Shi Juncai lowered his head with a pale face and sat on the floor on his knees, trembling.

When he raised his head again, he had tears covering his face, crying, “I admit that I stole Father’s skeleton, but…I did that for Mother!”

After shouting, he suddenly looked at Mo Shujun and begged, “Mother, I did that because you love Father deeply and want to be buried with him. In order to satisfy you, I considered stealing his skeleton and giving it to you.”

Shi Juncai did give the skeleton to Mo Shujun, and she couldn’t remain unmoved, although it was missing later.

Shi Qingxue wasn’t convinced but asked coldly, “If you just wanted to steal Grandpa’s skeleton, why did you ruin his grave and even do something so evil to it?”

It might be excusable to steal the skeleton, yet he couldn’t go unpunished after ruining the grave.

Shi Juncai’s face stiffened, and after a long while, he tried to explain, “I was afraid that others would suspect it then, so I had to ruin the grave and pretend that it was done by outsiders, but I really didn’t disrespect Father in my heart.

“If you are still unsatisfied, I can pay and have his grave restored.”

“Father?” Shi Qingxue repeated meaningfully.

Then under Shi Juncai’s surprised eyes, she added coldly, “You called him father for so many years. Don’t you feel guilty?”

After she asked such a question, even Mo Shujun’s face looked terrible, not to mention that Shi Juncai turned pale.

Mo Shujun stared at Shi Qingxue and asked coldly, “What do you mean by saying that?”

Shi Qingxue shrugged and replied unhurriedly, “Literally.”

She gazed at Mo Shujun. “Grandma, I still call you grandma now, but please examine your own conscience. Do you really qualify to be my grandma?”

“You!”

Mo Shujun turned red in anger and pointed to Shi Qingxue, cursing, “You cast wild aspersions at me. If you dare to talk nonsense again and slander me recklessly, don’t blame me when I turn against you.”

Shi Qingxue knew that these people wouldn’t give up till the end, so she didn’t want to argue with them. She just told them the truth coldly. “Do you think that the skeleton Shi Juncai gave you is really Grandpa’s?”

Mo Shujun was stunned and remained silent.

She glanced at Shi Juncai, and he shouted emotionally at once, “Mother, don’t believe her words. She just casts a bone between us.”

Shi Qingxue snorted and retorted with disdain, “Cast a bone between you? I disdain to do something so dirty. Grandma, just think about it. Since he was so heartless to do something evil to Grandpa’s grave, he must hate Grandpa to the bone. Do you think that he would really give the skeleton to you in one piece instead of seizing the chance to get back at him?”

“You are just bullshitting! I didn’t!” Shi Juncai resorted to sophistry in a loud voice and continued anxiously, “What you said is just your conjecture. Without evidence, I won’t let you slander me!”

“Slander?” Shi Qingxue seemed to have heard something laughable and curled her lips coldly.

“Okay. If you need evidence, I will give you.” She wiped the inexistent dust on her sleeve calmly and then looked at Mo Shujun who was in a daze.

Shi Qingxue asked, “The skeleton Shi Juncai gave you has been put in your dark room for a period, so you must be familiar with it, right?”

Mo Shujun was still confused and nodded in a trance.

“Do you still remember that Grandpa was once injured seriously on the battlefield when he was young and the bone in his right leg was fractured? He recovered after recuperating for a long time, yet his right knee would hurt in winter when it was cold.”

Mo Shujun still nodded, with doubts in her blank eyes.

“Grandma, please think about it with common sense. Grandpa was wounded so severely. Even though his body turned to white bone, can it be intact? And what does the right knee of the skeleton on the bed in your dark room look like?”

Shi Qingxue was good at giving methodical and patient guidance and spoke out the fact step by step.

In fact, only after Shi Junhe “stole” the skeleton did she find that it must not be Shi Lei’s skeleton. Later, she knew the truth gradually after Mo Junyang told her something.

In the beginning, Mo Shujun was absent-minded, but when she remembered something, her eyes suddenly got ferocious and she stared at Shi Juncai, questioning in a cold voice, “Juncai, what on earth happened?”

“Mother, it is not true. Shi Qingxue just talks nonsense. Don’t listen to her.” Shi Juncai still argued with excuses, yet his voice became lower and lower and disappeared in the end under Mo Shujun’s cold eyes.

Shi Qingxue finally said indifferently, “If not to get back Grandpa’s skeleton, I won’t reveal the dirty things you did in front of his memorial tablet.”

She stared at Shi Juncai and stressed each word. “Shi Juncai, I don’t care that you still have the family name Shi, and I don’t want to bother about the fact that you ruined our family’s fame, but please give my grandpa’s skeleton back. Otherwise, don’t blame me when I turn against you!”

Under Shi Qingxue’s stare, Shi Juncai was nervous and cowered yet soon suddenly understood that she wanted to ask him for something.

At this thought, Shi Juncai got excited and his face twisted because of the joy that he couldn’t conceal.

