Mo Shujun paused and looked up suddenly, only to see Shi Junhe and others standing at the entrance of the darkroom at some unknown time, looking at her.
She was shocked and asked subconsciously: "Why are you here?"
Shi Junhe walked towards Mo Shujun step by step and asked instead of answering: "This should be the child asking you, right? As the head of the family, the child doesn't know when this ulterior secret room was added to our family. And..."
Shi Junhe's eyes fell on the bones on the bed. Before he could ask a question, Mo Shujun stood in front of the bones, blocking Shi Junhe's sight, and said eagerly: "He is mine!"
In a hurry, Mo Shujun even forgot to call herself 'my wife', and her whole mind was worried about whether Shi Junhe would take away the bones.
Shi Junhe did not move, but said calmly: "Mother, can I ask you why my father's bones are here with you?"
"I..." Mo Shujun was speechless.
She never expected that this darkroom would be discovered by Shi Jun and the others. With so many people coming, she might have guessed something, so she deliberately said that Shi Lei's bones had been found, which frightened her so much that she ran to the darkroom to check.
Mo Shujun thought angrily: It's really 'despicable'!
She glared at Shi Junhe angrily, still refusing to admit it, "I don't know what you are talking about? Didn't you just say that you had found Yunyang's bones? Why did you say that the bones are here in the blink of an eye?"
Saying this turned out to be Shi Junhe's fault.
Shi Junhe looked gloomy and was not angry when he heard Mo Shujun's almost raking words. He only said slowly: "First of all, someone told me that you dug my father's grave and took away his bones. I don't believe what you said. This kind of thing disturbed my father's peace, so I set up a game to expose the person who stole my father's bones. Unexpectedly... "
They had identified early on that the person who stole Shi Lei's body was someone from within the Shi family. That's why Shi Junhe got the news that Shi Lei's body had been recovered just after the family was divided, just to make the murderer afraid and think that he had stolen the body. Lost it, and then personally led them to retrieve the bones.
"I..." Mo Shujun was speechless again when she heard this. She didn't expect that it was because she was too nervous that she was exposed in the end.
But even though it had been stolen, she was still unwilling to hand over Shi Lei's bones. Instead, she said: "This is not... Yunyang's bones. You have made a mistake!"
Anyway, after turning into bones, everyone looks exactly the same, there is no difference.
If she doesn’t admit it, it’s not!
"If the mother has any doubts, the son can ask Divine Doctor Shen to come for examination. He will definitely be able to find out whose bones belong to him?" Shi Junhe said calmly, breaking Mo Shujun's illusion of trying to get away with it.
All of Mo Shujun's sophistry was blocked, so she sat on the bed with a livid face, refusing to let go or leave.
If any of you dare to move Shi Lei's bones away from my body, I will show his past momentum.
Shi Junhe was silent for a moment, and then suddenly asked: "Mom knows very well the principle of peace in the grave. Why don't you even want to give him the final peace of mind when you and your father are married? Please also ask your mother to return your father's bones so that they can be buried as soon as possible." …”
"Impossible!" Mo Shujun interrupted Shi Junhe without even thinking about it, even though she had no reason.
Facing Shi Junhe's surprised look, Mo Shujun was completely shameless, "No matter what you say, Yunyang's bones belong to me, and I will never give them to you under any circumstances."
After speaking domineeringly, Mo Shujun raised her chin slightly and said, "I am Yunyang's head wife. It is only reasonable for the husband and wife to be buried together."
Even though Shi Lei had never promised to be buried together during his lifetime.
Shi Junhe didn't understand Mo Shujun's thoughts at this time, but if he thought about it carefully, it was not difficult to understand how much Mo Shujun cared about Shi Lei.
Moreover, because the person who stole the bones became Mo Shujun, and the other party refused to hand over the bones, Shi Junhe could not forcefully ask Mo Shujun to do anything, and even had to cover up the matter.
after all…
Is there anything more ridiculous than a wife stealing the body of her dead husband just to bury them together
Shi Junhe pursed his lips and was about to cover up the matter.
Shi Qingxue secretly tugged on his sleeves, indicating with her eyes: This matter can't be let go like this.
Shi Junhe shook his head helplessly and whispered: "If it was mother... we can't..."
"Grandma asked to be buried with grandpa, which is indeed reasonable, but..." Shi Qingxue raised her eyebrows and sneered, "The matter of destroying grandpa's mausoleum and damaging grandpa's tombstone cannot be dismissed like this."
Everyone's faces froze, and they all thought of the tragic scene in front of Shi Lei's tomb, and then thought of the scene when Mo Shujun rushed to the scene and asked Shi Qingxue's crime regardless of the reason.
this…
Give it a good rake!
No matter how thick-skinned Mo Shujun was, she was slapped in the face by what she said and what she did.
But even so, Mo Shujun would not bow her head easily. She would just keep a stern face, avoid talking about all the truth, and only tell the facts: "I did not damage Yunyang's mausoleum, and I will never do that. I just brought it with you." I don’t know anything else about Yunyang’s corpse.”
A person who 'knows nothing at all' glances at himself completely.
