Chapter 307: Why Should I Save You?

Shi Juncai thought that he could rest easy after Shi Junhe put up bail for him, so he didn’t show mercy to Zhang Qiuyan.

He covered Zhang Qiuyan’s mouth and told the servants to drag her away.

During the period, Shi Junhe looked on coldly and didn’t stop him.

Shi Juncai was more sure that Shi Junhe was soft-hearted to him, so he was bailed.

He moved closer to Shi Junhe shamelessly at once and expressed flatteringly, “Junhe, you really love your brother deeply. I knew that you would care about my life and death.”

Shi Junhe leered at Shi Juncai coldly and stated casually, “Of course I care about my brother’s life and death, and I won’t let him die with a grievance.”

Shi Juncai was nervous and stared at Shi Junhe. “What do you mean?”

“Junfeng was killed, so all people who killed him should be punished according to the law, and nobody is an exception.” While speaking, Shi Junhe didn’t look away from Shi Juncai.

He stared at Shi Juncai and stressed each word. “Not even…you!”

Shi Juncai trembled. After understanding what his brother meant, he looked frustrated instantly.

He grabbed Shi Junhe’s sleeve in panic and shouted with fear, “Junhe, you can’t do that! You can’t! I am your brother. You can’t fold your hands and see me die.”

Shi Junhe looked at Shi Juncai quietly and then sneered after he cried. “Really?”

Shi Juncai was speechless.

His blood froze after Shi Junhe said “really?” He stuttered, “I… Of course I am your brother. We have been brothers for so many years. Even though we have conflicts, you can’t disown me.”

Shi Junhe didn’t retort Shi Juncai. He just smiled coldly with sarcasm, saying impassively, “But it’s you who killed your brother and broke the law. What can I do?”

Obviously, Shi Junhe didn’t plan to use his privilege for Shi Juncai.

However, killing a brother was a big crime.

As long as Shi Junhe really refused to save his life, even if Mo Shujun was willing to help him, after the news spread, Shi Juncai could hardly escape from the disaster.

At this thought, Shi Juncai turned pale with fear.

He grabbed Shi Junhe’s sleeve anxiously and thought of something all of a sudden. Then he shouted at once, “Don’t we have the token granted by Emperor? As long as I take it, I will be fine.”

If he had the token that could prevent him from being sentenced to death, the crime of murder was nothing.

Shi Juncai got happy again and almost danced with joy.

However, Shi Junhe soon disillusioned him and responded coldly, “You don’t have the token granted by Emperor.”

Shi Juncai’s smile froze on his face and he stiffened.

When he wanted to say more, Shi Junhe realized his intention and then added, “Of course, I don’t have the token granted by Emperor, either.

“Have you forgotten that Father gave the token granted by Emperor to Qingxue, and it belongs to her alone? Anybody can’t covet it.” Although Shi Junhe said that, the taunt on his face was obvious.

In fact, Shi Junhe had known earlier that Mo Shujun and the third master’s family coveted the token granted by Emperor, yet he had never said anything in the past because of their kinship. He even controlled himself and didn’t mention the theft case in the Luotong Boudoir.

Unexpectedly, Shi Juncai was shameless to this level. He framed Shi Junhe but failed, and then he harmed himself. Then he wanted to use the token granted by Emperor to save himself.

Not to mention that the token granted by Emperor didn’t belong to him, even if he had the right to use it, Shi Junhe wouldn’t use the reward their father got after risking his own life to fight on the battlefield to save such a bastard.

Shi Juncai couldn’t even think about it.

Shi Junhe said that in order to make Shi Juncai give up his plan and tell him not to covet the token granted by Emperor, while after hearing that, Shi Juncai instantly turned around and knelt in front of Shi Qingxue.

Shi Qingxue was caught off guard as Shi Juncai knelt. When she was shocked, he smiled at her shamelessly. “Qingxue, I am a minor official of a low position, and I may not take care of you enough at ordinary times, yet we are family anyway. Now I am in trouble, and as long as you take out the token granted by Emperor, you can save my life. You don’t need to do anything else, and it is so simple. You can’t watch me die and do nothing.”

Hearing Shi Juncai’s brazen declaration, Shi Qingxue almost laughed out of anger.

Shi Juncai was thick-skinned. He vowed solemnly earlier that even if she had the token granted by Emperor, she couldn’t save her father, but now he was convicted, and he begged her to take it out to save him.

Shi Qingxue wanted to retort, “Perish the thought!”

She almost said that, but when it was on the tip of her tongue, an idea flashed in her brain and then she held back.

Qingxue’s eye balls rolled and she asked in a clear voice, “Uncle, you want me to take out the token granted by Emperor?”

“Yes, yes!” Shi Juncai nodded repeatedly and was not conceited anymore, saying humbly, “Good Qingxue, as long as you take it out, you can save my life. You are the only person that I can rely on. You need to save me.”

Shi Qingxue almost had goosebumps when she heard the words “good Qingxue”. Before she spoke, Mo Junyang who stayed silent all the time abruptly stood between them.

The man looked steadily at Shi Juncai with his distant eyes and asked in a cold voice, “What did you say?”

Shi Juncai had spoken volubly, but under Mo Junyang’s glare, he shrank at once, like a quail. He became obsequious and couldn’t say anything.

He wondered with fear what wrong he had said and irritated this demon.

Shi Juncai and Shi Qingxue didn’t understand why Mo Junyang suddenly got angry. They looked at each other and noticed the doubts in the other party’s eyes.