He trembled excitedly again. “Do you want to get back Father’s skeleton?”

Shi Qingxue didn’t answer but just gazed at him coldly.

Shi Juncai didn’t fear her anymore but raised his chin slightly, trying to discuss with her. “I can give Father’s skeleton to you, yet you must take out the token granted by Emperor to save my life. What do you think? Isn’t this deal fair?”

Shi Juncai thought that he had evidence against Shi Qingxue, so he negotiated with her in high spirits, while she glanced at him with disdain.

Shi Qingxue looked at Shi Juncai, as if looking at some garbage. “Even now you still have the face to call him father?”

Shi Juncai was stunned by her question.

Before he spoke, Mo Shujun protested, “Shi Qingxue, what do you mean?”

Shi Qingxue kept her composure and looked at Mo Shujun coldly. “A straightforward person does not resort to insinuations. Do I need to speak out who Shi Juncai’s father is?”

Mo Shujun instantly retorted in a sharp voice, “Juncai is Shi Lei’s son. Don’t bullshit to mislead the public.”

Shi Qingxue wasn’t in the mood to quarrel with her. Instead, she stated directly, “When you were pregnant with Shi Juncai, Grandpa was on the battlefield. In order to make your unborn baby Grandpa’s, you bought over the midwife and royal doctor to say that you got pregnant three months later, and when you gave birth to him, you said that it was premature birth. Do I need to tell you all these?”

“No!” Mo Shujun rarely forgot herself and shouted as she still wanted to refute it.

However, Shi Qingxue raised her hand and interrupted Mo Shujun, declaring indifferently, “It just happened thirty to forty years ago, and the midwife and royal doctor are still alive. Even the others who colluded with you are alive, too. Do I need to bring all of them to confront you or find that man?”

She paused for a moment and suddenly glanced at Shi Juncai who was in a daze, continuing emotionlessly, “I believe that Shi Juncai surely wants to know who that man is, right?”

When she asked this question, Shi Juncai suddenly realized everything and couldn’t help but goggle at Mo Shujun. He wanted to speak yet held back.

Mo Shujun avoided Shi Juncai’s eyes and still glared at Shi Qingxue coldly. She kept silent and refused to admit defeat.

“Qingxue,” Shi Junhe couldn’t control himself but called. He pulled Shi Qingxue’s arm gently and looked terrible. He wanted to say something seemingly, yet he hesitated, at a loss for words.

“Father, just let me ask.” Shi Qingxue got rid of Shi Junhe’s hand and stated seriously.

Shi Qingxue had known Mo Shujun’s true face and didn’t pin any hopes on this so-called grandma, while Shi Junhe still wanted to keep the mother-son relationship and didn’t hope that the girl would expose everything.

However, Qingxue didn’t think so.

Shi Juncai and Mo Shujun were so shameless and coveted the token granted by Emperor repeatedly, so she couldn’t endure it.

The Shi family was like a big tree whose root was rotten. No matter how beautiful it looked on the surface, its bone had decayed and it should be thrown away.

Shi Qingxue fixed her eyes on Mo Shujun again and continued, “Grandma, I know well about you, and you know well about me, too. If there is no solid evidence, will I talk about these with you in front of Grandpa’s memorial tablet?”

Mo Shujun bared her teeth and looked ferocious, as if she would rush to bite Shi Qingxue to death.

Shi Qingxue looked at Mo Shujun fearlessly. “Grandma, if you insist, I won’t mind talking with you here once and for all.”

“Enough!” Mo Shujun roared once more and glared at Shi Qingxue, saying resentfully, “Don’t you want me to admit everything? I admit it, okay?”

She said that yet still raised her chin arrogantly.

Even if she was really wrong, others should beg her to admit her fault.

Nobody could make her lower her head to acknowledge her mistakes.

Hearing Mo Shujun’s arrogant words, Shi Qingxue sneered. “You don’t need to admit your fault. You are Grandpa’s official wife. No matter what you have done, I don’t have the right to denounce you.”

Mo Shujun raised her chin higher conceitedly after hearing that.

Shi Qingxue pointed to Shi Juncai who knelt on the floor and said in an indifferent voice, “But he is not a member of our family, so he doesn’t have the right to use the token granted by Emperor. Grandma, hope that you can understand it.”

Mo Shujun pretended to be fearless on the surface, yet she was scared in her heart.

She had slept with another man and Shi Lei could divorce her according to the law. With the evidence Shi Juncai, if Shi Junhe pursued this matter further, as Shi Lei’s first son, he could legally end her marriage to his late father and tell her to leave the Shi family even though she was the princess royal.

Then she would be disgraced.

Mo Shujun was so aggressive just because she bet on one thing. Shi Qingxue cared about Shi Lei’s fame and wouldn’t reveal this truth to the public.

The fact proved that she won the bet.

However, Shi Qingxue told her to make a choice between her fame and Shi Juncai’s future, Mo Shujun really…
