After hearing Shi Junhe’s words, Dong Hui realized it but still thought that there was something wrong. “It was in the past, and nobody is sure about it now. Moreover, judging from the way they stay together, even if the people concerned don’t notice it, others can find something amiss, as it is improper.”

Shi Junhe stayed silent for a moment, admitting that it was the truth.

Sometimes, even if the people involved didn’t have the feelings, it was helpless that gossip was fearful.

Shi Junhe knew this point, yet when it happened to Shi Qingxue and his beloved daughter should take the consequence, he could hardly accept it.

“Alas. Even so, you can’t drive Qingxue to the family temple. Even if she goes to a villa in the capital city, the environment will be much better than that in the family temple.” At the thought of the poor environment of the family temple and Qingxue who had been spoilt since childhood, Shi Junhe couldn’t bear to see it even though he knew that the girl could bear hardships.

“But in that case, we will have no reason, and if the news spreads, others will gossip.” Dong Hui subconsciously spoke out the real reason.

However, she saw that Shi Junhe’s expression changed in an instant, so she hurriedly shut up as she realized that she might have said something wrong.

Shi Junhe’s face was terrible-looking, and he asked in an angry tone, “Is people’s gossip more important than your daughter to you?”

Dong Hui was speechless after hearing the question.

Although she knew that it was not right, she was fed up with the others’ groundless talk. Shi Junhe had never attended the noble ladies’ parties, so he didn’t know how unpleasant to hear the gossip was, but she didn’t want to hear for the second time.

Moreover, she still thought that Shi Qingxue was wrong in this matter, so when she made the decision, her choice was understandable.

However, after Shi Junhe said that, Dong Hui still felt embarrassed and couldn’t find a word to retort.

So she turned away in silence, without looking at Shi Junhe.

Anyway, it was set in stone, and Qingxue had gone to the family temple, so no matter what Shi Junhe said, it was useless.

Shi Junhe was amused by Dong Hui’s rascally action. He was mad yet could do nothing to her.

He didn’t dare to say anything harsh to her. If Dong Hui was irritated and there was something wrong with her, he would regret it.

Duke Shi could do nothing in this matter, so he had to send Shi Jie to take more things to the family temple, and then Shi Qingxue wouldn’t suffer from too much injustice there.

Shi Junhe was easy to convince, while Mo Junyang was difficult to handle.

Perhaps Mo Junyang hadn’t reacted when he heard that Shi Qingxue went to the family temple in a hurry, yet when the news that Shi Baoning and Wenren Chi came to Duke Shi’s mansion was revealed to him, he understood everything.

When Mo Junyang got the news, he was practicing swordsmanship in the backyard of his mansion.

In the beginning, he looked calm when Wei Zichao whispered in his ear to tell him about this matter. Nobody could see any emotions on his face. Then he just forced Wei Zichao aside and continued to practice swordsmanship.

Qu Yuebai looked at him attentively and thought that the master’s swordsmanship was more and more accurate and sharper.

However, Wei Zichao found something unusual.

Mo Junyang’s swordsmanship was not only accurate and sharp, but every move could take people’s lives, with killing intent.

Even Wei Zichao, a warrior was shocked by Mo Junyang’s momentum. He couldn’t help but move a few steps backward, in case that he was affected.

“What?” Qu Yuebai looked at Wei Zichao who had moved backward in confusion and still didn’t understand.

Wei Zichao smiled bitterly and pulled Qu Yuebai back. He thought that their boss was in a rage and couldn’t be offended.

In the beginning, Qu Yuebai wondered if Wei Zichao was overcautious, and then he looked back at Mo Junyang after he was absent-minded for a moment.

Mo Junyang had stopped and stood in the middle of the backyard quietly. There were fallen branches and leaves swept by his sword spirit all over the ground around him.

When Qu Yuebai looked up, the tree was bare.

No, it was more miserable. Only a straight trunk was left.

Imagining what would happen if the sword spirit swept him, Qu Yuebai soon had cold sweat all over his body in shock.

Gee, it was so horrible.

Qu Yuebai looked at Wei Zichao in panic, indicating, “What should we do now?”

Wei Zichao shrugged and looked at him, with a faint smile. “How do I know? How about you go up to ask him?”

Qu Yuebai trembled at once and shook his head repeatedly.

It was no joking matter. He wouldn’t court death.

However, some people who courted death came soon.

“Brother, you are excellent in swordsmanship. I really admire you,” Qi Zhengdao stated. He had been registered in the pedigree and reported to the imperial clan, so his name had been changed to Mo Zhengdao. He stood on the other side of the backyard and applauded.

Mo Junyang sheathed the long sword and glanced at Mo Zhengdao, asking indifferently, “What’s the matter?”

Mo Zhengdao was speechless. His brother was too arrogant and distant. It was difficult for him to get close to Mo Junyang, not to mention flattering him.

