Chapter 294: Gain the Initiative and Wait for You to Fall into a Trap

Shi Qingxue looked up at Mo Junyang, to see that the man was looking at her.

His eyes were as deep as the sea and seemed to absorb her.

“Jun, Junyang!” Shi Qingxue blushed again and her brain seemed to be blank. She just stuttered and called Mo Junyang’s name.

Mo Junyang smiled at her warmly, with endless spirits seemingly. Under his gaze, Qingxue looked around randomly with shyness.

Fortunately, before the ambiguous atmosphere lasted long, Mo Junyang stated firmly, “That’s it.”

“Ah?” Shi Qingxue still thought about the last subject and suddenly heard Mo Junyang’s words, so she was surprised.

What?

However, Mo Junyang didn’t plan to explain to her and rubbed her soft hair again, saying with a smile, “Just let me handle everything.”

Shi Qingxue was more confused, yet she knew well about Mo Junyang. Since he had made a decision, although she might change his mind, she was willing to follow him somehow.

Hmm, anyway, she had said what she should say, and it was fine as there was no misunderstanding.

Shi Qingxue secretly pondered over what she had said just now. Even though she was shy, she was satisfied with her honesty.

She gave herself a thumbs-up sign in secret and then let it pass easily, but unexpectedly, only a short while was enough for Mo Junyang to make things more serious.

That day, as they broke up the Shi family, the second master Shi Junfeng and the third master Shi Juncai led their families and moved out of Duke Shi’s mansion.

Although Mo Shujun loved her youngest son, with the pride as a princess royal, she was unwilling to live in a small house which was unknown.

So she was still left in the Shou’an Hall.

At night, there was a theft case in Duke Shi’s mansion, and it was said that it was done by a strange thief Ling Yang, who walked around in the mansion and left a conspicuous sign, but nobody said what had been stolen.

All people who knew the truth remained mute as if their mouths were sealed.

Nevertheless, early in the morning next day, Mo Shujun couldn’t control herself and came to the East House to see Shi Junhe.

“What do you mean?”

Hearing Mo Shujun’s aggressive question, Shi Junhe played dumb. “Mother, what are you talking about?”

Mo Shujun pursed her lips and sneered. “A straightforward person does not resort to insinuations. I know that it’s your follower who did that last night. Give your father’s skeleton back to me.”

Shi Junhe responded unhurriedly, “When Father was alive, he said that he hoped you would be buried in the royal mausoleum after death, Mother. Why do you insist on keeping his skeleton with you? It’s unreasonable, and it makes him unable to rest in peace even after death.”

Mo Shujun once said that to teach Shi Junhe a lesson and wanted to cheat him and have Shi Lei buried with a fake body.

However, it became a reason for Shi Junhe to retort her.

Mo Shujun was exasperated, but it was different from before. She had Shi Lei’s skeleton in hands yesterday, so even if Shi Junhe had objections, he had to hold back.

Nevertheless, now she had nothing, and she had to face Shi Junhe’s suppression, so she was furious.

After a pause, she put on a straight face and stated like a rascal, “I don’t care. I am your mother, your father’s official wife. Can’t I even be buried with him?”

Shi Junhe’s eyes darkened and he couldn’t help but ask in reply in a low voice, “Mother? Official wife? Are you really my mother and his official wife?”

The past that she had tried hard to hide was mentioned all of a sudden, so she was petrified and then all her body was stiff. When she realized that there was another person around, she managed with effort to calm down, yet her face still looked pale.

She stared at Shi Junhe and pretended to be calm, asking, “What nonsense are you talking about? Did somebody who is brainless tell you something in secret?”

Mo Shujun subconsciously absolved herself from responsibility and refused to admit it, but looking at Shi Junhe’s unmoved face, she felt nervous and roughly understood that perhaps she couldn’t fool him with only a few words this time.

She calmed down and then looked serious. Before Shi Junhe spoke, she expressed forcefully, “I have raised you for so many years just to let you listen to outsiders who make mischief and ignore the kinship with your mother? Shi Junhe, don’t go too far.

“If you really don’t care about our kinship, don’t blame me if I turn against you. I want to see how the country will treat an ungrateful son who abandons his mother.”

Before Shi Junhe said something, Mo Shujun rebuked him indiscriminately.

He didn’t get angry or panic.

His face was emotionless like a dead person’s.

He looked at Mo Shujun and asked casually, “Mother and son? Are you sure? Can I ask you? Do you still remember the date, the tenth day of the first lunar month in the Year of Yihai?”

Panic flashed in Mo Shujun’s eyes, and she didn’t even dare to meet Shi Junhe’s eyes. She just gritted her teeth and replied, “I don’t know what you are talking about. I just know that you are my son that I have brought up. If you dare to be disobedient to me, you just disrespect me, and I can make you lose all standing and reputation.”

When she said the words “lose all standing and reputation” at will, she seemed to joke and didn’t show mercy. How would a mother who really loved her child say and do that?

In fact, in the past years, Mo Shujun showed it obviously, especially after Shi Lei died. If Shi Junhe hadn’t gained power and the position as the family master, he would have lived a miserable life.

Even though Shi Junhe was the family master, most of the time, he had to “love his brothers” and give up the profit that belonged to him to his brothers.

