Shi Qingxue was always “generous” on such things.
If Mo Junyang didn’t feel like talking, she would never push him to speak.
Because she knew if she insisted on asking, he would never keep her in the dark no matter how unwilling he was.
However, she also didn’t like him doing things he disliked because of her.
It was rare for Mo Junyang to be in the mood to explain, so she nodded repeatedly and said, “Yes, yes! Will you talk?”
At first, Mo Junyang just looked into her eyes seriously but he looked away a little embarrassedly.
A long moment later, it seemed he finally plucked up the courage. He said in a hoarse voice, “Because I hated him for coveting you.”
“What?” Shi Qingxue was completely startled by his so-called excuse.
She couldn’t help laughing and saying, “Are you kidding?”
Mo Junyang knitted his eyebrows and said, “You don’t believe it, right?”
Shi Qingxue nodded. Of course, she didn’t.
The others might become headstrong because of affections, but not Mo Junyang.
It would never happen!
Shi Qingxue was sure that Mo Junyang was lying for a reason that he didn’t want to tell her.
Then she said considerately, “If you don’t want to tell me, just stop talking. I won’t force you.”
Mo Junyang stared at Shi Qingxue for a while and learned she really didn’t believe what he had said. He just turned away and stopped talking.
Shi Qingxue waited but didn’t hear the man speaking. She was very suspicious.
If it were not for Mo Junyang looking nothing different, she almost believed that he was at odds with her.
The very idea startled her, and she couldn’t help laughing again.
She imagined how he looked like if he really were mad at her, and there was a smile in her eyes and over her eyebrows. She teased, “Can you imagine the day when you’re completely frank to me? When will it come?”
It had nothing to do with trust.
If she thought it seriously, they trusted each other very much and wouldn’t hurt the other party.
However, she might be able to tell her mind, but Mo Junyang…
A trace of gloom flashed in the man’s eyes. He opened his mouth but said nothing in the end.
He wished he could tell Shi Qingxue that the reason he didn’t like Mo Junzhan was simple and it was because he was simply jealous.
He didn’t like Mo Junzhan calling her name intimately or getting close to her as a matter of course.
But these reasons might look too superficial in Shi Qingxue’s eyes.
Shi Qingxue looked up at him and naturally wouldn’t believe the darkness in his heart.
So Mo Junyang stopped explaining when he saw that Shi Qingxue didn’t believe what he had said.
He thought it was not bad if Shi Qingxue looked up at him.
“It is easy to provoke Mo Junzhan, and he will draw a lot of attention if he takes the first action,” Mo Junyang said slowly.
He didn’t cover the truth that he was using Mo Junzhan.
Shi Qingxue was speechless.
Actually, she was a little guilty. She remembered the words Mo Junzhan said to her a moment ago, “You’re partial to him!”
Until then, she really felt that she had taken Mo Junyang’s side.
Or she wouldn’t stand by and watch Mo Junyang scheming against Mo Junzhan.
Fortunately, it wouldn’t actually hurt Mo Junzhan.
Shi Qingxue heaved a sigh in the end and accepted Mo Junyang’s explanation.
In the following days, everything was developed as Mo Junyang expected. When Mo Junzhan threw the account book in front of Yan Xu, he didn’t lose his mind, but things started to change.
Early the next morning, a runner got up and was getting ready for the day.
The moment he opened the gate, he saw a pair of naked feet swaying in front of his eyes.
The runner’s eyes were still misty because he just got up. He rubbed his eyes and yawned. He didn’t realize what it was at a glance, so he looked up from the feet.
There was a corpse hanging on the beam, swaying.
The runner could see the weird smile on the face of the female corpse.
“Oh!”
The runner screeched and dropped into the ground. He immediately crawled inside on all fours.
His screech disturbed all the servants in the mansion, and they got to the gate in knots. They looked at the corpse with pale faces and then at the people around them, not knowing what to do.
There were passers-by on the street at this time of the day, and they also noticed the corpse hanging at the gate of the magistrate’s mansion. Soon, people began to gather there, pointing and talking.
“Oh, God! Who was that? Why did she hang herself at the gate of the magistrate’s mansion?”
“She must have no other choice to right a wrong.”
“How nice she looked! Nothing is permanent in life!”
“Wait! Don’t you find her familiar?”
“Oh, was she…”
People talked without a stop, and the servants who were frozen came to their senses. They were aware that the magistrate wouldn’t let them go if it kept going like this.
One of them came to report it to Yan Xu, trembling with fear.
However, when Yan Xu got the news and got to the gate hurriedly, Mo Junyang and the others also learned it and did the same.
So the two groups of people met again at the gate.
Cold sweat broke out on Yan Xu’s forehead. He dared not say anything to the imperial envoy but had to vent all his anger on his servants. “Do you have a brain? What are you waiting for? Go and take it off there!”
“Yes, sir!”
The servants completely came to their senses. Someone fetched a ladder and they quickly took the corpse off the beam.
Then it was put on the floor at the gate and its face was upside.
