Chapter 244 - Please Check the Evidence against You (2/2)

Shi Baoyou waited a moment and secretly raised her eyes, looking at Mo Shujun with expectancy. Then she asked while trembling, “Grandma, what do the words in the note mean?”

Mo Shujun seemed to be shocked by Shi Baoyou’s words, and there was a horrible and cold light in her old eyes all of a sudden, which scared Shi Baoyou to quiver.

But soon Mo Shujun concealed all her emotions and returned calm. “Leng Yan, guard outside. Don’t allow anybody to enter, including the ones who come to pay respect.”

“Yes!” Before leaving, Leng Yan stared at Shi Baoyou deeply and then walked out slowly.

There were only Mo Shujun and Shi Baoyou left in the room, and it was tenser.

Shi Baoyou couldn’t stand it and moved aside. It seemed that Mo Shujun would be not so horrible if she stayed away.

Mo Shujun noticed the girl’s movements and sneered involuntarily. “Tell me what you want me to do to help you.”

Shi Baoyou was surprised and wondered why Mo Shujun knew that she would ask for help before she spoke.

Mo Shujun didn’t even want to sneer and just snorted. “If your mother is not forced and helpless, she wouldn’t think of this way to threaten me!

“But I remind you first that there is only one chance. Speak after you think it over!”

Shi Baoyou didn’t expect that Mo Shujun didn’t even ask what matter it was but said that she would help her, and she didn’t need to explain so much.

So she stopped thinking and nodded. “No need. I have only one request from beginning to end and hope that you can feel pity for me and let me marry the man I love.”

“The man you love?” Mo Shujun repeated the words playfully and thought of what the servants told her.

She didn’t need Shi Baoyou to continue and helped the girl finish her words with certainty. “Do you want to marry Junhao?”

“Yes, yes. You are so clever, Grandma.” Shi Baoyou didn’t consider asking why Mo Shujun guessed it and just answered obediently.

Mo Shujun sneered and looked Shi Baoyou up and down meaningfully. After a moment, she commented impassively, “Your mother has a good plan!”

Shi Baoyou was clear that Mo Shujun didn’t like Zhou Ruyu, but she still couldn’t help defending her mother. “No! Mother wants to make my wish come true because she knows that His Highness and I love each other. Grandma, please…”

“Love each other?” Mo Shujun couldn’t be fooled easily and went straight to the heart of the matter, pointing out, “Why do I remember that Junhao loves Qingxue?”

Shi Baoyou blushed with shyness because of Mo Shujun’s direct words, but she controlled herself and continued, “His Highness grew up with Qingxue and must have feelings for her, but he has promised me, so…”

Mo Shujun retorted without demur, “If he really promises you, you wouldn’t have to come here to ask me for help today.”

Shi Baoyou was rendered speechless again. She didn’t expect that Mo Shujun was so acute, so she didn’t dare to tell a lie.

She just listened to her grandma obediently and didn’t say anything.

But it made Mo Shujun happy.

After a while, Mo Shujun asked again, “Junhao is a prince and a powerful competitor to fight for the position of the heir to the throne, and you can’t be his wife because you say that you want to. Except those unrealistic, what qualification do you think you have to steady the position?”

Shi Baoyou pondered for a while and took out the jade pendant given by Mo Junhao from her pocket. Then she showed it to Mo Shujun.

She replied more firmly, “His Highness and I really love each other. Grandma, please help us.”

In the beginning, Mo Shujun listened lazily. When she saw the jade pendant in Shi Baoyou’s hand clearly, she trembled and sat up on the bed all of a sudden.

She stared at Shi Baoyou’s hand and asked coldly, “How did you get this stuff?”

“His Highness loves me and gave it to me.” Shi Baoyou just let Mo Shujun see it clearly. It seemed that she was afraid that it would be snatched, and she put it back into her pocket in a hurry.

Mo Shujun was old and experienced. She saw through Shi Baoyou at a glance and asked with a faint smile, “What? Are you afraid that I will snatch something from you?”

“No, I didn’t mean that. Grandma, don’t misunderstand me. I…” Shi Baoyou also realized that her movement was too abrupt, so she scratched her head and wanted to explain.

But Mo Shujun waved her hand and stopped Shi Baoyou, saying indifferently, “Fine. I know what you want. I will do it in due course. Go back now.”

Hearing that Mo Shujun said so much but didn’t make a promise, Shi Baoyou didn’t want to leave and just looked at her grandma with expectancy, asking anxiously, “Grandma, you will help me and make my wish come true, right?”

“I know what to do. You just go now!” Mo Shujun still didn’t give a definite answer.

“But…” Shi Baoyou hesitated. Although she didn’t resist Mo Shujun openly, she stuttered and said in silence obviously that she wouldn’t go away if Mo Shujun didn’t make a promise.

“Child!” Mo Shujun rarely sighed. After all, this was her granddaughter that she appreciated, so she didn’t rebuke her forcefully.

She pondered in secret for a while and then added, “Fine. Don’t worry. I will talk about it with Junhao.”

She would just talk about it, and it was not a definite answer.

But this time, Shi Baoyou didn’t dare to push her. She nodded in a hurry. “Grandma, please help me.”
