Chapter 45 - You Are My Finicky Boss!

However, Shi Qingxue did not give her the opportunity to defend herself at all, and said more indifferently right away, “I’m sorry, but Empress Dowager has given me the privilege to hang out in the palace freely since I was young, and no one has ever blamed me like this.

If you really have any disagreement with me, we should ask Empress Dowager to judge. Or if your words are spread out, let alone that others would think I’m arrogant, it would be really serious that they might accuse the Shi Family of being rude. And I am not able to take that blame!”

After that, it seemed that she was about to turn to Ling Ruiyin for justice since there was such a disagreement.

Mammy Ru was really embarrassed.

Could anyone tell her why this lady was so difficult to deal with?

If she were accused of so numerous crimes, she would definitely not survive from it.

“Sixth Lady, you have misunderstood me!” Mammy Ru didn’t dare to purposely make difficulties for Shi Qingxue, but explained shamelessly, “It’s all because I’m too clumsy of words. My status is low, and how do I have guts to criticize the Shi Family? I am just too worried that Her Majesty would blame you if we arrived too late. I don’t dare to speak ill of you.”

Shi Qingxue knew that she couldn’t really escape here, so she stopped with the trend, but she looked even angrier. She sneered, “Well! Are you saying that I am narrow minded and have wronged you?”

Mammy Ry hurriedly smiled and apologized again and again. She said in a humble voice, “How can it be? I say the wrong words, leading to your misunderstanding. Master, you are generous and please forgive me this time!”

“Mammy Ru, you are a fourth grade official anyway, and I’m not qualified to be your master.” Shi Qingxue was completely untouched.

Mammy Ru was so desperate in her heart at this moment. You were not my master, but you were my finicky boss!

Shi Qingxue then stopped blaming her, and said calmly, “Forget it. I’m generous. I won’t accuse you since this is the first time that you’ve made such a mistake. But if you do again, I won’t let it go so easily.”

“I don’t dare to. I won’t do it again!” Mammy Ru was overjoyed, so that she almost knelt in front of Shi Qingxue.

She didn’t dare to urge Shi Qingxue, but could only remind her vaguely, “Concubine Liu is still waiting in Peach Blossom Forest. So Sixth Lady, how about us…”

Shi Qingxue glanced at the dark road before her, and reluctantly replied, “Fine. You lead the way.”

The four walked slowly on the palace road. Even though Shi Qingxue took small steps and her pace was slow, Mammy Ru didn’t dare to urge her.

But just after a turn, Shi Qingxue stopped for the fourth time.

This time, Mammy Ru even wanted to die, but she didn’t dare to express her impatience. She asked carefully, “What’s the matter now, Sixth Lady?”

Shi Qingxue raised her little hand to wipe the sweat on her cheeks, and fanned herself with the handkerchief. Then she smiled in embarrassment, saying casually, “It’s already Mid-Autumn Festival, but it’s still so hot. I haven’t walked a long distance, but I am sweating now. It’s not proper to meet Concubine Liu with sweat. Mammy Ru, please wait a moment. Let me have a break, shall I?”

Mammy Ru, “…”

Could she say no?

Even if she knew that Shi Qingxue was pretending, she could only meet her requirement obediently and accompany Shi Qingxue standing at the corner to enjoy the cool wind.

These people walked for a while and had a rest over and over again, while Xia Mang hurried back to the banquet.

The madams and ladies of the Shi Family were talking to others and she couldn’t bother them. The only one whom she could turn to was Shi Baoning.

But when she spoke out the worry in her heart, Shi Baoning remained indifferent, and said, “It is a good thing that Concubine has called on her, so you don’t need to worry.”

Xia Mang was more anxious, and scratched her head to explain, “No. Even ghost doesn’t dare to go to Peach Blossom Forrest in the evening, let alone a person. Even if Concubine Liu would like to call on Sixth Lady, she shouldn’t choose such a dangerous place!”

“Isn’t that just Peach Blossom Forest? Maybe Concubine Liu just wants to admire the moon and blossoms with Qingxue and have a chat!” Shi Baoning didn’t feel anything wrong with that at all, but warned Xia Mang seriously, “Well, don’t talk nonsense. Be careful and don’t cause trouble for Qingxue! Return to your position and stand still quickly!”

After that, she waved her hand and didn’t pay attention to Xia Mang anymore.

Xia Mang failed to get the help. She walked around in the yard outside, anxious like an ant on a hot pot.

For a moment, she really wanted to go to Mo Shujun for help, but as Shi Baoning had said, how could the masters be convinced if she didn’t have the evidence?

What should she do?

“Who’s there?” Mo Junyu just drank a few glasses of wine with others and came outside for some fresh air. He saw a slim figure walking around at the corner and couldn’t help but yell.

Xia Mang was startled, and immediately lowered her head. She greeted him cautiously, “I am Xia Mang, the servant of Sixth Lady of the Shi Family. Your Highness.”

When Mo Junyu heard Shi Qingxue’s name, he took a closer look at Xia Mang and asked, “Don’t you need to look after your master? Why are you walking around here?”

Xia Mang had only seen Mo Junyu a few times, and she didn’t dare to lose her manners in front of the noble man, but Mo Junyu’s appearance was like a life-saving straw.

Grabbed this opportunity or not?

