Chapter 271 - Let’s Go Back Home (1/2)

Mo Shujun was so angry that she even burst into laughter. She glared at Shi Qingxue ferociously and snorted. “Do you think it is possible?”

Was she joking?

She could hardly agree to let Dong Hui return to their mansion, and Shi Qingxue even dreamed that she would go to the Dong family’s mansion to beg Dong Hui to come back. The girl just tried to step on her dignity.

Humph!

They couldn’t try to think about it. Mo Shujun wouldn’t surrender because of that.

Shi Qingxue shrugged indifferently and stated, “In this case, tomorrow I will give the two confessions in my hands to the government to put on record. If the people in the government don’t handle it, I still have a say in front of the Empress Dowager. I believe that she is willing to uphold justice for me.”

“You…” Mo Shujun trembled out of anger.

She had never expected that Shi Qingxue would be so reckless as to ruin Shi Juncai’s fame.

“Are you threatening me?”

Shi Qingxue looked at Mo Shujun horizontally and even pursed her lips in a good mood, saying impassively, “How would I dare to? It’s just that you should pay the debt you owe. Mother has suffered from too much injustice in this mansion. I just want to make her feel better. Is it too much?

“Moreover, if you go to the Dong family’s mansion, you would do her justice and it appears that you love your daughter-in-law. Even if the news spreads, it will be a story passed on with approval and benefit everybody. If you insist on refusing, I will have nothing to say.”

Knowing that Mo Shujun attached importance to the public opinion, Qingxue didn’t force her to lose face in public but figured out a way to protect each party’s fame.

However, in this case, Mo Shujun couldn’t express her annoyance, so perhaps she was more depressed.

Mo Shujun’s old face changed sharply, with hatred, reluctance, anxiety, worry…

In an instant, she suddenly concealed all her emotions and lowered her head, saying in a calm and hoarse voice, “Okay. I’ll go.”

Shi Qingxue finished something important and finally showed a satisfied smile.

However, on second thought, she didn’t have confidence in Mo Shujun’s moral quality, so she suggested, “It’s no need to choose a lucky day. I am willing to go to the Dong family’s mansion with you tomorrow and we can have a talk with Mother.”

Mo Shujun raised her eyes and glanced at Shi Qingxue in silence.

She just coldly told the girl to leave. “Okay. You have finished what you want to say. Get out of here now.”

The next morning, Mo Shujun got into the carriage and went to the Dong family’s mansion once more.

However, different from her complacency and planning to watch a good play the other day, she felt resentful and entered the gate of the Dong family’s mansion unwillingly.

This time, she was treated much worse than last time.

Dong Hui said that she was ill and didn’t come out. Only Ouyang Yuxin came in an unhurried manner.

Ouyang Yuxin saw Mo Shujun and thought that the princess royal came because of her daughter’s divorce settlement, so she indifferently told her to leave the mansion. “Hui has clearly said in the letter what she should say. Now we have nothing to talk about. Get out now.”

Perhaps it was Mo Shujun’s first time to hear somebody tell her to “get out”, so she was embarrassed and furious.

However, Ouyang Yuxin was a peer and Mo Shujun couldn’t put pressure on her as an elder. And Shi Qingxue had the evidence against her, so the princess royal didn’t dare to leave.

She endured everything in depression.

Shi Qingxue watched aside for quite a while and finally enjoyed Mo Shujun’s dejection enough. She felt that her mother wiped out a humiliation, so she was satisfied.

Since the main purpose of her arrival today was to take her mother back home, she couldn’t force Mo Shujun to a corner.

Qingxue thought for a while and then walked forward. She pulled Ouyang Yuxin to one side and explained in a low voice, “Grandma, there is a misunderstanding for what happened last time, so my paternal grandma came in person this time to address the misunderstanding and ask Mother to go back home.”

Hearing Shi Qingxue’s words, Ouyang Yuxin was joyful at first and thought that Dong Hui’s luck came after hardship as the Shi family finally came to pick her up, so she wouldn’t be looked down upon as an abandoned woman.

However, on second thought, she remembered that Mo Shujun acted like a tyrant here last time and made Dong Hui suffer from injustice, so she felt that her daughter didn’t deserve it.

Ouyang Yuxin concealed her smile and intentionally shouted loudly, “Misunderstanding? How can it be a misunderstanding? Didn’t you tell Duke Shi to have a concubine? He already had a wedding, right? How can you say that it’s a misunderstanding?”

Shi Qingxue started the subject but didn’t plan to explain for Mo Shujun, and she merely winked at her paternal grandma.

Mo Shujun understood. Although she was reluctant, she paused for a moment and then softened. “Yuxin, it’s really a misunderstanding. The maid Leng Yan is badly-behaved. How can she marry Junhe? I made a mistake in the past, and they didn’t have a wedding. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Qingxue. She knows everything.”

For the first time, Ouyang Yuxin saw that Mo Shujun was so soft and even called her name intimately, so she felt surprised.

Hearing that Shi Junhe didn’t marry Leng Yan, she was not so angry.

She just insisted and was unwilling to give in easily. “You said that he would marry another woman, and you even let a vicious servant bully the mistress, yet now you say that nothing happened? Duke Shi didn’t get married? So you played the villain in the past and now play the hero. You said everything and our family can do nothing but listen to your orders?

“It’s unreasonable. If you don’t give us a logical explanation today, I won’t let it go so easily.”

Ouyang Yuxin spoke quickly and asked Mo Shujun all the questions.

Her mean words were like sharp knives and stabbed Mo Shujun, who felt the pain all over her body.

Mo Shujun took a deep breath, thinking that she had come here and suffered from “injustice”. If she retreated at this hour, it would be unworthy.

It was better to comfort Dong Hui first and take her back home. Anyway, she was Dong Hui’s mother-in-law and it was easy to cope with her in the future.

At this thought, Mo Shujun restrained herself again and even showed a flattering smile on her face. Because she was not skilled, she looked weird.

She softened her tone and then explained, “In the past…I didn’t handle it well and hurt Hui’s heart. I don’t want to defend myself, but anyway, we are family. Today I came specially because I want to have a heart-to-heart talk with her and then ask her to go back home with me. Then our family would get together. Is that okay?”
