"Wait."

Right at the time when Princess Royal was mad, how would there still be anyone who dared to risk his life to meet with such anger?

What kind of warrior was this guy?

The crowd looked at where the voice sounded, and they found that the person who spoke was exactly Mo Junyang, he entered the room with s.h.i.+ Qingxue and sat there after greeting and pretended to be invisible.

King Rui was the younger brother of the current Emperor. As the eldest son of King Rui, Mo Junyang should reasonably call Mo Shujun Great-aunt.

But King Rui was never in peace with Emperor Wen, Mo Xiangbin. And he was still in charge of a strong army.

The person of whom Mo Xiangbin was afraid was surely powerful and dignified.

Mo Shujun didn't want to be against with King Rui. She had to suppress the anger and asked, "Mo Junyang, what's your opinion?"

Mo Junyang bowed again, full of courtesy, saying, "The Family of Duke s.h.i.+ has always valued etiquette and believed that everything should be reasonable and well-founded. Now that this maid is just found having the rewards from Emperor with her, and it is still not certain whether she is framed up, but she is about to be tortured until she confesses. I am afraid that it will tarnish the reputation of the s.h.i.+ Family. So I hope that Princess Royal should think twice."

Whoever in the s.h.i.+ Family said that, Mo Shujun could glare at him and make him shut up.

But this person was Mo Junyang. If he was not satisfied, this matter could be spread out at any time.

Although she wasn't afraid, she didn't want to make the matter big, and could only be angry in her heart, who led this guy into the door?

"What are you talking about? Grandma is merciful and kind to her servants. How could she punish Dong Shuang if the evidence is not conclusive? You must not stigmatize my grandma!" s.h.i.+ Qingxue grumbled, as if she was very dissatisfied that Mo Junyang was impolite to Mo Shujun.

But because of the sweet voice, the scolding words seemed to be coquettish.

Only a pair of her glittering eyes seemed to be angry, but Mo Junyang was regarding it as a wink.

This anger came all in a sudden, but Mo Junyang thought about it and knew what his kitten was planning.

He couldn't help but admire Qingxue's intelligence. She thought of the countermeasure right after he made a start. His getting involved in this matter for good intention was worthy.

Immediately he cooperated with a serious expression, and asked, "But I just heard what you said, and no one saw this maid stealing with their own eyes. How could there be conclusive evidence? Even if someone found the stolen rewards in her room, she might have been framed by others, right?

Besides, it is impossible for a maid to enter her master's room without the order, isn't it to tell others that she has a guilty conscience in her heart? Should there be any other reason?"

s.h.i.+ Qingxue's arrogant flame suddenly withered, and she felt aggrieved and retreated, squatting beside Mo Shujun, and said pitifully, "Grandma, Dong Shuang entered my study room because of my order. I asked her to go to my study room and get my waist token. I forgot to bring it yesterday."

"And Sixth Lady was not at home yesterday." Mo Junyang then came up with another doubt.

s.h.i.+ Qingxue tilted her head and seemed to be ignorant of it, "Yesterday I stayed in Third Princess's palace with Dong Shuang, but that was all in yesterday. The theft in the study room happened today. Is there any connection between the two matters?"

Mo Junyang smiled slightly and asked calmly, "The maid who just came back to the house of the s.h.i.+ Family today entered your study room, how could she just steal your things and hide them in her own room at the same time?"

"Ah?" s.h.i.+ Qingxue suddenly became stupid with this question.

Why didn't she think of it?

s.h.i.+ Qingxue wrinkled her small face, as if she could never find any refutation of Mo Junyang's words. She could only turn to Mo Shujun for help with disappointment, and complained grievously, "Grandmother, I can't argue back!"

She was almost like a little kid who quarreled with another child but didn't win and could only go back to ask her adult for help!

Mo Junyang looked at it aside and almost laughed out. His baby was really good at acting.

