Chapter 225 - The Shi Family Won’t Have This Member (1/2)
Dong Hui was shocked and sprang from her seat instantly. She goggled at Mammy Zheng in astonishment. “For what? What did I do to them?”
Anxiety could hardly be concealed in her angry tone.
After all, Dong Hui feared Mo Shujun. Hearing that Princess Royal was coming to denounce her, she was frightened.
Shi Qingxue hurriedly stepped forward and helped her mother return to her seat, comforting her softly, “Mother, don’t worry. We still don’t know what happened. If we are anxious, others would think that we are guilty.”
“Right. I can’t be anxious.” Dong Hui came to her senses and nodded repeatedly.
But she was still worried, so she told Mammy Zheng next to her, “Don’t stand here. Hurry up and go to find my husband. Bring him back.”
Mammy Zheng came back to earth soon after Dong Hui roared and didn’t dare to delay. Then she went out in a hurry.
“Where are you going?”
Mo Shujun’s cold voice came from the gate of the East House.
Mo Shujun led a group of people to block the gate of the East House. Mammy Zheng wanted to fight her way out to send a message, but before she approached the gate, she was stopped.
Mo Shujun didn’t even plan to ask Dong Hui but told somebody to capture Mammy Zheng.
Even though she was arbitrary as always, she was too rude and forceful this time.
Was she determined to fall out with Dong Hui, or did she have something secure to rely on so she feared nothing…
Shi Qingxue pondered for a while in secret and stopped Dong Hui from getting angry. Then she saluted the people who came to cause trouble and smiled. “Grandma, good day.”
Mo Shujun was furious and unwilling to make any perfunctory remarks. She snorted coldly and ignored Qingxue.
Shi Qingxue wasn’t angry. When they were at daggers drawn, if she was uncalm, she would easily give others a chance to find fault with her.
She wouldn’t be so stupid as to give them a chance to comment on her.
“Grandma, why did you bring my aunts to visit the East House all of a sudden?”
She didn’t ask Mo Shujun why she detained Mammy Zheng forcefully, so she didn’t give Mo Shujun a chance to rebuke her.
Mo Shujun couldn’t find an excuse to explode, and some of her fury disappeared.
She just looked at Dong Hui coldly and reproached, “See what you have done. You just humiliate our family! Why did I choose such a wife for Junhe? You are immoral and ruin the family’s fame!”
Each of her words was hurtful and depreciated Dong Hui. And she even added insult to injury.
Dong Hui was provoked by this denouncement and trembled, unable to stand steadily. She almost went faint.
Shi Qingxue quickly supported Dong Hui and shouted in anxiety, “Mother, are you okay?”
Dong Hui turned pale and shook her head.
“No. We should call for a doctor and let him check on you.” Shi Qingxue was worried and turned her head, telling Xia Mang to ask Doctor Qin to come.
Before Xia Mang walked out of the East House, she was stopped by the servants and forbidden to go out.
Shi Qingxue finally frowned but restrained her anger. She asked Mo Shujun distantly, “Grandma, what do you mean? Mother is pregnant, and I want to ask a doctor to come to examine her. Isn’t it okay?”
Zhou Ruyu pretended to be casual and said coldly, “Who knows if the baby in her womb is a descendent of our family? If not, Brother was cheated and needs to raise her son!”
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Shi Qingxue rebuked without mercy.
Facing Zhou Ruyu, Shi Qingxue was not afraid that others would say that she had no respect for the elders.
She stared at Zhou Ruyu coldly and warned her, “If you dare to say something improper, I will show no mercy. Don’t blame me.”
As Zhou Ruyu was stared at by Shi Qingxue’s cold eyes, she was frustrated like a deflated balloon.
But she was reluctant and turned to Mo Shujun, saying with a grievance, “Mother, look. I know that I am her aunt, but I am in a low position in this family. I don’t even have prestige in front of the younger generation. I have to bear it after she yelled at me…”
Mo Shujun was old and experienced and knew what Zhou Ruyu wanted to do as soon as the latter started speaking, but she wasn’t in the mood to talk with Zhou Ruyu, and she stated coldly, “Since you bear it, stop talking.”
Zhou Ruyu was speechless.
Mo Shujun didn’t care how depressed Zhou Ruyu was and then turned to Dong Hui again.
She stared at Dong Hui for quite a while and then affirmed, “You know what you have done. I am not in the mood to talk with you. Today you just go back to the Dong family, and I will tell somebody to send the divorce paper in two days. From now on, you have nothing to do with Duke Shi’s mansion. I don’t want to ask if the bastard in your womb is Junhe’s baby, and the Shi family won’t have this member.”
At this moment, even Dong Hui was terrified, let alone Shi Qingxue who was in shock and couldn’t speak a word.
Dong Hui always thought that Mo Shujun hated her so much because she couldn’t give birth to a son for Shi Junhe.
Every doctor who had examined her and even Shen Luo had said that the baby in her womb might be a son. She almost thought that she would see daylight, but unexpectedly, Mo Shujun didn’t even care about her grandson.
Dong Hui felt dizzy and almost went into a coma.
“Mother!” Shi Qingxue screamed and hurriedly supported Dong Hui. Then she told a maid to pat Dong Hui’s chest to comfort her.
