Shi Qingxue’s eyes became cold at once.
She stared at Wei Zichao and asked, stressing each word, “Zichao, tell me frankly. What did Mo Junyang tell you before leaving?”
Since Shi Qingxue got close to Mo Junyang, she called him Junyang generally, but she could hardly restrain her anger now, so her tone became stiff.
Wei Zichao felt the difference and stiffened, yet he relaxed soon and answered in a mechanical tone, “Nothing.”
He was unwilling to reveal what his master told him, while his answer proved Shi Qingxue’s guess.
Shi Qingxue laughed although she was angry. “He didn’t tell you anything but you stopped me repeatedly. Do you want to say that you made a decision without authorization?”
Wei Zichao was speechless.
He was retorted and forced a bitter smile after a long time. “My Lady, since you have guessed, please don’t make things difficult for me.”
Shi Qingxue agreed without hesitation, “Okay, as long as you tell me what Mo Junyang told you.”
Wei Zichao hesitated for a moment and then replied, “Master said that if you asked about him, I should say that everything was fine and tell you not to worry as he would come back soon.”
“Good liar.” Shi Qingxue snorted.
Wei Zichao rubbed his nose and pretended that he didn’t hear.
Shi Qingxue glared. “I talked about you.”
Wei Zichao hurriedly expressed, “Everything that I said is true. That’s what Master told me. How dare I send false instructions?”
“You don’t dare to send false instructions, but you dare to cheat me.” Shi Qingxue didn’t believe their words anymore.
When Wei Zichao wanted to argue, she stated with disappointment, “Tell me why Mo Junyang left the statistics job to me.”
Wei Zichao kept his composure and answered, “Of course because he trusts you.”
Shi Qingxue showed a sarcastic smile and expressed in a low voice, “Yes, I thought so in the beginning and stupidly ensured that I would do it in person and not tell anybody to do it…
“Now it appears that he intentionally found a job for me in order to keep me in this mansion.
“I am so stupid!”
Hearing Shi Qingxue speak out his master’s plan while stressing each word, Wei Zichao felt that his heart jumped to his throat and it seemed that he could spit it out when he gasped.
He held his breath and racked his brains to advise, “My Lady, Master did everything for your good. Please don’t get mad at him.”
Shi Qingxue instantly felt that a basin of cold water was poured to her and made her cold from head to toe.
Right, she knew it.
No matter what Mo Junyang did, he did it for her.
Shi Qingxue was droopy and all her anger turned into ashes.
She wasn’t mad at Mo Junyang. Now she just felt sad, not to mention being mad.
She pursed her lips and asked in a hoarse voice after quite a while, “What on earth does he want to do?”
Wei Zichao glanced at Ye Zhixin and lowered his head without saying anything.
Shi Qingxue understood and talked to Ye Zhixin, “Go back first.”
“Won’t we go to Shang Village?” Ye Zhixin asked in surprise, with anxiety on her face.
Qingxue looked at Ye Zhixin in confusion and asked coldly, “Why does it seem that you are more anxious than me?”
Nobody knew what Ye Zhixin was thinking about, and her face blushed from her head to her neck.
She shook her head crazily and explained anxiously, “No, I just…”
She took a deep breath and then added in a soft voice, “I am just worried that His Excellency will be in danger.”
She called His Excellency in a sweet and shy voice, and anybody with ears could notice the deep affection.
Shi Qingxue frowned. Anybody would be unhappy when somebody else coveted her future husband in front of her, yet she wasn’t in the mood to bother about Ye Zhixin so much at the moment.
She repeated coldly, “Go back first. If I go, I will inform you.”
After speaking, she didn’t give Ye Zhixin a chance to ask more but walked back to the room.
Wei Zichao stood behind and glanced at Ye Zhixin, seeming to be hesitant, yet he strode in the end, following Shi Qingxue back to her room.
Shi Qingxue sat on the couch and took a sip of tea. Then she ordered at leisure, “Say it now.”
Wei Zichao lowered his eyes and responded expressionlessly, “I don’t know what you are talking about, My Lady.”
“Don’t play dumb in front of me. When Ye Zhixin was here just now, it was inconvenient for you to speak, but now only we are here. Will you still hide it from me?” Shi Qingxue wasn’t in the mood to beat around the bush with Wei Zichao.
However, Wei Zichao was dumb and wouldn’t speak a word easily.
Shi Qingxue could do nothing to him.
She pursed her lips and suddenly said, “Zichao, you should know that even though your master likes to hide everything, when I find something wrong, he won’t keep it from me.”
Her hidden meaning was that Wei Zichao was a subordinate and should be better-tempered than his master.
Wei Zichao’s tense expression softened as expected. When Shi Qingxue thought that he would tell her frankly, the guard stated with creativeness, “My Lady, if you have something to ask me, just ask. I will tell you everything that I know.”
In another word, if Shi Qingxue had nothing to ask, he wouldn’t confess.
Shi Qingxue was speechless.
Aha, as expected, he was the same as his master, a jerk.