Turning around and looking at Zhou Ruyu, she was relieved because of s.h.i.+ Qingxue's childish waywardness, probably thinking that this was what Sixth Lady who was spoiled and framed to death by them should be.

Mo Shujun looked at Mo Junyang with a little blame, comforting s.h.i.+ Qingxue softly, "Qingxue, don't be upset. What Mo Junyang thought was not completely unreasonable. According to his words, maybe the theft was not done by Dong Shuang actually."

"Really?" s.h.i.+ Qingxue opened her eyes full of tears, and seemed to be puzzled.

After Mo Shujun nodded affirmatively, s.h.i.+ Qingxue immediately seemed to completely be changed into another person.

Standing up with her arms folded, she said to Zhou Ruyu with anger, "Auntie, you had no evidence at all, and wronged my servant for no reason. She was bruised all over. You also misled grandma and all of us. If anything that is bad for grandmother's reputation is spread out, how do you save it?"

This initiative argument stunned everyone, especially Zhou Ruyu, and it was so hard for her to explain!

Originally, she should be a person who stood by and expected greater mess. Why was she dragged to the center of the trouble all of a sudden?

Facing with Mo Shujun's cold eyes, Zhou Ruyu was so nervous that she started to sweat. She quickly explained, "I hope mother to make decision more carefully. There was indeed someone who saw this girl hiding in the study room secretly, and then those stolen rewards were found in her room, so that I thought..."

"Well! Is what you think sure to be true? Dong Shuang went back to the house to get my waist token because of my order. You caught her without even asking, and framed her to steal something. You are definitely trying to make me shameful!" s.h.i.+ Qingxue sobbed deliberately, looking so pitifully.

Zhou Ruyu was uncomfortable with her coquettish appearance, and she repeatedly showed her guilt, "Qingxue, you have misunderstood me. Why do I intentionally make you shameful? It is really..."

Suddenly her sight fell on Chun Yu aside, and her voice suddenly increased, and she pointed at Chun Yu, saying, "It really wasn't that I didn't believe your maid. It's exactly because another maid of yours told me she saw Dong Shuang steal something and led us to find the stolen rewards in Dong Shuang's room. Then I captured her and brought her to the front of my mother."

s.h.i.+ Qingxue thought for a while, and suddenly muttered, "Chun Yu seems to be in the same room with Dong Shuang."

Such a seemingly inadvertent sentence made Chun Yu, who was about to become a hero, become the target of everyone's criticism.

Chun Yu was so frightened that she fell to her knees on the ground, and hurriedly kowtowed to beg for mercy. But she couldn't speak normally, "No, no, I didn't. I..."

It was like that she had confessed her crime without even being asked!

s.h.i.+ Qingxue seemed not to understand, and looked at Chun Yu strangely, "What are you nervous about? I didn't say you stole anything and framed Dong Shuang."

Everyone, "..."

Mo Junyang, "Ha ha!"

His girl was so cute. She was acting completely as a fool, and it was not leaky from her expression to action, making people have no arguments and not able to find that she was pretending.

Of course, other people couldn't act stupid as s.h.i.+ Qingxue.

Especially Mo Shujun, she was almost put up by a little servant. If she really made a wrong decision, her reputation would be all ruined.

She stared at Chun Yu fiercely, cursing coldly, "You little thief. Not only did you steal your master's things, but also framed the sister in the same room. You are really abominable! How can an evil servant like you still be in my house? Someone, whip her fifty times. Then remove her from the list of servants in the house and send her to the jail."

Seeing that Mo Shujun had convicted her without any hesitation, Chun Yu was frightened and burst into tears, and desperately begged her for mercy, kowtowing, "Third Madam, please save me! I am not intentional. I..."

As s.h.i.+ Qingxue's second-cla.s.s maid, even though s.h.i.+ Qingxue seemed not to care about whether she would be alive or not, but Zhou Ruyu was the one from whom Chun Yu begged for mercy in a critical moment, it would really cause others' imagination.

s.h.i.+ Qingxue and Mo Junyang looked at each other, and read the thoughts from each other's eyes.

