The Great Planned Marriage: Becoming A Splendid Princess Chapter 87

Chapter 87 Get Close to Me

s.h.i.+ Qingxue glanced at s.h.i.+ Baoyou and was surprised that she had told the truth.

It was her first time to see such an honest person, and she didn't know what to say.

However, s.h.i.+ Baojin didn't believe Baoyou's words, or rather, she couldn't accept that. She snorted. “Ha, you two are so close, so you would certainly give false testimony for her. I am so poor. Even my sister helps an outsider. It's so sad.”

She even mentioned the blood relations.h.i.+p to judge the closeness. All that s.h.i.+ Baoyou explained couldn't be a reason.

Baoyou's face was pale and she lowered her head. She tried to grab Baojin's sleeve in a hurry. “No, I didn't help Qingxue. I just…”

s.h.i.+ Baojin shook off her hand and said crossly, “You don't need to pretend kind. Just go to flatter s.h.i.+ Qingxue. I am going to see what you will get.”

Her voice was loud and went out of the shed. Every onlooker looked as if they were to watch a play of the s.h.i.+ Family. Especially Qin Yanyan even laughed loud.

s.h.i.+ Qingxue was clear that if s.h.i.+ Baojin continued to make a scene, the s.h.i.+ Family would be a laughingstock. She looked at s.h.i.+ Baojin with a grim face and lowered her voice to warn her. “s.h.i.+ Baojin, I don't care what you are going to do. But you'd better get changed and apply some medicine. Otherwise, I won't stay here with you to embarra.s.s yourself.”

It appeared that if s.h.i.+ Baojin continued to make a fuss, Qingxue would knock her out and take her away.

s.h.i.+ Baojin couldn't endure being provoked, but at this time, she had to bear Qingxue's threat. After all, it was fine to have an internal fight, but it was another problem if the enemies laughed at them.

She glared at s.h.i.+ Qingxue, and left with Xiao Tao's help.

s.h.i.+ Baoyou followed them with concern in her eyes, as if s.h.i.+ Baojin hadn't abused her just now.

“Gee, I thought all the members of Third Master's Family in your mansion are bad except s.h.i.+ Baochun. I didn't expect that s.h.i.+ Baoyou looks decent.” As soon as Mo Yuzhen drove away the ladies who pestered her, she moved close to s.h.i.+ Qingxue.

s.h.i.+ Qingxue sighed. “I just met s.h.i.+ Baoyou a few days ago and don't know her.”

Mo Yuzhen was astonished. “Then why did she help you?”

s.h.i.+ Qingxue smiled and showed a complex expression on her face. She just replied simply, “Maybe she was born to be decent, as you said.”

“Huh!” Mo Yuzhen wouldn't be so naïve and asked, “What happened just now? s.h.i.+ Baojin tried to make trouble for you again?”

They didn't speak loud in the shed, and the outsiders just heard the quarrel. It was obvious that s.h.i.+ Baoyou sided with Qingxue and had a conflict with Baojin.

“I gave a cup of tea to s.h.i.+ Baojin, and threw the cup by accident. The tea splashed over her, and she got angry.”

s.h.i.+ Qingxue told her directly and summed up what had happened in a few words.

Mo Yuzhen asked immediately, “s.h.i.+ Baojin did it on purpose?”

“No,” s.h.i.+ Qingxue answered automatically. Then she stared at Mo Yuzhen in surprise. “Why do you think so?”

Mo Yuzhen took it for granted and answered, “You don't like to make trouble. Every time you have a conflict, she is the one who starts it, right?”

Fine, it became a convention. Anyone who had eyes could see that. The problem was whether they would choose to be blind sometimes or even call black white.

s.h.i.+ Qingxue shrugged but didn't put the blame on s.h.i.+ Baojin. “It was not her. This time she was innocent indeed.”

As far as she knew, s.h.i.+ Baojin wouldn't drag her down at the price of injuring herself.

But Mo Yuzhen didn't believe it and thought s.h.i.+ Qingxue was defending Baojin. She looked displeased. “You are one of my people. You have suffered injustice but don't tell me. Don't you take me as your friend?”

“I didn't mean that, but this was an accident…” Maybe s.h.i.+ Baojin had told too many lies, so she had lost her creditability, even if s.h.i.+ Qingxue justified her.

Mo Yuzhen snorted and forcefully interrupted Qingxue. “When you were favored in the past, she didn't dare to bully you openly. Now she just marries the second son of the Zhao Family. Does she think she can do anything?”

s.h.i.+ Qingxue couldn't help laughing. “To be frank, she hasn't married.”

Her wedding would be held in half a month.

Mo Yuzhen's eyes lit up. She clapped and said happily, “Right. How could I have forgotten it? She hasn't married yet. Qingxue, see what I will help you get even with her!”

“What are you going to do?” s.h.i.+ Qingxue asked nervously.

She wasn't worried about Baojin's safety. After Baojin had sent someone to insult her, their kins.h.i.+p had been cut off. Now they could live in peace only because she agreed to leave it to Mo Junyang. If Mo Yuzhen got involved at this time, would she ruin Junyang's plan?

Mo Yuzhen didn't ask for Qingxue's permission. After making the decision, she smiled at Qingxue slyly and then left excitedly, even when her friend tried to stop her.

