Chapter 286 Conscience is a dog's lungs
After Shi Baoning left the study from Shi Qingxue, in addition to the horror that was suddenly frightened by the skull before, there was also a trace of jealousy on his face.
It's not obvious, but everyone present knows her very well, how can they not see what is going on in her heart?
Dong Hui understands the 'grievances' in Shi Baoning's heart, but both of them are his daughters, not to mention that this incident was not caused by Shi Qingxue.
Whether it is to blame Shi Qingxue or comfort Shi Baoning, it makes no sense.
She was trying to cover it up as if it hadn't happened.
Shi Junhe opened his mouth and said, "Huiniang, you and Chi'er go out, I have something to say to Ning'er." β
"Master, this ......" Dong Hui saw Shi Junhe's face full of solemnity, for fear that their father and daughter would have another conflict, and wanted to stop it.
But Shi Junhe only shook his head at her silently and firmly, signaling her to do what she said.
Dong Hui had no choice but to go out with Wen Renchi.
When only Shi Junhe and Shi Baoning were left in the room, Shi Baoning couldn't hold back the grievances in his heart anymore.
Without waiting for Shi Junhe to ask, he took the lead in asking: "What?" Does my father want to teach me a lesson for Sister Qingxue this time? β
Facing Shi Baoning's aggressive questioning, Shi Junhe's face did not change, and asked rhetorically: "Then what do you think is the need for me to teach you a lesson for your sister?" β
Shi Baoning choked, and his face was difficult to look at.
After a whileβmaybe because it was only Shi Junheβshe didn't bother to pretend, and snorted directly: "Father, you don't have to chew words with your daughter, I know that you must discipline me again, thinking that I can't treat Qingxue with such a bad attitude, thinking that she is the most innocent one, but have you ever thought about my feelings?" β
As Shi Baoning spoke, tears slid down her cheeks, and I felt pity.
She didn't wipe it, but continued to look directly at Shi Junhe with accusatory eyes, and asked in a cold voice: "Obviously, I am my grandfather's eldest granddaughter, and your eldest daughter should be higher than Qingxue in terms of age and status." But when my grandfather entrusted someone else on his deathbed, not only did he not choose me, but he probably forgot me at all, right? Otherwise, how could outsiders not know that I am also your own daughter?
...... in the living room just now"
Shi Baoning recalled the scene at that time, with a painful and embarrassed look on his face, and after a while, he pressed it down again, regained peace, and continued: "I think there is no place that is inferior to Qingxue, and even I know my identity well, I have learned restraint and dignity since I was a child, although I can't do it to the level of my grandmother, but it is better than Qingxue, who has been greedy and willful since childhood...... "It's ten times, a hundred times!"
She didn't finish her next words, but finally swallowed them back in Shi Junhe's cold gaze.
But the resentment and unwillingness on his face could not be completely withdrawn.
Shi Junhe saw it clearly, and his mind was even more indescribably complicated.
He wasn't completely unaware of Shi Baoning - didn't he flash the same doubts when he was in the living room just now, wondering why Shi Lei chose to entrust the young and unreliable-looking Shi Qingxue instead of him?
Even his mood at the time was a little sour.
However, now, he has no such thoughts at all.
In the face of Shi Baoning's jealousy, which was no longer hidden, Shi Junhe asked calmly: "If it were, what would you do?" β
"What?" Shi Baoning was slightly stunned, and then understood what his father was asking?
If Shi Lei entrusted her to be the one who handed over the relic wrapped in red cloth to her, she opened it and suddenly saw the white bones inside......
With that visual impact effect, Shi Baoning was likely to be so frightened that he directly lost all the 'relics' at hand.
Thinking of this, Shi Baoning's little face changed color again, and her original arrogance disappeared, but she refused to show her cowardice in front of Shi Junhe, and straightened her chest, "I, I know that it is a relic left by my grandfather, no matter how terrible it is, I will take good care of it, and there will be absolutely nothing wrong." β
"Really?" Shi Junhe replied noncommittally, that indifferent attitude I don't know if he believes it or not?
Just when Bao Ning was anxious, he slowly opened his mouth again and continued to ask: "Okay, we all know that you will treat your father's relics well, so what about after that?" How are you going to fulfill your grandfather's last wish? β
Shi Baoning looked at Shi Junhe with a blank face, not knowing what he meant? "What last wish? The shopkeeper of the You Ji pawnshop didn't tell his grandfather what his last wishes were. He just asked Qingxue to treat this piece well...... Human bones, nothing else. β
She was also present at the time, although the last few words of the shopkeeper You Ji were very quiet, and she didn't hear them very clearly, but seeing Shi Qingxue's confused appearance later, she definitely didn't say anything important.
Shi Junhe smiled helplessly, "Do you think that if your grandfather didn't really have something important to trust, he would have someone send a skull to the door so many years after he passed away?" Is it really just to leave a souvenir for future generations?
If that's the case, then that thing shouldn't be given to Qingxue, and it shouldn't be given to you, but it should be given to me first! Shi Junhe calmly stated this fact.
