Chapter 256 - Leng Yan’s Affair (2/2)
Nevertheless, Mo Shujun loved her youngest son to the bone, and even if she touched him at ordinary times, she was afraid that she would hurt him. She had beaten him just because she was too angry, and she even regretted it afterward. How could she bear to beat him again?
Seeing that Shi Juncai had tears in his eyes, she softened her tone and comforted him in spite of her anger. “Kid, you want to make me sad? You know that I love you most but you said that to break my heart. You are going to irritate me to death!”
The princess royal would lower her dignified head and forget her honorable identity only in front of her youngest son Shi Juncai.
However, Shi Juncai looked as if he wasn’t comforted and even wanted more, shouting, “You don’t even want to give a maid to me, but you said that you love me? I don’t believe it!”
Mo Shujun was not a fool. Hearing that, she could certainly understand that Shi Juncai asked her in another way to give Leng Yan to him.
In fact, since Shi Juncai said that, Mo Shujun would just give any other maid to him as a reward.
However, it couldn’t be Leng Yan. Mo Shujun had told all people in the mansion that she would marry Leng Yan to Shi Junhe as his concubine, yet she gave this maid to Shi Juncai as a reward. What would it be like?
Even if Shi Junhe didn’t care, in the outsiders’ eyes, it would ruin Shi Juncai’s fame.
She couldn’t let Shi Juncai do something so stupid.
Mo Shujun looked serious and pulled Shi Juncai to her, saying in all earnestness, “Juncai, I will let it pass, but you need to remember that Leng Yan is your brother’s woman. Even if you take away all the other maids in the Shou’an Hall, I won’t say anything. However, only she can’t go with you! Do you understand?”
Shi Juncai was still resentful.
“Kid, just listen to me. Would I harm you?” Mo Shujun grabbed Shi Juncai’s hand more tightly and analyzed for him seriously. “It’s not that I don’t want to give Leng Yan to you, but don’t you think it over? At the crucial time, if you forcefully take her to your residence, how would the outsiders speak of you?
“You haven’t regained your official position now. If somebody who is brainless takes it as the evidence to denounce you, do you want to be an official?”
Shi Juncai pondered for a while and then realized that it was true. Although he was still reluctant, he controlled himself and answered unwillingly, “Okay. This time he will get what I want.”
They had a heart-to-heart talk and totally forgot that Leng Yan was also in the room whom they were talking about.
Nevertheless, in the eyes of these two members of the nobility, a maid was really a commodity that could be bought and sold randomly, and the difference was the price.
They talked about her because they thought much of her.
Leng Yan restrained her anger while trembling and kept her head lowered, letting the two comment on her with contempt and insult.
“Mother, I slept with my brother’s woman just for you. Don’t be mad at me.” Shi Juncai rolled his eyes and started to talk nonsense again.
Mo Shujun goggled at him and responded crossly, “The woman I will give your brother must be a pure maid at least. You slept with her first and leave the trouble to me. How can you have the face to say that you did that for me?”
Shi Juncai didn’t care and commented with bullshit, “What’s the good of a virgin? They are unskillful with no allure, and it’s not fun to have sex with them. I should teach her a few times at least before I can taste her charm. I really helped my brother.”
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Mo Shujun was furious and cursed in a loud voice.
Suddenly she found something wrong and looked at the bed. There were only water stains on the messy sheet, and she knew what they had done at a glance, but there was no blood on it, which meant…
Mo Shujun slapped Shi Juncai once more in a rage. “Naughty boy, I thought you just lost your head for the moment, but you even…”
After cursing Shi Juncai, she still didn’t vent her anger and then aimed at Leng Yan who kept silent, rebuking harshly, “You don’t have a sense of self-love. I provide you with good food and clothes and love you like my daughter. Look at what you have done. You even seduced Juncai repeatedly. It’s a pity that I love you so much.”
From their identity and what happened just now, it could be seen that Leng Yan was forced.
However, Mo Shujun pretended blind in this thing and put all the blame on Leng Yan, while the maid was weak and endured her reproach in silence.
Shi Juncai couldn’t help but cut in. “Mother, why do you curse her? Isn’t it good?”
“Bullshit!” Perhaps Mo Shujun lost her mind out of anger and even spoke out dirty words that she had never said at ordinary times.
Shi Juncai didn’t care and even smiled. “Mother, isn’t it great? I sleep with my brother’s woman, and he will raise my child in the future. It is much easier than what we have planned.”
When Dong Hui didn’t have a son, Mo Shujun and Shi Juncai planned to give a child to Shi Junhe as his foster son to inherit the title of nobility in the future. However, Dong Hui was like an old female cat which protected its babies and refused to raise somebody else’s son no matter how nice he was.
So their hope came to nothing.
Mo Shujun’s eyes lit up and she pondered even though she had been excited. After a while, she didn’t say yes yet her tone softened a lot.
She just rebuked crossly, “Pregnant. If it is so easy as you said, your brother might have had a son now.”
Shi Juncai smiled scornfully and snorted. “It’s because my brother is useless. If I were him, I might have had many children. I think that he is incapable. Even if you give Leng Yan to him, she won’t have a son in the future. It’s better to let me do it!
“I get her pregnant, and he will raise my baby. How wonderful it is! So our title won’t be given to an outsider, right?”
Probably only such a jerk as Shi Juncai could say that he took his brother as an outsider.
However, Mo Shujun didn’t retort unexpectedly. Instead, she was tempted by his words and looked at Leng Yan’s belly carefully, as if there was a baby.
After a long time, Shi Juncai didn’t hear Mo Shujun’s response, so he got impulsive, deciding to show his master card.
He would see how Mo Shujun disagreed after he said that.
