Chapter 292: There Is No Way

You Junle was shocked to hear Shi Junhe call him brother.

After quite a while, he came back to earth from this form of address.

Then his face darkened and he snorted with displeasure. “Did you call me brother?”

Shi Junhe’s eyes were deep, with endless sorrow and depression seemingly.

He stared at You Junle in silence. Just in an instant, it was enough to make You Junle soft-hearted.

You Junle expressed that he looked down upon Shi Junhe, even with hatred.

But he blamed this younger brother as much as he loved him.

If You Junle didn’t expect too much of Shi Junhe, how would he have a grudge against this younger brother because he was disappointed at him?

He had known Shi Junhe for too long and even had watched when this younger brother was born.

You Junle was just eight or nine years old then. Looking at the fat baby in the cradle, the awareness of being an elder brother made him think that he had become a man instantly who could stand up and fight.

However, he had lived a happy life for merely one hundred days, and You Si’s health became worse sharply, which made the shadow of death cover the happy family of four…

Thinking that everything was caused by that vicious woman Mo Shujun, You Junle hated her to the bone, and he returned hard-hearted even though he was moved just now.

You Junle glared at Shi Junhe coldly and said crossly, “If you take that woman Mo Shujun as your mother, you don’t qualify to call me brother.”

Shi Qingxue also goggled as she was speechless.

Even though she didn’t like Mo Shujun, either, Shi Junhe had been raised by Mo Shujun for so many years. It would be too much for him to turn hostile to her suddenly.

Shi Junhe didn’t look good, yet he stared at You Junle’s eyes without dodging and just answered in low spirits, “I know.”

Shi Junhe just said two words simply, and You Junle didn’t understand in the beginning but thought that Shi Junhe was perfunctory. When he wanted to ask, suddenly his mind became intelligent at the approach of happiness, so he realized what Shi Junhe meant.

Shi Junhe said that he knew and had called him brother. Didn’t it mean that…

You Junle had tears in his eyes at once and couldn’t help but walk forward and grab Shi Junhe’s hands, asking seriously and tenaciously, “Really?”

Shi Junhe nodded cautiously and then replied tentatively, “I will get back Father’s skeleton. You…”

“And Mother’s skeleton,” You Junhe added anxiously.

He was still uncertain and scratched his head, explaining, “I saw that the eight-treasure box with Mother’s cremains was buried with Father, yet now it has disappeared. Nobody would covet a worthless eight-treasure box, and only the vicious woman Mo Shujun would do such a hard but thankless job.

“She was jealous of Mother from the beginning and tried every means to separate our parents even when Mother was alive, and she made them unable to get together after death.”

When he heard You Junle’s “malicious words”, Shi Junhe’s eyes darkened, but soon he returned normal.

He just nodded and then promised, “I will talk with… her after going back.”

“However…” Shi Qingxue cut in involuntarily in a low voice.

The brothers reunited and opened their hearts to each other, which was supposed to be something happy, while what they were talking about made her unable to relax.

She had to remind, “Grand…”

She stopped using the habitual form of address but couldn’t call Mo Shujun’s name directly, so she had to say, “The princess royal loves Grandpa so much. Not to mention that she won’t admit what happened more than forty years ago, even if we find the evidence and tell her to admit it, she won’t give us the skeletons of Grandpa and…Grandma.”

Shi Junhe and You Junle stayed silent at the same time.

It was necessary to say that Shi Qingxue mentioned the key point.

Forty years ago, Mo Shujun was just a princess royal and the late emperor hadn’t steadied his position, yet she dared to force a meritorious statesman to divorce his wife and marry her. Now she was the emperor’s aunt, and even the Empress Dowager had to consider her dignity. Even if she was wrong, perhaps she wouldn’t admit it.

The three stopped talking. After a pause, they turned their heads at the same time and looked at Mo Junyang who didn’t express his opinion.

Mo Junyang was unhurried and let the three look at him. Till their eyes became sour after they stared at him for long, he was still indifferent.

He didn’t speak or get involved in their matter, as if he were just an onlooker.

However, as he behaved like this, the three knew that he had a solution.

But…

“Junyang!” Shi Qingxue bit the bullet and called him.

Mo Junyang gazed at Qingxue gently with love. “Huh?”

His raising tone was carefree, and his eyes with love seemed to say, “As long as you ask me, I will even get the stars from the sky for you.”

Nevertheless, as a result, Shi Qingxue couldn’t ask him for help.

“Ahem!” After all, Shi Junhe was older and experienced. How could he not see through Mo Junyang?

He coughed twice and then asked, “Your Excellency, do you know how to get back the skeletons of Qingxue’s grandparents?”

Although Shi Junhe thought that it was his and You Junle’s responsibility, he understood that if it weren’t for Shi Qingxue, Mo Junyang would stay out of this trouble, let alone help them find the skeletons of Shi Lei and You Si.

