When You Junle first heard Shi Junhe call him 'big brother', he was completely shocked.
It took him a while to recover from the name.
Then, his face sank, and he asked in displeasure: "You call me 'Big Brother'?"
Shi Junhe's eyes were heavy, seemingly filled with endless sadness and heaviness.
He just looked at You Junle without saying a word. It was only for a moment, but it was enough to make You Junle soften.
Don't look at You Junle looking down on Shi Junhe, even a little resentful.
However, with deep love comes deep responsibility.
If You Junle had not had too high expectations for Shi Junhe, how could he have emotions such as resentment due to disappointment
He knew Shi Junhe for too long, and he even watched Shi Junhe's birth with his own eyes.
At that time, You Junle was only eight or nine years old. Looking at the chubby baby in the cradle, the awareness of being an older brother made him feel like he suddenly became an upright man.
However, the happy days lasted only a hundred days, and You Si's body declined sharply, letting the shadow of death hang over this originally happy family of 'four'...
Thinking that all this was caused by that woman Mo Shujun, You Junle felt itching with hatred, and the slightest movement of his face was taken back by him with a hard heart.
You Junle glared at Shi Junhe with a cold face and said angrily: "If you accept that woman Mo Shujun as your mother, you have no right to call me 'eldest brother'!"
Shi Qingxue stared: "..."
Although she doesn't like Mo Shujun, Shi Junhe has been raised by Mo Shujun for so many years. Isn't it too much to ask him to turn his back and be ruthless
Shi Junhe's face looked ugly, but he didn't look away from You Junle and just replied dully: "I know."
It was just three simple words. You Junle didn't understand it at first, thinking that Shi Junhe was perfunctory with him. He was about to ask a question, but suddenly he was blessed and understood what Shi Junhe meant.
Shi Junhe said "I know", and he just called himself "big brother", does that mean...
You Junle's eyes suddenly became moist. He couldn't bear it any longer. He stepped forward and grabbed Shi Junhe's hands, and asked seriously and persistently: "Are you serious?"
Shi Junhe nodded cautiously, and then spoke tentatively: "I will get my father's bones back. You..."
"There are also mother's bones!" You Junle added eagerly.
He was still a little unsure, scratching his head and explaining: "I saw with my own eyes that the eight-treasure box containing my mother's ashes accompanied my father's burial, but now it has disappeared. Others will not covet a worthless urn, only Only that vicious woman Mo Shujun would do such a thankless thing!
She was jealous of her mother from the beginning. She tried every means to separate her parents during her lifetime, and even prevented them from being reunited after her death! "
Hearing You Junle's "vicious" words, Shi Junhe's eyes couldn't help but darken, but he soon recovered.
He just nodded and then promised, "I will go back and tell... her."
"But..." Shi Qingxue couldn't help but interject in a low voice.
It should be a happy thing for brothers to reunite and relieve their knots, but the things being discussed at the moment made it impossible for her to relax.
She had no choice but to remind: "Ancestor..."
She responded to her habitual address, but could not address Mo Shujun by her first name, so she could only say: "The eldest princess cares so much about grandpa, don't say she won't admit that it happened more than ten years ago. Even if we find evidence to make her confess, she will not hand over the bones of grandpa and... grandma."
Shi Junhe and You Junle fell silent at the same time.
I have to say that Shi Qingxue hit the point.
Forty years ago, Mo Shujun was just an eldest princess. The late emperor had not even secured the throne, so she dared to force the hero to divorce his wife and marry her. Now that she has become an eldest princess, even the current Queen Mother has to give her three points. Bo Mian, even if she was really wrong, I'm afraid she wouldn't admit it.
The three people stopped talking at the same time, and after a while, they simultaneously turned to look at Mo Junyang, who did not express an opinion.
Mo Junyang calmly let the three of them watch. When their eyes were sore, he still looked calm.
He neither spoke nor got involved in their affairs, as if he was really just a bystander.
But the more he behaves like this, the clearer it becomes to the other three: Mo Junyang has a way!
only…
"Jun Yang!" Shi Qingxue said bravely.
Mo Junyang cast his gaze on Qingxue, saying softly and dotingly, "Huh?"
The slightly raised tone was completely relaxed, and the affectionate eyes seemed to say: As long as you speak, I will pluck the stars from the sky for you.
But in this case, Shi Qingxue couldn't speak.
"Ahem!" After all, Shi Junhe was so old that he couldn't tell what Mo Junyang was thinking.
He coughed twice and asked proactively: "Prince Mo, do you have a way to get the bones of Qingxue's grandfather and grandmother back?"
Although Shi Junhe felt that this matter was his and You Junle's responsibility, he also understood deeply that if it weren't for Shi Qingxue's face, Mo Junyang would not bother with this trouble at all, let alone help them find Shi Qingxue. The corpses of Lei and You Si were found.
