Mo Junyang dragged Shi Qingxue backward and then said seriously, “Let’s get to business.”

Shi Qingxue was confused.

Shi Junhe was shocked.

Huh! He knew that Mo Junyang was just jealous and even Qingxue’s father wasn’t allowed to touch her.

Mo Junyang ignored Shi Junhe’s glare and asked impassively, “General Shi, what’s your plan?”

At the mention of this, the future father-in-law, Shi Junhe who prepared to be arrogant was frustrated immediately.

He shook his head helplessly. “Probably Mother wants to ruin both sides this time. If I refuse her decisively, I am afraid that…”

Although Shi Junhe loved his daughter and wouldn’t force Qingxue to marry Mo Junhao, he couldn’t stand by and watch Mo Shujun ruin Dong Hui’s fame.

Even though Dong Hui asked for everything.

Hearing that, Shi Qingxue sniffled and cautiously glanced at Shi Junhe. She wanted to say something but stopped herself.

“Come on. Ask what you want to!” Shi Junhe goggled at her crossly.

He cursed secretly, “Good girl, you are skilled in pretending. You are curious, but you don’t ask, and you still pretend to be pitiful in front of me.”

The father who loved his daughter unconditionally felt depressed.

Shi Qingxue hurriedly smiled sweetly. “I just care about you.”

Shi Junhe rolled his eyes and snorted. “I can see that you are curious and want to ask what happened between your mother and Master Yan, right?”

Ah? He guessed right.

Shi Qingxue couldn’t conceal her emotions in front of the people she was close to, and panic was shown on her face as she was seen through.

Shi Junhe didn’t want to wait for her reply and gave her the answer directly. “You call Yan Lü master and he is your maternal grandpa’s student. Your grandpa is a famous Confucian scholar in the world and has many students. Yan Lü is one of the top ones and stays with your grandpa, studying hard. And your mother is your grandpa’s only daughter and grew up at home since childhood, so she became a talented girl as she was influenced by what she constantly saw and heard.

“Since she just came of age, she was famous in the whole capital city and many men wanted to marry her.”

Talking about the story, Shi Junhe showed a smile of nostalgia on his face involuntarily.

Hearing that he praised Dong Hui but didn’t come to the point, Shi Qingxue flattered him in time. “Father, you are awesome. So many people wanted to marry Mother, but she loves you only and didn’t spare a glance for anybody else.”

Shi Junhe knew that Qingxue flattered him, but he still couldn’t help showing a happy smile on his face.

After a while, he finally tightened his face and snorted. “Don’t flatter me. Don’t think that after you say that, what happened between your mother and Yan Lü would be ignored.”

“Uh…” Shi Qingxue got embarrassed at once and didn’t know what to say. She secretly waved at Mo Junyang for help.

Then Mo Junyang asked, “What’s the special point of Yan Lü?”

Hearing the voice, Shi Junhe realized that Mo Junyang was also present.

He glanced at Mo Junyang and then frowned, but soon he felt relieved.

He didn’t take Mo Junyang as an outsider and sighed before saying directly, “Yan Lü is different to Hui indeed. He is much older than her. Perhaps…”

Shi Junhe wanted to take an example, and his eyes happened to fall on Shi Qingxue.

He glanced at Qingxue with curiosity in her eyes and then looked at Mo Junyang who was as calm as usual.

An evil thought arose in his heart in secret.

He looked at Mo Junyang meaningfully but said to Qingxue on purpose, “Perhaps it’s like the relationship between you and Chi. Yan Lü also watched Hui grow up and took care of her since her childhood.”

As soon as he finished his words, Shi Junhe saw that the expression in Mo Junyang’s eyes changed, and the coldness was obvious, but because Shi Qingxue was present, he had to control himself.

There was nothing more depressing than this, right?

General Shi thought with satisfaction.

Unexpectedly, Shi Qingxue didn’t understand Shi Junhe’s hint. She was “suddenly enlightened” and said, “I see. No wonder Mother is so close to Master Yan. It turns out that he is kind of her elder brother.”

Compared with the two disappointing sons in the Dong family, Yan Lü was excellent.

Shi Qingxue thought that she knew the relationship between Dong Hui and Yan Lü. She nodded and meanwhile showed disdain on her red face, snorting. “Those people are so dirty. Mother and Master Yan are sister and brother and close to each other. It’s no big deal to see each other, but they said like that, and I…”

She stuck out her tongue in embarrassment and felt ashamed because she misunderstood her mother.

Shi Junhe and Mo Junyang looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other’s eyes.

They could do nothing as Shi Qingxue automatically thought of her relationship with Wenren Chi, or their relationship in her eyes, so she certainly thought that the relationship between Dong Hui and Yan Lü was perfectly clean.

Only they themselves knew the truth.

At least, as for this issue, Dong Hui couldn’t be as open-hearted as Shi Qingxue.

“Fine, let’s stop talking about this matter.” Shi Junhe thought that and suddenly lost his interest in talking. He waved his hand and forcefully ended this subject.

Then he looked at Mo Junyang. “That’s it. Do you have a solution, Junyang?”

Mo Junyang pondered for a while and then said impassively, “I will quote Princess Royal’s words. I do have a solution, but it depends on whether you will use it.”

Hearing that, Shi Junhe guessed that the so-called solution must be not simple.

He had no choice but to ask, “Say it.”

When Mo Junyang was about to speak, there was a knock at the study’s door.

Shi Junhe made a gesture of stop and shouted to the outside, “What’s up? Come in and say it.”