“Hmm?” Mo Junyang raised his tone and showed displeasure on his face.

Shi Juncai almost had a heart attack as he was scared by the young man’s expression.

At the crucial moment, their eyes met again, and they thought of “good Qingxue” at the same time.

Then they understood that Mo Junyang couldn’t endure anybody else that called Qingxue’s name in a more intimate way.

Shi Qingxue was at a loss whether to cry or to laugh, while Shi Juncai curled up with fear and slapped himself in the face repeatedly, begging for mercy. “I said something wrong. Your Excellency, you are magnanimous. Please forgive me.”

Mo Junyang looked cold and kept silent. Obviously, he didn’t get happy after Shi Juncai begged. He didn’t say anything even though Shi Juncai’s face was swollen after he slapped himself.

Shi Juncai knew how powerful this royal family member was and moaned in secret, but on the surface, he had to please Mo Junyang respectfully.

Shi Qingxue couldn’t bear to see that and stopped Shi Juncai from injuring himself, saying casually, “Enough.”

She stopped Shi Juncai but looked at Mo Junyang, hinting, “Let me deal with this matter by myself.”

Mo Junyang’s eyes were cold and he was unmoved.

Shi Qingxue pouted and knew what he meant.

However, under the watchful eyes of all people, even if she wanted to butter him up, she couldn’t go too far.

Qingxue looked around secretly and then chose an angle that all people couldn’t see. She reached out her hand and scratched Mo Junyang’s palm.

As a result, Mo Junyang glanced at her casually, and then she instantly gave him a flattering smile.

Her smile was sweet and beautiful.

Mo Junyang withdrew his hand which was touched by Qingxue and felt that his palm was burning. He clenched it involuntarily.

Then he found that his action was abrupt, so he raised his hand and put it beside his mouth in a feigned manner, coughing in a low voice.

He just allowed Shi Qingxue to do what she wanted.

Shi Qingxue turned to Shi Juncai and asked seriously, “Do you want me to save you?”

“Certainly.” Shi Juncai gave her a positive answer without hesitation.

Then he talked big to promise, “As long as you can save me, even if I slave for you, I will be grateful to you for a lifetime…”

“No need!” Shi Qingxue interrupted Shi Juncai’s unrealistic great speech and added indifferently, “I don’t need you to slave for me. I only want you to tell the truth.”

Shi Juncai paused for a moment and didn’t understand why Shi Qingxue suddenly made such a request like to cover up for him and deceive others.

However, he was happy as he didn’t need to pay a price, so he patted his chest at once and replied, “Just ask. I can tell you everything that I know.”

Shi Qingxue stared at Shi Juncai and asked out of the blue, “Did you ruin Grandpa’s grave?”

Shi Juncai’s face stiffened and he trembled uncontrollably. After quite a while, he came back to earth and stuttered to defend himself. “You… What nonsense are you talking about? How is it possible? That’s my father’s grave. No matter how badly-behaved I am, I will never do something so immoral. Qingxue, don’t take me as a scapegoat because you can’t find the chief criminal!”

“Yes? Shi Qingxue didn’t make comments but asked in reply softly.

She looked at Shi Juncai, with a complicated expression. “I have said that I just want you to tell the truth. If you are unwilling to, don’t blame me for my ruthlessness.”

“No!” Shi Juncai shouted with terror.

He was in panic and wanted to grab Shi Qingxue’s sleeve, yet he shrank back when he saw Mo Junyang.

Looking at Shi Qingxue’s distant face, Shi Juncai started to ponder. On one hand, he thought that she must have no evidence to prove that he did it, so she threatened him and forced him to tell the truth. Therefore, as long as he didn’t admit it, she could do nothing to him. On the other hand, he was afraid that if he didn’t tell the truth, Shi Qingxue would really get hard-hearted and refuse to save him.

Shi Juncai pondered for a long time and gritted his teeth in the end, shaking his head. “I really didn’t ruin my father’s grave.”

After saying that, he looked sad as if he was hurt. With tears in his eyes, he stared at Shi Qingxue and shouted in depression, “Qingxue, I don’t know why you think that. That’s my father. How can I do something so conscienceless?”

Shi Qingxue wasn’t in the mood to talk with him. She turned to Mo Junyang and blinked. The young man nodded and then said something to Wei Zichao.

Wei Zichao ran out.

The two didn’t say anything, but everything went smoothly. Even Shi Junhe didn’t know what their puzzle was.

When all people were in doubt, Wei Zichao brought somebody into the room, which made Shi Juncai turn pale again. The third master sat on the floor on his knees and looked at the comer with fear, unable to speak a word.

The comer was the grave keeper whose family name was Wang sent to guard the ancestral mausoleum of the Shi family then, Wang Guangping.

Wang Guangping had been taught by Qu Yuexuan and the others these days. As soon as he entered the room, he knelt to Shi Junhe while trembling and told him that Shi Juncai ordered him and another grave keeper Zeng Caiwang to ruin Shi Lei’s grave and steal his skeleton from it.

Before others asked, Wang Guangping told the cause and effect.

Shi Juncai had dug and ruined Shi Lei’s grave, and his crime was exposed and undisputed.

The accusation against Shi Juncai made him dispirited and speechless, while the others, and even including Mo Shujun, didn’t overreact.

In another word, such a result was not surprising.

Shi Qingxue waved her hand, gesturing for Wei Zichao to take Wang Guangping away. Then she gazed at Shi Juncai and asked, “Do you have anything else to say?”
