Chapter 310 - An Illegitimate Son (2/2)

Shi Qingxue pulled Mo Junyang’s hand which grabbed hers and raised her head to look at him, saying seriously, “I will be with you.”

She didn’t say why, yet her words were precious to Mo Junyang.

After they told Shi Junhe, they got into the carriage, heading to King Rui’s mansion.

When the carriage was about to reach King Rui’s mansion, the horse suddenly roared and the carriage rocked. Then it was stopped abruptly.

Shi Qingxue didn’t sit steadily, so she rushed into Mo Junyang’s arms, with her chin knocking on his shoulder heavily. It hurt her so much that she shed tears. “What…what’s wrong?”

Mo Junyang hugged her and rubbed her chin gently while shouting at the people outside.

Wei Zichao reported outside the thick curtain, “Master, a teenage boy who is about seventeen or eighteen years old stopped the carriage and said that he wanted to see you.”

“See me?” There was surprise in Mo Junyang’s cold voice.

He didn’t remember when he knew such a boy.

However, he frowned and lifted the curtain, seeing the teenager.

The boy was about seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in shabby clothes. He was dirty and thin. In cold winter, he looked thinner and more pitiful, like a beggar on the street.

Seeing the boy kneel in front of the carriage in silence, Mo Junyang asked coldly, “Who are you?”

The boy raised his head to glance at Mo Junyang cautiously and then lowered it again in a hurry after meeting Mo Junyang’s eyes. He answered obediently, “I…My name is Qi Zhengdao.”

Mo Junyang still looked at the boy with a frown and didn’t say anything.

He didn’t remember if he had heard of this name.

The boy was kneeling on the ground obediently for a while but didn’t hear Mo Junyang say anything. Then he mustered up his courage to raise his head and look at Mo Junyang.

He stated tentatively, “I…I have something to show you.”

“Bring it for me. I will check.” Mo Junyang nodded at Wei Zichao, who then walked to Qi Zhengdao immediately and received what he handed over before giving it to Mo Junyang.

In the beginning, Mo Junyang didn’t care at all, but his expression changed when he saw the jade pendant handed by Qi Zhengdao.

His eyes became sharp at once and he looked this thin teenager up and down carefully for the first time. Then he asked, “Who are you again?”

“I…My name is Qi Zhengdao,” the boy repeated his name.

“I didn’t ask about your name.” Mo Junyang stared at the boy once more.

The boy fell into silence. Nobody knew whether he didn’t understand what Mo Junyang meant or he didn’t want to answer.

Mo Junyang didn’t have the patience to waste time with him, so he continued directly, “If you don’t want to say anything, just go with this jade pendant.”

Perhaps it was the first time for Qi Zhengdao to see a person who was so impatient. He got nervous and replied in a hurry, “My father’s name is Mo Xiangrui.”

He was probably anxious and raised his voice, shouting.

As soon as he finished his words, people around gasped.

Qi Zhengdao seemed to finally realize that he had done something wrong, so he lowered his head instantly and stopped talking.

Mo Junyang looked peaceful and stared at Qi Zhengdao, asking calmly, “Since you gave the jade pendant to me. Do you want something from me?”

Of course, he didn’t believe that Qi Zhengdao just wanted to give something like a keepsake back to King Rui’s mansion on a whim.

If so, Qi Zhengdao should tell somebody to send it in secret instead of stopping the carriage on the street and saying that he was King Rui’s illegitimate son under the watchful eyes of many people.

Even though Qi Zhengdao didn’t force Mo Junyang, it was not simple.

As expected, as soon as Mo Junyang finished his words, Qi Zhengdao looked awkward and blushed on his ghastly pale cheeks.

He bit his lower lip hard and seemed to be embarrassed.

Nobody knew whether he couldn’t withstand the cold wind or he was stimulated by Mo Junyang’s words. His eyes rolled and he fell into a coma next to the horse in the end unexpectedly.

Wei Zichao hurriedly reached out his hand to feel the boy’s nose. Seeing that the boy was still breathing, he asked Mo Junyang, “Master, he is in a coma. How should we deal with him?”

His voice was indifferent.

However, it was not surprising.

Wei Zichao worked for Mo Junyang, and somebody suddenly showed up and claimed to be King Rui’s illegitimate son.

Even though Mo Junyang didn’t say anything, Wei Zichao would never like anybody who might threaten his master.

“Just take him to the mansion first.” Mo Junyang was still expressionless and made an arrangement impassively. Then he put down the curtain and motioned for them to drive the horse.

After he returned to the carriage, there were only two people inside, Mo Junyang and Shi Qingxue.

Mo Junyang’s face which was always expressionless looked serious. He raised his head and happened to meet Shi Qingxue’s eyes.

They noticed the doubts in the other party’s eyes.