The person guarding outside was his personal servant Shi Jie. If there was nothing important, he wouldn’t knock at the door, so Shi Junhe told him to come in.

Shi Jie looked anxious and walked to Shi Junhe, whispering in his ear. Then he stood straight and asked, “My Lord, the person is just outside now. Will you see him?”

“Why did he come here?” Shi Junhe was confused about this guest’s sudden visit.

Shi Jie shook his head and answered in a low voice, “He didn’t tell me. He just asked to see you.”

Shi Junhe pondered for a while and then nodded. “Okay. Tell him to wait in the living room. I will come later.”

After Shi Jie left, Shi Junhe turned to Mo Junyang and asked, “What is the solution you mentioned just now? Tell me.”

He would see another guest.

“No need, because…the solution has come to us,” Mo Junyang replied slowly.

In order to prevent Zhou Ruyu’s scandal from influencing her beloved son’s fame, Mo Shujun chose to keep it a secret, but Shi Qingxue forced her, so she had to deal with Zhou Ruyu.

In the end, she just locked up Zhou Ruyu in the South House and forbid her to go out. What eyes did not see was regarded as clean.

However, Shi Juncai detested Zhou Ruyu to the bone, especially when he saw that after she was locked up, she didn’t give up but incited Shi Baoyou to ask for mercy for her.

He couldn’t help but snort with disdain. “Don’t you think that you are disgraced after doing something dirty? Mother didn’t tell me to divorce you, and she is kind enough. You even want her to let you out? Stop daydreaming. You just be good and stay here for a lifetime.”

They had been a couple for many years, and Shi Juncai accurately knew what Zhou Ruyu feared most.

Didn’t she want to compete with Dong Hui all the time? Now she was locked up in the South House, and there was no the third madam in Duke Shi’s mansion, so wouldn’t she be depressed to death?

As expected, Zhou Ruyu’s expression changed dramatically, and she was about to lose temper, but she controlled herself and then sneered.

“What’s your good? Aren’t you suspended and staying at home? I knew that you are afraid of death, but I didn’t expect that you became a deserter on the battlefield. You are so disgraced.”

Shi Juncai was satirized and blushed. He shouted at Zhou Ruyu in a rage, “Woman, what do you know? I just recuperated and built up energy to wait for an opportunity so that I can capture all of them in the future. This is a military tactic…”

“Right! Your military tactic made you lose your official position. You are so awesome!”

Zhou Ruyu repeatedly said that Shi Juncai lost his official position, which injured his wound and made him almost explode. He slapped Zhou Ruyu in her face without mercy and cursed, “Shut up! F**k! You are shameless and don’t qualify to mind my business.”

Zhou Ruyu was beaten and fell on the floor seriously. Her cheek got red and swollen instantly.

Shi Baoyou hurriedly rushed up and supported Zhou Ruyu. Meanwhile, she begged, “Father, Mother, stop fighting! We are a family. Why do you quarrel?”

“Who is his family?” Zhou Ruyu covered her face and spat at the floor, saying with disgust, “You are both descendants of the Shi family. Your big brother can hold his ground and protect his wife, but what about you? What did you do? There is no outsider here. Don’t pretend that you know nothing. Sometimes I met my cousin Shi, and didn’t you go with me shamelessly? Why did you say nothing then? Didn’t you want to cotton up to Shi hoping that you can get promoted and richer?”

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Shi Juncai was exposed and couldn’t help but rush to Zhou Ruyu again.

He grabbed Zhou Ruyu’s hair and knocked her head on the floor, cursing ferociously, “Bitch, if you speak recklessly again, I will skin you.”

Zhou Ruyu didn’t surrender and scratched Shi Juncai’s face with her palm, leaving a long blood stain on his cheek. Then she spat blood on the floor and disdained him. “Shi Juncai, I am not a woman with no title who can let you play with her. If you dare to beat me, I will fight against you till death.”

“Just fight. I will beat you to death today!”

Shi Juncai wiped his face and rushed to Zhou Ruyu again to punch and kick her.

Shi Baoyou was forced to step aside while they were fighting. She was shocked and sad, but she couldn’t stop their fight, so she had to cry powerlessly, “Father! Father, stop beating Mother. Don’t beat her…”

But Shi Juncai didn’t stop, and nobody could persuade him.

Seeing that Shi Juncai wanted to beat Zhou Ruyu to death, she couldn’t control herself anymore and rushed up to stand between them.

She begged in tears. “Father, stop. If you continue, Mother would be beaten to death!”

Shi Baoyou’s beautiful face was filled with tears, and she cried pitifully.

No matter how selfish Shi Juncai was, he couldn’t bear to see that his beloved daughter was so sorrowful.

He stopped and took two steps backward. Then he glared at Zhou Ruyu whose face was full of blood and warned silently, “If you dare to talk nonsense in front of my daughter, I will kill you.”

Shi Juncai was Shi Baoyou’s gentle father. He turned around to comfort her. “Baoyou, stop crying. I was just angry. I won’t beat her. Don’t cry anymore.”

Perhaps he had never done something like this, and he was not skilled in it. He made his concern strange.

But after hearing that, Shi Baoyou was moved and then blinked her tearful eyes, nodding at Shi Juncai.

She turned her head to beg Zhou Ruyu. “Mother, don’t get mad at Father. Just be soft to give in and let it pass!”

Shi Baoyou wanted to patch up the quarrel and reconcile the parties concerned, but Zhou Ruyu was unwilling to.

Zhou Ruyu was stubborn, and she had been beaten by Shi Juncai. How would she endure it?

She got up from the floor all of a sudden.
