Chapter 330 - An Amour” (2/2)

It seemed that this moment was forever.

Shi Qingxue also relaxed and rested her head in Mo Junyang’s arms obediently.

She showed the white feather and surrendered to him.

Perhaps it was Shi Qingxue’s first time to put herself in such a weak position in two lives.

Even though she loved Mo Junhao in the previous life, she had never forgotten her arrogance.

Her arrogance was innate, but it was defeated under Mo Junyang’s deep love.

Mo Junyang certainly felt Shi Qingxue’s love, and his restless heart which didn’t calm after he was in the cold wind for a night finally became steady.

However, the fierce beast in his heart was just in a state of torpor, and Shi Qingxue was the best soothing agent for him.

He just wanted her to be next to him.

Only she was next to him.

“I…” Mo Junyang licked his dry lips and asked in a hoarse voice, “Can I sleep here?”

“Ah?”

Shi Qingxue frowned subconsciously.

Before she spoke, Mo Junyang explained, “I don’t need to sleep on the bed, as long as there is a spot where I can look at you, and I will leave before dawn tomorrow. I promise not to disturb anybody.”

Logically, this plan was perfect.

However, Shi Qingxue put on a long face and was speechless after hearing that.

What was going on? Wasn’t it like an “amour”?

Qingxue had complex feelings and wanted to make a lot of comments, but facing Mo Junyang, she couldn’t speak a word.

Fine. Anyway, in fact, she didn’t want to leave him.

It would be fine as long as nobody found it, right?

Shi Qingxue thought and didn’t take it seriously. Then she nodded.

Mo Junyang’s whole face lit up at once. Before Shi Qingxue told him, he spontaneously moved the couch in the room and put it opposite to her bed.

Then he could see her even when he lay on the couch.

Shi Qingxue blew out the lamp. It was dark in the room. Both of them lay in their spots.

It was silent, yet Shi Qingxue could feel that a pair of bright eyes kept staring at her even when she closed her eyes.

Although it was not horrible, any normal person couldn’t fall asleep at ease under the stare.

After about fifteen minutes, Qingxue finally couldn’t control herself but shouted in a low voice, “Enough. Close your eyes and go to sleep now. Otherwise, just go back to your room.”

The room really fell into silence.

Shi Qingxue was relieved and felt warm, so she was sleepy soon. In no time, she fell asleep.

Therefore, she didn’t know that after she fell asleep, the man on the couch sat up in an instant and then came over, sitting on her bedside gently.

He sat for a night and looked at her for a night.

Next morning, when Shi Qingxue woke up and looked at the couch which had been put back in the distance, she was in a daze.

Did it happen last night?

Or she missed Mo Junyang too much, so she made conjectures?

“My Lady, couldn’t you fall asleep last night?” Xia Mang’s doubtful question dragged Shi Qingxue back to reality.

She was guilty and avoided Xia Mang’s eyes. “What…What’s wrong?”

Xia Mang pointed to the teacup on the table. “When I left last night, there was no teacup on the table.”

Shi Qingxue followed Xia Mang’s eyes and found that the teacup Mo Junyang had used was still left on the table.

Mo Junyang was good at being a “thief” and had put the couch back, but he forgot the evidence which was not put away.

So Xia Mang thought that Shi Qingxue had used it.

Qingxue felt lucky as she only poured a cup of tea for Mo Junyang last night. Otherwise, if there were two teacups on the table, she couldn’t explain it clearly.

Xia Mang still said endlessly, “Why did you drink tea at midnight? Wouldn’t you be unable to fall asleep?”

Shi Qingxue listened patiently and didn’t retort but distracted her in time.

In this way, Shi Qingxue and Mo Junyang started to live together in the family temple on Tan Mountain.

Except that they could hardly control themselves on the first day, they didn’t do anything excessive later apart from a restrained kiss occasionally.

As for living together, Mo Junyang entered Shi Qingxue’s room secretly every night after all people fell asleep.

Like the first time, he didn’t do anything. He was satisfied as long as he looked at Shi Qingxue.

Shi Qingxue was not used to falling asleep when somebody stared at her, and she probably would never be used to it.

However, generally, the life on Tan Mountain was pleasant.

Till Wei Ziye brought a piece of news after the wind and snow finally stopped on Tan Mountain, the pleasant life was disturbed.

Shi Juncai died.

He died miserably in the place where he was banished. It was said that he had been murdered.

When Shi Qingxue got the news, she didn’t believe it as her first reaction.

In the previous life, till she died miserably, Shi Juncai still lived a good life and had even snatched the position of Duke Shi, oh, although the first thing Mo Junyang did after he took the throne was use the fresh blood of the third master’s family to worship her grave. Why did he die silently?

And he was murdered?

It didn’t make sense.

Shi Juncai had been banished to Beizhou, so he was almost useless, and under Mo Shujun’s protection, logically, at least he must live a good life and didn’t need to worry about his food and clothes. Why was he murdered by somebody?

Who would do such a hard and thankless job?

Did the murderer eat too much and have nothing to do?

Hearing Shi Qingxue ask Mo Junyang in confusion, Wei Ziye wanted to say something yet stopped himself.

Mo Junyang didn’t say anything rashly but asked Wei Ziye first, “What information did you get? No matter if it is true, just tell us everything.”

Wei Ziye finally replied hesitantly, “In fact, when the people from Beizhou sent the news about Shi Juncai’s death, they brought some gossip. I don’t know if it’s true, so I don’t dare to judge.”

“What?” Shi Qingxue looked at Wei Ziye anxiously.

“They said, said…” Wei Ziye made up his mind and spoke out everything. “They said that some people in Beizhou rumored that Duke Shi envied and hated Shi Juncai, so he sent somebody to murder Shi Juncai secretly.”

“What?”

Shi Qingxue exclaimed again, yet this time she jumped up from the chair and her eyes widened in disbelief.

Wei Ziye continued to explain the cause and effect. “The information was brought by our people in Beizhou personally. Although there is no evidence, the gossip spreads everywhere as if it were the truth. I am afraid that many people believe this saying.

“But the news hasn’t spread to the capital city for now, and there is no great influence. After Mr. Qu heard it, he said that it was significant, and he didn’t dare to make a decision arbitrarily, so he told me to send it to you in a rush. Your Excellency, My Lady, what’s your opinion?”
