now?”

Dong Hui shook her head, looking serious, “Not so good. Dr. Shen and the royal doctor are treating him together. They tell a long list of symptoms, but I don’t understand after listening for a long time. In short, his illness is serious. He was awake for a while and then passed out again.”

Shi Qingxue felt a little astonished and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

If Mo Junyang was really just pretending to be ill, then he should be okay at this time. Why was even the royal doctor here?

“Mother, I want to see Mo… Mo Junyang. Is that okay?” Shi Qingxue was worried, but she was afraid that Dong Hui wouldn’t allow it because they had to avoid suspicion.
