Zhou Ruyu and Shi Baoyan could say nothing and just looked at Shi Qingxue in despair.
They hadn’t expected that with so solid evidence, Shi Qingxue could still turn the table, as if she had been prepared and waited for them to fall into her trap.
Shi Baoyan immediately “realized” that everything must be Shi Qingxue’s plan. She intentionally showed her slip and planned to change the situation when they came to tell on her, with a purpose to embarrass them and make Shi Junhe hate Shi Baoyan.
Shi Qingxue was so mean.
Shi Baoyan imagined and went to extremes while thinking, so she hated Shi Qingxue more.
Especially when Shi Junhe asked what else they could say, Shi Baoyan gritted her teeth and glared at Shi Qingxue secretly for several times.
Shi Qingxue pretended that she didn’t see that and didn’t give them a chance to speak. She said that Dong Hui was unwell and needed to rest quietly, so she kicked out the outsiders.
There were only Shi Junhe, Shi Baoning and Shi Qingxue left in the room.
“Qingxue, I am sorry. I got you wrong!” Shi Baoning restrained her ashamed feeling and apologized.
Shi Qingxue stared at Shi Baoning for a long time and still couldn’t shake off the uncomfortable feeling. She asked Shi Baoning, “Did I offend you?”
Shi Baoning was stunned and then turned away, explaining in a hurry, “What are you talking about? I just saw that you made Mother so angry that she went into a coma, so I was anxious and impulsive. It’s my fault. I apologize to you.”
Shi Baoning never hesitated to apologize, and she spoke much more sincerely than Shi Baoyan and the others, but…
Some mistakes couldn’t be corrected by an apology, and some injuries couldn’t be cured by an apology.
Shi Qingxue stayed silent for quite a while. At last she expressed her forgiveness simply.
“It’s all right.”
Her voice was indifferent and distant. It was forgiveness, but expressed some other meanings.
Shi Baoning noticed that. She wanted to make it up for her sister, but seeing Shi Qingxue’s cold expression, the same as Shi Junhe’s, she was embarrassed and couldn’t say a word. She just had to escape.
“I am going to see if Mother has woken up. I will tell her the truth, and she wouldn’t be mad anymore.”
Afterward she left hurriedly, as if a ghost were chasing her from behind.
Shi Junhe sighed after seeing that and comforted Qingxue, “Don’t blame Baoning. She…has her own difficulties.”
His comforting words made Shi Qingxue’s eyes become red, but she still restrained her urge to cry. She bit her lips stubbornly and didn’t show her weakness or hypocritically say that she forgave her sister.
She just looked at Shi Junhe and prevented her tears from falling.
Shi Junhe certainly understood Qingxue’s grievance, but he knew better than anybody why Shi Baoning treated her like this.
He couldn’t help but think that if he had noticed Wenren Chi’s grudge and dealt with it earlier, Wenren Chi would only want to marry Shi Qingxue, and the two sisters might have fewer misunderstandings.
But it might not be like what he imagined.
If Shi Baoning couldn’t marry the man she loved, she might hate Shi Qingxue as a result.
Alas, love was so torturing.
“Fine! I don’t want to mention this matter again, but I have to tell you something,” Shi Junhe stated seriously.
Shi Qingxue responded, “I am all ears.”
Shi Junhe paused for a second and seemed to look for proper words. Later he finally continued in a deep voice, “I don’t want to interfere in your relationship with His Excellency. I know your moral quality and you won’t do anything to embarrass our family, but…
“Qingxue, people will talk! You should take today’s issue as a warning. Although you managed to get out of danger and make them shut up, they wouldn’t give up easily.
“So I hope that you can be cautious when doing anything in the future. Try not to be set up or give others a chance to comment on you.”
“Father, do you want to say that a gentleman should stay away from danger?” Shi Qingxue chuckled, and obviously, she listened to her father’s advice carefully.
Shi Junhe nodded. “Exactly. The people of our country are open-minded and allow the young men and women to choose their future spouses, but the marriage should be granted by the elders, with a matchmaker’s introduction and betrothal gifts from the man. The formal process should be needed.
“Remember that it is always unadvisable to have sex before marriage! If His Excellency wants to marry you, and you want to marry him, he should tell his family to ask a matchmaker to send our family betrothal gifts. If he is a gentleman, he shouldn’t have almost ruined your fame repeatedly.”
In the past, Shi Qingxue couldn’t endure being taught, but she knew that Shi Junhe said that just for her own good, so she didn’t feel bored but was happy.
She smiled at Shi Junhe and expressed casually, “Father, rest assured. I won’t see Mo Junyang these days. Don’t worry that those people would trip me up.”
“What?” Shi Junhe was astonished and then asked anxiously, “What do you mean? You won’t see him? Did you have a quarrel with Mo Junyang? Did he bully you? Is he going to…”
Abandon her!
“Father!” Shi Qingxue instantly interrupted Shi Junhe’s guess in case that he misunderstood more as he thought.
Seeing that her father still looked unhappy, she had to explain again, “It’s not like what you imagined. It’s my proposal that I wouldn’t see Mo Junyang. I have just recovered and need time to think about the future.”
“Really?” Shi Junhe was still doubtful.
