Chapter 125 - The Rumor (2/2)

Mo Xiangrui didn’t take his son’s words as a joke. He stayed silent for a short time and then said helplessly, “You consider everything for her but don’t want to marry her. What on earth do you want?”

Mo Junyang raised his brows and laughed showily. “Who said I don’t want to marry her?”

“But didn’t you say that you don’t plan to unite the Shi Family by marriage?” Mo Xiangrui looked astonished.

Mo Junyang didn’t care and shrugged. “Uniting by marriage and my plan to marry her are different.”

Mo Xiangrui paused for a while and his old face showed that he understood. He looked happy and also sad. “If only I had your courage in those years.”

He sighed silently and waved at Mo Junyang tiredly, saying, “Deal with it by yourself. I won’t stop you as long as you don’t lose your life. You should know that your life doesn’t belong to you alone…”

“Yes, Father,”

Mo Junyang responded softly and turned a deaf ear to Mo Xiangrui’s murmur. Then he left quietly.

In the noble circle, the news spread that Mo Junyang loved Shi Qingxue and caused a great clamor. At the same time, all 27 people of three generations in the family of Zhao Ming who committed treason had been burnt to death in the prison except Shi Baojin, on the second day after Mo Junyang visited the prisoner.

All people guessed that Mo Junyang’s secret was exposed, so he killed the whole family to vent his anger, or Zhao Ming knew something he shouldn’t know and had been killed so that the secret wouldn’t be found.

More magically, everybody thought Mo Xiangbin would get furious but he closed the case randomly and didn’t plan to investigate anymore.

So, nobody knew how many people sighed with relief in secret and how many smashed cups, unable to endure it.

After Mo Junyu got the news, he didn’t have any reaction. Although he hoped to see Mo Junjiu in trouble, he knew that the current situation of three sides was the most beneficial to him. If Mo Junjiu was ruined, Mo Junyu’s few followers would definitely be the first to suffer.

So when somebody reported to him that Mo Junyang had hidden the most powerful evidence which could defeat Mo Junjiu, he killed them secretly even without asking more.

But when he faced the expressionless Mo Junyang, he was restless and tried to start a conversation. “What did you say to my father? He didn’t investigate this matter anymore.”

Mo Junyang seemed not to notice Mo Junyu’s uneasiness hidden in his voice and replied, “Nothing, but… He is the emperor, after all.”

Mo Junyu was shocked to hear that.

“You didn’t do anything this time, and he would thank you,” Mo Junyang added unhurriedly.

However, Mo Junyu smiled bitterly. “Thank me? Forget it. We just played a show. Let’s see what will happen in the future!

By the way, didn’t you always hide your feelings for the lady from the Shi Family and fear that you would scare her to run away? Why don’t you fear now?”

Speaking of which, Mo Junyu might be the first one who knew about Mo Junyang’s persistent love for Shi Qingxue. This big shot said as soon as he came to Mo Junyu, “I will help you. Shi Qingxue is mine.”

To be frank, he didn’t realize at that time who Shi Qingxue was. Eight years ago, she was just a kid. Till now, he still doubted that Mo Junyang was a pedophile.

He was nervous and looked at Mo Junyang, who just smiled silently.

But Qu Yuebai said with a smile, “Your Highness, you don’t know that our master fears nothing with somebody at his back.”

“Oh? Why did you say that?” Mo Junyu turned to Qu Yuebai curiously. In front of somebody Mo Junyang trusted, the crown prince didn’t put on airs.

“Of course because Lady Qingxue…” When Qu Yuebai was anxious to gossip and wouldn’t get happy unless he spoke out, Mo Junyang coughed.

He didn’t say anything and just glanced at his subordinate.

Qu Yuebai shut up immediately and made a gesture of killing while shrinking obediently.

Mo Junyu’s curiosity was aroused and mumbled discontentedly, “You need to go on as you have started. You are not a man if you hesitate.”

Somebody who was forced not to be a man wept secretly and still didn’t have the nerve to speak a word.

When they were joking around, a servant sent an invitation from the third prince, who asked Mo Junyang to have a chat in the Xiangyue Pavilion.

After reading the invitation, Qu Yuebai sighed with emotion. “Both sides had such a big fight and were almost at daggers drawn. Prince Junjiu even has the interest to invite our master to a brothel. What does he want?”

Mo Junyu took the invitation and checked it. Then he sneered all of a sudden. “Prime Minister Liang is cautious. Even if he knows that we won’t make a fuss about Zhao Ming’s notebook with records, he would think it’s not safe in our hands. He might want to take it back.”

While speaking, he looked at Mo Junyang. “Are you going there?”

“It would be a waste if we don’t take the benefit given to us,” Mo Junyang answered simply.

Qu Yuebai thought so after pondering for a while but then expressed awkwardly that he had seen that Mo Junyang put it in fire conveniently.

Mo Junyu was anxious after hearing that. “Then how would we blackmail Mo Junjiu?”
