Chapter 302: Come to Condemn Him

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.

Xia Mang goggled in doubt and didn’t know what Shi Qingxue was talking about. She thought that Qingxue didn’t realize the seriousness of the matter, so she stressed again, “My Lady, this strange thief Ling Yang came to our mansion not long ago, and he came again. It’s obvious that he keeps an eye on Duke Shi’s mansion. No matter what purpose he has, we can’t let it pass easily. We must…”

“Fine!” Shi Qingxue was able neither to cry nor to laugh and interrupted Xia Mang’s endless talk.

Last time, the “theft case” in Duke Shi’s mansion had been planned by Shi Junhe, and it had nothing to do with the Luotong Boudoir, so she didn’t specially talk about it with Xia Mang.

Unexpectedly, somebody tried to deceive everybody in the name of “the strange thief Ling Yang”, which even confused Xia Mang who was always smart.

“My Lady!” Xia Mang got mad. She was unhappy as Shi Qingxue didn’t care about her own “safety”.

When Xia Mang was about to speak, Qingxue smiled. “Do you think that he dares to come if I am at home?”

Xia Mang was stunned. “Do you mean that the strange thief Ling Yang only steals things but doesn’t hurt people, so it’s nothing serious?”

This girl firmly believed that it was the strange thief Ling Yang.

Shi Qingxue was helpless. She had to pull the maid aside and tell her, “Don’t worry. The person who sneaked into the Luotong Boudoir was not the strange thief Ling Yang, so you don’t need to panic so much.”

“No?” Xia Mang was open-mouthed in surprise and came back to earth after a long time.

Then she asked nervously, “Who is it? Is it somebody in the mansion?”

After she asked, she covered her mouth, for fear that somebody heard it and the criminal was alarmed.

Shi Qingxue nodded with approval.

Xia Mang didn’t let her down as expected and she was enlightened as soon as the lady reminded her. She instantly guessed that it was somebody in the mansion.

“Don’t be so nervous. Didn’t you say that this thief didn’t get anything? So don’t worry…” He wouldn’t succeed.

Shi Qingxue spoke with confidence and even winked at Xia Mang complacently.

Obviously, others were not so carefree as her.

Shi Junhe looked serious and walked to her, asking in a deep voice, “Qingxue, are you sure that it wasn’t stolen?”

He intentionally stressed the word “it”, and he looked cold.

Qingxue knew that her father had guessed what the thief wanted to steal this time.

So even though Shi Junhe was worried, he didn’t dare to ask directly as he was afraid that the person who sneaked into the Luotong Boudoir hadn’t gone away but still watched everything here.

If Shi Junhe told Shi Qingxue to check “it” at this hour, it would give that thief an opportunity.

Shi Qingxue wanted to comfort Shi Junhe, while Shi Jie came over in a rush again, reporting to them, “My Lord, Princess Royal came with the second madam.”

Although they had broken up the family, Shi Jie still cautiously addressed Mo Shujun and Zhang Qiuyan as before.

Shi Junhe wasn’t in the mood to bother about these trifles. He just furrowed his brows after hearing that. “Where are they?”

“Princess Royal went to the ancestral hall in the mansion as soon as she arrived and told you to go there at once.”

The eyebrows on Shi Junhe’s forehead knitted together, and he thought that since Mo Shujun moved out, she had never returned to Duke Shi’s mansion, and it seemed that she would draw a demarcation line with his family.

She came this time and went to the ancestral hall directly. Did she want to get Shi Lei’s skeleton back?

Shi Junhe restrained his fidget and told Shi Qingxue, “You and His Excellency stay in the East House and investigate the theft case. It’s so important and can’t be stolen.”

Afterward, he didn’t give Shi Qingxue a chance to disagree but rushed to the ancestral hall with Shi Jie.

In the ancestral hall, Mo Shujun had been standing in front of Shi Lei’s memorial tablet for a long time, like she did for many days in the past. She looked at her husband’s memorial tablet alone quietly.

Seeing the similar scene, Shi Junhe got soft-hearted all of a sudden and his voice became soft involuntarily.

“Mother, nice to see you.”

Shi Junhe and Mo Shujun almost cut off their relationship as “mother and son” and even wanted to be completely isolated from each other all their lives after falling out.

However, they did have a close relationship for so many years. It was said that even if the mother was not amiable, the son should respect her.

Shi Junhe loved and respected Mo Shujun since childhood and had grown up under the traditional culture. She had done something excessive to him, and he was really angry then, but he would get tenderhearted to her later.

Hearing Shi Junhe’s greeting, Mo Shujun turned her head and looked cold. “Kneel down.”

Shi Junhe was astonished and didn’t understand why Mo Shujun said that all of a sudden.

Zhang Qiuyan seemed unable to stand it anymore and rushed up again. This time, she really beat Shi Junhe and cursed, “Bastard, you poisoned Junfeng to death. I am going to kill you to avenge him.”

