Mo Shujun first looked at Shi Juncai, and when she met the latter's eager gaze, she unconsciously looked away.
"Mom, you can't just die without saving me! I'm your only flesh and blood now! If you don't even have me, you'll really be alone!" Shi Juncai was afraid that Mo Shujun really wouldn't save him, so he knelt down all the way. He climbed up to Mo Shujun, pulled her sleeves, and cried until he burst into tears.
However, Mo Shujun finally brushed away Shi Juncai's hand and said coldly: "You can do whatever you like with this matter! I don't care about it!"
After that, no matter how pitifully Shi Juncai cried, he took his people and left the Shi family ancestral hall.
Shi Juncai hurriedly got up and wanted to chase Mo Shujun, but Wei Zichao blocked the door.
Angrily, he pushed Wei Zichao, but the latter's internal force bounced him, causing him to squat on his butt and let out an "ouch" cry of pain.
Unfortunately, the people present had long lost their excess sympathy for him and looked at his pretense indifferently.
Shi Juncai cried for a while. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he stopped crying angrily.
He glared at Shi Qingxue and said shamelessly: "Don't you want your grandfather's bones back?"
Shi Qingxue stared, almost unbelievable that Shi Juncai had the nerve to negotiate terms with her
She raised her lips coldly and asked without a tone: "What? Do you still want to negotiate terms?"
Shi Juncai nodded matter-of-factly, "Now father..."
Under Shi Qingxue's glare, he didn't have the nerve to shamelessly call him "Father" anymore, but he showed all the resentment he had felt over the years.
Shi Juncai made a 'poof' sound to the ground, and then continued: "Now Shi Lei's bones are in my hands. You can go back if you want, but you have to give me some benefits, otherwise this won't go away, right?"
Until now, Shi Jun didn't bother to hide himself anymore. In fact, he had hated Shi Lei so much that he even wondered if Shi Lei knew that he was not his biological son, so no matter what he did, he couldn't get into Shi Lei's house. eyes.
While Shi Lei was trying his best to teach Shi Junhe to work hard, he was still idle at home. He even refused to go to a private school to study. Shi Lei said a few words and stopped when he saw Mo Shujun protecting him.
At the beginning, he was still secretly happy that he had Mo Shujun protecting him, but now every time he thinks about it, he feels that this is Shi Lei giving up on him.
If Shi Lei was more strict with him, like he was with Shi Junhe, how could his current achievements be lower than Shi Junhe
The more Shi Juncai thought about it, the more he felt that he had been mistreated. Everything was caused by Shi Lei's partiality, and now he became more and more confident in threatening Shi Qingxue.
Shi Qingxue listened to him calmly, pursed her lips and said calmly: "What benefits do you want?"
"Save me!" Shi Juncai shouted excitedly.
Greedy eyes fell on the [Alchemy Iron Coupon] in Shi Qingxue's hand, and he said eagerly: "As long as you use the [Alchemy Iron Coupon] to prevent me from being punished, I will return Shi Lei's bones to you. Why?" Sample?"
Shi Qingxue looked at Shi Juncai with cold eyes, breaking the latter's unrealistic fantasy word by word, "I said, [Alchemy Book and Iron Coupon] was left by my grandfather to the descendants of the Shi family. Do you think you have it?" Are you eligible to be pardoned?"
Shi Juncai looked embarrassed, but soon became tough again, and said with a groan: "Then I don't care, anyway, only if I am alive can you possibly get back Shi Lei's bones. If you insist on destroying me, you will die. Let's all die together, and you will never get Shi Lei's bones back in your lifetime." Shi Qingxue stopped talking.
She knew how shameless Shi Juncai's request was, but she couldn't just watch her grandfather's bones fall into the hands of such a despicable person.
She had no choice but to accept the threat of Shi Juncai.
Just when she was in a dilemma, Mo Junyang silently took her out of the ancestral hall.
It turned out that Wei Ziye was waiting outside the door. When he saw Shi Qingxue, he did not dare to delay and quickly told the two masters the news he had just learned.
Shi Qingxue was a little confused at first, her brows furrowed more and more as she listened, and finally she became furious.
"asshole!"
Shi Qingxue was so angry that she walked back to the ancestral hall with red eyes.
With everyone in the room looking at him in astonishment, Shi Juncai was picked up and yelled angrily: "You beast, I'm going to kill you!"
After saying that, she punched Shi Juncai in the face and knocked him to the ground.
This was the first time in Shi Qingxue's life that she was so angry. Not to mention the people around her were stunned with fright, even Mo Junyang who followed her into the house was stunned.
After a while, Mo Junyang saw that Shi Qingxue seemed to have the intention of continuing to hit Shi Juncai, so he stepped forward and hugged Qingxue from behind, wrapped her clenched fist, and comforted her softly: "Don't hit her." Oh...even if you really want to hit, don’t hit with your fists, what if you get hurt?”
Shi Junhe listened to Mo Junyang's words and was about to nod in agreement when he heard the other person's words behind him, and suddenly a black line appeared.
