Chapter 309: Convict Him

Mo Shujun glanced at Shi Juncai and then looked away subconsciously as soon as she met his begging eyes.

“Mother, you can’t watch me die and do nothing. I am your only child now. If I die, you will be really alone.” Shi Juncai was afraid that Mo Shujun wouldn’t save him, so he moved on his knees to her and grabbed her sleeve, making a pitiful plea.

However, Mo Shujun shook off Shi Juncai’s hand in the end and declared distantly, “Just deal with this case as you like. I won’t get involved.”

After saying, she led her people to leave the ancestral hall of the Shi family, no matter how pitifully Shi Juncai cried.

Shi Juncai got up in a hurry and wanted to chase Mo Shujun, while Wei Zichao stopped him at the gate.

He pushed Wei Zichao in rage, yet as the latter attacked him with internal force, he fell to sit on the floor heavily, screaming, “Ouch!”

Unfortunately, all people present didn’t have extra sympathy to him. They all looked at his feigned manner indifferently.

Shi Juncai cried for a while but then stopped resentfully after seeing that all people ignored him.

He glared at Shi Qingxue and asked shamelessly, “Don’t you want to get your grandpa’s skeleton back?”

Shi Qingxue goggled and could hardly believe that Shi Juncai still had the face to negotiate with her.

She sneered and asked emotionlessly, “What? Do you still want to make a deal?”

Shi Juncai took it for granted and nodded. “Now Fa…”

Under Shi Qingxue’s glare, he was ashamed to call “father”, yet he expressed his resentment of so many years.

Shi Juncai spat on the floor and continued, “Now Shi Lei’s skeleton is in my hands. It’s fine if you want to get it back, but you need to give me profit. Otherwise, it is improper, right?”

Under the situation, Shi Juncai didn’t try hard to conceal his feelings. In fact, he hated Shi Lei to the bone since long ago and had even doubted if Shi Lei had known earlier that this was not his biological son so he didn’t like the youngest son no matter what he did.

When Shi Lei made efforts to educate Shi Junhe to work hard, Shi Juncai still idled about at home, and even when he was unwilling to go to private school, Shi Lei gave in after saying only a few words since Mo Shujun protected the son.

He was happy in secret for Mo Shujun’s protection then, but now every time he thought of it, he believed that Shi Lei just gave him up.

If Shi Lei was as strict with him as Shi Junhe, how would he make fewer achievements than Shi Junhe?

While thinking, Shi Juncai believed that he had been treated unfairly, and everything was caused by Shi Lei who was partial, so he got more courageous when threatening Shi Qingxue.

Shi Qingxue peacefully listened to him till he finished his words. Then she pursed her lips and asked impassively, “What profit do you want?”

“Save me!” Shi Juncai shouted emotionally.

His greedy eyes fell on the token granted by Emperor in Shi Qingxue’s hand, and he added anxiously, “As long as you use the token granted by Emperor and make me get away with it, I will give Shi Lei’s skeleton back to you, okay?”

Shi Qingxue looked at Shi Juncai coldly and disillusioned the latter, stressing each word. “I have said that the token granted by Emperor is left by Grandpa to the descendants of the Shi family. Do you think that you have the qualification to escape from the punishment?”

Shi Juncai looked embarrassed but soon toughened while snorting. “I don’t care. Anyway, only if I stay alive can you have a chance to get back Shi Lei’s skeleton. If you insist on ruining me, let’s perish together, and you will never get his skeleton back.”

Shi Qingxue remained silent.

She knew that Shi Juncai’s request was shameless, yet she couldn’t bear to see that her grandpa’s skeleton was in the hands of such a contemptible man.

She had to spare the rat to save the dishes and accept Shi Juncai’s threat.

When she was in a dilemma, Mo Junyang silently took her out of the ancestral hall.

It turned out that Wei Ziye was waiting at the gate. Seeing Shi Qingxue, he didn’t dare to delay but told the two masters about the message that he had just got.

Shi Qingxue was confused in the beginning. While listening, she furrowed her brows more tightly and then got furious in the end.

“Bastard!”

Shi Qingxue almost went crazy and returned to the ancestral hall with her red eyes.

Under all people’s astonished eyes in the room, she dragged Shi Juncai up and cursed in a rage, “Asshole, I will kill you!”

After speaking, she punched Shi Juncai’s face and beat him till he fell on the floor.

It was Shi Qingxue’s first time to be so angry. Everybody around was dumbfounded, and even Mo Junyang who followed her in was stunned, too.

After a while, seeing that Shi Qingxue still planned to rush to beat Shi Juncai again seemingly, Mo Junyang walked forward and hugged her from behind. He grabbed her clenched fist, comforting her softly. “Stop…Even if you want to beat him, don’t use your fist. What if you are injured?”

When Mo Junyang started to speak, Shi Junhe was about to nod in approval, but after he heard the young man’s last words, he put on a long face at once.

Shi Junhe rebuked with a frown, “Qingxue, don’t mess around. He is your uncle anyway. Don’t go too far.”

Even though he said that, he didn’t plan to apologize for Shi Qingxue’s punch.

