Chapter 251 - I Will Avenge You (1/2)
Shi Qingxue had been exposed by Shi Junhe for twice, and she was too powerless to ask him how he found it.
She had to crane her neck and tried to struggle, insisting. “I told the truth. Mother really misses you. If you don’t believe me, you can go back to ask her.”
Shi Junhe didn’t care when Shi Qingxue prodded him into action. “How can I be unclear about your mother’s character? Even if she really misses me, she wouldn’t tell you her feelings. Don’t fool me.”
He sat in the chair and remained unmoved.
“Father!” Shi Qingxue smiled flatteringly again and blinked innocently.
Generally, once she acted like this, showing her master stroke to him, even if Shi Junhe was reluctant to admit defeats, he would make her wish come true.
However, this time, Shi Junhe looked impassive and even waved at her impatiently, as if driving away flies. “Fine. There’s nothing that you can do here. Just go out to have fun by yourself. Didn’t His Excellency always ask you to ride a horse on the training ground?
“You like to ride a horse most at ordinary times. Why don’t you go to the training ground but idle about at home?”
She was greeted with a strong feeling that he disliked her, and even her master stroke was ineffective.
Shi Qingxue thought that it was like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky, and she was dumbfounded.
Her father even disliked her?
“Go now! Don’t stay here.” Shi Junhe didn’t give her time to restore her equilibrium but waved at her again to kick her out.
However, Shi Qingxue was stubborn. How could she be driven away so easily?
She pouted with displeasure and whispered, “But Mother told me to…”
“Fine, fine. I know what I should do. You are a kid and don’t mind the adults’ business!” Shi Junhe stopped her from saying more and just answered.
However, he was merely perfunctory.
After Shi Junhe responded to her, he even shouted at the door and summoned Shi Jie. “Go to prepare a carriage for Qingxue. She is going to ride a horse on the training ground. Send a letter to King Rui’s mansion and ask His Excellency to take good care of her.”
“Yes!”
Till Shi Qingxue was sent to the gate of King Rui’s mansion, she didn’t come back to earth from the bad news that “her father disliked her”.
Mo Junyang raised his hand and waved in front of her, and she suddenly “cried out”. “Purr… Mo Junyang, my father dislikes me unexpectedly. I am so poor!”
Although she complained tearfully, it was the same as playing the woman.
Only Mo Junyang cooperated with her and asked hurriedly with a frown, “What’s the matter? Tell me. I will avenge you.”
He looked serious. It seemed that as long as Shi Qingxue said that she was bullied, he would instantly go to Duke Shi’s mansion and beat up his future father-in-law.
Shi Qingxue thought of Mo Junyang’s “criminal record” and believed that it was quite possible.
She was scared and shook her head in a hurry. Then she didn’t dare to act like a spoilt child randomly and stated frankly, “No. I was joking. I just want to…”
“Oh? What do you want to do?” Mo Junyang’s face softened and he asked with interest.
Qingxue stuttered, “I just want, want to…” She couldn’t speak out the words “play the woman” even if she was beaten to death.
However, Mo Junyang gazed at her, which made her face blush like a red apple which had just been washed.
She was so lovely and attractive.
He really wanted to bite her.
Mo Junyang was itchy. When she almost couldn’t stand it, he looked away like an upright gentleman. In fact, he had a good laugh at her.
“Ahem… So we are going to the training ground now?”
Shi Qingxue wished that Mo Junyang didn’t bother about this matter anymore, and she didn’t expect that he was teasing her, so she nodded repeatedly. “Great. Let’s go now!”
Shi Junhe “kicked” Shi Qingxue out of the study and then prepared to continue to check the official documents. They were put in front of him for quite a while, yet he didn’t even read one word. In the end, he had to throw the documents back to the table top and then supported his forehead tiredly while sighing.
It happened that Mammy Zheng came to the study at the moment and asked respectfully, “My Lord, Madam told me to ask you if you will go to the bedroom and have lunch with her as the lunch is ready.”
Because special attention should be paid to the pregnant woman’s food, since they knew that Dong Hui was pregnant, her food was prepared specially and she never had meals with the others.
Mammy Zheng came to ask Shi Junhe, and it was obvious that Dong Hui gave him a chance to make peace.
Shi Junhe leered at Mammy Zheng with a faint smile and didn’t expose them. Instead, he nodded, replying, “I see. I will come later.”
Mammy Zheng didn’t expect that it went so smoothly, so she was joyful and expressed her thanks. It seemed that she didn’t come to ask him but to beg him.
Shi Junhe was not in the mood to talk with her and waved her away directly.
He sat in the chair for about fifteen more minutes and then finally made a decision. Then he stood up and went to Dong Hui’s bedroom.
As soon as she saw Shi Junhe, Dong Hui walked to him with a smile, saying happily, “Junhe, you are tired. I specially told the servants to prepare the food you like to eat. Let’s just have lunch now.”
Since Shi Junhe entered the room, he stared at Dong Hui all the time, to see that she smiled at him and talked to him calmly and intimately as usual.
However, it made his heart sink. After a long time, he responded, “Madam, thank you.”
Hearing Shi Junhe’s form of address, Dong Hui frowned with no trace, but soon she looked normal and sat with him to eat.
Although there was a lot of food on the dining table that she couldn’t eat, she still sat with Shi Junhe to show respect to him and offered him dishes and soup. She was more thoughtful and intimate to him than before.
However, Shi Junhe felt that the food in his mouth was tasteless and he couldn’t swallow it.
He ate more slowly and put down the tableware in the end, looking at Dong Hui deeply.
Dong Hui looked as if nothing had happened and even raised her bright eyes, gazing at Shi Junhe. Then she asked innocently, “Why do you stop eating?”
