Chapter 127 - The Weak Is Innocent (2/2)

“I didn’t mean that! I just…” Shi Baoning looked awkward and was anxious to express that she didn’t disdain the law of the Mo Country, but under Mo Junyang’s cold eyes, she couldn’t explain.

Shi Baoyou nerved herself and said to Qingxue, “I know Baojin is guilty, but I hope you can give me a chance to take the punishment for her so that I can fulfil my wish as her younger sister.”

She loved her sister so much that she wanted to take the punishment for her.

Mo Junyang stared at Shi Baoyou with his sharp eyes. If she asked him in private, he might give her a chance because she was from the Shi Family, but she mentioned it at this crucial time and talked about the sisterhood. Apparently, she indicated with sarcasm that Shi Qingxue forgot the kinship. No matter if Shi Baoyou was on purpose, he wouldn’t let her get away with it.

He winked at Shi Qingxue in secret and silently told her not to reply. At the same time, he stood between Qingxue and Baoyou.

His cold face froze and he didn’t conceal his hatred toward Shi Baoyou, asking aggressively, “Qingxue is just an unmarried woman and has no rank. How can she decide the traitor’s punishment? Lady Baoyou, you asked her to give you a chance several times. Are you kidding?

Or do you intentionally make things difficult for her? Huh?”

“No, I didn’t mean that!” Shi Baoyou explained in a hurry, afraid that Mo Junyang would twist what she had said.

Everyone knew about the fact that Shi Qingxue could influence Mo Junyang’s decision, and he could decide Shi Baojin’s life or death, but as long as he insisted, Shi Qingxue was just a commoner with no power.

Shi Baoyou didn’t want to offend Mo Junyang, so she had to give up her plan to save Shi Baojin and then admitted her mistake. “I was joking with Qingxue. Qingxue, please don’t take it to heart.”

Mo Junyang didn’t want to let Shi Baoyou go and said, “Lady Baoyou, your sister is still in prison and nobody knows whether she is dead or alive, but you still joke about her…”

He paused for a while purposely and then praised, “You are so patient. I admire you!”

Shi Baoyou was unable to speak a word.

Shi Qingxue witnessed that Mo Junyang’s silver tongue defeated Shi Baoyou’s hypocritical excuses and laughed secretly. She felt joyful.

Mo Junyang always showed a poker face, but even she was no match for him while debating, let alone her pure sister and cousin.

But Shi Baoning and Shi Baoyou simply tried to save Shi Baojin and didn’t harbor evil intentions toward her, so Shi Qingxue didn’t want Mo Junyang to fall out with them.

She coughed and glanced at Mo Junyang with approval in secret but said seriously, “Your Excellency, Baoyou was just anxious to save her sister and asked a wrong person for help. She was not thoughtful enough. She isn’t like what you said. Please don’t get her wrong.”

Mo Junyang raised his brows and glimpsed at Shi Baoyou coldly, which made her nervous. Then he responded with no emotion, “I have got you wrong. Lady Baoyou, please forgive me.”

He spoke like a boss and didn’t seem to apologize but to denounce her.

However, Shi Baoyou was scared by Mo Junyang’s twists with cold sweat on her back and didn’t dare to put on airs. She waved her hand constantly and said that she didn’t dare. Then she put the blame on herself as she didn’t make it clear.

Mo Junyang didn’t deny Shi Baoyou’s fault and said arrogantly, “Lady Baoyou, you have joked and apologized. Do you have anything else?”

Shi Baoyou was speechless. For the first time, she saw that a guest took it for granted to ask another guest to leave.

But that was Mo Junyang, so everything became natural.

Shi Baoyou automatically turned to Shi Qingxue, who was blocked by Mo Junyang, and couldn’t see her face. She knew that she couldn’t achieve her purpose today, so she had to say something to show her politeness and then leave in frustration.

Seeing that the trouble was finally gone, Shi Qingxue couldn’t help but smile at Mo Junyang. When she was about to praise his great help, Shi Baoning said, “Your Excellency, did you come to our mansion before making an appointment and enter the Luotong Boudoir directly just to tell us about the law of the Mo Country?”

She said that coldly with displeasure apparently and didn’t hide her resentment well after being retorted.

Shi Baoning was not as weak as Shi Baoyou, and she thought she was Shi Qingxue’s elder sister and was more qualified to stay in the Luotong Boudoir than Mo Junyang, so she was tougher.

Shi Qingxue saw through what was on her sister’s mind at a glance and thought that with Shi Baoning’s fighting ability, she would soon have nothing to say after Mo Junyang said a few words. So Qingxue had to give him a hint first, “She is my sister. Don’t be too harsh on her.”

Mo Junyang took the hint and swallowed what he was about to say. He looked at Shi Baoning helplessly. “I came to see Qingxue.”