So even though Shi Junhe didn’t want Qingxue to owe Mo Junyang a favor, he still had to mention her.

From the words “the skeletons of Qingxue’s grandparents”, Mo Junyang noticed Shi Junhe’s hidden meaning.

It was true. Once Shi Junhe said “my parents”, Mo Junyang would say no even if he had a solution.

However, since Shi Junhe mentioned Qingxue, Mo Junyang would answer more cautiously.

“General Shi, I can’t answer you for now if I know how to do that.”

As soon as Mo Junyang started to speak, Shi Junhe showed a knowing and disappointed expression. He lowered his head and murmured with a sense of loss, “Sure enough.”

Mo Junyang continued, “It’s because I don’t know some things about the story of more than forty years ago. Manager You, hope that you can tell me frankly.”

“Please ask.” From the attitude of Shi Junhe and his daughter, You Junle understood that if he wanted to fulfil his wish, he had to ask Mo Junyang for help, so he would naturally tell the young man anything that he knew.

Mo Junyang asked without hesitation, “Did you say that when the princess royal demanded Elder Duke Shi to marry her, he had married your mother? What is the story in detail? Do you know?”

“In the era of war, sometimes women needed to go to war. Mother was once a female soldier. She got to know Father and then married him on the battlefield. Later, in order to accompany Father, she gave up her career and went to the battlefield everywhere with Father as a maid.

“They had got married and become a couple then, but because of the chaos caused by war, they didn’t tell their relatives and friends, and they didn’t even show affection as a couple in the military camp and in daily life.

“So it gave Mo Shujun, the late emperor’s sister an opportunity that could be made use of. Mo Shujun thought highly of Father’s moral quality and talent, so she incited the late emperor to make a match for her and still didn’t give up after being refused politely by Father. She found that Father treated Mother differently, so she started to make things difficult for Mother.

“In order to protect Mother, Father had to reveal the fact that they were married, which caused a lot of disputes then. Some people who didn’t like Father even hurled insults at him and said that he abused his power for private purposes and provided for a concubine secretly even in the army. As a result, Father almost lost his position as a general.

“Fortunately, in the war between the Liang Country and Mo Country, we lost three cities in succession, and those officials who clamored to depose Father as a general came and flatteringly begged him to go to the battlefield. Father led the Shi Army and became famous after the war and saved the Mo Country, which made those long-tongued people shut up in the end.”

At the mention of those fence-sitters, You Junle looked sarcastic on his face involuntarily, with respect and worship for Shi Lei which he didn’t notice.

He mentioned Elder Duke Shi earlier and severed the bond to his adoptive father Shi Lei, but when he mentioned the past, he couldn’t conceal his deep love for Shi Lei.

Shi Qingxue noticed it, yet she wouldn’t remind You Junle. She just asked in high spirits, “What about later? What happened to Grandpa and Grandma?”

Now she could call You Si grandma with no difficulty and even couldn’t help wondering with expectancy that what kind of heroine the woman who deserved his grandpa was.

Hearing Shi Qingxue’s words, You Junle looked gloomy. After quite a while, he said in a deep voice, “Since then, Mother’s identity was known to the public, but considering Father’s career, she only had the title of General Shi’s wife, yet she wasn’t treated differently from before, and she had to endure Mo Shujun’s harassment all day long.

“Fortunately, later, Mother was pregnant with Junhe, and even the late emperor couldn’t bear to see that, so he restrained Mo Shujun. We finally lived in peace for a period.

“But good times didn’t last long. In less than two months, there were endless wars in the Mo Country again, and Father was not at home throughout the year. When Mother was pregnant, she became sensitive and depressive and worried about Father in tears all the time. After she gave birth to Junhe, she was…”

Recalling those days, You Junle had tears in his eyes again and spoke in a sobbing voice.

Shi Junhe didn’t remember You Si at all, but perhaps the bloodline was really so magical. When he listened to You Junle talking about You Si, a woman’s figure started to come into his mind. Even though he couldn’t see her clearly, it made him feel relieved and warm.

He couldn’t help asking, “What disease did Mother suffer from? And what was the medicinal material that was needed?”

Hatred flashed in You Junle’s eyes and he got furious, yet next second, he restrained it forcefully. He spoke while gritting his teeth inevitably. “I don’t know, and nobody knew it. All the royal doctors and physicians in society could do nothing, but I know only one thing…”

“What?” Shi Junhe suddenly had a foreboding and felt nervous.

You Junle stared at Shi Junhe and stressed each word. “I just know that Mother fell sick for the first time after Mo Shujun personally visited her and you, and in the end, the royal doctor who made the last prescription for Mother was found to be Mo Shujun’s follower.”
