Chapter 129 - Break the Appointment (1/2)

After Dong Hui had left for a long time, Shi Qingxue finally came back to her senses and her feelings were beyond expression.

She hadn’t thought that Dong Hui would make a blind date for her.

A blind date!

She had never had such an experience in the previous life and this life. It was absurd like a dream.

And what happened about that Young Master Leng? She had never heard about this man in the previous life. She didn’t know what was wrong with Dong Hui, who even considered making a match for two irrelevant people. It was ridiculous.

“Even if you want to get me married, it would be Mo Junyang. Where is Leng Qinghan from?” Shi Qingxue murmured and soon realized what she had said. Her face blushed automatically, and her eyes looked around randomly with guilt. After confirming that nobody heard her words, she was relieved.

In fact, if there were no so many things that happened between her and Mo Junyang, if she didn’t promise to him, she could obediently marry somebody her parents liked.

But there was no if for everything, and she had fully trusted Mo Junyang and was willing to develop her relationship with him naturally. However, Dong Hui got involved, so Qingxue almost prayed to God.

Xia Mang chose some clothes and gave them to her, asking in a low voice, “My Lady, which will you wear tomorrow?”

Shi Qingxue rolled her eyes. “Do you want me to go to the blind date, too?”

Xia Mang lowered her head and answered respectfully, “It’s Madam’s order. You’d better listen to her. If you make her sad, you would be unhappy.”

“Alas!” That was what Shi Qingxue was worried about, so she didn’t decisively refuse the dinner tomorrow.

She was not obedient to her parents in the previous life. Since she had a chance to be reborn, she swore to protect her family and respect her parents and would never let them worry about her, so she didn’t want to displease Dong Hui because of this matter.

Seeing that her lady was so depressed, Xia Mang reminded tentatively, “It seems that Madam doesn’t like His Excellency.”

Shi Qingxue was stunned and turned to Xia Mang. “Do you think so, too? I thought I guessed wrong. But why?”

She could forget what happened in the past. If Mo Junyang hadn’t helped them in the battle on the Qingluo Mountain, the Shi Army wouldn’t have won but would have suffered a lot or even have been destroyed. Mo Junyang didn’t claim his contribution and attributed the success to Shi Junhe.

In this case, Mo Junyang must have left a good impression on her parents, although she knew that he did it on purpose. Even if Dong Hui didn’t feel grateful, she shouldn’t hate Mo Junyang.

Xia Mang guessed, “Maybe Lady Baojin’s case made Madam scruple?”

After all, Mo Junyang was always silent and looked harmless, but when he did something, he destroyed a whole family and made them miserable. It would make others imagine something bad and worry that they would offend him someday and get themselves in trouble. After all, not everybody trusted Mo Junyang so much as Shi Qingxue.

But Shi Qingxue didn’t think so and snorted crossly. “Shi Baojin asked for it. I told her not to bother me, but she still dared to play dirty tricks on me, and she should have thought that I would get back at her.”

Xia Mang stayed silent for a while and then couldn’t help but remind softly, “My Lady, it’s not you but His Excellency who has got back at her.”

“…Uhh.” Shi Qingxue’s expression got stiffened, and she glared at Xia Mang shily.

Xia Mang pretended not to see it and waved the clothes in front of Shi Qingxue, saying seriously, “My Lady, please pick some clothes for tomorrow. Otherwise, you can’t explain to Madam.”

“Huh, you just threaten me with my mother,” Shi Qingxue complained like joking and didn’t want to choose the clothes.

Xia Mang had to advise in another way, “You just need to meet him. My Lady, you can take it as dining outside. Don’t you like the food in the Juxian Restaurant?”

Shi Qingxue sighed helplessly. “I have no choice.”

She couldn’t disobey Dong Hui to make her angry, so she had to suffer a grievance.

The next day, Shi Qingxue had planned to malinger and avoid the date, but Dong Hui seemed to have expected it and brought Doctor Qin early in the morning, declaring that if she was feeling unwell, he could check on her and give some medicine.

Shi Qingxue’s last hope was in vain and she had to go out with Dong Hui unwillingly.

On the way, Dong Hui chattered inevitably, “I have made an appointment of the exact time with her, but you are sluggish. Now we are late. If they blame us, what should we do?”

Shi Qingxue yawned lazily and found an excuse. “Just let them blame us. Women need to dress up before coming out, and it’s natural to be late. Or do you want me to see them without makeup, Mother? I don’t mind…”

Dong Hui didn’t reply. She knew that if she agreed with Shi Qingxue, this girl would definitely go out without makeup next time.

“Didn’t I tell you to get up earlier today? If you did, you would have time to make up.” Dong Hui glared at Xia Mang secretly and put the blame on her. It must be because this maid didn’t tell her lady to get up on time.