“My Lady, will there be something wrong?” Xia Mang had witnessed everything and felt worried, too.

s.h.i.+ Qingxue had no idea and sighed helplessly. “Who knows? By the way, how is s.h.i.+ Baojin?”

In private, she didn't want to hide that she was distant to s.h.i.+ Baojin and just called her full name.

Xia Mang shook her head. “I just led the doctor to check on Lady Baojin, but she asked the doctor to stay and drove me away, so I don't know how serious her injury is.”

“I am afraid that she will take the chance to make trouble again.”

Xia Mang was confused. “What can she do? You gave her a cup of tea to show respect, but she was rude as she didn't accept it. What's more, it was not you who threw the cup purposely.”

Why did s.h.i.+ Baojin blame Qingxue?

s.h.i.+ Qingxue smiled bitterly and stopped talking with Xia Mang about s.h.i.+ Baojin. “I want to go out for a walk.”

Xia Mang was surprised and responded quickly, “I will keep you company.”

“No, thanks. Have a rest here. I want to be alone.”

s.h.i.+ Qingxue found a quiet place and didn't want to be disturbed. However, as soon as she had a seat, someone moved close to her. “Little Qingxue, you are here? What a coincidence.”

s.h.i.+ Qingxue had selected a place near the cliff and hid in the forest, difficult to be found. But just after she sat down, Mo Junhao came here soon. n.o.body could believe it was a coincidence.

She rolled her eyes at Mo Junhao and didn't even pretend to be polite. She still stared at the cliff, waiting for him to leave when he got angry.

However, Mo Junhao didn't get mad after being ignored. He moved two steps forward and said with sincerity, “We grew up together since childhood and used to be close, although we have to keep a distance after coming of age because of the different genders. Qingxue, do you hate me for that?”

“No. Your Highness, you think too much,” s.h.i.+ Qingxue replied coldly and disdained to pretend obedient in front of Mo Junhao. Then she kept silent.

Mo Junhao still didn't get angry. With love on her face, he asked, “Then why didn't you get close to me?”

s.h.i.+ Qingxue was annoyed and sneered. “Didn't you say that we should remember that we have different genders?”

Mo Junhao was unable to respond. After a while, he said, “But we can't ruin our friends.h.i.+p.”

While speaking, he had come to s.h.i.+ Qingxue, just half a meter away from her.

s.h.i.+ Qingxue cursed in her heart, “Shameless. Who has friends.h.i.+p with you?”

If it wasn't the wrong time to offend Mo Junhao openly, she would have slapped this jerk.

s.h.i.+ Qingxue gritted her teeth and forced to restrain her anger. She stepped back and stated expressionlessly, “It's necessary to remember our different genders. If your wife sees that we are so close, I don't think you can explain to her.”

She mentioned Qin Yanyan just to remind Mo Junhao to have scruples and disappear from her sight as soon as possible. Beyond her expectation, he didn't care but showed a brighter smile. He stepped forward again and grabbed Qingxue's wrist to pull her into his arms without hesitation. She could even sense his breaths.

s.h.i.+ Qingxue felt uncomfortable and resisted his chest, trying to push him away. But he had powerful strength and put his arm around her waist recklessly. They got closer and she could feel the warmth in his body.

s.h.i.+ Qingxue's face darkened in an instant, but she couldn't move. She had to question coldly, “Mo Junhao, what do you want?”

The young girl's fragrance entered his nose, and he was satisfied that he had her under control, with desire in his eyes obviously. “What do I want? Little Qingxue, you really don't know?”

“Let me go!” s.h.i.+ Qingxue couldn't believe that Mo Junhao dared to make out with her at this place. She was not panic, but she felt disgusted.

She looked at his happy face and wanted to throw up. Then without thinking, she stepped on his foot with all her strength.

Mo Junhao was in pain and his handsome face was almost twisted, but he still refused to let her go and held her more tightly. With one arm, he hugged her and restrained her both hands. And he reached out his right hand to touch her red and tender face.

“Mo Junhao!” s.h.i.+ Qingxue felt as if many disgusting caterpillars were on her face, and she had gooseflesh all over. However, she was small-sized and weak, no match for Mo Junhao, so she had to endure it.

Seeing that his hand was trying to touch her red lips greedily, Qingxue couldn't control herself. She would rather die from feeling disgusted than let him go. Then she bit his index finger.

“Ah!” he screamed.

s.h.i.+ Qingxue found that he had loosened his hand and pushed him away as hard as she could. Then she turned around and ran away, but she stopped after a few steps and looked ahead blankly.

After she pushed Mo Junhao, he staggered and almost fell. When he stood steadily again, he found that there was a third person here.

Mo Junhao put his left hand on his back and could still feel the pain on the part between the thumb and index finger. He didn't need to check on it and knew that it was swollen. But under the circ.u.mstances, he couldn't show the white feather. He glared at the uninvited comer. “Your Excellency, what can I do for you?”

s.h.i.+ Qingxue looked at Mo Junyang three or four meters away from her and then glanced at Mo Junhao. She suddenly realized that Mo Junyang did something to the attacker, so she could get rid of him.

Although she didn't want Mo Junyang to see her in a difficult position, she couldn't ignore the sense of security brought by him. She walked to him.

Her intention to seek protection was apparent.