Fortunately, Shi Qingxue weighed, so she didn’t find fault with this guard’s words but asked without demur,
“Mo Junyang, his identity was found by Yan Xu because he did it purposely, right?”
The first question hit the target.
Wei Zichao’s expression stiffened. After a long time, he nodded feebly.
Sure enough…
Shi Qingxue wasn’t surprised. Although Mo Junzhan did something wrong by accident and revealed the identity, with Mo Junyang around, she didn’t believe that he couldn’t make it reasonable.
Mo Junyang didn’t save the situation but revealed his identity calmly.
At that time, Qingxue just guessed that he planned to make use of the favorable current situation and expose his identity, yet later, she thought that it was a trap set by Mo Junyang.
Afterward, he forced her to stay in the mansion in the name of sorting out the information of the dead people and led Mo Junzhan to Shang Village because he wanted to lure Yan Xu to do something desperate.
They were closely linked, and Mo Junyang had planned it perfectly.
If Shi Qingxue didn’t know well about him, she wouldn’t find it as Ye Zhixin who would do something unexpected was here.
She was furious while thinking.
Seeing that Shi Qingxue’s face turned pale suddenly, Wei Zichao guessed that she probably knew Mo Junyang’s plan, so he advised in a low voice, “My Lady, don’t worry. Master knows what he should do and will be safe and sound.”
“He knows what he should do?” Fuck.
Shi Qingxue was well-educated, which made her unable to say something dirty, but she wanted to curse and even kill somebody.
She opened her eyes wide and got exasperated. “He has been of a high position for a long time and has the situation well in hand, seeming able to arrange everything properly, so he thinks that there is nothing that he can’t do?
“Doesn’t he know that a powerful official can’t defeat a local tyrant? Yan Xu has been in Jiangzhou City for so many years. Even a broken boat is heavy. He made himself a bait rashly. What should he do if something bad happens to him?”
Wei Zichao was rebuked and couldn’t reply. He stared at Shi Qingxue, with confusion in his eyes.
Yes, confusion.
Wei Zichao was different from Shi Qingxue. As a guard, he always listened to Mo Junyang’s orders in the past many years. Although they had been in danger for a lot of times, they were lucky in every endeavor in the end.
Therefore, before Shi Qingxue said that, he had never thought about whether something bad would happen to Mo Junyang.
Wei Zichao believed in the strong, so he followed Mo Junyang all the time. In his opinion, his master was invincible.
However, he had never considered the difficulties and danger.
On second thought, how would somebody win easily?
He kept silent for a long time and then asked, “My Lady, what should we do to help Master now?”
Shi Qingxue was satisfied with Wei Zichao’s change. “If you didn’t hide everything from me all the time, in the beginning, I wouldn’t let him go to Shang Village alone. Although I can do nothing, you can ensure his safety at least if you are around him.”
Logically, even if Mo Junyang really risked his life, he should take Wei Zichao just in case, and he would have more chances of winning.
However, Mo Junyang decided to tell this guard to stay with Shi Qingxue in the end.
It was not difficult to understand the reason.
Shi Qingxue just felt sad. She sniffled and wanted to go out at once to look for Mo Junyang, but she controlled herself with her sense at last. She said to Wei Zichao like consulting, “Wait till next morning.
“If they still haven’t come back after the sun rises next morning, let’s go to see them, okay?”
Wei Zichao received the order that he had to keep Shi Qingxue in the magistrate’s mansion in any way before Mo Junyang came back.
Fifteen minutes ago, his answer was firm.
However, what Shi Qingxue said just now touched Wei Zichao, and he had no choice, so he followed Mo Junyang’s order rigidly.
After hesitating for nearly fifteen minutes, Wei Zichao nodded at last and answered, “Okay.”
They said that they would wait till next morning, but it was difficult for Shi Qingxue to eat anything and sleep at night. When the first light entered the window from outside, she uncovered the quilt and called Dong Shuang.
Dong Shuang rubbed her eyes and got up from the couch. She walked to the bed and asked in a daze, “It’s still early. My Lady, why don’t you sleep more?”
“I won’t sleep anymore. Perhaps Junyang will come back later.” She got dressed, washed up for herself and meanwhile pushed Dong Shuang repeatedly.
Dong Shuang didn’t stop but still asked in confusion, “It’s not convenient to walk on the mountain path at night. Even if His Excellency and the others will come back, they will be back in the afternoon.”
Shi Qingxue stiffened because of Dong Shuang’s straightforward words.
She certainly knew it. Because of this, she didn’t rush to Shang Village last night.
It was not easy for her to wait till now, and she couldn’t wait any longer.
“Don’t talk nonsense. Go and wake up Ye Zhixin. We will take her this time.”
Shi Qingxue dressed and made up on her own. When all of them were ready and stood at the back gate of the magistrate’s mansion, waiting for Wei Zichao to bring horses, she suddenly heard some clops from a distance.
They approached her little by little.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Shi Qingxue’s eyes became cold at once.
She stared at Wei Zichao and asked, stressing each word, “Zichao, tell me frankly. What did Mo Junyang tell you before leaving?”
