Dong Hui was frightened and moved a few steps backward. Then she bumped into Shi Junhe and finally stood steadily.
But Mo Junyang’s eyes with killing intent were like a pair of invisible hands and grabbed Dong Hui’s neck, which made her unable to make a sound or even move.
Mo Junyang didn’t plan to let her go and stepped forward, shouting more frightfully, “Say it again!”
Dong Hui was so scared that tears fell from her eyes. She shook her head crazily and didn’t dare to say anything.
“Ho! I was always polite to you for Qingxue’s sake, but you challenged my patience again and again!” Mo Junyang laughed, but he was more dreadful than when he was expressionless.
He stared at Dong Hui as if she were dead. “Since you want to die, I will make your wish come true.”
As soon as he stopped speaking, he waved his claw-like hand, trying to hit Dong Hui.
Shi Junhe stretched out his hand by instinct to resist, but Mo Junyang turned his claw into a palm and pounded him away. Shi Junhe bumped into several servants standing aside and spat blood.
When he managed to stand firmly with the support of a pillar, Dong Hui was lifted by Mo Junyang grabbing her neck. Her toes left the ground and she rolled her eyes.
It appeared that if Mo Junyang put forth a little more strength, Dong Hui’s neck would be broken.
“No!”
“No!”
Shi Junhe and Qu Yuebai shouted almost at the same time, but the older man had been beaten by Mo Junyang and couldn’t move. Qu Yuebai swiftly grasped Mo Junyang’s wrist and yelled, “Junyang, no.”
Fortunately, when Mo Junyang was mad, he didn’t beat Qu Yuebai on impulse, but he didn’t withdraw his hand. He just said with no emotion, “Loosen your hand.”
However, Qu Yuebai grasped him more tightly and said in a deeper voice, “Be calm. She is Shi Qingxue’s mother.”
“She is the one I want to kill!” The killing intent couldn’t be concealed in Mo Junyang’s red eyes.
Mo Junyang was truly irritated and exploded. Even the words “Shi Qingxue” couldn’t stop him from hurting somebody, and the target was Dong Hui.
Seeing that Dong Hui would be strangled or scared to death, Qu Yuebai knew that if he didn’t say anything to prevent Mo Junyang, it would end up with something irremediable.
But what could he do?
Qu Yuebai was restless and looking at the crazy Mo Junyang, he gritted his teeth. Then he made every possible effort and advised, “Mo Junyang, Shi Qingxue would wake up sooner or later. Do you want her to find that her mother has been killed by you after she wakes up? Didn’t you say that she is your wife? Even if you don’t care, would you want her to be spat on because she marries her mother’s murderer…”
He shouted more loudly and wanted to awaken Mo Junyang.
But when he was speaking, he shrank back as Mo Junyang had no reaction.
“Jun…Junyang, are you alright?” Qu Yuebai stopped and looked at the unmoved Mo Junyang, trembling with fear.
Nobody knew which word of Qu Yuebai’s moved Mo Junyang, who loosened his grip unexpectedly. Dong Hui was like a kite losing its string and fell on the ground feebly, but nobody dared to help her up. They were afraid that if they offended the devil by accident, he would kill anybody.
After a long time, Mo Junyang’s eyes were not red anymore and returned dark as usual.
He turned to Qu Yuebai and asked gently with uncertainty, “She won’t die. She will wake up. Right?”
Qu Yuebai got nervous and soon calmed down, looking at Mo Junyang, with a complicated expression in his eyes.
Perhaps he should feel lucky. As long as Shi Qingxue wouldn’t die, Mo Junyang wouldn’t go crazy and everything could be under control.
So he nodded seriously and answered firmly, “Yes, Shi Qingxue will stay alive for sure.”
Mo Junyang went silent again. After quite a while, he looked at the people from the Shi Family and said indifferently, “Get out of here. I don’t want to kill you now.”
He was so conceited and willful, but at the moment, nobody would be silly as to provoke his patience again.
Shi Junhe supported his badly injured body. He and Wenren Chi who helped Dong Hui looked at each other and led their people to walk back with a tacit understanding.
When Qu Yuebai felt lucky that it would come to an end soon, Dong Hui who came back to reality from the shadow of death suddenly shook off Wenren Chi and stood in front of Mo Junyang again. Her eyes were resolute. “I don’t care. If you don’t let my Baoning go today, I won’t leave here until death.”
Qu Yuebai was speechless. He felt nervous again and stared at Mo Junyang subconsciously, afraid that the devil would go ballistic again.
At the same time, he complained about Dong Hui in his heart.
“Fuck! If you want to show your braveness, please find another place to die a hero’s death. Why would you die in King Rui’s mansion?”
Something beyond everybody’s expectation happened.
Hearing Dong Hui’s words, Mo Junyang didn’t get angry, even with no emotional fluctuation on his handsome poker face.
He looked at Dong Hui silently. When all people thought he was going to lose his temper, he waved at a guard next to him. “Go to the prison and bring the two women.”
Qu Yuebai was astonished and his jaw almost dropped.
The people from the Shi Family were overjoyed and their eyes lit up.
Mo Junyang actually changed his mind and would let them go. It was a pleasant surprise better than a pie from the sky.
Qu Yuebai’s astonishment turned into worry. “Junyang, are you all right?”