Shi Qingxue nodded hurriedly. “Really. Think about it. I am so smart. If I was bullied, I would take revenge, no need others to tell me. How would I swallow insult secretly?”
Hearing Qingxue’s unexpected explanation, Shi Junhe thought it was true, but he was unable either to laugh or to cry. He had to say, “Fine. You have your own idea. I won’t mind your business.”
Shi Qingxue grinned at once and replied sweetly, “Don’t worry. I won’t let you down.”
“Hmm!” Shi Junhe had confidence in Shi Qingxue in this aspect.
He didn’t bother about this matter but told her, “You were not at home yesterday, so the invitation from the third princess’ mansion was sent to me.”
“Yuzhen? Is she married?” A princess would have a mansion only after marriage, so Shi Qingxue asked, but she remembered that Mo Yuzhen was unmarried.
Shi Junhe knew her forgetfulness and simply told her about Mo Yuzhen’s news. Then he asked, “Will you see her?”
Shi Qingxue took it for granted and nodded. Then she asked in surprise, “Why not? Have you forgotten that Yuzhen is my best friend?”
“Eh…” Shi Junhe realized why Mo Yuzhen suddenly sent an invitation after losing contact with Qingxue for so long.
But he didn’t plan to explain so much to Qingxue. He just reminded her briefly, “Go if you want to. Anyway, be careful at any time.”
Mo Yuzhen invited the noble ladies in the capital to enjoy the scenery of the Moon Lake. She did that in order to entertain Zhao Niaoniao, the princess of the Zhao Country from afar as well as to keep a good relationship with the noble families for the third prince, Mo Junjiu as usual.
Shi Qingxue felt that she hadn’t seen Mo Yuzhen for a long time, so that day, she told Xia Mang to make preparations and went to the Moon Lake early. As a result, Mo Yuzhen was scared when she saw Qingxue.
“Yuzhen, did you miss me?” Shi Qingxue rushed to Mo Yuzhen and hugged her neck while laughing, like a spoiled child.
Mo Yuzhen hadn’t enjoyed Shi Qingxue’s closeness for long and got stiffened. She stood there blankly and didn’t move or respond to her.
Shi Qingxue said a few words and then found something wrong. So she stood straight and looked at Mo Yuzhen in confusion. “What’s wrong with you? Are you unhappy?”
“No. No,” Mo Yuzhen denied in a hurry.
Maybe the feeling of regaining something that was lost was too strong, and it took her a long time to confirm that it was the reality, not her illusion.
At the same time, Mo Yuzhen confirmed that she wanted Shi Qingxue’s friendship.
Seeing the doubt on Shi Qingxue’s face, Mo Yuzhen changed the subject in an instant. “It’s great that you came so early. I am worried that nobody would help me prepare for the activity.”
Shi Qingxue looked at the servants behind her and felt surprised. “Don’t you always tell the servants to do these things? Why do you want to prepare by yourself?”
“Huh. My brother insists that I should invite Zhao Niaoniao. What can I do?” Mo Yuzhen stated scornfully.
“Prince Junjiu?” Shi Qingxue was astonished and then understood instantly.
Mo Junjiu still didn’t have a wife.
Mo Yuzhen blinked at Shi Qingxue and laughed meaningfully. “You know that, and I won’t explain. Anyway, you hurry up and help me. You have good taste and the decoration you arrange can surely satisfy Zhao Niaoniao.”
Shi Qingxue shrugged helplessly and responded, “I am afraid that I will disappoint you this time.”
“Ah?”
“Eh… I have seen the princess from the Zhao Country for only twice and parted in discord every time. Do you think she will enjoy the dinner party arranged by me?” Shi Qingxue explained casually.
And there was something important. For example, the rumor that Zhao Niaoniao loved Mo Junyang and once wanted to marry him had spread in the capital long ago, so it was unnecessary for her to say more.
Mo Yuzhen patted her forehead and said with annoyance, “How can I forget that?”
She mumbled crossly, “It’s my brother’s fault. Perhaps he wants to…” He wanted to take the throne so badly, so he considered marrying Zhao Niaoniao to get the support from the Zhao Country, but she had fallen in love with somebody else.
No matter how hard she tried, it would be in vain.
Mo Yuzhen was in low spirits, and Shi Qingxue couldn’t bear to see that, saying after thinking for a while, “Hmm, if His Highness really wants, maybe he can start with Prince Haoran.
“Tell you a secret. Prince Haoran loves his sister very much and distains His Excellency Zhao Niaoniao loves.”
Mo Yuzhen got the important information but didn’t feel overjoyed. Instead, she looked at Shi Qingxue in confusion and asked, “Don’t you dislike my brother? Why…do you help him?”
“Ah?”
Obviously, Shi Qingxue also just realized this point and got dumbfounded for a minute. Then she grabbed Mo Yuzhen’s arm and smiled calmly. “Hmm, I really don’t like your brother, but you are my best friend. How can I let you down?
“Well, anyway it’s still early now. Even if I help you prepare for the party, nobody would know as long as we don’t tell anybody. Let’s get started…”
Qingxue didn’t give Mo Yuzhen time to be in a daze but energetically went with her to check what they would need for the activities.