Yan Xu cursed in his mind that they should take it inside and shouldn’t embarrass him out there.
However, before he blamed them, he saw the face of the corpse. In a moment, his voice seemed to be stuck in his throat and his face turned pale. He pointed at the corpse with his trembling hand.
Xiao Qijun, who had been following Yan Xu, asked with concern, “Are you okay, Lord Yan?”
Xiao Qijun didn’t try to lower his voice, so all people nearby heard him.
Shi Qingxue raised her head to see Yan Xu’s expression. She cracked a false smile and asked coldly, “It seems that you know who she was, Lord Yan.”
“No, I don’t…” Yan Xu retorted unconsciously.
But someone behind him said in a puzzled voice, “Oh, wasn’t it Lord Ye’s wife?”
Yan Xu took a deep breath.
He turned his head around and cast a furious glance at the servant who talked out of place.
No one would take him dumb if he didn’t talk.
Since the servant had spoken it out, it would be too hypocritical if he said he didn’t know his colleague’s wife.
Yan Xu smiled embarrassedly and took another look at the corpse. Then he said, “I didn’t pay attention just now, and I just took a close look. Yes, it was Mrs. Ye.
“Speaking of which, after Lord Ye disappeared, his wife disappeared, too. I thought that he had taken his wife with him, but I…”
Shi Qingxue didn’t give him any chance to fudge. She seized the flaw in his words and asked, “According to your words, you’re sure that Lord Ye left his post without permission during his tenure, Lord Yan.”
Yan Xu lowered his eyes and denied in an indifferent voice, “I’m not sure. It is just a possibility.”
He didn’t sound respectful.
He had heard the rumor that King Rui’s heir was infatuated with Duke Shi’s daughter, and he lost his head over her. So he treated Shi Qingxue with extra respect.
But it was so before he found the affair of Shi Qingxue and the assistant of King Rui’s heir.
Right now, Yan Xu took it for granted that he had something on Shi Qingxue, He ran his eyes from Mo Junyang to Shi Qingxue meaningfully as if saying, “I have known what is going on between you two. If you wish me to keep silent, then you have to shut up first.”
Shi Qingxue never knew how filthy Yan Xu was, or she hadn’t realized that her relationship with Mo Junyang would be unpresentable.
She took it for granted that the magistrate of Jiangzhou was rampant and feared nothing.
However, Mo Junyang had learned Yan Xu’s mind the moment he saw his expression. He pulled Shi Qingxue behind him calmly, preventing her from confronting Yan Xu.
Then he said in a cold voice, “It’s time to handle the official business. No matter who it was, it is not proper to lie here. Lord Yan, I advise you to move it away and let the post-mortem examiner check it before discussing how to deal with it.”
Yan Xu suddenly realized how well the cold assistant knew to watch a person’s every mood. He couldn’t agree with him more and said, “You really know how to deal with business. It’s exactly what I am thinking about.”
Mo Junzhan was dissatisfied as Mo Junyang stole his thunder, but he had no other idea. He turned around and walked away with a sneer.
Yan Xu forced a smile to coax Mo Junzhan and hurriedly instructed his servants to take the corpse away.
He went back to his room hastily.
His smile disappeared the moment he entered the room. He kicked Tian Ping who followed him inside the room without any hesitation.
“You promised me to kill her! Then why did she hang herself at the gate of my mansion?”
Yan Xu asked furiously and stared at Tian Ping as if he would swallow him alive.
Now that it was exposed, Tian Ping dared not hide anymore. He confessed how he coveted Mrs. Ye’s beauty and kept her secretly as his exclusive domain, trembling all over.
“I was haunted by her beauty, and I promise I locked her up safely. No one knows it, but I never expected that she would escape and hang herself at the gate!”
Tian Ping’s voice trailed away, because Yan Xu’s face turned gloomy to the extreme.
Yan Xu was so angry that he slapped Tian Ping in his face. He hurled all kinds of abuse. “You didn’t know how she escaped! I want to ask you the same question!
“I told you many times to control your desire for women. If you want women, just go to the whorehouse and there are plenty of them. Why did you have to put your eyes on her?”
Tian Ping smiled embarrassingly and retorted in a low voice, “You didn’t know how good she was. If you…”
But he kept quiet out of fear as he spotted the furious expression on Yan Xu’s face. He even dared not breathe heavily.
Seeing Tian Ping’s frightened appearance, Yan Xu was so angry that he wanted to kill him. But he couldn’t. So he kicked again and shouted, “Get out!”
Tian Ping went out immediately.
Yan Xu felt his head pinched over the mess of Mrs. Ye.
“Lord Yan, you don’t have to be so annoyed,” Xiao Qijun suddenly said from aside. He had kept quiet since they got back to the room.
Yan Xu hesitated and turned to him.
He knew that his private assistant always had a solution. He couldn’t wait to ask, “What is your suggestion?”
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Shi Qingxue was always “generous” on such things.
If Mo Junyang didn’t feel like talking, she would never push him to speak.
Because she knew if she insisted on asking, he would never keep her in the dark no matter how unwilling he was.
