Shi Junhe was calm as before and wasn’t frightened by Mo Shujun’s aggressive attitude.
Instead, he answered peacefully, “I don’t know what you mean. Father’s skeleton has been stolen by a thief, right?”
He refused to admit that he had stolen Shi Lei’s skeleton, just like Mo Shujun did.
As long as Mo Shujun didn’t give him You Si’s cremation urn, Shi Junhe wouldn’t give her Shi Lei’s skeleton.
Mo Shujun pursed her lips and glared at Shi Junhe, with a ruthless expression in her eyes, as if to swallow him.
Shi Junhe was fearless and met Mo Shujun’s eyes calmly.
After a long time, Mo Shujun suddenly laughed and said in a harsh voice, “Aha! Don’t you just want your dead mother’s cremation urn?”
Shi Junhe looked at Mo Shujun and admitted it quietly.
However, Mo Shujun laughed more weirdly and horribly. She goggled at Shi Junhe and stressed each word, declaring viciously, “Don’t e
It was like what Shi Juncai had expected.Hearing that You Si’s descendants would occupy the position of Duke Shi for long, Mo Shujun put on a long face. “I can steal her husband, and her descendants will never win my offspring.”Before Shi Juncai got overjoyed, Mo Shujun poured cold water on him. “Juncai, I made a mistake. The only person who will inherit your father’s title in the future is Junfeng.”“Mother!” Shi Juncai had heard Mo Shujun’s promise just now, yet he was disillusioned soon.A pie fell from the sky and didn’t hit him but fell on Shi Junfeng who was an unimpressive fence-sitter.Even though Shi Juncai respected Mo Shujun a lot, he was furious after hearing that and asked in reply anxiously, “Why? I…”Mo Shujun waved her hand and interrupted Shi Juncai. She just said, “Don’t worry. You are my most loved child, and I won’t treat you unfairly, yet you’d better not think about your fath
Wenren Chi looked serious and came to the living room. When he saw the people inside, surprise was written on his face. “How… It’s you?”After hearing that, Shi Qingxue who was talking with Shi Junhe raised her head and showed a beautiful smile. “Chi, are you surprised?”It turned out that the visitors were from Duke Shi’s mansion (they had lived apart from the second master’s and third master’s families) and Mo Junyang.The four were sitting and chatting in the living room in harmony like a family.Apart from Mo Junyang, the arrival of Shi Junhe and his wife as well as Shi Qingxue did make the new couple feel surprised and happy.And meanwhile they were confused. “What brought you here?”Seeing that his daughter and son who was also his son-in-law were in a daze, Shi Junhe was amused involuntarily and said loudly, “Qingxue guessed that your mansion would be cheerless this morning, so she asked us t
Dong Hui was petrified. After she realized what Shi Baoning meant, she looked scared and pushed the girl to sit straightly, shouting exasperatedly, “Baoning, do you know what you are talking about?”Shi Baoning gazed at Dong Hui, and the smile on her face was cold and sharp. “Do you think that I will make irresponsible remarks if there is nothing like this?”Dong Hui was speechless.She was unwilling to believe that Shi Qingxue would do something so absurd, but tears fell from Shi Baoning’s eyes at once.Shi Baoning’s face was soaked with tears and it seemed to be covered with fog. Anybody would feel pity for her after seeing that.Even a stranger couldn’t bear to see a beauty shed tears and wouldn’t rebuke her, let alone Dong Hui, her mother.As Dong Hui saw that Shi Baoning cried, she was not firm anymore. She just pulled the girl into her arms and comforted her gently. “Stop crying! Why are you c
Shi Junhe stood blankly three meters away from the bed and seemed to be nailed, unable to move a bit. He just fixed his eyes on the dead body on the bed.“Father.”Shi Qingxue’s low voice dragged Shi Junhe back to reality and also attracted Zhang Qiuyan’s attention.As soon as she saw Shi Junhe, Zhang Qiuyan suddenly got up and rushed to him, crying, “You bastard. It’s you. You caused my husband’s death. It’s your fault.”Her unreasonable denouncement made Shi Junhe in a daze. Zhang Qiuyan even waved her fist and wanted to punch him.Fortunately, Shi Baojing was swift-handed and stopped Zhang Qiuyan in time, shouting angrily and anxiously, “Mother, stop!”Shi Baojing summoned some servants and stopped Zhang Qiuyan from making a scene.Zhang Qiuyan would have accused this daughter of her husband’s concubine of disrespecting her in the past, yet now Shi Baojing was the second prince’s fia