Mo Junyu also saw some clues. When Xia Mang didn’t answer him but hesitated, he continued to ask, “Where is Qingxue?”

Xia Mang still did not dare to answer.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to save her master, but she didn’t know the character of the person in front of her. How could she tell him all? What if she harmed her master by doing this?

“Well, you!” Seeing this, Mo Junyu knew that he couldn’t figure what had happened like this, then he turned around and said to Zhou Ji, the guard aside, “You go and invite Mo Junyang here.”

When Xia Mang heard Mo Junyang’s name, her eyes lit up, and she stared at the entrance of banquet desperately.

Mo Junyu laughed and said, “What? When you see me, you wouldn’t say anything. Once you hear that Mo Junyang is coming, your eyes light up. Is he more reliable than me?”

“No, I don’t dare to think that way!” Xia Mang thought that Mo Junyu was blaming her, and was so frightened that she knelt and begged for mercy, “It’s just that I’m so entrusted by my master, so that I dare not to tell it all casually. If Your Highness wants to blame me, I have no complaints, but please punish me after I save Sixth Lady out.”

Mo Junyu didn’t expect this girl to be so honest that he couldn’t even make a joke. He was about to make her stand up when he heard her words. But he couldn’t help but frown.

Before he asked, someone asked for him first, “What happened?”

Mo Junyu turned around to see that Mo Junyang was here. He shrugged and stepped aside.

When Xia Mang saw Mo Junyang, she rushed over as if he was the savior, crying, “Your Highness, please save Sixth Lady!”

Mo Junyang would not be kind to hold her up. He just asked coldly, “Say. What happened?”

“While Sixth Lady was enjoying the performance in her own seat, Mammy Ru, who works beside Concubine Liu, came to pass the message that Concubine Liu wanted Sixth Lady to meet her in Peach Blossom Forest…” Xia Mang wiped her tears and told everything happened before.

Mo Junyang frowned and thought for a moment, then asked, “Where is the cloak?”

“When I went to ask First Lady for help, I left the cloak on the seat.” Xia Mang answered with a stunned expression, confused.

Mo Junyang said again, “Go get the cloak and don’t make others notice you.”

Xia Mang was so anxious that her tears were about to fall. Seeing that Mo Junyang was still caring about such an irrelevant thing, she knelt there and didn’t make a move, “Your Highness, it’s unknown whether Sixth Lady is safe of not now. Please save her quickly! I’m afraid it would be too late if you don’t go now!”

Mo Junyang gave her a cold glance, “If you want to save your master, hurry up and bring her cloak.”

Xia Mang hesitated, but she had no other choice. Just had a try this time!

She gritted her teeth and hurried to the banquet.

Mo Junyu didn’t understand what Mo Junyang wanted to do after hearing it, and frowned, “I thought you would immediately go to Peach Blossom Forest after hearing it. Why? Aren’t you afraid anything would happen to her?”

Mo Junyang glanced at him coldly, and after a moment, he said firmly, “She will be fine.”

“Then what are you going to do?” Mo Junyu was not worried about Shi Qingxue’s safety, but was curious about Mo Junyang’s next move.

Mo Junyang smiled indifferently, “Since they are going to play tricks, I don’t mind helping them.”

Mo Junyu got goosebumps because of his voice, and thought that Liu Yiyi was really risking her life to provoke this demon.

In the Peach Blossom Forest, the peach trees were lush and the shade blocked most of the moonlight.

With the faint moonlight, it could be barely seen that a slim figure was wearing a water-blue hooded cloak and heading towards the depth of the forest, where it was dark.

The whole person was completely covered by the cloak and no one could see what the person looked like.

But a person who was familiar with it could recognize at a glance that this person was wearing the cloak which Shi Qingxue wore most often.

The person hurried and looked around at the same time, as if he was looking for something.

At this moment, a tall figure suddenly rushed out behind a peach tree next to that person, and then suddenly hugged the slim figure.

The person was startled, struggling and screaming, “Let go of me! Let go of me!”

It was a coquettish female voice.

The figure embraced that person even tighter, and at the same time he whispered in the ears of that person, “Xue, don’t move. It’s me.”

The person didn’t struggle any more, permitted his hug and called him in a very low voice, “Brother Hao.”

The beauty was in his arms and softly called him. Mo Junhao immediately pulled the person under a peach tree and began to touch her.

He first put his hand tentatively to the placket, seeing that she was just holding his hands softly and didn’t mean to struggle.

Mo Junhao was relieved, and his big hands went straight in from the placket, grabbed the breasts and then slowly kneaded them.

“Ah!” The person suddenly murmured with a low and sweet voice and was full of charm.

Mo Junhao didn’t plan to do it all here at first, but he couldn’t hold it when he heard the voice, especially when the small hands of that person seemed to be moving down along his waist muscles.

Even if he was confused by the initiative of Shi Qingxue, since he already reached so far, it would be a pity if he stopped at this moment.

In the Peach Blossom Forest, the two black shadows were entangled together, groaning from time to time, which could make others blush and quicken their pulse.

“Who is there?” A majestic male voice sounded suddenly, and the two people were startled and shocked.

The torches were also ignited, lighting up the surrounding area.

Mo Junhao embraced the figure tightly in his arms, who was trying to escape, thinking that she was finally here.
