Chapter 252 - I Won’t Ask You to Stay if You Want to Leave (1/2)
Dong Hui was startled and speechless, looking at Shi Junhe in a daze.
Shi Junhe didn’t play dumb and asked with a bitter smile, “Do you dare to say that nothing happened between you and Yan Lü, and you are innocent?”
“It’s true. That night I just…” Dong Hui thought that Shi Junhe was mad because he misunderstood what happened that night, so she was anxious to give him an explanation.
However, Shi Junhe just shook his head and asked impassively, “Have I told you that I don’t want you to meet Yan Lü?”
Dong Hui stiffened and had to nod, yet soon she explained, “But it happened for a reason that night. Listen to my explanation.”
“Fine, stop. I don’t want to know what was going on that night.” Shi Junhe waved his hand wearily and didn’t want to listen to Dong Hui.
Because it was pointless.
No matter if something happened between Dong Hui and Yan Lü, it didn’t matter anymore.
The people who should misunderstand had misunderstood, and the people who wanted to find fault with her had got the evidence against her. Was it necessary to investigate?
The indifference in Shi Junhe’s eyes hurt Dong Hui. She was scared and grieved. Then she nervously grabbed his hand, begging, “Junhe, don’t be like this.
“I really didn’t cheat on you. You should trust me!”
Shi Junhe gently pushed away Dong Hui’s hand and responded distantly, “I have said that it doesn’t matter. I don’t care about this matter anymore. You don’t need to…”
“No, it’s not true!” Dong Hui interrupted Shi Junhe in a harsh voice and stared at him desperately.
She stressed each word. “I said that I just met Yan once and nothing happened. Why do you still suspect me?”
Shi Junhe got rash probably because of Dong Hui’s roar and couldn’t help saying furiously, “You know that Yan Lü has improper feelings for you, but you still met him in private. What do you want me to think about? Huh! Tell me!”
Dong Hui opened her eyes wide in disbelief and looked as if she was frustrated.
She hadn’t expected that Shi Junhe would speak evil of Yan Lü, as if their relationship was unpresentable, so she shouted more emotionally, “What bullshit are you talking about? Yan is upright. How can you say that he is so evil? You really disappoint me.”
“You are disappointed?” Shi Junhe sneered and his eyes were dark. He stated in a sharp voice, “You have a secret relationship with Yan Lü all the time. I am desperate.”
“Shi Junhe!” Dong Hui screamed loudly out of anger and looked at Shi Junhe with sorrow in her eyes. It seemed that she couldn’t accept that he talked about the relationship between her and Yan Lü like this.
However, after Shi Junhe finished his words, he didn’t dodge but stared at Dong Hui, protesting silently.
Dong Hui was irritated almost to death by his attitude, and she trembled in a rage. After a long time, she finally managed with effort to calm down. She restrained her urge to cry and then expressed in a sobbing voice, “Fine, fine! I see. You look down upon me and don’t want to be with me now.
“I won’t force you. I am leaving now, okay?”
Afterward, Dong Hui stood up from her chair in an instant and shouted to the outside, “Zheng, come in. Come in!”
Mammy Zheng was guarding outside while trembling all the time. In the beginning, she didn’t hear the voices in the room. Till they quarreled in louder voices, even the people outside heard them.
She hurriedly drove the servants around away as she was afraid that the secret would be heard.
Hearing Dong Hui’s order, Mammy Zheng walked in instantly. “Madam, what can I do for you?”
Dong Hui pointed to the room stiffly and responded in a cold voice, “Since somebody starts to dislike me, I will go back to my parents’ home and won’t humiliate myself here. Go to pack up for me now.”
Hearing that Dong Hui would go back to her parents’ home after they quarreled, Mammy Zheng was anxious and quickly knelt in front of her, begging, “Madam, Duke Shi’s mansion is your home! How can you leave home just because you are angry?”
Tears fell from Dong Hui’s eyes immediately as Mammy Zheng advised her.
She wiped her tears and meanwhile leered at Shi Junhe, saying coldly, “I am detested by somebody. What’s the point if I still stay at this home? I’d better leave as soon as possible so that I can give his new wife a room in the future.”
“What nonsense are you talking about? Where is the new wife?” Shi Junhe had a headache and touched his forehead. He was helpless as Dong Hui was unreasonable and made trouble out of nothing.
Nevertheless, Dong Hui got emotional again and pointed at Shi Junhe, cursing, “You didn’t talk nonsense and slander me and Yan?”
Shi Junhe kept silent as he saw that Dong Hui mentioned Yan Lü again after beating around the bush.
He looked as if he wouldn’t change his words no matter what she said, which made Dong Hui furious. She shouted again that she would go back to her parents’ home.
Noticing that something bad would happen, Mammy Zheng turned around and knelt to Shi Junhe. She kept kowtowing and begging for mercy. “My Lord, Madam is not good-tempered, but she loves you wholeheartedly, and even the gods in the heaven can testify her. Please coax her.
“Now she is pregnant. If she goes back to her parents’ home, wouldn’t she be bullied by her greedy relatives?”
Seeing that Mammy Zheng begged for mercy for her, Dong Hui yelled more angrily, “Zheng, don’t beg him! He doesn’t like me, and I don’t care about him. I have stayed in this mansion for long enough and can’t stay here for one quarter more. You pack up for me right away. I am going back to my parents’ mansion now.”
After speaking, she walked back to the wardrobe in person and pulled out her clothes since Mammy Zheng refused to do that. She spat at her husband. “Shi Junhe, I tell you. You force me to leave today. In the future, even if you go to my parents’ home and kneel to me to beg me, I won’t come back.”
Mammy Zheng was furious and anxious. She told her lady not to be so impulsive and begged Shi Junhe at the same time.
However, Shi Junhe just stood by and watched aside. Hearing that Dong Hui said something cruel without hesitation, he merely furrowed his brows.
After a long time, he couldn’t help but say coldly at last, “Since you want to go back, just go.”
With these words, Shi Junhe didn’t care about Dong Hui’s reactions and waved his sleeves while leaving directly.