Considering their status, Shi Junhe couldn’t touch Zhang Qiuyan, so he was hit by her in the beginning.

Zhang Qiuyan was a “weak woman”, yet she slapped Shi Junhe hard on his neck which was uncovered, and soon there was a blood stain.

Shi Junhe felt the pain and finally came back to reality from Zhang Qiuyan’s denouncement. He looked sad and surprised.

Seeing that Zhang Qiuyan acted recklessly, Dong Hui was swift-handed and walked forward to push her away. She stood with her hands on her hips and rebuked coldly, “Zhang, this is the ancestral hall in Duke Shi’s mansion. If you dare to act willfully, I will tell some people to flog and kick you out.”

Since they broke up the family, Dong Hui became the real mistress in Duke Shi’s mansion.

She was confident and straightened her back. She didn’t even fear Mo Shujun, so she wouldn’t take her husband’s powerless sister-in-law seriously.

Under Dong Hui’s glare, Zhang Qiuyan shrank her neck and wasn’t aggressive anymore.

However, at the thought of her husband’s death, Zhang Qiuyan felt furious again.

She had only one backup.

After Shi Junfeng died, she would be miserable in the future.

How could she endure it?

Coldness in Zhang Qiuyan’s eyes disappeared soon. When she raised her head again, she looked pitiful and begged Mo Shujun, “Mother, Junfeng is your biological son. Now the murderer is in front of us. Are you going to see your son die with a grievance?”

“What nonsense are you talking about? My husband didn’t…” Dong Hui retorted Zhang Qiuyan anxiously.

But before she finished her words, Mo Shujun interrupted her rudely. “Dong, did I allow you to speak?”

Dong Hui was choked and could say nothing.

Although she didn’t fear Mo Shujun anymore, their status was obvious.

Anyway, Mo Shujun was her mother-in-law in name and didn’t need to find a reason to rebuke her.

Dong Hui stopped speaking resentfully but did something in secret. She grabbed Shi Junhe’s sleeve several times and implied that it was not the time to be in a daze and feel sad. If things went on like this, those people would put all the blame on them.

“Shi Junhe, I am still your mother now. I told you to kneel down. Haven’t you heard that?” Mo Shujun stared at Shi Junhe coldly and ordered, stressing each word.

Shi Junhe came to his senses yet ignored Dong Hui’s implication. He just looked at Mo Shujun, with a complicated expression, asking in a hoarse voice, “I don’t know what wrong I have done so I need to kneel in front of Father’s memorial tablet.”

“You have killed Junfeng. We have found the witness and evidence. Do you still want to justify yourself with excuses?” Zhang Qiuyan couldn’t control herself and shouted again.

Before she made a scene, Mo Shujun glanced at her indifferently to make her shut up.

Then she turned to a servant. “Bring him here.”

After a while, Zheng Liangcai who should interrogate the suspect in Shi Junfeng’s mansion walked in slowly, with his head lowered.

Zheng Liangcai saluted Mo Shujun as soon as he came in. Then he lowered his head and shrank his neck. He looked as if he was guilty, trying to curl up his body.

Shi Junhe was not blind. He stared at Zheng Liangcai and asked, “Lord Zheng, aren’t you interrogating Shi Wang in Junfeng’s mansion? What are you doing here?”

Zheng Liangcai quickly raised his head and glanced at Shi Junhe. Then he lowered his head instantly and stuttered, “I have known who murdered the second master after questioning him. The real murderer is…”

He tried several times to say it but couldn’t speak out the murderer’s name.

Mo Shujun was not so patient and then said for Zheng Liangcai, “You are the real murderer!”

She pointed to Shi Junhe and finally couldn’t help but reveal her hatred in her cold voice. “Shi Junhe, although I am not your biological mother, I think I have never treated you unfairly. I can’t believe that you are so vicious and killed my son Junfeng. You should be hacked to pieces!”

Shi Junhe was hurt by Mo Shujun’s hatred and suddenly moved one step backward. He felt bitter.

He was really hurt by Mo Shujun. After hearing about what she had done to You Si’s cremains, he just felt disappointed and angry. He had never expected that the relationship between the mother and son for so many years ended up with the words “be hacked to pieces”.

Aha!

Shi Junhe curled up his lips with self-mockery, to find that he was unable to smile.

He had to give up the expression on his face and raise his head, looking at Mo Shujun. “I have never poisoned Junfeng. What evidence do you have?”

“You just refuse to give up till the end. Okay. I will convince you today!” Mo Shujun laughed coldly.

She turned to Zheng Liangcai and ordered, “Why are you still standing here? Go and bring the witness and evidence.”

“Yes, yes!” Zheng Liangcai answered obediently and staggered out.

Mo Shujun snorted. “I’ll see what you can say later!”
