Chapter 341 - A Live Show of Taming a Beast (1/2)
Shi Qingxue clenched her fists hidden in her sleeves and almost couldn’t help but question Dong Hui, yet she saw that her mother’s thin body trembled slightly when she spoke.
So she got soft-hearted again at once.
She knew that Dong Hui was sick. Why would she bother about a patient?
Perhaps Shi Junhe chose to keep silent just because he considered Dong Hui’s feelings.
Shi Qingxue pursed her lips and gradually understood Shi Junhe’s hard effort, so she didn’t continue to force him to give a name to her first brother.
However, was it proper as her little brother had a name while the other didn’t have one?
Now Mammy Zheng dared to mention the first young master of the Shi family with disdain. If the news spread that the masters of the Shi family were unwilling to name the first young master, his status in the mansion in the future could be imagined.
Shi Qingxue didn’t allow something like this.
She lowered her head and pondered for a moment. Then she looked at Shi Junhe and said seriously, “Father, if you and Mother are unwilling to give a name to my first brother, I have to exceed my authority and take your job.”
This time, Shi Junhe grabbed Dong Hui’s hand and responded in advance, “Okay. You are taking care of him now, so it’s proper if you give a name to him.”
“Then his name is Tian…”
As soon as Shi Qingxue started, Dong Hui’s sharp voice interrupted her before the girl figured out a name for her brother.
“No. The word Tian can’t be in his name. Otherwise, he will surely make me and Tianyou die!”
Dong Hui grabbed Shi Junhe’s hand and shouted emotionally, “Junhe, you can’t let this monster harm our son!”
“Enough!”
Shi Qingxue was irritated as Dong Hui said the word “monster” repeatedly. Even though the mother was sick, could she hurt her biological son wantonly?
Shi Qingxue took a deep breath and restrained her anger. Then she sneered. “Fine…fine. You are afraid, yet I don’t believe it. Since you are unwilling, I will just name him Shi Qingmin. I have the same word Qing in my name. So none of you will be implicated, okay?”
Seeing that Shi Qingxue gave a name to her brother without thinking it over, Dong Hui got anxious. She couldn’t watch her daughter being “harmed”.
However, Shi Qingxue didn’t give Dong Hui a chance but left after saying that.
At the moment, nobody could predict that Shi Qingmin, this name which was decided to vent anger would be remembered in the history of the Mo Dynasty through the ages in the end.
After returning to the Luotong Boudoir, Shi Qingxue still felt resentful.
She couldn’t figure out what was wrong with Dong Hui.
Even though Shi Qingmin looked disappointing indeed, Dong Hui shouldn’t deny his existence.
This mother had gone too far.
All people said that even a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs, but Shi Qingxue couldn’t see any kinship in what Dong Hui did. She just felt disappointed.
“What’s wrong?” Mo Junyang happened to come in.
After he recuperated these days, the wound on his shoulder blade was fully healed.
Nevertheless, they couldn’t enjoy the leisurely life in the family temple on Tan Mountain anymore.
Firstly, Mo Xiangbin was more seriously ill day by day, and even Shen Luo was at a loss what to do.
Nobody knew what this emperor thought about, and he started to remember the kinship and told Mo Junyang to enter the imperial palace almost every day.
He didn’t talk business but mentioned something unimportant every time.
He was like a gentle father caring about his son’s daily life.
Unfortunately, it was Mo Junyang, and he didn’t care about Mo Xiangbin’s flattering words.
When he was free, he would enter the imperial palace and sit with Mo Xiangbin for a while, not more than one hour, but he was not free most of the time.
Moreover, Mo Junyu was the crown prince acting as regent now. He was in power, and he should take on a lot of responsibilities.
Even though the crown prince was intelligent innately, capable and fond of learning, he would be inevitably at a loss facing the complicated state affairs when he started to take the job.
After Mo Junyu asked Mo Junyang for advice on some state affairs and got wonderful solutions, he summoned Mo Junyang more frequently.
He almost took Mo Junyang as his wise counsellor and murmured in secret, “Gee, Junyang, where did you learn these capabilities? I haven’t seen that you are diligent in reading books at ordinary times, but how can you be so experienced in dealing with these things?”
Some of Mo Junyang’s solutions were even more appropriate than Mo Xiangbin’s.
After Mo Junyu saw that, he was suddenly enlightened and also astonished.
If the crown prince knew that Mo Junyang was an emperor who was on the throne for longest in the Mo Dynasty’s history of only one hundred years, he wouldn’t be so surprised.
Mo Junyang naturally wouldn’t reveal so much to Mo Junyu. After helping the crown prince deal with some matters difficult to handle every day, he was anxious to return to the Shi family’s mansion regardless of the crown prince’s suggestion of staying to have dinner with him.
When Mo Junyang saw Shi Qingxue’s gloomy expression, he thought that he was right to do that.
Shi Qingxue came back to reality from her messy thoughts and then saw Mo Junyang standing in front of her with his back to the cold sunshine in winter, as tall and big as a god.