Shi Junhe was broad-minded and didn’t care, and he was on the battlefield all year round, so when the three brothers lived together, their families could be harmonious.

Shi Junhe always thought that Mo Shujun was just partial but still cared about her eldest son, yet in fact, he just thought too much and his preconceived idea kept a strong hold from the beginning.

Otherwise, if an onlooker knew many things in their family, perhaps he could guess long ago that this eldest son was not Mo Shujun’s biological son.

Shi Junhe concealed the complex thoughts in mind and looked at Mo Shujun, asking solemnly, “What makes you think that I disrespect you? And you need to make me lose all standing and reputation?”

“You don’t want to take me as your mother. Don’t you disrespect me?” Mo Shujun snorted and didn’t give Shi Junhe a chance to say something else.

Meanwhile, Shi Junhe just smiled and responded calmly, “I don’t forget that you have raised me and I owe you a debt of gratitude.”

Mo Shujun knew that Shi Junhe had known she was not his biological mother, and what happened more than forty years ago couldn’t be hidden probably.

However, she didn’t care. She wouldn’t allow this thing to be revealed, yet it didn’t matter if Shi Junhe knew it. As long as there was no evidence, what could he do to her?

Moreover, when Mo Shujun thought that Shi Junhe was depressed as he had to be respectful to her even though he knew that she was not his biological mother and he couldn’t vent it, she felt happy.

She thought, “You Si, you have stolen Shi Lei’s heart for so many years, yet in the end, both your husband and your son are mine.

“Even though they are unwilling, they are mine.”

Mo Shujun looked at Shi Junhe and seemed to see a face which was also helpless in front of her more than forty years ago. She thought she could finally win and demanded complacently, “Since you take me as your mother, just give your father’s skeleton to me.”

In fact, Shi Juncai’s career as an official developed along the right lines gradually, and it was not that Mo Shujun had to depend on this adoptive son. After she made use of him, she should kick him out as soon as possible.

As long as Shi Junhe gave Shi Lei’s skeleton to her, Mo Shujun didn’t mind making a clean break with him.

Of course, when she needed his help, she was still his mother, and he had to listen to her. Otherwise, he just disrespected her.

Mo Shujun had wishful thinking, but unexpectedly, Shi Junhe’s expression changed all of a sudden, and he asked in panic, “Wasn’t Father’s skeleton still in your dark room and kept by you yesterday? Why do you ask me for his skeleton now?”

“You!” Mo Shujun’s eyes were ferocious and she was about to lose temper, yet she saw that Shi Junhe looked innocent and didn’t know anything seemingly.

She understood everything immediately.

A thief came to the mansion yesterday. Even if something was missing, it was done by the strange thief Ling Yang. Shi Junhe knew nothing.

He knew nothing and he was a victim.

Before Mo Shujun exploded, Shi Junhe expressed worriedly, “A thief dared to break into my mansion at night and steal Father’s skeleton. Such a lawless behavior can’t be indulged.

“I am going to report to the government and ask Lord Zheng to capture the strange thief Ling Yang.”

Mo Shujun was speechless.

Both of them knew who had taken Shi Lei’s skeleton away, but as Shi Junhe said that, it was the fault of the strange thief Ling Yang, and nobody knew if he was existent.

It was more annoying that Shi Junhe wanted to report to the government.

Earlier, Shi Lei’s grave had been ruined and his skeleton had been stolen, and the news had spread everywhere in the capital city. Now the information that Shi Lei’s skeleton was stolen from a dark room in the Shou’an Hall would be revealed.

Anybody knew who had stolen the skeleton the other day as long as they used their brains.

Although Mo Shujun showed that she was bold with sufficient reasons in front of Shi Junhe, once the news spread, it must be a scandal.

And after the scandal was revealed, she might not get Shi Lei’s skeleton back.

At this thought, Mo Shujun was angry and anxious. She finally couldn’t control herself and asked, “What on earth do you want?”

Shi Junhe still looked innocent. “What do you mean?”

“Don’t beat around the bush. Since you know who gave birth to you, I don’t care if you call me mother. I just ask you a question. What should I do before you give your father’s skeleton back to me?” Mo Shujun straightened her back and looked stiff, refusing to show the white feather in front of her “enemy”.

Even if she had reached a dead end and could do nothing as Mo Junyang expected.

Shi Junhe suddenly felt sad for this old woman with a wrinkled face in front of him. She loved a man crazily who had a loved wife and would never love her, and then she used a despicable and vicious method to marry this man. At last, it caused a tragedy for three people.

You Si and Shi Lei had passed away long ago, and only Mo Shujun was left staying in the huge Duke Shi’s mansion. At last, she was obsessive about Shi Lei’s skeleton.

She was hateful and pitiful. It was so sad.

However, Shi Junhe didn’t show sympathy for Mo Shujun. At the thought of that woman who was really innocent, he felt sad as he didn’t even have a chance to call her mother.

The mother and son were mentally connected. Even though he had never seen You Si, he couldn’t help but feel warm with a sense of loss when he thought of her.

Shi Junhe concealed his frail emotion and looked at Mo Shujun, demanding calmly, “Please give my mother’s cremation urn to me.”
