Chapter 326 - The People Who Courts Death Comes (2/2)

Mo Zhengdao was speechless. His brother was too arrogant and distant. It was difficult for him to get close to Mo Junyang, not to mention flattering him.

The second young master paused for quite a while but didn’t want to miss such a good chance to talk with Mo Junyang, so he explained, “I came to the yard and saw that you were practicing swordsmanship, which was superb, and I was almost dazzled, so I praised you involuntarily. If I disturb you, please forgive me.”

He had apologized first. If Mo Junyang still bothered about him, the elder brother must be too narrow-minded.

Mo Zhengdao had a perfect plan.

Mo Junyang asked, “What can I do for you?”

Mo Zhengdao was unable to reply.

Qu Yuebai heard their conversation behind them and could hardly hold back his laughter. Mo Junyang was a conversation terminator, and every word he said could render the other party speechless.

At this thought, Qu Yuebai felt pity for Mo Zhengdao.

It was a joke.

Qu Yuebai walked to Mo Junyang and pretended to be polite to Mo Zhengdao. “Master Zhengdao, the sword is blind. If you are hurt and His Highness comes to denounce His Excellency, we can’t make it clear.”

Mo Zhengdao was ridiculed by the two and looked like a duck whose neck was pinched. He had a blush and couldn’t speak a word.

At this time, Qi Ruyue walked over. She had recovered and been titled as King Rui’s side concubine. She greeted Mo Junyang politely, “Your Excellency.”

Mo Junyang glanced at Qi Ruyue. After a while, he nodded as a salute. “Madam.”

The word “Madam” was almost the best treatment that Mo Junyang could give Qi Ruyue.

After all, he accepted her position as the side concubine. As for others, for example, calling her “mother”, Qi Ruyue didn’t need to think about too much.

Qi Ruyue answered with profound respect and humility and then reminded, “Your Excellency, you exercised just now and must have sweat. Please go back and get changed, in case that you get a cold.”

Both of them said something to butter up Mo Junyang, but the mother was more skilled than the son obviously.

Mo Junyang just nodded and didn’t say more. Then he led his people back to the Love Xue House.

“Mother, haven’t you become King Rui’s side concubine? Why do you need to play up to him?” After they left, Mo Zhengdao immediately complained with displeasure.

Qi Ruyue looked around alertly first. After confirming that there was nobody else, her gentle face looked ferocious at once.

She pinched Mo Zhengdao’s ear and cursed, “You are so brainless. I have reminded you many times that if you want to survive in this mansion, don’t offend His Excellency. Have you thrown my words to the wind?”

Mo Zhengdao felt the pain and grinned. He wanted to get back his ear yet didn’t dare to, so he had to beg for mercy obsequiously. “Mother, I always listen to you, so I want to keep a good relationship with him. Who knows that it’s so difficult to please him? It seems that whatever I say is wrong…”

In fact, Mo Zhengdao was frustrated.

Qi Ruyue sneered at Mo Zhengdao and snorted. “You almost write your intentions on your face. He knows that you want to ask him for help, so if he can get close to you, there will be something weird.”

Mo Zhengdao was seen through, so he smiled in embarrassment and stated flatteringly, “Haven’t I been titled as the second young master in the mansion? I have inquired. The children in the noblemen’s families, even including the concubines’ sons have official positions, and even if they don’t do anything, they can get salaries, but I have nothing, so I want to…”

Qi Ruyue pounded Mo Zhengdao’s head. “What are you thinking about? Don’t covet anything. Stop daydreaming.”

“Mother!” Mo Zhengdao shouted with displeasure.

He thought that he just asked for what he should get. Why didn’t his mother help him but held him back?

Qi Ruyue was also in a bad mood and spat at him. “You are too immature. Your intention is obvious, and even I can notice it. Do you think that you can hide it from your brother?”

“Do you mean…” Mo Zhengdao suddenly thought that Mo Junyang was ruthless when he practiced swordsmanship. If Mo Junyang knew that Mo Zhengdao schemed against him, then…

Mo Zhengdao trembled with fear and asked, “What should I do? Will my brother do something to me?”

Qi Ruyue goggled at him and sighed. “Don’t worry. Since he didn’t explode on the spot, he must want to let it pass. Be alert in the future and don’t offend him. Understand?”

Mo Zhengdao said yes unwillingly yet still showed a sad face. “Mother, what about my future? I can’t just stay in this mansion and idle around in the future, waiting for death.”

Although he lived a luxurious life in comfort, he couldn’t bear to live such a life in the future. Moreover, Mo Junyang was above him.

Mo Junyang was better at anything and more capable than him.

With a man’s desire to win, he couldn’t accept something like this.

Qi Ruyue patted his hand and comforted him softly. “You have just returned home, and you are not familiar with anything. Don’t be anxious. After a long time, when you are closer to your father, will he treat you unfairly?”

Mo Zhengdao thought about it and realized that he was anxious indeed, so he nodded in agreement.

However, he still had a plan. Although King Rui was of a high position, it appeared that he didn’t ask about state affairs, and he must be feared by the emperor, while his brother was favored by the emperor and had real power.

If there was a chance, he still had to find a way to gain profit from Mo Junyang, but he should be more careful and couldn’t be seen through when he did it next time.