They hadn't spoken yet, but Zhou Ruyu was panicked, and hurriedly clarified the relations.h.i.+p with Chun Yu, "d.a.m.ned maid, I'm not your master. You made a mistake by yourself and you should confess to your master. It has nothing to do with me!"

Chun Yu suddenly realized it, and she immediately turned around to s.h.i.+ Qingxue and knocked her head on the ground, "Sixth Lady, it was really just a wrong thought in pa.s.sing. Please forgive me this time, and don't send me to jail, or I will really die!"

s.h.i.+ Qingxue knew that Chun Yu was not faithful to her early, and she wished that Mo Shujun would remove this servant for her.

However, at this moment, she thought that she still needed to make Chun Yu stay here to figure out what had happened first, but when Mo Shujun was furious and Zhou Ruyu was stirring up the trouble, how could she take over the power of handling Chun Yu?

It should be her to blame for having acting too much a moment ago. Mo Shujun valued her face so much, and she lost her face in public because of them. Wouldn't she just abreact all her anger on Chun Yu?

Not to mention sending her to jail, it was even possible to beat her to death. This was exactly helping Zhou Ruyu ruin the evidence!

Qingxue closed her lips tightly and couldn't think of a good way for a while. She couldn't help secretly look at Mo Junyang.

His gaze also happened to be on her. With a calm face and a smile on his lips, he seemed to be saying, "I had a way."

s.h.i.+ Qingxue was anxious, and the look of help in her eyes was more obvious, "Then tell me!"

Mo Junyang raised his eyebrows slightly, leaned on the back of the chair, and looked lazy, "You begged me!"

Qingxue gritted her teeth, and she almost wanted to bite this leisurely guy to death. But in the end she put up with it and squeezed a smile at him, "OK, this time I beg you!"

King Rui's eldest son nodded with satisfaction, and accepted s.h.i.+ Qingxue's request in peace.

But even with Mo Junyang's promise, s.h.i.+ Qingxue still felt anxious in her heart.

What skill did this man have to make Mo Shujun have no time to pay attention to Chun Yu's crime?

When she was thinking about it, Mo Junyang's face suddenly turned pale. His head tilted, and he pa.s.sed out.

"Master!" Qu Yuebai exclaimed, scaring everyone.

Mo Shujun got up from her seat suddenly, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Mo Junyang?"

Qu Yuebai looked sad, as if he was extremely frightened, and stuttered, "My master has always been weak. When he was preparing to return to home today to rest, he encountered Sixth Lady. Seeing that there was no servant next to Sixth Lady, he was afraid that something would happen, so he wanted to send Sixth Lady back home first. But it's unexpected that..."

This pause was so smart!

At the end, Qu Yuebai still bowed his head and muttered to himself, "What if King Rui knows it?"

King Rui only had one son, and that was Mo Junyang. If something happened to him in the house of Duke s.h.i.+, it would be a big deal.

In particular, if they really focused on this matter, the fact was that Mo Junyang would appear in the house of the s.h.i.+ Family because they caught Dong Shuang so that s.h.i.+ Qingxue didn't have anyone to accompany her back to the house.

Mo Shujun was anxious immediately, and called the servants quickly, "Are your subordinates useless? Don't you see that King Rui's eldest son has pa.s.sed out? Hold him to rest in the guest room first. Then, send someone to invite Dr. Shen here to treat him."

"Yes, Madam!"

The crowd immediately moved in a hurry, and they couldn't even care about Chun Yu who was about to be punished.

s.h.i.+ Qingxue saw Mo Junyang's face pale like snow, and her heart was tightened suddenly.

He didn't seem to be pretending. Should anything really happen to him?

She suddenly was reminded that Mo Junyang was not in good health in the previous life.