So even though he was reluctant to let Qingxue owe Mo Junyang this favor, he still had to do it in Qingxue's name.
Mo Junyang could hear the implication of Shi Junhe's words from the sentence "the bones of Qingxue's grandfather and grandmother".
Indeed, if Shi Junhe had just said 'my parents', then even if Mo Junyang really had a way, he would definitely say that he didn't have any.
However, since Shi Junhe had carried Qingxue out, Mo Junyang's answer was naturally a little more cautious.
"General Shi, I can't answer your question at the moment whether I can do anything about it."
As soon as Mo Junyang opened his mouth, Shi Junhe showed a look of disappointment, lowered his head, and muttered to himself in despair: "Sure enough."
Mo Junyang continued: "Because of what happened more than forty years ago, I still have a few things that I haven't figured out yet. I hope Shopkeeper You can tell the truth."
"You ask." You Junle already understood from the attitudes of Shi Junhe and his daughter. If he wanted to achieve his wish, he could only ask for help from Mo Junyang. Naturally, he knew everything.
Mo Junyang asked politely: "You said that when the eldest princess asked to marry Mr. Shi, Mr. Shi had already married your mother? What exactly happened? Do you know?"
"In that war-torn era, women sometimes had to go to the battlefield. My mother was once a female soldier. She met and married her father on the battlefield. Then in order to accompany her father, she voluntarily gave up her career and accompanied him as a maid. They fought in the east and west. At that time, they had already bowed to heaven and earth and became husband and wife. However, because of the war, they did not reveal their relatives and friends, and they did not even show the intimacy of husband and wife in the military camp and in daily life.
This gave Mo Shujun, who had become the eldest princess at that time, an opportunity. Mo Shujun took a fancy to her father's character and talents, and encouraged the late emperor to marry her, but she still didn't give up even after her father politely refused. She noticed that her father was acting unusually toward her mother and began to make things difficult for her mother.
In order to protect his mother, his father had no choice but to reveal the fact that the two had become a couple. This caused a lot of controversy at the time. Some people who could not understand his father even made vicious remarks, saying that his father had abandoned his official duties for private purposes and even kept concubines in private while he was marching. As a result, my father almost lost his position as a general.
Fortunately, there was a war between Liang State and Mo State at that time, and our country lost three cities in a row. Those ministers who had clamored to remove my father from the post of general came again to beg my father to go to war. His father led the Shi family army to fame in one battle, saved Mo Country, and completely shut up those talkative people. "
Mentioning those people on the wall, You Junle couldn't help but have a bit of sarcasm on his face, and there was also respect and admiration for Shi Lei that he didn't even notice.
Before, he used to refer to him as "Shi Lao Guogong", artificially severing the relationship between him and Shi Lei's adopted father and son, but when he brought up the past, he still couldn't hide his strong feelings for Shi Lei.
Shi Qingxue noticed it, but she would not remind You Junle. Instead, she asked enthusiastically: "What happened next? How are grandpa and grandma?"
Now she has no problem calling You Si 'grandma' anymore, and she can't help but wonder: What kind of heroine will a woman who can be worthy of her grandfather be
After listening to Shi Qingxue's words, You Junle's expression dimmed. After a long while, he said in a deep voice: "After that, my mother's identity was exposed, but for her father's career, she had only General Shi's wife. Despite his name, the treatment he enjoys is the same as before. Moreover, he has to endure Mo Shujun's harassment all day long.
Fortunately, later on, my mother became pregnant with Junhe, and even the late emperor couldn't bear to see her, so she kept Mo Shujun in check, and we were able to live a peaceful life.
But the good times did not last long. Within two months, the war in Mo country started again. His father was away from home all year round. After his mother became pregnant, she became sensitive and worried. She cried and worried about her father all day long. When Junhe was born, she My body is already..."
Recalling those days, You Junle burst into tears again, his voice choked with sobs.
Shi Junhe had no impression of You Si at all, but blood connection was really that magical. When he heard You Junle mention You Si, a vague figure of a woman began to appear in his mind. He couldn't see clearly, but it made him feel at ease. ,warmth.
He couldn't help but ask: "Mom, what disease does she have? Also, what is the missing medicine introduction?"
Hatred flashed in You Junle's eyes, and his anger surged, but he suppressed it forcibly in the next second. He just spoke with a tone of gritted teeth, "I don't know, no one knows. Whether it's an imperial doctor or a civilian. Doctors, everyone is at a loss, but I only know one thing..."
"What?" Shi Junhe suddenly had a bad feeling, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat.
You Junle stared at Shi Junhe and said word by word: "I only know that the first time my mother fell ill was after Mo Shujun personally came to visit my mother and you, and finally gave her to my mother. The imperial doctor who prescribed the medicine was eventually found to be Mo Shujun's person."
