Mo Junyu frowned and replied without hesitation, "No one will offer help without wanting anything. It must be evil."
"Then what if that person says she likes you?"
"I don't believe it!"
Mo Junyu replied even more decisively. He thought about it again, but failed to understand which couple loving and hurting each other at the same time Mo Junyang was implying in his words. Couldn't they be Mo Junyang and s.h.i.+ Qingxue?
He thought about it carefully again, and then denied the correct answer very firmly. Seeing Mo Junyang's face become gloomier because of his words, he couldn't help but ask again, "Aren't you always fond of s.h.i.+ Qingxue? Why is there an enemy now?"
Mo Junyang didn't answer him again but asked, "If that enemy keeps chasing and pursuing, will there be any chance?"
"Of course not!" Mo Junyu answered without hesitation, he looked at Mo Junyang in surprise, as if he were wondering why he had such a strange thought.
Mo Junyu pointed to himself, making a metaphor, "Take myself as an example. Those who have harmed me before, I will definitely retaliate back for no reason, let alone the enemy related to life and death. I am not born to be addicted to being abused, how can I be fond of my enemy?"
Seeing Mo Junyang's eccentric face, he thought he encountered an example which was totally opposite to what he had said, so Mo Junyu said with empathetic, "Even if he really accepts his enemy and gets together with her, it should be a lie. He is going to defeat and kill her when she is not alert.
Since she is an enemy, the relations.h.i.+p must have reached the point where only one of you can survive. It can't be saved!"
Mo Junyang's look suddenly changed, and his gaze instantly turned fierce, as if he were to swallow him alive. Mo Junyu was startled. He stuttered and asked, "What, what's the matter with you?"
"Nothing." Mo Junyang took back his malice in a moment, and just replied in a low voice, then he turned around, which showed he was unwilling to talk again.
But Mo Junyu couldn't be reconciled. He finally made Mo Junyang answer his question, who usually ignored him, so he hurriedly asked, "Are you really fond of an enemy and planning to have a pathetic love affair which makes you love and hurt each other?"
Mo Junyang began to ignore him again.
The more Mo Junyang ignored him, the more motivated Mo Junyu was. He even made up a story that Mo Junyang met the beauty he had framed before, which he absolutely could do with Mo Junyang's evil character, and then they fell in love with each other and would belong to n.o.body else but each other, so that even s.h.i.+ Qingxue wasn't a priority... Something like this.
So the Crown Prince, with the hope for a greater surprise in this matter, said leisurely, "Since you don't have the mood to mind s.h.i.+ Qingxue's business, I will tell the subordinates not to pay attention to the s.h.i.+ Family any more. And we don't take care of the matter this time. It's not our force, anyway. Even if they really cause great trouble and it is no longer peaceful in this family, it won't be of our business."
Mo Junyang immediately looked cold and snorted, "Aren't you calling her Sister Xue? And you have also said that she can turn to you no matter what difficulties she encounters. Do you turn against her ruthlessly now?"
"Uh..." the Crown Prince became awkward when he heard those words. After he was stiff for a long while, he reluctantly argued, "At that time, I made that promise because of you. After all, Duke s.h.i.+ has always been a pure and honest official. There is no chance to make him our force. Then how is it possible for me to be nice to his family for no reason. Not only will I gain any benefits, but I may be suspected by the one above us!"
The more he said, the more confident Mo Junyu was. And he simply said at last, "If you really don't want to mind this business, we will just stand by and watch it."
Anyway, muddy water made it easy to get the fis.h.!.+
Mo Junyang pursed his lips tightly, his expression was dignified. He was totally not as indifferent and ruthless as he used to be.
The two were in a stalemate for a long while. Then Mo Junyang gave up and looked away. He said with a little helplessness in his tone, "I have my own arrangements for this matter. You don't need to take care of it!"
After that, Mo Junyang didn't give Mo Junyu the opportunity to keep on asking and went to meet Leng Yuan straightforwardly.
Mo Junyu raised his eyebrows in surprise, thinking that he had heard it wrong - Mo Junyang really didn't plan to mind s.h.i.+ Qingxue's life any more?
So did the sigh before mean that he was helpless or that he completely gave up?
Before he made it clear whether it was good or not for Mo Junyang to give up, Mo Junyang's next move made him understand that he was completely wrong.
How was it possible that Mo Junyang gave up? He was totally enchanted!
Because the next day, Mo Junyang, as King Rui's eldest son, found Zhou Youcheng, Zhou Ruru's father, who was an official of the ninth grade in the capital city.
No one knew what they had talked. But two days later, Zhou Youcheng came to the house of the s.h.i.+ Family in person and tied Zhou Ruru up and brought her back home no matter whether she was willing or not, she was really tied up with a rope!
There was no other way. Zhou Ruru was so crazy about being the wife of Duke s.h.i.+, so she refused to leave.
But Zhou Youcheng even disregarded Mo Shujun's detainment and took Zhou Ruru away toughly, like fleeing from famine. Within three days, he tied Zhou Ruru up and sent her into a wedding sedan. He married her to a small city on the border, which was thousands of kilometers away from the capital city. It seemed that he didn't want to see his daughter come back in his life.
Such a quick and ruthless behavior made many people who were waiting to laugh at the s.h.i.+ Family astonished. They all thought that this world was changing too fast and people could by no means understand it.
Even those in the s.h.i.+ Family didn't understand what had happened.
s.h.i.+ Junhe grabbed s.h.i.+ Qingxue and asked, "Did you do anything to drive Zhou Ruru away?"
s.h.i.+ Qingxue shook her head in confusion, "No, I didn't do anything."
s.h.i.+ Junhe murmured in doubt, "Why did Zhou Youcheng bow to us specially before he left?"
