At last, Dong Hui returned to Duke Shi’s mansion.
Leng Yan who made a scene in the East House disappeared at the wedding night, and all the servants carefully concealed mentioning it.
It seemed that this thing never happened.
The next day after Dong Hui returned to the mansion, some servants fished up a maid’s dead body from the well behind the Shou’an Hall. After an identification, it was the maid Rou’er who had lived with Leng Yan.
She died for no reason, and all her body was white and hot after being soaked in the well water. It looked quite scary.
There were gossips in the mansion gradually that the geomantic omen of the room where Leng Yan and Rou’er lived was bad and it took people’s lives, so the two people who lived there disappeared or died.
The rumor spread that there were ghosts in the mansion, but soon other gossips replaced it.
“Qingxue, Rou’er was…” Shi Baojing hadn’t expected that a living person passed away in only a few days.
Although Mo Shujun said to the public that it was just an accident, it happened all of a sudden and shocked people. Why it was Rou’er that had an accident, not anybody else?
Shi Baojing had a horrible thought flashing in her brain and looked at Shi Qingxue nervously.
Shi Qingxue also looked serious and cold. After a long while, she shook her head and stated in a deep voice, “I don’t know. Even if…she won’t leave the evidence against her.”
How did she forget that with Mo Shujun’s character, she would wipe out the source of trouble?
Even though she could do nothing to Leng Yan who was hidden, she wouldn’t allow Rou’er, a nobody to betray her and live well in front of her.
Mo Shujun was always good at punishing someone as a warning to others.
Shi Baojing still could hardly believe it and murmured after a long time, “No way? Rou’er didn’t know anything. How could Grandma…
She is too merciless.”
“In order to protect her most loved son, what can’t she do?”
Since Mo Shujun agreed to break up the family and go to the Dong family’s mansion to bring Dong Hui back in order to protect Shi Juncai, Shi Qingxue had known more about this doting mother.
As long as she could do good to Shi Juncai, this princess royal could ignore any rule.
Shi Baojing wanted to retort, but she opened and shut her mouth for a long time yet only made pointless sounds.
After a long while, she sighed gently at last and expressed with annoyance, “Even so, she killed somebody because of something insignificant, and she has gone too far even though Rou’er was just a maid.”
Shi Baojing was merely a concubine’s daughter and knew how difficult the fight among women was. If she was compassionate, she might make herself fall into the abyss beyond redemption, so how would she be soft-hearted?
However, Mo Shujun didn’t need to be like this.
Rou’er did reveal Mo Shujun’s evil deeds in her confession, but the evidence was too weak and couldn’t defeat the princess royal.
Mo Shujun did so much just for Shi Juncai.
“Gee, what great maternal love.”
Shi Qingxue taunted and commented coldly.
“Shall we need to do anything? After all, Grandma has killed Rou’er, and then perhaps Leng Yan…” They could have mutual noninterference with the Shou’an Hall and the third master’s family because they had Leng Yan in hands. The unborn baby was the wonderful evidence, and they couldn’t let Mo Shujun kill Leng Yan.
Shi Qingxue patted Shi Baojing’s shoulder and finally showed a relieved smile. She replied casually, “Don’t need to worry about it. There will be nothing wrong with Leng Yan. But now I have a more important job.”
“What?” Shi Baojing looked confused and sensitively noticed from Shi Qingxue’s sly smile that there was a scheme.
What trick did this girl figure out?
Mo Junhao sent a message and came to Duke Shi’s mansion in person, asking to see Mo Shujun.
It was greatly different from his secretive attitude in the past.
Mo Shujun also felt surprised, yet Mo Junhao was Shi Juncai’s backup in a sense, so she saw him.
“Princess Royal, nice to see you…”
In the beginning, Mo Junhao didn’t speak out his intention but just greeted Mo Shujun respectfully. And then he chatted with her for a long time.
He talked about everything and seemed to visit Mo Shujun specially.
Mo Shujun talked cheerfully with Mo Junhao about the history and the current situation while looking him up and down secretly. She pondered on the purpose of his visit.
Mo Shujun pondered for a long time yet couldn’t figure it out, and she prepared to think that he came to flatter her.
At the moment, Mo Junhao suddenly asked, “I heard that Duke Shi plans to break up the family with his brothers?”
Mo Shujun’s dignified and serious expression stiffened. She was astonished and nervous, but soon she returned normal.
She denied it with justice. “Junhao, where did you hear of such nonsense? I am still alive. How would we break up the family? Did some idle people make irresponsible remarks behind my back and slander the Shi family with evil intentions?”
Mo Shujun was methodical in speech, as if it were true.
However, in her heart, she cursed the bastard who spread the news.
Humph! It must be Shi Qingxue and the others again. In order to force her to break up the family, they even spread the scandal everywhere, as if they could gain more profits.
“So what I have heard is false?” Mo Junhao frowned slightly.
He looked at Mo Shujun meaningfully.
Mo Shujun was guilty but controlled herself, without avoiding Mo Junhao’s eyes. She gave him a positive answer. “Right.”
