Chapter 140 - The Irreconcilable Hatred (1/2)

Mo Xiangbin asked instantly, “What happened? Yiyi, tell us in detail.”

“Just now, the servants from the fourth prince’s mansion came to tell me that not long ago, several masked assassins broke into the mansion suddenly and killed more than ten guards, and then Yanyan was knocked out and taken away.”

Liu Yiyi raised her head, with uncontrollable worry and panic on her delicate face.

Mo Junhao exploded at once. “Yanyan is always obedient and never makes trouble. Why would somebody harm her?”

He started to guess and seemed to think of something, and his handsome face twisted. But because Mo Xiangbin was present, he had to restrain his anger and then said coldly, “In the capital city and under the emperor’s eyes, somebody dared to break into the mansion you gave to me in broad daylight and take away my wife. They just provoke and threaten me and even despise God’s power. You can’t be tolerant to such evildoers.”

Liu Yiyi was also worried and murmured, “Yanyan is carrying Junhao’s baby, and that is your first grandson. I don’t know what those assassins want to do. They don’t even let go of a pregnant woman. They are too vicious.”

The mother and the son echoed each other with affection and reason, as if the assassins who had taken Qin Yanyan away were scoundrels guilty beyond forgiveness.

However, all the three present knew who had sent the assassins.

Mo Xiangbin returned to his seat and the expression on his face returned calm. He stared at the two in front of him and spoke casually till his stare made them feel guilty. “Junhao, hope you can think over what I told you after you go back. Try to do your best.

I am tired. You may leave now.”

He didn’t talk about what happened to Qin Yanyan.

Mo Junhao couldn’t believe it and opened his mouth, trying to say something, but Liu Yiyi grabbed her son’s arm in advance and shook her head secretly. Then they said goodbye to the emperor and left.

“Mother, what are you doing?” Mo Junhao was dragged by Liu Yiyi out of the study and couldn’t help but ask in rage after walking a few steps.

Liu Yiyi still walked ahead expressionlessly. Till they went back to her residence, she loosened her grip and said crossly, “Didn’t you see your father’s face? If you had said more, he wouldn’t have simply let us leave!”

Mo Junhao also found that Mo Xiangbin’s attitude was unusual, but he was reluctant.

“Are we going to let it pass? Mo Junyang harmed my right-hand man and then sent people to take my wife away. Isn’t it obvious that he wants to embarrass me?”

Liu Yiyi rolled her eyes at him and said angrily, “I don’t want to talk about the Qin Family. As for what happened to Qin Yanyan, can it make you so mad?”

She liked nothing about Qin Yanyan except the baby in her womb, and that was all. Her son was young and didn’t need to worry about children. If Qin Yanyan were to give birth to a boy and then get a higher position because of her son, she might make more trouble.

“He snatched my wife and it’s irreconcilable hatred. If I can endure it, wouldn’t I be a coward?” Mo Junhao gritted his teeth, as if he would rush to King Rui’s mansion to fight with Mo Junyang next second.

Liu Yiyi heard that and found something wrong, asking vigilantly, “Snatch your wife? You know better than me why Mo Junyang sent people to take away Qin Yanyan. How could you say that he snatched your wife?”

Or the “wife” meant…

Mo Junhao’s eyes turned cold and he denied in a hurry, “I didn’t mean that.”

Liu Yiyi raised her brows. “I didn’t say anything. Why did you deny it?”

“I!” Embarrassment flashed on Mo Junhao’s face, but he soon calmed down and said in a deep voice, “Anyway, Mo Junyang humiliated me several times. I can’t let him go.”

“I didn’t tell you to let him go, but the current situation is unusual. I have no idea what secret about your father Mo Junyang has known, and this time he protected that man so much. If we act contrary to him, wouldn’t we go against your father?”

Liu Yiyi comforted gently in a deep voice, “Junhao, we can’t do anything stupid.”

Mo Junhao frowned with displeasure and asked doubtfully, “Mo Junyang has something on Father? How is it possible?”

“You are still young and don’t know about many things.” Liu Yiyi sneered, with confidence on her face. She had been Mo Xiangbin’s favored concubine for more than twenty years and thought that she knew his every move. And she didn’t want to hide anything from her son, so she replied, “When your father was still the crown prince, he didn’t have a good relationship with the third prince of the time, Mo Xiangrui. Later, he ascended the throne. Although he made Mo Xiangrui a king, he drove him away to the poor area in the north and kept King Rui’s wife as a hostage.

Then he summoned him back to the capital city for some reason, but they didn’t wipe out their hatred. They fight each other till now and the gratitude and enmity are difficult to tell. How could an emperor treat his enemy’s son well? Now he doesn’t kill Mo Junyang because…”

“It must be because he can’t.” Mo Junhao’s eyes lit up and he was suddenly enlightened.

“Right!” Liu Yiyi nodded and said with a smile, “So His Majesty wouldn’t indulge Mo Junyang for long!”

As an emperor, how could Mo Xiangbin tolerate somebody who threatened him with his secret? Especially it was his enemy’s son. When Mo Xiangbin got rid of the threat, it was the day Mo Junyang died.

In fact, Mo Junhao thought more than that.

Although he couldn’t take revenge on Mo Junyang openly, he could tell somebody else to do that. Moreover, he could make use of the Shi Family.

Mo Junhao smiled slyly at last.

Liu Yiyi didn’t expect that her son was planning a big show. Seeing that he was happy, she also laughed. “Just wait to watch a play.”

The one who had the last laugh was the true winner.

On the fourth day after Shi Qingxue was poisoned, the prime minister Qin Shirong was put in prison for offences, and all his family with servants, 132 people in total were locked up in the Supreme Court’s prison.

In the prison, Qin Yanyan’s hands were spread and she was tied on a cross. Her head was covered with a black bag and unclear voices came from her mouth, but nobody paid attention to her.
