When Mo Junyang saw Shi Qingxue thinking hard, he did not embarrass her, and gave a detailed explanation directly: "The eldest princess is not short of money, and secondly, she is not short of fame. There are very few things in this world that can really lure her. , unless it’s something she cares about…”
"I know!" Shi Qingxue's eyes lit up.
She quickly replied: "It's Shi Juncai!"
Mo Junyang showed a light smile.
Qingxue became more confident and continued: "Grandma may not have anything she can ask for, but Shi Jun has a lot!
Sometimes when a talented person is around, whether you want to intimidate or induce, it becomes much easier. "
What's more, the murderer still has Shi Lei's bones as a bargaining chip. Is this negotiation going to be a happy one
Among them, only Shi Lei, who had passed away for a long time, had been wronged. He served his country and his family with great military exploits during his lifetime, but after his death, he was still used as a bargaining chip and had no peace.
Thinking of this, Shi Qingxue became extremely angry, and the slight emotion towards Mo Shujun just now disappeared.
She was so angry that she didn't notice that the smile on Mo Junyang's face had already faded after hearing her analysis.
He didn't interrupt, but only said after Qingxue finished: "Let's not talk about this for now. Let's also go to the living room and have a look. Maybe the person who sent us the things this time can answer our questions?"
"Huh?" Shi Qingxue looked at Mo Junyang suspiciously.
Question: "I've been surprised since someone reported just now that grandpa's body was found... The servant from Kyoto Prefecture who came to report the news is one of yours, right?"
Mo Junyang had no intention of hiding Qingxue and nodded calmly, "Before, I was not sure that the bones of the old Duke Shi were in her hands, so I had to think of a way to cast a wide net, and then let the murderer take us with him without asking for it. Get the bones back."
After hearing this, Shi Qingxue was not angry. She just nodded her head and asked again: "Then..."
"Qingxue, although I do have some abilities, I can't do anything magical! You really don't care about my business this time!" Mo Junyang raised his hands in the air, showing that he was really innocent this time.
Shi Qingxue looked at Mo Junyang suspiciously, and after a while, she asked uncertainly: "Really?"
Of course, Mo Junyang nodded repeatedly, "Actually, everyone has come to Duke Shi's Mansion now. If you really want to know what that person is here for, wouldn't it be better to just go to the living room?"
"All right!"
When Qingxue and Mo Junyang came to the living room of the house, there were already people standing inside.
The two of them hid behind quietly and listened to them.
Shi Junhezheng asked the identity of the person who came to deliver things, "Who do you think you are? What do you want to give to 'descendants'?"
Standing in the middle was a middle-aged man, neither tall nor short, with a slightly stout figure. His expression was serious and cautious. After confirming Shi Junhe's identity, he slowly spoke: "As for the young master who returned to China, the younger one is You." I remember the shopkeeper of the pawn shop, today the owner gave me something and asked me to give it to you..."
While he was talking, he had already taken out a thick object wrapped in red cloth layer by layer, about the size of a palm, and the contents could not be clearly seen.
Seeing this, Shi Junhe quickly reached out to pick it up. Unexpectedly, the other party avoided his movement and refused to hand the thing to Shi Junhe.
You Ji, the owner of the pawnshop, then continued, "...'s daughter."
Everyone: "..."
It's not that you don't have to breathe when you speak, but you don't have to take a big breath.
Because of the middle-aged man's weird behavior, everyone began to speculate in their minds, what exactly is this thing? Why couldn't he give it to Shi Junhe, but instead gave it to his daughter
Is the owner of Youji's pawnshop really Shi Lei's old friend? What kind of relationship do they have, so that after so many years in Shi Lei's time, they suddenly appeared and handed things to Shi Lei's descendants
Doubts are like snowballs that are getting bigger and bigger, filling everyone's minds.
It failed to solve it, but gave them more headaches.
The shopkeeper did not give everyone a chance to think deeply. He turned his attention directly to Shi Jun and the younger generation behind him, and asked politely: "Who is the daughter of the Duke of the country?"
Shi Baoning was pushed by Wen Renchi before he reacted and subconsciously responded: "I, I am."
The shopkeeper first looked Shi Baoning up and down, made a rough confirmation, and then nodded slightly, seeming to accept Shi Baoning's words.
But he still asked cautiously: "I wonder if I can ask this lady to show her private seal so that I can confirm my identity."
Afraid that Shi Baoning would be angry, he quickly added respectfully, "I'm not deliberately making things difficult for you. This matter is actually of great importance. I am entrusted by my master and I don't dare to be careless. Please forgive me."
Shi Baoning hurriedly said it was nothing, and while taking out the private seal from his arms and handing it to the other party, he couldn't help but ask: "Even if I hand over the private seal to you, how are you going to confirm that 'I' is 'I'?"
Even if Shi Baoning's name is written on the private seal, it would be too easy to fake it! If others want to engrave Shi Baoning's private seal, they can do it casually. If they haven't seen it before, they can be easily deceived, right
The shopkeeper gave Shi Baoning a reassuring smile, "Don't worry, Miss, Mr. Shi had already anticipated this, so he had already carved out your private seal when entrusting the token to each other. Small…” as a reference.
