Chapter 344 - Only One Brother? (2/2)

Shen Luo looked at Shi Qingxue’s happy face and couldn’t bear to let her out because she would be disillusioned after she went out.

But would nothing happen if she stayed in the Lanxun Villa and ignored everything?

It was just to cheat herself and others like a coward.

He sighed deeply and walked to the parlor with Shi Qingxue.

It was still Mammy Zheng who had come.

As soon as Shi Qingxue saw the comer, the smile on her face faded. “What are you doing here?”

Mammy Zheng didn’t dare to act recklessly because Shi Qingxue had taught her a lesson last time. She answered obediently, “Madam told me to come. She said that you have stayed in the villa for so long, so you should come back home, My Lady.”

“Mother told me to go back home?” Shi Qingxue was surprised, yet the smile on her face couldn’t be concealed.

Mammy Zheng also smiled and nodded repeatedly. “Madam misses you a lot and the feast celebrating the first month of the young master will be held in a few days. It will be improper if you don’t join it.”

Shi Qingxue was stunned and then suddenly looked up at Mammy Zheng, with her eyes as sharp as blades, which shocked the old maid.

Mammy Zheng stuttered and started to beg for mercy. “That’s what Madam said.”

She almost cried. This time, she didn’t say anything improper but did as Dong Hui ordered. Why did the young lady glare at her again?

Shi Qingxue was young and looked lovely and harmless at ordinary times, while once she got mad, her glance was enough to make others shudder with fear.

Mammy Zheng reached this conclusion after she confronted Shi Qingxue several times. If possible, she didn’t want to talk with this young lady.

Shi Qingxue’s eyes turned cold, and she stared at Mammy Zheng, seeming to wonder whether what the old maid said was true.

After a long time, she looked away and asked unhurriedly, “The feast celebrating the first month of my little brother? What about Qingmin?”

Mammy Zheng looked at Shi Qingxue hesitantly and didn’t know what to say.

“My Lady, it’s not that I show disrespect for the first young master, but Madam’s attitude is obvious. I really…” Mammy Zheng didn’t dare to disrespect Shi Qingmin this time.

However, no matter how respectful Mammy Zheng was to Shi Qingmin, the masters were decision-makers.

Dong Hui had never mentioned Shi Qingmin from beginning to end and obviously wanted to take him as an invisible person, so how dare they mention him to offend her?

“Enough. Stop talking!”

Shi Qingxue interrupted Mammy Zheng coldly and got up, walking out.

Mammy Zheng was frightened and hurriedly followed her. “My Lady, where are you going?”

“Didn’t my mother tell me to return home? It happens that I have something to talk about with her.” Shi Qingxue looked distant.

Then she leered at Mammy Zheng with a faint smile. “Or Mother doesn’t allow me to return home now?”

“No. How is it possible? Madam misses you all the time, My Lady.” Mammy Zheng smiled flatteringly with caution as she was afraid that she would irritate Shi Qingxue again.

Shi Qingxue didn’t want to talk with Mammy Zheng anymore, so she returned to Duke Shi’s mansion directly.

It happened that some people from the Dong family had come.

Dong Hui’s father Dong Biren and mother Ouyang Yuxin were in the East House and surrounded their grandson, laughing heartily.

Dong Hui laughed most happily among them.

This was her son.

It was a son of her and Shi Junhe.

Although Shi Junhe didn’t care when she didn’t give birth to a son in the past, and he loved her two daughters a lot, a woman who had no son was not intact in this era under the external environment.

Dong Hui had been annoyed and laughed at by many people because of this matter.

Now she could finally hold her head high, and she would hold the feast celebrating Tianyou’s first month in a big way and invite all the noble ladies who had mocked at her in the past to embarrass them.

Huh, those mean people said that she couldn’t give birth to a son.

When Shi Qingxue walked in, she saw the harmonious scene.

All people present congratulated Dong Hui on her son’s birth and talked in high spirits.

Shi Qingxue looked hesitant and stood at the door in silence.

Although she was furious, she hesitated when she saw the happy smiles of Dong Hui and the others.

Would she walk in and dampen all people’s spirits?

Was it proper?

Shi Qingxue pondered for nearly fifteen minutes and shook her head secretly in the end, planning to talk with Dong Hui another day.

“Qingxue, you are back!” Dong Biren found Shi Qingxue first and stopped her.

Qingxue couldn’t turn to leave, so she smiled faintly and came in, greeting all people present.

She knew well about herself. Since she couldn’t force herself to smile and be happy with them, she would pretend to be invisible.

However, Dong Hui didn’t let her go but grabbed her hand excitedly, saying with a smile, “You are finally back. I was afraid that you would enjoy yourself outside so much as to forget everything and be unwilling to come home.

“You have only one brother. If you don’t join the feast celebrating his first month, I will be mad at you.”
