The father, General Shi was unable to reply.

 

Could he eat his words? He really wanted to beat this man to death who coveted his daughter so aboveboard and boldly.

 

Although Shi Junhe had been mentally prepared for the truth that his beloved daughter belonged to Mo Junyang partly, when he had to face this matter…

 

He felt sad and didn’t want to give out his daughter at all.

 

“Your Excellency, you suddenly told me about this. Are you sure that I will marry my daughter to you?” Shi Junhe asked in a cold and sharp voice.

 

Mo Junyang shook his head and looked modest.

 

But before Shi Junhe’s face softened, he heard the young man say slowly, “I am just sure that I will marry Qingxue.”

 

In another word, it didn’t matter if Shi Junhe agreed.

 

Shi Junhe was speechless.

 

Probably it was the first time for Shi Junhe to hear such a proposal without following the rules, and he couldn’t answer.

 

All the words he had prepared in his heart were useless.

 

General Shi was annoyed and amused. At last, he had to look at Shi Qingxue helplessly, asking while joking, “Now even your father can’t decide your marriage. I can only ask you. What do you think?”

 

Shi Qingxue was also petrified by Mo Junyang’s sudden proposal and didn’t react after a long while.

 

Shi Junhe directly dragged her into the center of the whirlpool.

 

“Father!” Shi Qingxue was shy and angry. She couldn’t answer Shi Junhe’s question.

 

Shi Junhe seemed not to notice his daughter’s shyness and continued to ask with interest, “Good girl, tell me. Will you marry him?”

 

Shi Qingxue glared at Shi Junhe. How could he force her to answer? No matter how bold and open-minded she was, this matter would test how thick-skinned she was.

 

“Oh, look at you. You don’t want to!” Shi Junhe thought that Shi Qingxue looked unhappy because she was dissatisfied with this marriage.

 

Before Qingxue answered him, he turned to Mo Junyang and pretended dumb, telling him, “I am sorry. My daughter doesn’t want to marry you.”

 

Shi Qingxue couldn’t speak a word.

 

However, Mo Junyang seemed not to understand Shi Junhe’s joke and suddenly turned to Qingxue.

 

He didn’t say anything, but his face and eyes showed that he was hurt.

 

He felt wronged to the extreme, as if Shi Qingxue did something unforgivable.

 

Shi Qingxue was speechless for a long time and at last, she couldn’t help but roll her eyes at the two “actors”, complaining, “It’s fine if you joke. You echo each other, and it seems that I am an immoral woman who abandons him.”

 

Perhaps Shi Junhe thought that it was not right to banter with his daughter, so he pretended to cough twice and then passed the buck. “I just follow His Excellency’s words.”

 

Mo Junyang saluted Shi Junhe and expressed respectfully, “General Shi, just call me Junyang.”

 

Shi Junhe was astonished and then sighed with emotion in secret. “Gee, it must be the best treatment I have got after I have known Mo Junyang for so long.”

 

But he thought that Mo Junyang was so respectful and modest in front of him and took him as his father-in-law.

 

General Shi felt sad and didn’t want to joke anymore.

 

He looked serious and asked, “Your E… Junyang, since you mentioned that, I won’t say something useless to you. I know you love Qingxue and you won’t abandon her after she marries you. But the marriage is never something about two people.

 

“Now you are in a high position and liable to be attacked. How would you ensure that Qingxue won’t suffer injustice after marrying you?”

 

In the beginning, Shi Qingxue felt shy because they suddenly discussed their marriage, and she hadn’t reacted. Then she heard that they talked about the family life after marriage.

 

It changed so fast!

 

But Mo Junyang got accustomed soon and looked serious, responding, “I will handle everything well. Qingxue just needs to rest assured and be the mistress in King Rui’s mansion.”

 

“The mistress of King Rui’s mansion…” Shi Junhe repeated in a low voice and an inexplicable and confused expression was shown on his solemn face.

 

Mo Junyang then promised as he thought Shi Junhe was worried, “And she is the only mistress. I will never marry anybody except her all my life.

 

“My love spreads and doesn’t change for two lives. If I break my promise, I will die miserably!”

 

Shi Qingxue couldn’t say anything.

 

She was scared by Mo Junyang’s sudden vow and then remembered that Mo Junyang didn’t marry for a lifetime after she died in the previous life.

 

She felt sad and didn’t hesitate if she should be reserved. She had nothing but this man on her mind.

 

She stood up and stared at Shi Junhe, saying seriously, “Father, I believe him. He won’t break his promise.”

 

Shi Junhe still didn’t give up and even rolled his eyes at her, rebuking her crossly, “You are going to marry him, so you certainly believe him.”

 

Shi Qingxue felt shy again and argued, “No. I just know that he won’t abandon me.”

 

Logically, she had been betrayed in the previous life and should understand the men’s cold-blooded character deeply. In fact, it was true. If another man swore that he would love one woman forever, she wouldn’t believe him.

 

Even her father Shi Junhe had to marry the fifth lady Shi Baoyan’s mother Kou Lian as his concubine under the pressure, and now Mo Shujun forced him to marry another concubine. He loved his wife so much, but he would be powerless sometimes.

 

Moreover, men were born to be dissolute.

 

However, everything was different when it was Mo Junyang. Shi Qingxue had confidence in this man.

 

Shi Junhe snorted. “You say that he won’t abandon you, but the heart is in his body. How can you be sure that his heart won’t change and he would love you forever?”