Next second, Mo Junhao pretended to be surprised, asking, “Gee? It’s surprising. Why did the third master tell me about this matter? Did he lie to me when he told me everything earlier?”
“What?” Mo Shujun shouted, ignoring her manners, and she couldn’t remain calm on her face anymore.
It was no joking matter. She tried hard to keep it a secret because she didn’t hope that it would implicate others, but before she finished everything, Shi Juncai told somebody else about this matter.
She was so upset.
Mo Shujun wanted to beat up Shi Juncai right now, yet the reality didn’t allow her to.
She met Mo Junhao’s questioning eyes again and pretended to be calm, answering, “So what even if we break up the family? I will live with Juncai. With my support, would you refuse to help him?”
Since they said that, Mo Shujun was not in the mood to play the hypocrite but showed the temptation.
Shi Junhe’s identity was alluring indeed, but wasn’t the princess royal honorable?
She would help Shi Juncai snatch the title of Duke Shi sooner or later, and then her youngest son would be the most honorable.
However, the condition Mo Shujun offered was not presentable in Mo Junhao’s eyes.
He didn’t make it clear but stated cautiously, “Father deposed the third master’s official position in person then. Even if I want to help, I’m afraid that I can do nothing. Please forgive me, Princess Royal.”
Although he said that, both of them knew that if Mo Junhao really wanted to help Shi Juncai, it was a piece of cake to regain his official position.
Mo Shujun goggled with displeasure and snorted coldly. “Since you call Juncai ‘the third master’, anyway he is your elder. Is this the way you treat elders?”
Facing Mo Shujun’s “aggressive pressure”, Mo Junhao just pursed his lips and didn’t answer, yet this silent attitude made the old lady unable to do anything.
After all…
If Mo Junhao was really unwilling, she couldn’t point a gun at him and force him to agree.
“Humph! Don’t you just think that Juncai would have no bright future after losing the support from Duke Shi.”
Mo Shujun exactly spoke out what Mo Junhao worried about most. Seeing that he didn’t agree, she snorted. “Everybody says that the affairs of the world are inconstant. We don’t know who will be more capable in the future.”
Mo Junhao paused for a while and then smiled softly at Mo Shujun.
Afterward, he expressed unhurriedly, “Princess Royal, don’t be mad. It’s not that I am unwilling to help the third master, but…”
Hearing Mo Junhao’s words, Mo Shujun understood that he started to ask for profits.
She cursed Mo Junhao badly in her heart, yet after pondering for a moment, she suddenly stated, “I got a piece of news, and you must have never expected it. Even many people don’t know it, but it is related to the secret about who will take the throne in the future.”
“What?” Mo Junhao’s expression stiffened, and he gazed at Mo Shujun all of a sudden.
Then he softened again and said slowly, “I know well about your maternal love, but…”
“What? Do you think that I cheat you intentionally in order to help Juncai?” Mo Shujun sneered and accurately pointed out what Mo Junhao was thinking about.
Mo Junhao put on airs and kept silent.
However, Mo Shujun was more unhurried than him and even coldly told him to leave. “Since you don’t believe me, I have nothing to say. Prince Junhao, please go back home.”
She even called Mo Junhao’s title and began to kick him out.
She looked as if she was confident to win, which made Mo Junhao wonder if she really knew a secret that he didn’t know.
At this thought, Mo Junhao softened immediately and smiled at Mo Shujun flatteringly.
He didn’t ask directly but casually changed the subject. “Princess Royal, I heard that you asked Father to grant a marriage the other day?”
Mo Shujun hadn’t expected that Mo Junhao got the news as soon as she went to see Mo Xiangbin and the emperor hadn’t even told her if he agreed to let Shi Baoyou marry Mo Junhao as his side concubine.
Gee, this prince was really a good source of information.
“So what?” Mo Shujun was startled, yet she didn’t give in while speaking.
Instead, she continued coldly, “Do you want to tell me that you are even unwilling to take responsibility for Baoyou now?”
Mo Junhao didn’t dare to irritate Mo Shujun, so he answered hurriedly, “Of course not. I have promised to marry Baoyou, and I won’t break my word. Now you have helped me finish something important.”
“Humph!” Mo Shujun was in a bad mood as she had been “retorted” by Mo Junhao just now. She snorted coldly and then turned away, ignoring him.
Mo Junhao made persistent efforts and continued, “After Baoyou becomes my side concubine, the third master will be my father-in-law. Then it will be reasonable if I ask Father to help him.”
Hearing the other party mention Shi Juncai, Mo Shujun was finally tempted and turned to him, saying impassively, “Oh? So you are really willing to help Juncai.”
Mo Junhao smiled and expressed with a different attitude, “We are family and should help each other. Do you think so?”
He had given Mo Shujun a chance to make peace, so she took the opportunity.
She nodded and answered, “Right. We are family.”
“In this case, what you said just now…” Mo Junhao was nervous and couldn’t wait to ask.
He had a premonition that the secret Mo Shujun would reveal next would be shocking beyond his imagination.
