Chapter 128 - Qingxue Has Grown up (1/2)

Shi Baoning frowned and seemed not to understand that Mo Junyang wanted to have a talk with Qingxue alone, asking on behalf of her, “What for?”

Shi Qingxue was surprised. “… Sister, you…”

She didn’t want Mo Junyang to have a conflict with Shi Baoning, but Shi Baoning was aggressive all the time, and that man was not good-tempered.

As expected, the rare gentleness on Mo Junyang’s face disappeared, and he looked at Shi Qingxue, saying casually, “I am a little hungry. Qingxue, do you have any food here?”

“Yes, yes. I am going to bring some food for you. Please have a seat,” Shi Qingxue answered instantly and smiled at Shi Baoning before running out of the room.

It was not that she was too timid to face that. Under the circumstances, if she were there, she would suffer most. Maybe after she went away, the problem would be solved easily?

Shi Baoning thought Shi Qingxue fled and would leave everything in the Luotong Boudoir to her. She was satisfied with her younger sister’s obedience and had more confidence to confront Mo Junyang. “Your Excellency, just say what you want to.”

Mo Junyang looked coldly and replied with disdain, “Infanta, I have nothing to say to you.”

“Since you have nothing to say, please go.” Perhaps Shi Baoning hadn’t realized how horrible the man in front of her was, and she directly told him to leave.

It seemed that she could make decisions for Shi Qingxue.

Mo Junyang certainly wouldn’t leave and looked at Shi Baoning expressionlessly for a while. Suddenly he smiled and got courteous. “Since you said that, I really have something to tell you, Infanta.”

Shi Baoning was impatient. “What’s the matter?”

Mo Junyang glanced at Dong Shuang who was guarding at the door obediently and concentrated on their conversation. Then he said leisurely, “For example, Qingxue’s right hand was injured when you were in the Peace Temple, or Shi Baojin’s maid Xiao Zhu worked for you…”

“I don’t know what you are talking about!” The panic on Shi Baoning’s face disappeared soon and she forced herself to calm down, but her voice was trembling inevitably, which made Dong Shuang look at her in surprise.

Shi Baoning was depressed and rebuked Mo Junyang in a harsh voice, “Don’t sling mud at me and ruin my relationship with my sister. I tell you. You won’t succeed. I am Qingxue’s sister. She trusts me and wouldn’t believe your nonsense.”

At last, she couldn’t help but feel complacent. Meanwhile she paid attention to the door, expecting that Mo Junyang spoke to her with harsh words and Qingxue walked in…

Would Mo Junyang quarrel with Shi Baoning?

Of course he wouldn’t, and he disdained to do that.

With his lips curling up, he leered at Shi Baoning. Only the coldness in his eyes was enough to make the girl who was complacent on the surface but felt guilty inside lose her imposing manner, with a chill down her spine.

Then she heard him say slowly, “I always disdain to say more. I am just a doer. Shi Baojin is a good example, right? Infanta, haven’t you seen it clearly?”

Mo Junyang really dared to take action against her.

Shi Baoning was scared by this thought and trembled. She wanted to retort Mo Junyang, but there seemed to be something in her throat, and she couldn’t make a voice. And she got more and more frightened.

“Your Excellency, what do you mean? Did you come to our mansion to threaten my daughter?” Dong Hui’s cold and dignified voice cut in all of a sudden and interrupted Shi Baoning’s horrible imagination.

Shi Baoning heaved a sigh of relief and walked quickly to Dong Hui, calling “Mother” to ask for help.

Dong Hui didn’t know the beginning and the end of the matter. Only Shi Baoning’s shout with grievance made her sad. She hugged her daughter with love and looked at Mo Junyang more unkindly.

Hearing that Mo Junyang came to the mansion alone and broke into the Luotong Boudoir without asking for permission, Dong Hui was angry with this impolite man. Even though he had helped Shi Junhe on the Qingluo Mountain, she wouldn’t forgive him. She couldn’t allow him to ruin her loved daughter’s fame. As a result, she rushed here and found Mo Junyang bullying her other daughter. How could she let him get away with it?

Mo Junyang was silent and became humble after a while. He apologized calmly, “I have said something improper. If I make you and Infanta unhappy, please forgive me, Madam.”

If King Rui or anyone who was familiar with Mo Junyang were here, he would cover his eyes and ears and say that this Mo Junyang was an impostor. Otherwise, how would that Mo Junyang who was above everybody and didn’t even take the emperor seriously apologize to someone sincerely?

Fine, it was not evident if he was sincere, but he had never been so humble.

But Dong Hui didn’t let it pass and turned away, saying coldly, “I am lowly and don’t deserve your apology, Your Excellency. If you have nothing to say, please go back home.”