It was said that if he wouldn’t explode in silence, he would go crazy silently.
Just now Mo Junyang wanted to explode, but he failed, so Qu Yuebai was worried that his master would go crazy.
Mo Junyang’s face relaxed suddenly and he even smiled at Qu Yuebai. “You are right. Qingxue is still alive. I should be nice to her relatives.”
He loved Qingxue, so he loved her family?
When Qu Yuebai was about to heave a sigh of relief, the other man continued unhurriedly, “Anyway, they can’t escape, right?”
The people from the Shi Family kept quiet.
Qu Yuebai trembled for no reason. Although Mo Junyang told the truth, why did he feel like his master took all people from the Shi Family as the prey kept in the backyard and could kill them as he liked?
Young Master Qu wanted to cry.
Fortunately, the guards who went to bring the two girls from the prison finished the job soon, and Shi Baoning and Shi Baoyou came back unharmed to their parents.
It made the Shi Family fear less. At least, they could go back home now.
Dong Hui got her daughter back and hugged Shi Baoning, crying for a while. Then she couldn’t wait to go back, but this time, Shi Junhe and Wenren Chi hesitated.
“Junhe, Chi, why don’t you go?” All people looked at the two in doubt.
Shi Junhe glanced at Dong Hui in disbelief and then turned to Mo Junyang, saying awkwardly, “Your Excellency, since you let Baoning and Baoyou go, please allow Qingxue to return home with us.”
Qu Yuebai heard that and wanted to curse.
“The people from the Shi Family are greedy. Aren’t they afraid that they would be in trouble?”
However, Dong Hui seemed unaware and thought she had frightened Mo Junyang, so she stood in front of him like before, with her hands on her hips, and said arrogantly, “Correct. Duke Shi’s mansion is Qingxue’s home. She needs to go back home, too.”
She still ordered, but perhaps Mo Junyang was horrible to her, so she cleverly said that Shi Qingxue needed to go back home to resist the upcoming attack.
Just as what all people felt lucky about, Mo Junyang didn’t lose his temper but smiled at Dong Hui.
“Madam Shi, aren’t you too greedy?”
Dong Hui felt restless and pretended calm. “Qingxue is also my daughter, so I will take her back home, too.”
“Yes?” Mo Junyang responded carelessly and then asked, “If I say that you can take only one away between the two, what choice would you make?”
“What do you mean?”
Mo Junyang glanced at Shi Baoning who was trembling in Wenren Chi’s arms and then leered at Dong Hui with a faint smile. “Didn’t you say that they are both your daughters? But I permit you to take only one away.
Qingxue, or Shi Baoning. Who will you choose?”
Dong Hui stiffened.
“Your Excellency!” Qu Yuebai glanced at Mo Junyang disapprovingly.
The choice was too cruel for a mother.
Mo Junyang ignored him and waited for a while but Dong Hui didn’t answer. Then he looked at Shi Junhe and asked with a smile, “If Madam Shi can’t make a decision, I can let the decisive General Shi make the choice.”
Shi Junhe’s face was ghastly pale and he refused Mo Junyang’s “kindness” without thinking, grunting, “Your Excellency, since you know they are both my daughters, you should know that I won’t make the choice.”
“If you don’t, you might take neither of them away.” Mo Junyang set a difficult question and didn’t care that he broke his promise.
Of course, nobody dared to stand out and criticize him.
Shi Junhe’s eyes were deep and he was firm. “Even if you kill me, I won’t make the choice.”
Mo Junyang tut-tutted and declared with pity, “I am afraid that the ladies of your family…”
“No!” Dong Hui hurriedly interrupted Mo Junyang and shouted, “I choose Baoning. Let us go.”
“What are you talking about? How can we…” Shi Junhe stopped Dong Hui in surprise and couldn’t even finish his words.
But Dong Hui’s face was calmer than before, as if it was set in stone and she repeated her words. At the same time, she looked up and said with threat and warning, “Your Excellency, please keep your word and let us go.”
“Of course I will keep my word.”
Mo Junyang laughed and meanwhile raised his brows, looking at Shi Junhe. He didn’t look away until the older man’s face turned red.
He said slowly, “But I am curious. If Qingxue knows that her mother chose her sister without hesitation who hurt her, what would she feel? She cares about her mother most and could even hand out the token granted by the Emperor to give her a chance of survival. It was given by Elder Duke Shi.”
When he mentioned the past, Dong Hui’s heart was filled with guilt, but as she found that Shi Baoning looked at her with vulnerable eyes, she got tough immediately.
She didn’t do anything wrong.
No matter how much Shi Qingxue had done for her, when nobody knew if she was alive, Dong Hui had to choose Shi Baoning.
Moreover, Mo Junyang was here and wouldn’t let Shi Qingxue suffer.
Dong Hui didn’t realize that she pinned the hope about Shi Qingxue’s life on their “enemy” but thought as a mother, she should protect the weaker. In a sense, it was the real betrayal.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Dong Hui was frightened and moved a few steps backward. Then she bumped into Shi Junhe and finally stood steadily.
But Mo Junyang’s eyes with killing intent were like a pair of invisible hands and grabbed Dong Hui’s neck, which made her unable to make a sound or even move.