Shi Baoning’s face stiffened and she stuttered, “No…way?”At last, she said in an uncertain tone.Shi Qingxue looked at Shi Baoning and didn’t waste energy to explain. She gave Shi Baoning room to figure it out herself.Shi Baoning still looked doubtful and then turned to Shi Junhe. She wanted to ask more seemingly, but his weary face made her unable to speak a word.When the atmosphere in the main hall became tense again, Zheng Liangcai rushed in excitedly and reported to Shi Junhe, “Lord Shi, I have found the murderer.”His words aroused an uproar.Shi Junhe sprang from the chair and asked in a hurry, “Who is the murderer? How did you find it?”“Lord Shi, you are wise. I listened to you and questioned all the servants respectively who served the second master. Then I found that his personal manservant Shi Wang was suspicious. So I instantly told my subordinates to capture him and inte
When Shi Qingxue returned to the Luotong Boudoir, her face was still unusually red, and her clothes were a little messy, but if people didn’t check her carefully, they couldn’t find anything wrong.The chief criminal Mo Junyang dressed like a gentleman followed her, looking distant, yet his bright eyes reflected his satisfaction.However, the person who dared to look into Mo Junyang’s eyes and even study the expression in his eyes seriously was grabbed by Xia Mang as the maid reported the situation in the Luotong Boudoir to her.Xia Mang gave Shi Qingxue a note with a signature, “the strange thief Ling Yang”.It seemed that the criminal was afraid that other people wouldn’t know that this theft case was caused by Ling Yang again.“Gee, they tried to draw a tiger yet ended up with the likeness of a dog. Only those people could do something so stupid,” Shi Qingxue glanced at the note and said with disgust.
Zheng Liangcai led some people to escort Shi Junfeng’s personal manservant Shi Wang and walked in.Shi Wang entered the room and knelt in front of Shi Junhe as soon as he saw the duke. He begged sadly in tears, “My Lord, My Lord, you must save me. I did everything as you ordered me.”Before Shi Junhe spoke, he was accused by Shi Wang randomly, so he turned ghastly pale and questioned furiously, “Bastard, what nonsense are you talking about? I don’t know you. Why would I order you to do something?”Shi Wang cried more loudly, “My Lord, you can’t say something so ungrateful. You said that the second master threatened your position, and only after he died could you keep the title of Duke Shi steadily, so you told me to find a chance to murder him. Then you would be worriless.“You promised to ensure my safety. Now it’s exposed, but you will leave me alone?”He tearfully pledged in all sincerity and seriousness and
All the others in the room were confused by Shi Qingxue’s action.Shi Juncai asked with sarcasm, “What? Do you think that if you kneel in front of your grandpa’s memorial tablet, he will jump up and help you find the token granted by Emperor?”He mocked at Shi Qingxue and even showed disrespect to Shi Lei indistinctly.Shi Junhe frowned again and wanted to rebuke him, but he remembered that they were like water and fire now. It was pointless no matter what he said.Shi Qingxue ignored Shi Juncai’s “bark” and seriously kowtowed to Shi Lei’s memorial tablet for three times, murmuring to apologize, “Grandpa, I am sorry.”It was silent in the ancestral hall, and all people heard Qingxue say sorry yet didn’t understand what she was sorry for.She knelt for about fifteen minutes and then got up. Afterward, she took a few steps forward.She almost got close to the shrine for worshiping. Then s