He looked indifferent, and he stopped Shi Qingxue just because he didn’t hope that they would make this matter too embarrassing.

However, hearing Shi Junhe’s words, Shi Qingxue was more irritated and her eyes were red out of anger. She retorted emotionally, “He is not my uncle. Father, do you know what on earth he did?”

“What?” Shi Junhe frowned and his face became tense.

Shi Qingxue glared at Shi Juncai ferociously with her resentful eyes and then took a deep breath before she finally calmed down with difficulty. “He doesn’t have Grandpa’s skeleton because he crushed the skeleton to ashes and poured them into a river.”

Shi Junhe’s eyes widened in shock. “What? Is it true?”

He was scared by this shocking news and got dizzy, moving backward before he managed with effort to steady himself, but he still looked astonished after a long time. It seemed that he couldn’t believe what he had heard.

Shi Juncai was also surprised and denied it subconsciously. “No, I didn’t. Father’s skeleton is still in my hands. Don’t listen to her bullshit…”

He stuttered. At the sight of Shi Qingxue’s piercing eyes, he had a shiver down his spine and cried feebly, “I told the truth. Shi Qingxue, don’t you want to get back your grandpa’s skeleton? If you don’t, I will really tell somebody to turn it into ashes and throw them into a river.”

Shi Juncai intentionally looked ferocious and said it with certainty.

However, Shi Qingxue had known the truth, so she certainly wouldn’t be cheated by Shi Juncai’s words.

She waited indifferently till Shi Juncai finished his words and then expressed coldly, “Since you like to crush a skeleton to ashes so much, please rest assured. After you die in the future, I will treat you in the same way in return.”

Nobody knew whether Shi Juncai was frightened by Shi Qingxue’s threatening eyes or her words, and he opened his mouth but couldn’t speak a word after a long time.

Qingxue didn’t plan to say more to him. Then she turned to Shi Junhe. “Father, the criminal who killed Uncle Junfeng has been captured. Just send him to the government.”

The words “send to the government” stimulated Shi Juncai in an instant. He struggled violently again and wanted to grab Shi Junhe’s sleeve. “Brother, save me. You can’t be so heartless.”

However, after Shi Junhe heard about what Shi Juncai had done to Shi Lei’s skeleton, he was completely disappointed at this so-called brother. He ignored Shi Juncai’s plea and just waved at Wei Zichao, gesturing for him to take Shi Juncai away.

Shi Juncai’s shrill cries became lower and lower till it disappeared in the end.

The rest of people in the ancestral hall of the Shi family remained silent for a long while.

After a long time, Shi Junhe moved his stiff body and then shook.

“Father!” Shi Qingxue called in a hurry and reached out her hand to support him.

Shi Junhe waved away her hand and stated casually, “No need. I am fine. All of you, go out now. I want to stay and talk with your grandpa.”

Shi Qingxue wanted to say more, while Shi Junhe had turned around.

She could do nothing but walk out of the ancestral hall with Mo Junyang.

When Qingxue reached the gate, she looked back worriedly, to see that Shi Junhe slowly walked to Shi Lei’s memorial tablet and then knelt down.

He remained unmoved.

Qingxue looked at him for quite a while and left with a sigh at last.

For the case that Shi Juncai had ordered Shi Wang to poison his elder brother Shi Junfeng to death, the evidence was solid. Even though Mo Shujun and Mo Junhao made efforts to help him, Shi Juncai was relieved of his official position and would be banished to one thousand five hundred kilometers away.

After Shi Juncai was imprisoned, Mo Shujun didn’t show up until he was sentenced to banishment.

At night before Shi Juncai was sent into banishment, Mo Shujun finally came to see him in the prison of the Ministry of Penalty.

After less than half a month, Shi Juncai lost a lot of weight with his face unshaven, looking like a beggar on the street.

Even though Mo Shujun was mad at Shi Juncai, seeing that her son was so haggard, she had tears in her eyes involuntarily. “Juncai.”

Shi Juncai raised his head and glanced at Mo Shujun coldly. Then he looked away and asked impassively, “What are you doing here?”

He said that in a distant tone. It seemed that Mo Shujun was less important to him than a stranger.

Mo Shujun couldn’t help but frown after hearing that, saying with displeasure, “Why do you speak to me like this? Don’t forget that I am your mother.”

“Mother?” Shi Juncai repeated with a forced smile and leered at Mo Shujun. “You are really a good mother. I have become like this because of you.”

Mo Shujun was rendered speechless and moved backward as she couldn’t stand steadily. Fortunately, the maid Rou’er supported her from behind, so she didn’t fall.

She trembled out of anger and cursed involuntarily, “Don’t you feel guilty till now? If you didn’t kill Junfeng, would you be in such a difficult position?”

At the mention of this matter, Shi Juncai cursed more emotionally, “If I didn’t take actions in advance, would the title of Duke Shi be given to me? I am your most loved child. Why did you consider leaving the title of nobility to Shi Junfeng who was good for nothing?”

Mo Shujun was astonished as she hadn’t expected that Shi Juncai still coveted the title of Duke Shi, so she said angrily, “I have planned a bright future for you, and you can enjoy wealth for a lifetime. Don’t you feel contented?”
