Chapter 114 - No One Is Innocent (1/2)

Shi Baoning found more mysteries. She stared at Shi Qingxue’s neck, which was covered by the collar. But when she lowered her head, some red marks were exposed. Even though Shi Baoning didn’t have experience, she knew what had happened.

Shi Qingxue seemed not to notice Shi Baoning’s changed expression and explained with a smile, “The wine made my clothes wet, so I got changed and washed myself.”

It could truly explain why she got changed, but it couldn’t conceal the red marks on her neck.

Shi Qingxue didn’t plan to give an explanation and forcefully told Jing Yi to send Shi Baoning into the carriage.

Mo Junyu stood behind and watched everything. He couldn’t help laughing and sighed with emotion to Mo Junyang. “I think your girlfriend is not easy to handle. She is skillful in lying.”

If he didn’t know the truth, he might have been cheated by Shi Qingxue’s calmness.

Mo Junyang cast a sidelong glance at him and said casually, “She did get changed and have a wash after getting her clothes dirty. When did she lie?”

Mo Junyu was speechless.

Fine. He knew that the inward Mo Junyang would never allow him to speak ill of Shi Qingxue, but he just couldn’t control himself.

Mo Junyu cursed himself in secret for his long tongue and then walked to Shi Qingxue decently, reaching out his hand to invite her. “Let’s have a talk in another place.”

Shi Qingxue looked at Mo Junyang subconsciously, who didn’t have any reactions. She had to nod and follow Mo Junyu.

The three went into a private room in a tea house. After serving tea, the waiter considerately closed the door for them when leaving.

“Your Highness, what do you want to tell me?” Shi Qingxue asked anxiously.

Actually, if Mo Junyu didn’t say that he had something important to tell her, she wouldn’t meet him at this crucial time.

Mo Junyu didn’t keep her in suspense but went straight to the point. “Although General Shi won the battle on the Qingluo Mountain, in fact, they were in danger and had a lot of hidden troubles. I think I don’t need to tell you about it.”

Shi Qingxue responded, “So what? It must have nothing to do with you. Why would you care so much about this matter?”

Mo Junyu goggled and couldn’t speak a word.

She blamed him for meddling?

He didn’t want to talk with Shi Qingxue anymore. This couple were good at ending a conversation and were a perfect match. He would live ten years less if he talked with them.

Mo Junyu was resentful, but Mo Junyang glanced at him, so he concealed his emotion and said seriously, “We don’t talk about if it has something to do with me, but you must want to figure it out now, right?”

“Do you know what I want to figure out?”

Mo Junyu took a sip of tea leisurely. “Mo Junjiu.”

Shi Qingxue looked serious and stared at him. “Then what can you tell me?”

“Nothing.”

Shi Qingxue was unable to reply.

Mo Junyu was glared and smiled with satisfaction, saying slowly, “Indeed I have nothing to tell you, but if you want to know the truth, maybe you can ask your elder brother, Wenren Chi.”

“What do you mean?” Shi Qingxue’s expression went cold.

Mo Junyu shrugged indifferently. “That’s what I can remind you. I believe that with your capability, it’s not difficult to find the truth.”

Moreover, Wenren Chi still loved her, and if she investigated him, there must be many questionable points.

Shi Qingxue didn’t understand Mo Junyu’s hidden meaning, but she knew that no pains, no gains. She didn’t ask more but expressed her gratitude. “Your Highness, thanks for your kindness and information, and today…”

Mo Junyu said modestly, “I did nothing today and don’t dare to claim credit.”

“That’s not true. You two really helped me a lot.” Shi Qingxue showed a sincere smile.

Without their disturbance today, Qin Yanyan would have dealt with the issue in the Purity Garden and might have made a fuss about her clothes.

Mo Junyu also smiled. “Although Lady Qin pretended to be sick in the end to cover up the scandal, after this farce, the Qin Family’s reputation in the noble circle would be…”

As for the reputation, something that happened might have never happened, but once it was known, it couldn’t be like nothing.

“Speaking of which, Junyang, you are too brutal! Even if Lady Qin’s plan was bad, Lady Luoluo is innocent. You shouldn’t hurt a naïve young girl to get even with Lady Qin!” Mo Junyu sighed with emotion but there was ridicule in his eyes. He didn’t feel sorry for Qin Luoluo and just made fun of her.

“Innocent?” Even Mo Junyang’s smile was cold. His low voice was like the judgment in hell. “She is not innocent at all.”

Mo Junyu was stunned and asked in confusion, “What did she do to offend you?”

Mo Junyang and Qin Luoluo didn’t seem to have any connections, but the expression on his face obviously showed that it was wrong, and his hatred made Mo Junyu tremble with fear.

Mo Junyang didn’t intend to explain and turned his head to look out of the window, saying with no emotion, “It’s late now. You should go back to the palace, Your Highness.”

“Why are you still used to driving people away when you have the slightest disagreement?” Mo Junyu mumbled discontentedly, but Mo Junyang didn’t even look at him.

Mo Junyu turned to Shi Qingxue and smiled slyly. “Nobody would be willing to marry a man with his character in the future! Do you think so?”

He said that quite firmly as if he made a prediction.

But Shi Qingxue didn’t have any sympathetic response. Facing Mo Junyang’s half smile, she felt bitter. “No. How is it possible? There must be somebody who wants to marry him. I promise.”
