Chapter 13 - Unpeaceful Boudoir

Shi Qingxue saw Dong Hui looked anxious and extremely worried, she took back the words which had reached her lips.

Firstly, she hadn’t figured out Mo Junyu’s purpose, and secondly, she really didn’t want her mother to worry about these things again.

Dong Hui was surprised by Qingxue’s sly expression, and then laughed, “You shrewdness! Well! If that skilled doctor can really cure Ning, then I will be at ease!”

Dong Hui always felt that she didn’t pay much attention to her physical health when she was pregnant, which led to her daughter’s bad health since she was young. Needless to say how guilty she was!

“He definitely will. Mother, you can rest assured!” Shi Qingxue knew Dong Hui’s guilt, and said firmly to pass this firm conviction to her mother.

Dong Hui’s face was a little bit cheerful and she chuckled, “I hope! The trouble is that Baoyan will also go with you. She has been jealous of you since she was a child, and she vies with you for no matter what. How many problems will she cause on the way?”

Having said that, Dong Hui couldn’t help but grit her teeth, “It was all because of damn Madam Zhou. She just couldn’t stand seeing us live well, and always encouraged Baoyan to fight with you!”

“Flies don’t bite seamless eggs. If she really is with us, how can she be provoked by others?” Shi Qingxue sneered, and her look was disdainful.

“You are…” Dong Hui frowned, and seemed not very satisfied with Qingxue’s attitude, whispered comfortingly, “It’s okay that you and Baoyan have some little quarrels and mess around in spare time, but she is from our First Master’s family anyway. We can’t betray and ruin the relationship among our own families, which will be joked by others!”

How proud Shi Qingxue was that she might not lower her head when she actually did something wrong, let alone being provoked. She would never be treated wrongly.

Therefore, in her last life, she did not like to hear Dong Hui say those words to settle problems, and thought that her mother was not grand enough, so she was closer to her grandmother who spoiled her and looked graceful and dignified.

But having been reborn, Shi Qingxue knew more and understood more.

Shi Qingxue knew Dong Hui’s pains clearly. Having heard Dong Hui’s words, although she still did not agree with Dong Hui’s approach, she would not despise her, but even felt distressed.

If it were not…

Qingxue suppressed inappropriate thoughts and gave Dong Hui a reassuring smile, “Mother, don’t worry. I won’t let them find any opportunity to trouble you!”

Dong Hui was reminded of Shi Qingxue’s performance for the whole day, and she smiled a little bit again, “You are really sensible. When your grandmother asked you, I thought you would reject it instantly! Then Madam Zhou surely would say bad things about you to mother!”

Like she disrespected sister, and was eager for merit. Zhou Ruyu’s mouth could ruin a good girl.

In the past, Shi Qingxue did often conflict with Zhou Ruyu. Although Zhou Ruyu seemed not to dare to stand on the side against Qingxue, her secret approaches were endless, which would disgust others and corrupt Qingxue’s reputation.

“Don’t you worry about it. I have a sense of propriety.” Shi Qingxue smiled and looked like that she didn’t care about it at all.

She was just worried about Dong Hui, so she softly reminded, “My father and I are not at home these days, and you have to be careful. If something happens, just wait until I come back!”

Dong Hui knew what her daughter was referring to, and felt warmer in her heart. She nodded, and said a few more words before letting Qingxue leave.

“Sixth Lady, do you really take Fifth Lady to Mang Mountain?” As soon as she returned to Luotong Boudoir, Dong Shuang couldn’t help but hurriedly ask.

Shi Qingxue nodded, “Yeah, why?”

Dong Shuang was even more anxious, “It was you who found the skilled doctor, but Fifth Lady got involved. She clearly wanted to grab your merit. She’s too shameless!”

Dong Shuang always talked straightforward, and didn’t worry about anything while speaking. She didn’t realize she was slandering her master at all.

Xia Mang aside frowned, and scolded, “What are you saying? Talk about your masters. You miss the punishment, right?”

Dong Shuang was scolded and her vigor weakened. She stuck her tongue out embarrassedly, pulled Xia Mang’s clothes with her small hand, and begged in a low voice, “I was just straightforward then, and I hope that you will forgive me.”

“Go away. You, if you don’t change the words you say, sooner or later, you will cause trouble to Sixth Lady!” Xia Mang pretended to be strict and scolded.

Dong Shuang quickly gestured to seal her mouth, and seemed to be complaining to Shi Qingxue, “Sixth Lady, look at this. Mang is really a big figure. You haven’t even scolded me yet. She has already made that stance!”

These words were said in front of Xia Mang, so of course she was joking!

Shi Qingxue also knew that these two servants often made fun of each other and didn’t care, but instead she also joked, “Xia Mang is the servant who is in charge of Luotong Boudoir. How can she do it without momentum? I am not able to scold you these little pricks!”

Xia Mang stamped her feet shyly when she heard those words, “Master, you don’t have to scold Dong Shuang. Besides, why do you help her bully me?”

Dong Shuang, arms akimbo, smiled complacently, “Sixth Lady likes me! You can be envious but you can’t get it!”

“Dong Shuang, it’s your blessing that Sixth Lady likes you. How can you be so proud and complacent?” A clear voice suddenly interjected, and then they saw Chun Yu walking into the room with a delicate vase.

Dong Shuang didn’t hear the jealousy in Chun Yu’s words, and thought she was only joking. She pretended to be arrogant and laughed, “I said the truth. Sixth Lady, do you agree?”

She also wanted to grab Shi Qingxue as an alliance…

Shi Qingxue smiled and pointed at the tip of Dong Shuang’s nose and didn’t answer, but asked Chun Yu, “Why are you here?”

Chun Yu didn’t realize that the smile in Qingxue’s eyes faded away, she smiled even more brilliantly. She passed the vase to the front of Qingxue and smiled sweetly, “I know that Sixth Lady loves hibiscus flower the most. I saw those in the yard just now, which bloomed so well, so I picked two to decorate your room.”

She did what Shi Qingxue liked, thinking she would definitely please Sixth Lady. But when she looked up and saw Shi Qingxue’s expression, her thoughts suddenly changed.
