Shi Qingxue lowered her head and pondered for a moment. Then she glanced at Mo Junyang.

Mo Junyang instantly said, “I’ll go with you.”

Shi Qingxue was speechless.

The son-in-law was so sensible, and Shi Qingxue thought that she was under pressure as a daughter.

“Stop joking. I don’t know what happened in my family. Why do you go with me?” Shi Qingxue was unable either to laugh or to cry and refused him.

Although she was also unwilling to part with Mo Junyang as they finally saw each other after a few days, she should consider the timing.

After all, they hadn’t got married, while Mo Junyang followed her no matter what she did, which would cause gossip.

Shi Qingxue didn’t care about the gossip, but she didn’t want her future husband to be commented as he couldn’t leave his woman.

As soon as she finished her words, Mo Junyang looked at her expressionlessly, with a grievance on his face seemingly.

Shi Qingxue couldn’t speak a word.

She was at a loss whether to cry or to laugh and pushed Mo Junyang, saying with a smile, “I won’t stay there for long. I will come back soon. If you act like this, others will think that you can’t live without me.”

“Isn’t it true?” Mo Junyang asked in reply peacefully.

Shi Qingxue really had nothing to say to the man this time.

However, she noticed the seriousness in Mo Junyang’s eyes, which made her have no idea how to answer his question.

For a moment, she really wanted Mo Junyang to go with her. Anyway, it was what she hoped.

Fortunately, she stopped herself in the end and didn’t lose her mind in front of a handsome man.

“Ahem.” Shi Qingxue pretended to clear her throat and then stated like joking, “Okay, just be good and stay here to look after Little Qingmin. I will be back soon.”

She pondered for a moment and then added, “Don’t worry. I will be fine.”

As a result, even Mo Junyang was speechless after hearing her words.

In fact, Mo Junyang insisted on going with her mostly because he was worried about her safety. The fourth prince Mo Junhao and his followers had failed, and the faction appeared to cease all activities, yet they just compromised.

Nobody could ensure that these people wouldn’t do something desperate to ruin both parties.

Mo Junyang didn’t care about anything else, but he should ensure Shi Qingxue’s safety.

However, he didn’t know how to say these words to Shi Qingxue.

Fortunately, Qingxue knew well about him. She said “don’t worry”, and obviously she had seen through him, which made him unable to say more.

Even though Mo Junyang was clear about this, he would be still worried after Shi Qingxue went out alone, even to Duke Shi’s mansion.

“I will tell Zichao to go with you.”

Shi Qingxue goggled helplessly and thought, “I will merely go back home, yet you are worried. You’d better stay with me all the time and make me a part of you.”

However, she didn’t say that. Perhaps the man would agree to this “decision”.

“Fine. I will let Zichao go with me. He is waiting at the door. After I finish everything, I will come back with him. Can’t you stop worrying?” Shi Qingxue made a concession.

Mo Junyang nodded and didn’t forget to stress, “Be careful.”

Shi Qingxue was angry and didn’t want to talk with Mo Junyang but walked out directly.

In the carriage, Dong Shuang peeped at Shi Qingxue several times hesitantly and awkwardly.

Shi Qingxue closed her eyes and rested her mind, asking indifferently, “Just say whatever you want. Why are you hesitant?”

Dong Shuang asked with difficultly, “My Lady, don’t you think that His Excellency is too, too…”

Xia Mang was curious about what made the outspoken Dong Shuang so hesitant, yet she turned pale after hearing that Dong Shuang was going to comment on Mo Junyang.

She pulled Dong Shuang’s arm and stopped her from continuing. Then she looked out of the carriage subconsciously.

Although they stayed in the carriage and the door was closed tightly, Wei Zichao was powerful in martial arts, and they didn’t know if he could hear their words.

After all, Shi Qingxue could do anything, while the servants couldn’t comment on the masters in secret.

Dong Shuang was pulled suddenly and almost fell. She managed with effort to steady herself, and then Xia Mang glared at her.

Dong Shuang didn’t understand what the serious glare meant, yet her acute gut feeling for many years told her that it was not the right time to continue.

Shi Qingxue seemed not to see their actions but asked impassively, “Too what?”

Dong Shuang lowered her head and didn’t know if she should speak it out.

“My Lady, Dong Shuang is not a good talker. You…”

Xia Mang said that as she wanted to save the situation for Dong Shuang, while Shi Qingxue raised her hand and stopped the maid.

Qingxue straightened her back and looked at Dong Shuang. “Since you started it, just go ahead.”

Dong Shuang gritted her teeth and shook off Xia Mang’s hand which stopped her, saying,

“My Lady, don’t you think that you act upon whatever His Excellency says? In the past, you…”

Dong Shuang bit her lower lip and didn’t know what to say. She looked hesitant, and after a long while, she seemed to be ready to risk everything. “In the past, you had your own decisions. If you thought that you should do something, nobody could stop you easily, but now His Excellency always influences you. It’s so…”

Shi Qingxue was stunned to hear these words.

She hadn’t realized this matter seemingly before Dong Shuang said that.

