Chapter 57 Failed To Insult But Was Dissed

There was no picture of the confrontation between them two as s.h.i.+ Junhe had expected in the cubicle. There was only s.h.i.+ Qingxue who stared at the window with a shocking look.

The window was open, and Mo Junyang was missing.

"What's going on?" s.h.i.+ Junhe frowned and walked to the front of s.h.i.+ Qingxue, waving in front of her eyes to make her back to consciousness.

But s.h.i.+ Qingxue just shook her head and said disappointingly, "It's all right."

It didn't look like that it was all right at all!

s.h.i.+ Junhe had to ask again, "Where is Mo Junyang?"

s.h.i.+ Qingxue's face froze, and she was silent for a moment. Then she turned her face away and said with guilt, "He, he said that he still had something to deal with and left just now."

Was there anything important that could make Mo Junyang jump out of the window and leave without telling him? Not to mention that the person who was with Mo Junyang was s.h.i.+ Qingxue.

The more s.h.i.+ Junhe thought about it, the stranger he felt. But s.h.i.+ Qingxue was not in mood to stay here any more, she said, "I am suddenly reminded that there's still something I haven't done yet. I shall go back now."

After that, she quickly ran away. s.h.i.+ Junhe couldn't even stop her.

s.h.i.+ Qingxue hurriedly ran back to the Luotong Boudoir. She didn't stop until she returned to the room alone, but her face was dim.

Thoughts floated back to the cubicle a moment ago when Mo Junyang left.

s.h.i.+ Qingxue pushed Mo Junyang away angrily, mad and annoyed. She glared at him resentfully, showing an aversion that she herself didn't even notice.

She couldn't bear the touch like this, which reminded her of Mo Junhao in her previous life and that she used to have no regrets for falling for Mo Junhao.

The hypocrisy behind made s.h.i.+ Qingxue feel sick.

But she suddenly noticed that Mo Junyang was also looking at her with his eyes red. His sight was different from the scorching heat before that made her afraid and let her heart beat faster. There seemed to be the eagerness when a hunter caught his prey followed for a long time and couldn't wait to eat it.

s.h.i.+ Qingxue was shocked, and then was a little scared.

At this moment, Mo Junyang's expression changed, and his usual indifference was restored. His eyes were cold, and there was ridicule in his smile, "You actually know, know that I..."

"What?" s.h.i.+ Qingxue frowned, she didn't understand what Mo Junyang wanted to say.

Mo Junyang's smile became even more exaggerated, "s.h.i.+ Qingxue, you are the cruelest one!"

The deep voice no longer hid his thoughts, and his love was like a tide rus.h.i.+ng into s.h.i.+ Qingxue's mind, making her at a loss. She stuttered and denied, "No, I'm not. I..."

But Mo Junyang didn't let her continue, he just smiled bitterly, "Well, you really still hate me!"

s.h.i.+ Qingxue looked astonished for a moment, she couldn't even speak, and watched Mo Junyang turn away.

When s.h.i.+ Qingxue returned to the Luotong Boudoir, she was always reminded of Mo Junyang's back figure when he left. And she felt very uncomfortable in her heart.

Why did Mo Junyang say those words?

Hated?

She never said such words. Why did Mo Junyang think that...

s.h.i.+ Qingxue racked her brains and couldn't think of a reason, and she didn't realize that her inadvertent performance had made Mo Junyang misunderstand her. She only felt wronged and muttered with anger, "I'm not cruel. You are the excessive one!"

Obviously it was Mo Junyang who had behaved like a hoodlum. At present, it became her fault. He was totally making unfounded counter charge!

s.h.i.+ Qingxue was resentful and decided to ignore Mo Junyang, that b.a.s.t.a.r.d!

One morning, when s.h.i.+ Qingxue just had her breakfast, a servant from Shou'an Hall came to call. Princess Royal asked everyone to go to the front hall to welcome the guest.

It was so grand that even the sisters who came to the hall first were discussing who was coming. Princess Royal even needed to gather the whole family together.

"Isn't it a relative from Grandma's family?" s.h.i.+ Baochun stared curiously at the door, as if the guest would walk in from outside as long as she glanced at it.

s.h.i.+ Baojin chuckled and sneered, "Ignorant. Grandma is Princess Royal. Her relatives are all royal people. Which one don't we know?"

s.h.i.+ Baochun was choked by these words and became silent. But s.h.i.+ Baojin still looked like that only she knew the best around the world and continued to say, "In my opinion, it is definitely a poor frumpy relative coming to our house for an easier life. Grandma doesn't want to lose face and has to come to welcome that relative."

When saying this, s.h.i.+ Baojin glanced at s.h.i.+ Qingxue from time to time. These words suddenly reminded everyone of the shameful matters that Dong Hui's relatives had done before in the s.h.i.+ Family.

The scene was a bit embarra.s.sing. s.h.i.+ Baoning's face was red with embarra.s.sment, as if it was her who had been ashamed. But the one whom s.h.i.+ Baojin wanted to insult still looked calm and unmoved.

s.h.i.+ Baojin hated Qingxue's indifferent look so much that she took a deep breath and said sarcastically, "There are always shameless people. I'm afraid their skins can't even be pierced by a sword! Do you agree, Qingxue?"

s.h.i.+ Qingxue was unwilling to talk to s.h.i.+ Baojin, but she had to grab her in this. She didn't hide again and responded coldly, "I don't know whether their skin is thick or not, but I believe that normal people won't be so vicious and use a sword to pierce others."

s.h.i.+ Baojin's look was awkward, and said in anger, "What do you mean?"