The second young master paused for quite a while but didn’t want to miss such a good chance to talk with Mo Junyang, so he explained, “I came to the yard and saw that you were practicing swordsmanship, which was superb, and I was almost dazzled, so I praised you involuntarily. If I disturb you, please forgive me.”

He had apologized first. If Mo Junyang still bothered about him, the elder brother must be too narrow-minded.

Mo Zhengdao had a perfect plan.

Mo Junyang asked, “What can I do for you?”

Mo Zhengdao was unable to reply.

Qu Yuebai heard their conversation behind them and could hardly hold back his laughter. Mo Junyang was a conversation terminator, and every word he said could render the other party speechless.

At this thought, Qu Yuebai felt pity for Mo Zhengdao.

It was a joke.

Qu Yuebai walked to Mo Junyang and pretended to be polite to Mo Zhengdao. “Master Zhengdao, the sword is blind. If you are hurt and His Highness comes to denounce His Excellency, we can’t make it clear.”

Mo Zhengdao was ridiculed by the two and looked like a duck whose neck was pinched. He had a blush and couldn’t speak a word.

At this time, Qi Ruyue walked over. She had recovered and been titled as King Rui’s side concubine. She greeted Mo Junyang politely, “Your Excellency.”

Mo Junyang glanced at Qi Ruyue. After a while, he nodded as a salute. “Madam.”

The word “Madam” was almost the best treatment that Mo Junyang could give Qi Ruyue.

After all, he accepted her position as the side concubine. As for others, for example, calling her “mother”, Qi Ruyue didn’t need to think about too much.

Qi Ruyue answered with profound respect and humility and then reminded, “Your Excellency, you exercised just now and must have sweat. Please go back and get changed, in case that you get a cold.”

Both of them said something to butter up Mo Junyang, but the mother was more skilled than the son obviously.

Mo Junyang just nodded and didn’t say more. Then he led his people back to the Love Xue House.

“Mother, haven’t you become King Rui’s side concubine? Why do you need to play up to him?” After they left, Mo Zhengdao immediately complained with displeasure.

Qi Ruyue looked around alertly first. After confirming that there was nobody else, her gentle face looked ferocious at once.

She pinched Mo Zhengdao’s ear and cursed, “You are so brainless. I have reminded you many times that if you want to survive in this mansion, don’t offend His Excellency. Have you thrown my words to the wind?”

Mo Zhengdao felt the pain and grinned. He wanted to get back his ear yet didn’t dare to, so he had to beg for mercy obsequiously. “Mother, I always listen to you, so I want to keep a good relationship with him. Who knows that it’s so difficult to please him? It seems that whatever I say is wrong…”

In fact, Mo Zhengdao was frustrated.

Qi Ruyue sneered at Mo Zhengdao and snorted. “You almost write your intentions on your face. He knows that you want to ask him for help, so if he can get close to you, there will be something weird.”

Mo Zhengdao was seen through, so he smiled in embarrassment and stated flatteringly, “Haven’t I been titled as the second young master in the mansion? I have inquired. The children in the noblemen’s families, even including the concubines’ sons have official positions, and even if they don’t do anything, they can get salaries, but I have nothing, so I want to…”

Qi Ruyue pounded Mo Zhengdao’s head. “What are you thinking about? Don’t covet anything. Stop daydreaming.”

“Mother!” Mo Zhengdao shouted with displeasure.

He thought that he just asked for what he should get. Why didn’t his mother help him but held him back?

Qi Ruyue was also in a bad mood and spat at him. “You are too immature. Your intention is obvious, and even I can notice it. Do you think that you can hide it from your brother?”

“Do you mean…” Mo Zhengdao suddenly thought that Mo Junyang was ruthless when he practiced swordsmanship. If Mo Junyang knew that Mo Zhengdao schemed against him, then…

Mo Zhengdao trembled with fear and asked, “What should I do? Will my brother do something to me?”

Qi Ruyue goggled at him and sighed. “Don’t worry. Since he didn’t explode on the spot, he must want to let it pass. Be alert in the future and don’t offend him. Understand?”

Mo Zhengdao said yes unwillingly yet still showed a sad face. “Mother, what about my future? I can’t just stay in this mansion and idle around in the future, waiting for death.”

Although he lived a luxurious life in comfort, he couldn’t bear to live such a life in the future. Moreover, Mo Junyang was above him.

Mo Junyang was better at anything and more capable than him.

With a man’s desire to win, he couldn’t accept something like this.

Qi Ruyue patted his hand and comforted him softly. “You have just returned home, and you are not familiar with anything. Don’t be anxious. After a long time, when you are closer to your father, will he treat you unfairly?”

Mo Zhengdao thought about it and realized that he was anxious indeed, so he nodded in agreement.

However, he still had a plan. Although King Rui was of a high position, it appeared that he didn’t ask about state affairs, and he must be feared by the emperor, while his brother was favored by the emperor and had real power.

If there was a chance, he still had to find a way to gain profit from Mo Junyang, but he should be more careful and couldn’t be seen through when he did it next time.