When she thought about it, it was like what Dong Shuang said.

For example, as for what happened earlier, if she wanted to go back to Duke Shi’s mansion alone and travel light in the past, no matter who advised her, she wouldn’t bring somebody unnecessary.

Mo Junyang insisted on telling her to bring Wei Zichao, and he might let Wei Zichao watch her. In the past, she hated most to be followed everywhere and watched like a prisoner.

If something like this happened, she wouldn’t agree to Mo Junyang’s request but might fall out with him.

However, now, perhaps she felt unhappy, yet she restrained herself soon and didn’t let Mo Junyang find it. She didn’t retort but agreed to his arrangement.

Gee, it was not her style.

Shi Qingxue pouted and pondered for a long time. Then she finally found a reason and murmured, “Perhaps…I am unwilling to make him fail to get after pursuing.”

Speaking of which, she changed unconsciously, yet so did Mo Junyang.

In the beginning, Mo Junyang was obedient to her all the time, as if she were something valuable and fragile. He wished to hold her in his hands or mouth.

Compared with being treated cautiously, she was more used to the way they got along with each other now.

Shouldn’t a couple compromise with each other?

If they were like before, even though Mo Junyang loved her deeply and she loved him, too, with the unequal relationship, they couldn’t stay with each other for long.

After murmuring, Shi Qingxue stopped talking and stared at the teacup in her hand blankly.

Dong Shuang wanted to say more, yet she kept silent as Xia Mang pulled her and glared at her seriously.

Till Shi Qingxue got out of the carriage and walked into the mansion, Dong Shuang couldn’t control herself but asked, “Xia, why did you stop me? I haven’t finished my words.”

Dong Shuang always thought that it was bad that Shi Qingxue “indulged” Mo Junyang too much, although he was the lady’s future husband and she believed that he loved the lady.

However, men were always insatiable. If Shi Qingxue indulged him, he would boss her around sooner or later.

“Come on. Do you need to say something like this?” Xia Mang noticed Dong Shuang’s intention at a glance from her resentful face.

She rolled her eyes and snorted. “Haven’t you heard that an outsider shouldn’t meddle in the relationship between two people close to each other? His Excellency is Lady Qingxue’s future husband, and they are intimate. How can the servants like us comment on them randomly?”

“But shall we say nothing and watch Lady Qingxue’s interest being harmed?” Dong Shuang swelled out her chest and firmly believed that her advice was good even though it was harsh to the ear.

Xia Mang knocked at Dong Shuang’s head and cursed crossly, “A couple is united, and His Excellency cares about Lady Qingxue’s safety, so he insisted on telling Wei to follow her. Was her interest harmed? You worry too much.”

Dong Shuang was stunned and seemed to finally realize this matter. She opened her mouth slightly yet didn’t speak after a long time.

Wei Zichao pretended to be invisible all the way. This man had sharp ears and heard their conversation, while he didn’t say anything. Till now he finally couldn’t help but laugh, exposing his mater’s “secret”.

“After all of you go to King Rui’s mansion and live with my master for a period, you will know that what you are worried about will never happen.”

“Really?” Dong Shuang glared at Wei Zichao in doubt. He was Mo Junyang’s subordinate, and his words were not trustworthy.

Wei Zichao didn’t explain in a hurry but responded, “Wait and see.”

When Shi Qingxue walked into the East House, she found all the family members sitting in the main hall and seeming to wait for her.

She carefully observed all people’s expression. They had a smile yet could hardly conceal the anxiety in their eyes.

She couldn’t figure out what they were thinking about.

“What’s the matter?”

Dong Hui walked forward first and held Shi Qingxue’s hand, pulling her to sit down next to Shi Baoning. Then she stated with a bigger smile, “Let your sister tell you.”

Shi Qingxue turned to Shi Baoning.

Shi Baoning still looked shy and behaved bashfully. Then she looked up at Qingxue and couldn’t help smiling. “Qingxue, I am pregnant.”

“Really?” Shi Qingxue was surprised and then looked joyful involuntarily.

She grabbed Shi Baoning’s hands and asked excitedly, “When did you get pregnant? How old is the fetus? Are you all right? Do you feel unwell?”

She asked successively and mentioned almost all the questions that anybody might ask after seeing a pregnant woman.

She did almost the same as that when she got the news that Dong Hui was pregnant. Even though she had been through it once, she couldn’t help feeling excited.

She stared at Shi Baoning’s belly with her big eyes, as if she could see her future nephew in this way.

Shi Baoning felt shy under Shi Qingxue’s stare and leaned to one side slightly, answering in a low voice, “I am all right. Don’t worry, Qingxue.”

Qingxue raised her head in confusion as Shi Baoning’s action blocked her view, asking silently, “Why don’t you let me see it?”

When Dong Hui was pregnant with their brothers, she let Shi Qingxue touch her belly.

Dong Hui watched them and felt happy, covering her mouth while laughing. “Fine, Qingxue, you know that your sister is shy. Don’t tease her anymore.

“Turn to me. I have something to discuss with you.”
