Chapter 73 - Returning Home and Visiting Families (1/2)

Zhou Ruyu was talking vigorously, but was suddenly asked to leave by Shi Qingxue so rudely, so she also got angry, “Shi Qingxue, what do you mean? I put down my pride to sue for peace, just in order to make you do me a small favor and praise our Baojin a little in front of Mo Junyang. Still, you are not willing to help us. But you also show me your bad attitude. It seems that you really know nothing about etiquette!”

Shi Qingxue had no expression on her face, and spent her last patience waiting for Zhou Ruyu to finish her speech. Then she turned to Xia Mang, “Send her out.”

Zhou Ruyu, “…”

Zhou Ruyu didn’t expect Shi Qingxue to be so ruthless. She glared at her, raised her hand and pointed at her for a long but couldn’t say a word.

Xia Mang also didn’t expect that Shi Qingxue really drove her away without hesitation, but when she went back to her consciousness, she executed her master’s order immediately.

Shi Qingxue drove her away, but was still full of anger, and it couldn’t vanish. She was so mad that she wanted to beat someone!

“What are you mad at?”

Mo Junyang’s cold voice sounded from behind, startling Shi Qingxue.

She turned around, staring at the man in astonishment, who suddenly appeared in her boudoir, she asked him in a cold voice, “When did you get here?”

Mo Junyang didn’t answer, but asked again, “What are you mad at?”

Shi Qingxue was almost speechless about Mo Junyang’s ability to skew the question, but when confronting the man’s persistence, she could only answer honestly, “I don’t like it when she describes our relationship in that way, as if you were my subordinate or something more degrading. You are not!”

Mo Junyang raised the corners of his mouth and smiled slowly, “Then what am I? What is it between us?”

It was the first time that they had faced the huge problem in front of them.

Shi Qingxue was speechless.

The time and place were not right. She shouldn’t discuss this topic with Mo Junyang here.

She wanted to escape again, but Mo Junyang pushed her to the front, so she could not avoid it any more.

Shi Qingxue lowered her head, took a deep breath, and seemed to be making a big decision.

A few minutes later, she raised her head again. Her look became peaceful again, and then she said in a calm but firm tone, “Mo Junyang, we are not suitable.”

Those were just simple words, but nothing could be more straightforward than them or make him more aware of Shi Qingxue’s meaning.

Mo Junyang looked at Shi Qingxue quietly. He knew that she had tried her best to give him an answer that wouldn’t make him misunderstand, even though he didn’t like it.

He didn’t speak. He had nothing to say at this time.

Shi Qingxue unilaterally denied their possibility, but he did not accept it.

The two were once again in a stalemate. Even though both of them felt embarrassed, they had nothing to say.

Until…

“Sixth Lady, Second Lady is here and asks to see you.” Xia Mang lightly knocked on the door and said in a low voice at the door, as if she were afraid to disturb the conversation between the two in the room.

Shi Qingxue was hoping that someone could disturb them, so she couldn’t wait to reply, “I see. I will go to the living room right away.”

After that, she looked at Mo Junyang with embarrassment. He suddenly appeared in her boudoir. How should she explain it to Shi Baojing?

Mo Junyang seemed to have guessed the concern in her heart and immediately said, “I came in after telling the subordinate.”

In other words, the appearance of Mo Junyang was reasonable and aboveboard.

Shi Qingxue was relieved. She bit her lips, and hesitantly asked, “Are you going back?”

Mo Junyang shook his head, and said, “I am going with you. Speaking of it, I haven’t seen Baojing for a long time.”

Shi Qingxue was stunned. Until Shi Baojing and Mo Junyang chatted for a while, she suddenly remembered some things in her previous life…

Mo Junyang might have some different feelings for Shi Qingxue, but when he was dealing with his political enemies, he was not sympathetic at all, including the Shi Family. After Mo Junyang ascended the throne, he almost killed the whole Shi Family, including Shi Baochun, who had been married and never opposed him.

But it was almost.

Mo Junyang left Shi Baojing alive, without any reasons. Like a lunatic, he did whatever he wanted.

Shi Qingxue also regarded Mo Junyang as a lunatic at first, but a lunatic wouldn’t have such precise strategies.

In other words, even if Mo Junyang was totally a lunatic, he did things for a reason. The problem was whether others could find out that reason or not.

Shi Qingxue had a feeling at this moment that she seemed to have known a secret. She watched Shi Baojing and Mo Junyang talking with her eyes twinkling.

Their identifications and status were quite different, but Shi Baojing was calm and Mo Junyang was gentle, which made the conversation between them easy and warm.

Shi Qingxue felt a little surprised. Could two people, who had never met each other before, really talk happily in such a short time?

She didn’t believe this was a kind of coincidence. She looked at Shi Baojing but didn’t see the difference. She glanced at Mo Junyang, but failed to find a clue.

But she clearly knew that the person who caused this situation was Mo Junyang.

There was no evidence. She didn’t need the evidence.

Shi Qingxue calmly watched the two talking, and felt confused in her heart, until Shi Baoning turned her eyes to her and asked softly, “Qingxue, is that okay?”