Shi Qingxue sneered, but did not immediately expose Mo Shujun's lie. She only asked: "What about the eight treasure box?"
Even in the dimly lit secret room, one could see an unnatural look flashing across Mo Shujun's face, but it was quickly covered by her.
She said lightly: "I don't know what the eight treasure box is. I only took Yunyang's bones. As for where the original eight treasure box in the coffin went, I don't know."
I don’t know again…
Mo Shujun thought that just saying "I don't know" would clear her up, but she didn't expect that Shi Qingxue was waiting for her here.
After hearing what she said, she immediately asked again: "Since you said you didn't know, why did you know that there was a treasure box in the coffin?"
"It's not you who said..." Mo Shujun replied subconsciously.
Before he finished speaking, he realized that he had fallen into a trap.
Just now, Qingxue brought up the eight-treasure box, but she didn't explain where the eight-treasure box was originally placed
Shi Qingxue smiled slightly, and then asked: "Rong Qingxue makes a guess. Since grandma knew about the existence of the eight treasure box, it must have been during grandpa's burial. You saw the person who was buried putting the eight treasure box into the coffin with your own eyes. Right?"
Mo Shujun didn't want to slap herself in the face, so she could only admit this fact.
But she immediately said: "So what if it's like what you said? The eight-treasure box contains everything Yunyang asked his servants to put in it before he passed away. I have never seen it, so naturally I don't know what is in the eight-treasure box." .”
"Then when you took away Grandpa's bones, you found that the Eight Treasure Box was missing. Why did you keep it a secret and allow others to desecrate Grandpa's tomb?"
Shi Qingxue answered one question after another, leaving Mo Shujun speechless again.
If you didn't think carefully when you first lied, then every time you tell a lie, you will need more lies to cover it up, until there are so many loopholes that you can no longer continue.
Mo Shujun is in this state now - Shi Qingxue is not as easy to fool as Shi Junhe, and her attitude is tougher. It is not her toughness that can suppress the opponent.
Fortunately, at this time, a servant hurried to Shi Junhe and reported: "Master, there is someone outside who said that he had made an agreement with his ancestors and had something to give to the descendants of the Shi family."
"What?"
Everyone was stunned.
'An agreement was made with the ancestors' - this 'ancestor' clearly refers to Shi Lei, and the so-called 'descendants of the Shi family' are naturally Shi Junhe and others.
As soon as Shi Lei's bones disappeared - even though they had been found - someone came to the door. The timing was so thoughtful that it can't help but arouse people's imagination.
Mo Shujun was eager for someone to divert everyone's attention, so she immediately said: "Since there are guests, let's meet the guests first and talk about other things later."
After that, she drove everyone out of the darkroom. She was the last one to go out, locked the darkroom tightly, and hired two servants to stand guard at the door.
She looked cautious, fearing that someone would steal Shi Lei's bones while she was away.
Shi Qingxue's original impression of Mo Shujun was already at its peak, but when she suddenly looked at her like this, she couldn't help but feel a little touched in her heart.
Regardless of how bad and biased Mo Shujun was before, just because of her feelings for Shi Lei, it was hard for her to criticize Mo Shujun for this matter.
Shi Qingxue also believed that Mo Shujun would never be the one who destroyed Shi Lei's mausoleum.
Mo Shujun's anger and surprise when she rushed to the scene were undeniable. She did not know in advance that Shi Lei's mausoleum had been destroyed.
But if that's the case, why is Mo Shujun so secretive
"Because she already knew who the person who destroyed the tomb was, and after receiving the benefits, she agreed to help him hide the matter." Mo Junyang explained softly.
Shi Qingxue was deep in thought just now and didn't say a word, but Mo Junyang accurately guessed her doubts and gave an answer.
She no longer knew whether to be shocked at how Mo Junyang guessed what she was thinking, or surprised at the answer he gave.
Qingxue thought for a while and saw that no one noticed them, so she decided to let the matter go for now and just asked: "Why did you say that? It's not like you didn't see her caring about grandpa just now. Someone cares about grandpa." I can't stand such disrespect. As my grandfather's first wife, she will definitely be more angry with the murderer than me, and I wish I could kill him with a thousand knives, right?"
Mo Junyang nodded and responded: "That's the case under normal circumstances, but what if the benefits are great enough and the murderer is not the person she wants to deal with?"
"How big of a benefit would that be?" Shi Qingxue couldn't figure it out.
"For example..." Mo Junyang showed a playful smile, looked at the house that everyone had just walked out of, and asked: "For example, the bones of Mr. Shi, do you think this benefit is enough?"
That's enough!
When Qingxue came to her senses, she had even greater doubts, and then asked: "Then do you know who the murderer is? Why did he destroy grandpa's tomb and steal grandpa's bones? It can't be just to send them away." To Grandma.”
If this is the case, then the murderer should not have destroyed the tomb, but would have stolen the bones to please Mo Shujun without knowing it.
This whole thing is like a huge onion, the truth is wrapped in the innermost layer. It is difficult to peel off each layer, and the more you peel it off, the spicier the mystery becomes!