"Nothing. I just want to say that we are sisters, and why do we bother arguing about other people's matters?" s.h.i.+ Qingxue smiled mildly, settling this matter down.

s.h.i.+ Baojin failed to insult s.h.i.+ Qingxue but was dissed, and her face became even worse. But s.h.i.+ Qingxue had said so. If she kept holding on to this matter, it would be her being unreasonable.

Even if she was reluctant, she had to shut up.

The seniors happened to come in at this time. Mo Shujun walked at the front, with those madams following. But behind Zhou Ruyu followed a young and pretty woman.

s.h.i.+ Qingxue never met her, but s.h.i.+ Baojin shouted in surprise, "Aunt Ru, why are you here?"

The one who was called Aunt Ru was Zhou Ruyu's cousin, Zhou Ruru.

Zhou Ruru heard s.h.i.+ Baojin's call, she smiled mildly, and greeted, "Baojin, long time no see."

s.h.i.+ Baojin turned to look at Zhou Ruyu. She remembered that her mother's relations.h.i.+p with this cousin was not very good.

However, Zhou Ruyu smiled brilliantly, and took the initiative to hold Zhou Ruru's hand and introduced her to Qingxue, "Sister Ru is my cousin. She grew up with me. This time, she doesn't feel well and comes to recuperate for several days. Although Sister Ru is my cousin, she is almost at the same age as you. I hope you two will get along well."

Zhou Ruru was one generation above other ladies in the s.h.i.+ Family according to the seniority, but she was easygoing and docile, and she laughed a lot. Moreover, she was not pretentious. Even though the relations.h.i.+p between the First Master's Family and Third Master's Family was tense, Zhou Ruru still got along well with those ladies.

s.h.i.+ Junhe happened to come back from the court. Seeing the women talking and laughing when he entered the room, he couldn't help laughing and asked, "What's up today? How is it so busy in the house?"

There was no such rule in the Mo Country that women couldn't see men from other families, so Zhou Ruyu pushed Zhou Ruru forward and introduced her to s.h.i.+ Junhe, and said, "Brother, you might not know. My sister also grows up in a General's family since she was young. She is fond of those military stuff. Before she comes, she keeps telling me how much she hopes to meet the leader of the s.h.i.+ Army!"

"Sister, what are you talking about?" Zhou Ruru stomped her feet shyly, trying to hide behind Zhou Ruyu, but she was forced to stand at the forefront. She had to glance at s.h.i.+ Junhe with her shy and timid eyes. She praised sincerely in a low voice, "General s.h.i.+, you are really brilliant. My father has always praised the s.h.i.+ Army led by you, and I also admire you very much."

s.h.i.+ Junhe often encountered all kinds of admirers. Even if Zhou Ruru was from the Zhou Family, the pure and innocent look made him unable to hate her. He could only say politely, "You think too highly of me."

Zhou Ruru was suddenly surprised and said excitedly, "You can just call me Ru! You don't know it, but I grow up reading the military books you have endorsed. Those strategies are so great, and I have benefited a lot from them. I take it with me to read at almost any time!"

As she spoke, she took out a military book which had been read for many times. Opening it randomly, there were s.h.i.+ Junhe's notes on it, along with a few lines of smaller words, which were her own thoughts added by Zhou Ruru.

It was the first time that s.h.i.+ Junhe had met such an enthusiastic and serious fan, he liked Zhou Ruru a little more. He even took the initiative to say, "If you like reading military books, you can just tell my subordinate to lead you to the reading room. There are more military books, and they are enough for you to kill time."

"It's really great!" Zhou Ruru flushed with excitement without shyness at the beginning, she stayed beside s.h.i.+ Junhe and talked about her thoughts after reading.

At this time, everyone didn't think too much about it. They just regarded her as another female admirer of s.h.i.+ Junhe.

Mo Shujun avoided the crowd and called s.h.i.+ Junhe to Shou'an Hall and then asked, "Junhe, what do you think of Ru?"

s.h.i.+ Junhe thought that Mo Shujun wanted to arrange the marriage of a junior in the family, and he praised her accordingly, "She is a smart kid."

But Mo Shujun laughed and cursed, "She is of the same seniority as you. How can you call her a kid?"

"But she's almost 24 years younger than me. Isn't she just a kid?" s.h.i.+ Junhe smiled bitterly. He couldn't treat her as his sister. She could even be his daughter at her age at present!

Mo Shujun took a serious look and scolded, "The seniority counts. No matter how young she is, you should treat her according to the seniority in the family."

s.h.i.+ Junhe hurriedly nodded and promised, "Yes, I know. I won't mistake it again. I wonder mother wants to ask whom to marry her?"

There were a lot of men in the s.h.i.+ Family, but all those unmarried men were her grandsons. They were one generation below Zhou Ruru. With Mo Shujun's rigor, she wouldn't allow Zhou Ruru to marry her grandson.

Mo Shujun looked at s.h.i.+ Junhe and asked with a gentle smile, "It's for you. How about it? Are you satisfied with the person I choose for you?"

Even though s.h.i.+ Junhe had experienced a lot, he was still astonished at this time. After a while, he stuttered and asked, "Mother, are you kidding?"

Mo Shujun was suddenly unwilling, "Who is joking with you! You two younger brothers already have several concubines. I have always wanted to choose a concubine for you, but there was no appropriate person before. Zhou Ruru looks not bad, and you like her. Although the status of her family is not high, it is still enough for being a concubine."

"It's not suitable!" s.h.i.+ Junhe quickly explained, "I'm almost 24 years older than her. I can even be her father at this age. How can I..."

He couldn't speak the rest of the words out.

Mo Shujun didn't care about these things, "It's not bad to be younger. She can give birth to kids and is easy to teach. Otherwise, that person might know nothing and still rebel against me."