 

General Shi had seen many young couples who loved each other a lot when they were young, but as time went by, they hated and complained about each other.

 

Even he and Dong Hui still loved each other like before, but the storm and conflicts hidden in love couldn’t be ignored.

 

Shi Junhe was self-contradictory.

 

On one hand, he didn’t want to talk with Shi Qingxue about these problems. He hoped that his little daughter would keep her purity forever and wouldn’t get hurt.

 

On the other hand, he was clearer than anybody else that reality was cruel.

 

If they were not prepared in advance, once the disaster came, it would be like giant earthquakes and landslides.

 

Shi Junhe said seriously, but Shi Qingxue smiled all of a sudden.

 

Her smile was as bright as the sun.

 

She said to Shi Junhe, “There will be all kinds of possibilities and panic in the future, but shall we stop and refuse to move ahead because of that? What’s more…”

 

She raised her beautiful brows and glanced at the two men, smiling with confidence. “If I don’t have the ability to make my man unable to leave me, I won’t regret it even after I am abandoned miserably.”

 

“…Great, great!” Shi Junhe said the word twice successively, and his depression disappeared as a result.

 

Right, he should have confidence in his daughter.

 

Then he saw that because of Shi Qingxue’s few words, Mo Junyang showed a shocked expression on his face which was always emotionless and opened his thin lips slightly but didn’t make a sound for a long time.

 

Obviously he was moved by Qingxue’s trust.

 

In this case, how would Shi Junhe qualify to suspect their love?

 

“Fine.” Shi Junhe sighed in a low voice.

 

He sighed with emotion and relief. “A married daughter will be a member of another family. My daughter is still unmarried, but she helps another family now. What else can I say?”

 

He showed the signal of surrender.

 

Mo Junyang who was always calm and confident showed an overjoyed expression involuntarily after hearing that.

 

He was not calm anymore and his emotion could hardly be concealed.

 

He even seriously nodded at Shi Junhe to salute and promised again, “I won’t let you down.”

 

“Gee, don’t be so sure.”

 

Shi Junhe waved his hand first and made an agreement with Mo Junyang in advance. “If you treat Qingxue unfairly in the future, even though you are in the royal family and have much power, my family won’t give up because of that.”

 

Mo Junyang certainly agreed.

 

Shi Junhe finally smiled with relief and teased Shi Qingxue again. “It’s said that the child is the father of the man. No wonder before your grandpa passed away, he started to worry about your future husband. Do you still remember that when you were a child, you boasted without shame that you would be the most honorable woman in the world?”

 

Shi Qingxue was stunned and shy.

 

She said something so shameless when she was a child?

 

“Otherwise, why did we name your residence Luotong Boudoir when we gave it to you?” Shi Junhe laughed helplessly.

 

The phenix would only stay in a phoenix tree (Wutong).

 

Qingxue was favored in the Shi family and was ambitious when she was young. At that time, all people in the family thought that she would marry Mo Junhao in the future, and Mo Xiangbin favored Mo Junhao so much, so she would surely be the empress at last.

 

Even though Shi Junhe and his wife didn’t want Shi Qingxue to marry Mo Junhao, they didn’t stop her.

 

Shi Qingxue was dumbfounded this time and couldn’t speak a word.

 

It was because she seemed to remember what she had said when she was a child, more than what Shi Junhe had mentioned earlier, and there were many things that she had forgotten.

 

The unhappy memories made her look terrible.

 

“What’s wrong?” Shi Junhe just joked, but Qingxue’s behavior made him unable to react all at once.

 

Shi Qingxue just shook her head and didn’t want to say more.

 

Mo Junyang guessed something and maintained his composure, helping Qingxue answer the question. “Qingxue has just woken up and so many things happened. She is tired and needs to have a rest. Please forgive her.”

 

Shi Junhe raised his head to glance at Mo Junyang, annoyed by his random excuse. It was obvious that he told a lie and didn’t plan to hide it from Shi Junhe.

 

But just his honesty made Shi Junhe unable to ask more.

 

“Forget it. I don’t want to mind your business. If you have nothing to say, just go back first.” Shi Junhe had a lot of troublesome things and didn’t have time to guess what these young people were thinking about.

 

Shi Qingxue was in low spirits. After saying goodbye, she walked out with Mo Junyang.

 

As soon as they walked to the door, Shi Junhe called them.

 

They looked back at the same time, and Shi Junhe stated seriously, “Qingxue, you are still a member of the Shi family now.”

 

“Hmm?” Shi Qingxue didn’t understand why her father said that all of a sudden.

 

Shi Junhe added in all earnestness, “You need to go back home when it’s getting dark.”

 

Shi Qingxue was speechless.

 

General Shi who had the experience showed that he could understand that the young people would forget time when they were in love, but before marriage, they should restrain themselves, in case that others commented on them.

 

He pointed out seriously, “At least you should be less close and can’t stay out at night.”

 

Shi Qingxue blushed and shouted hurriedly, “Father, I won’t talk with you!”

 

She felt extremely embarrassed and ran away.

 

But Mo Junyang was still calm and nodded at Shi Junhe to cooperate with him, answering, “General, please don’t worry. I will send Qingxue back before the night of curfew.”

 

He meant that he wouldn’t part with Shi Qingxue so soon.

 

Shi Junhe couldn’t reply.

 

The general felt depressed and watched Mo Junyang taking Shi Qingxue away from their mansion again.