Shi Baoning couldn't accept it, but shouted excitedly: "Then grandfather didn't make it clear what he wanted to do, right?" He played dumb riddles with us, and of course we couldn't guess it! β
Shi Junhe shook his head, looked out the window with a long look, and replied lightly: "No, Qingxue will guess it in the end." β
Although Shi Qingxue seems to be confused like them now, he firmly believes that Shi Lei's vision will not be wrong.
He originally wanted to tell Shi Baoning that the reason why Shi Lei chose Shi Qingxue was because Qingxue had this ability, so they had nothing to be unconvinced.
However, these words seemed to 'step' on Shi Baoning's tail, which made her angry again: "In the end, you all think that Shi Qingxue is the best, and I can't do anything!" No matter how hard I try, I can't compare to your beloved little granddaughter and daughter, right? β
Shi Baoning asked loudly, venting all the grievances he had suffered over the years because of Shi Qingxue, tears streaming down his face, and he couldn't stop complaining: "I know that I have a boring temperament, I can't say nice things, and I can't please people like Shi Qingxue, but I have been trying my best to do my best over the years, just to get your favor and want your praise!"
But what about you? Shi Qingxue's casual auspicious words can make you smile, and no matter how hard I try, I can't get the same treatment as her?
Why?! We are all the same, even if I am still the county lord, I will only be more noble and dignified than her, why do you still spoil a who does not know the height of the sky, but ignore me......"
The more Shi Baoning spoke, the more fierce his words became, and in the end, he even said the words that slandered Shi Qingxue, so angry that Shi Junhe slapped her, interrupting the rest of her words.
Shi Junhe's chest fell together, panting in his mouth and nose, his eyebrows twisted fiercely, obviously angry to the extreme.
"Good, good, good!" He laughed angrily, said hello three times in a row, and stared at Shi Baoning fiercely with sharp eyes like a falcon.
Seeing Bao Ning in a cold sweat behind his back, he sneered coldly: "I didn't expect that in your heart, Qingxue would have been reduced to such an unbearable point as a?!" That's great! You've finally spoken your mind! β
Shi Baoning felt speechless, but he was unwilling to apologize for what he had said, so he lowered his head and did not speak.
A default look.
Shi Junhe was angry and angry when he saw it, and couldn't help but scold: "Shi Baoning! You touch your conscience and think about it for me, Qingxue has done less for you in the past two years? Regardless of the danger, I personally went up to Bishan to seek medical treatment for you, and when you got better, I took you to the banquet, and later tried to match you with Chi'er......"
"No, it's not! She's not for me, she's just for herself! Shi Baoning was unwilling to accept Shi Junhe's unilateral accusations, and shouted loudly.
Shi Junhe pursed his mouth and sneered: "Oh? Then you can tell me, why is it that she is doing all this for herself? β
Shi Baoning pursed his lips and said, "Who doesn't know that Doctor Shen is actually Mo Shizi's person now, and Mo Shizi is obedient to her, and the so-called 'seeking a doctor in the mountains' is simply a show!" In the name of doing everything for me, she just wants to flaunt her noble character, right? β
Shi Junhe: "......"
He felt the fire rush from his lungs to his mind, and he was about to erupt, but he was still forced down, and he only looked at Shi Baoning to continue.
Shi Junhe wanted to know how white-eyed the daughter he raised was, ignoring the sincere intentions of his sisters, and instead deducing that it was all 'for himself'?
Bao Ning felt Shi Junhe's cold sharp eyes, and her scalp tingled for a while, but she continued to say coldly, "Those banquets are also, saying that they brought me into the aristocratic circle, but in fact, she just used this to perform in front of the nobles, not only is she outstanding, but also has a good reputation for uniting sisters, it is like killing two birds with one stone!" β
Shi Junhe didn't expect Shi Qingxue's kindness at all, and when they arrived, Shi Baoning and the two of them became selfish and took advantage of others.
Even if Shi Qingxue is sincere, what she does is in the eyes of anyone with eyes, and she knows who she is doing so much for?
For example, Shi Qingxue didn't know that Shen Luo was Mo Junyang's person before she went to Bishan for medical treatment, and she was almost framed by Shi Baoyan and died in Bishan;
For example, Shi Qingxue never likes to appear in aristocratic circles, and every time it is because Shi Baoning is troubled, she is forced to stand up for her sister;
Another example......
All of this is so clear and obvious, but one should never want to wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep.
Shi Baoning had already insisted that everything Shi Qingxue did was for himself - I am afraid that only in this way could he escape the condemnation of conscience - how could he think deeply about the loopholes in his own interpretations?
Shi Junhe didn't even sneer this time, he only asked, "...... What else? That Qingxue tried her best to match you and Chi'er, so that you have a lover and eventually become a family, is she also for herself? β
When Shi Baoning heard this, instead of feeling guilty, he asked sharply: "If she is really for me, how can she seduce her brother-in-law behind my back?" β