While he was speaking, he had already taken out a piece of yellowed white paper and opened it. As he was turning it over, Baoning's private seal was compared with the mark on the white paper.
Before he finished speaking, when he saw something, his hand suddenly stopped and he swallowed all the rest of the words.
"Miss, you're not..." The shopkeeper's face was full of embarrassment, as if there was something he couldn't say, and he stammered when he spoke.
When the shopkeeper took out the seals for comparison, Shi Baoning had expected that the other party would be impossible to compare. Seeing the other party's expression at this time, he just explained calmly: "I was replaced by my grandmother and father after I was born. I carved my personal seal, and my grandfather had already passed away at that time, so..."
So the shopkeeper suddenly took out a mark and asked for comparison. It was impossible for the comparison to be successful.
However, after hearing her words, the shopkeeper's face became even more ugly. He hesitated for a long time before saying: "But the master said that only when the private seal matches the mark in the little hand can..."
Perhaps he was afraid of offending Shi Baoning, so his voice became softer and softer after he spoke, but he still had the courage to ask and continued: "Excuse me, Miss, are you really the granddaughter of Duke Shi?"
Probably because he was afraid of angering Shi Baoning, he lowered his head after asking this question quickly and remained humble.
Fortunately, Shi Baoning had a gentle temperament. When he was offended, he just frowned in displeasure, but nodded and replied: "Of course, everyone present can prove it."
The shopkeeper was not stupid enough to ask others for confirmation. He just asked again without giving up: "Is she also the daughter of Duke Shi?" Shi Baoning: "..."
This time, even Shi Junhe couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to help and replied: "She is indeed my daughter? Sir, is there anything wrong?"
The shopkeeper's brows almost turned into peaks, and he blurted out: "But isn't your daughter's name Shi Qingxue?"
Everyone in the Shi family: "..."
The expressions on everyone's faces changed, and Shi Baoning's face turned red with embarrassment.
Shi Junhe stared, not knowing how to answer the shopkeeper's words.
Is this middle-aged man here to sow discord between their families
Knowing that he had two daughters, he still said, "His only daughter is Shi Qingxue," as if he directly denied the existence of Shi Baoning.
Even if the middle-aged man is just a pawnshop owner, the lethality of these words will increase exponentially!
Shi Baoning was delicate, sensitive and suspicious. If the person being treated like this were Shi Qingxue, he would not be as restless as he is now, and would not even dare to look at Shi Baoning.
The shopkeeper didn't know that he had said something wrong, so he babbled again: "The master told me that the granddaughter of the old Duke is named Shi Qingxue, and this piece of paper has the imprint of his private seal. The private seal is the old master's. The work was made by the Duke himself and cannot be faked. Isn’t Miss Shi Qingxue your daughter?”
Shi Junhe: "..." Is it too late for him to strangle the shopkeeper to death
He was silent for a long time before answering in as calm a tone as possible: "I have two daughters, and Qingxue is just one of my daughters. You..."
When the shopkeeper heard that it was indeed Qingxue, his face suddenly showed a look of relaxation and joy, and he quickly said: "Then please ask Miss Qingxue to show me your private seal!"
He was worried that he would mess up and be scolded by his master when he returned. He didn't care that the person he was facing was Shi Guogong. He hurriedly grabbed the conversation and looked behind Shi Junhe and Shi Baoning.
Soon, his eyes were locked on Shi Qingxue, and he suddenly lit up and asked in surprise: "Are you Miss Qingxue?"
Before Shi Qingxue could recover from her embarrassment, she was suddenly called out by the shopkeeper You Ji in front of everyone. She was embarrassed and annoyed, and was about to deny it.
The shopkeeper seemed to feel her attitude and hurriedly added: "I have a relic of the old Duke of Shi in my hand. It was given to the young master by the old Duke of Shi before his death, and he asked the young master to hand it over to him at the right time. Your."
Upon hearing that it was Shi Lei's relic, Shi Qingxue was reluctant to send the person away casually.
Although she thought it was too much to make Shi Baoning angry because this man couldn't speak, she still wanted to know what Shi Lei had left for her.
She nodded anyway, took out her private seal and handed it to the shopkeeper, "If you want to see it, just see it yourself!"
Because the shopkeeper just offended his sister, although she knew she shouldn't, Shi Qingxue still didn't have a nice tone.
At the same time, he reminded me not very seriously: "Although my private seal was carved for me by my grandfather, after so many years, I was naughty when I was a child. I don't know how many times I dropped it. If it gets broken, what's wrong with me?" No. 1, please don’t come to me with questions.”
This was almost like a lie, but instead of being angry after hearing this, the shopkeeper smiled lightly.
In an environment where everyone was tensedly waiting for him to tell the result, it seemed very strange.
Especially the look he gave Shi Qingxue at the end, it seemed a little... doting