"What?" s.h.i.+ Qingxue was shocked and suddenly thought of a possible reason. But she immediately denied it.
Mo Junyang had already shown an att.i.tude of keeping a distance from her. Maybe he didn't even know what had happened to the s.h.i.+ Family these days. How could he help her?
s.h.i.+ Qingxue suppressed the anxiety in her heart and showed a relaxed smile to s.h.i.+ Junhe, "Daddy, after all, it is good for us that Zhou Ruru is gone. Don't think about it any more. Let's think how to get mother back! It is Lunar New Year's Eve soon and we need to gather together!"
s.h.i.+ Junhe's face was suddenly helpless, and he ran back with embarra.s.sment to find a solution.
In fact, it was not hard to make Dong Hui return to the house of the s.h.i.+ Family, especially when Zhou Ruru had left and it had been peacefully in the s.h.i.+ Family. When s.h.i.+ Junhe brought sons and daughters to her home and begged her, she was immediately tenderhearted and came back to the house of the s.h.i.+ Family.
The Lunar New Year's Eve at the end of the 41st year of the Mo Dynasty was a very good day. Mo Junhao also brought back a pretty exciting news that the riot caused by the snow disaster, which used to trouble the capital city as well as the surrounding areas every winter, was solved easily by him.
The snow this year was still very heavy, but Mo Junhao brought people to prepare for the preventive work around the capital city as early as possible, in order to minimize the influence of the snow disaster. He also led the victims to make progress together. Besides, the food for the victims to survive the disaster offered by the government was sufficient this time. Therefore, the riot which should be barely suppressed by the army before was resolved by Mo Junhao.
When the Emperor, Mo Xiangbin, was informed of this news, he was overjoyed. Not only did he reward Mo Junhao a lot, but he also made an order that he would go to the Palace in the Wen City in person to recuperate, accompanied by several favored princes and King Rui's eldest son, apart from Mo Junhao. At the same time, Empress Dowager made an imperial decree that she would go to the Peace Temple in the Wen City to burn incense and wors.h.i.+p Buddha, accompanied by Qin Yanyan, the future Fourth Princess, Zhao Zhu'er, the only daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Zhao Ming, Leng Jing, the daughter of the a.s.sistant Minister of the Ministry of War Leng Yuan, Chen Xiujiao, the second daughter of the Imperial Censor, and Duke s.h.i.+'s two daughters.
s.h.i.+ Qingxue heard this decree at the palace banquet, she was not surprised that she should accompany them to go. But seeing Mo Junhao's complacent face at the banquet, she felt much annoyed.
Anyone who had a brain could find that Mo Xiangbin's arrangement was just to exalt Mo Junhao's Family. She was mad while thinking of this.
It had been more than half a year since her rebirth. Although it had changed a lot, she still hadn't been able to threaten the status of Mo Junhao, her mortal enemy. In this way, when would she really have her revenge?
"Sister Xue, why are you outside and standing in cold wind alone?" Mo Junyu's gentle voice suddenly sounded behind s.h.i.+ Qingxue, startling her.
s.h.i.+ Qingxue turned to look at him, Mo Junyu was also glancing at her with an inquiry. The deep meaning in his eyes made her alert, "What can I do for you, Your Highness?"
Mo Junyu smiled with kindness and didn't answer her. Instead, he came up with another topic, "King Rui's eldest son has been unhappy these days. He doesn't even enter the palace often. I don't know what he is up to in the house of King Rui, so I'm quite worried. I wonder whether you know something or not."
s.h.i.+ Qingxue was shocked in her heart, and a little panic could be found on her small face. But she immediately pretended to be calm and said, "I'm afraid Your Highness asks a wrong person. I am not familiar with His Excellency, and we haven't met each other for a long time. So I have no idea."
"Unfamiliar?" Mo Junyu's smile disappeared, and he frowned.
Suddenly he felt that Mo Junyang's hard work had been wasted, because it was just in exchange of a judgement that they were unfamiliar. When he spoke again, his tone became a bit colder, "It seemed that he was being officious to find Zhou Youcheng specially for someone a few days before. Well, no wonder he has been upset recently. He helps an ungrateful soul. Who won't be disappointed?"
s.h.i.+ Qingxue did understand that Mo Junyu was satirizing that she was ungrateful, but she cared more about another matter, "You said that Mo Junyang had found Zhou Youcheng? What did he do?"
Mo Junyu raised an eyebrow and sneered, "What did he do? You really don't know?"
s.h.i.+ Qingxue was speechless.
Yeah, how did she not know that Mo Junyang was a completely ruthless person no matter in her previous life or in this life. If it were not because of her, why would he have minded such matters that got himself no benefits at all?
But wasn't he unwilling to see her? Why did he do this kind of thing?
When s.h.i.+ Qingxue expressed her doubts, the sarcasm in Mo Junyu's eyes turned into surprise, and then he said firmly, "No way! Even if my gender were changed, it should be impossible for him to be unwilling to see you."
s.h.i.+ Qingxue was amused by Mo Junyu's silly words. She imagined the Crown Prince as a girl secretly in her heart and she couldn't help laughing out again. Her disappointment on account of having been ignored by Mo Junyang also vanished a little. She only said in doubts, "You also saw it at the Yinfeng Lake that day. He wouldn't even like to see me."
"This..." Mo Junyu was also confused by Mo Junyang's att.i.tude. And the conversation even made him more puzzled.
Later, he investigated for a long time but didn't find out who the so-called enemy of Mo Junyang was. When he looked at s.h.i.+ Qingxue again, he suddenly asked, "Do you know whether Junyang has a mortal enemy related to life and death?"