He frowned and scolded: "Qingxue, don't mess around! No matter what, he is still your third uncle, so don't go too far."
Having said that, Shi Junhe had no intention of apologizing for Shi Qingxue's punch just now.
His expression was very cold, and when he stopped, Qingxue just didn't want this matter to get too ugly.
However, Shi Qingxue became even more irritated after hearing Shi Junhe's words, her eyes were already red with anger, and she retorted fiercely: "He is not my third uncle. Dad, do you know what he did?"
"What?" Shi Junhe frowned and his expression tightened.
Shi Qingxue glared at Shi Juncai with resentment, took another deep breath, and managed to calm down her excitement, "He didn't have grandpa's food in his hands at all, because he had already crushed grandpa's bones into ashes. Scattered it in the river!"
Shi Junhe's eyes widened in shock, "What? Are you telling the truth?"
His eyes were dazzled by the shocking news, and he took a big step back before barely regaining his footing. However, the shock on his face did not recede for a long time, as if he still could not believe what he heard.
Shi Juncai was also shocked. He subconsciously denied: "No, I didn't. My father's bones are still with me. Don't listen to other people's nonsense..."
He stammered, and when he saw Shi Qingxue's cold and piercing eyes, a deep chill ran down his spine, and he shouted feebly: "What I said is true, Shi Qingxue, don't you want your grandfather's bones back?" Is it there? If you don’t want it, I will really have it crushed to ashes and thrown into the river!"
Shi Juncai deliberately put on a ferocious expression and spoke with certainty.
However, Shi Qingxue has now understood the truth, and of course will not be deceived by Shi Juncai's sweet words.
She waited indifferently for Shi Juncai to finish speaking, and then said coldly: "Since you like breaking your bones so much, don't worry, I will repay you in the same way after you die in the future!"
Shi Juncai didn't know whether he was frightened by Shi Qingxue's eyes or shocked by her words. He opened his mouth wide and was speechless for a long time.
Qingxue had no intention of talking to him anymore. She turned to Shi Junhe and said, "Dad, the murderer of my second uncle has been captured. Send him to the official!"
The word 'sent to official' immediately stimulated Shi Juncai. He struggled fiercely again and tried to pull Shi Junhe's sleeve, "Brother, save me! You can't be so cruel and ruthless!"
However, after Shi Juncai heard what Shi Juncai did to Shi Lei's body, he was completely disheartened by this so-called younger brother. He ignored Shi Juncai's pleas and only waved his hand to Wei Zichao, indicating that he should be taken away. .
Shi Juncai's screams became smaller and smaller until they disappeared.
In the Shi family ancestral hall, the remaining people did not speak for a long time.
After a while, Shi Junhe moved his stiff body and swayed again.
"Daddy!" Shi Qingxue shouted hurriedly and reached out to help.
Shi Junhe waved her hand away and said calmly: "No need, I'm fine. You can go out first. I want to stay and talk to your grandfather."
Shi Qingxue wanted to say something more, but Shi Junhe had already turned his back.
She had no choice but to take Mo Junyang out of the ancestral hall.
When she walked outside the door, Qingxue looked back worriedly and saw Shi Junhe slowly walking to Shi Lei's memorial tablet and kneeling down heavily.
like a statue.
Qingxue watched for a long time, and finally sighed and left.
——
Shi Juncai instigated Shi Wang to kill his brother Shi Junfeng. The evidence was conclusive. Even though Mo Shujun and Mo Junhao were involved, Shi Juncai was dismissed from office and sentenced to three thousand miles of exile.
After Shi Juncai was taken into custody and before he was sentenced, Mo Shujun did not show up until the night before the execution of the sentence.
Mo Shujun came to the prison of the Criminal Department and met Shi Juncai.
In less than half a month, Shi Juncai lost a lot of weight, his face was covered with stubble, and he looked like a beggar on the roadside.
Even though Mo Shujun was angry with Shi Juncai, she couldn't help but moisten her eyes when she saw her son looking so haggard, "Cai'er."
Shi Juncai raised his eyes and glanced at Mo Shujun indifferently, then looked away and asked coldly: "What else are you doing here?"
The alienation in her tone made it seem as if Mo Shujun was worse than just a passerby.
Mo Shujun couldn't help frowning when she heard this, and said displeasedly: "What tone are you talking about? Don't forget, I am your mother!"
"Mother?" Shi Juncai repeated with a half-smile, looking at Mo Shujun, "Then you are such a good mother! It's all thanks to you that the child is what he is now!"
Mo Shujun was choked and took an unsteady step back. Fortunately, the maid Rou'er helped her behind her, so she didn't fall.
She was so angry that she was shaking all over, and couldn't help but curse: "Even now, don't you know how to repent? If you hadn't harmed Junfeng, would you have fallen to this?"
When he mentioned this, Shi Juncai became even more excited and yelled: "If I didn't strike first, could the position of Duke Shi fall to me? Obviously I am your most beloved child, why did you think of wanting him in the end? Why leave the title to a good-for-nothing guy like Shi Junfeng?"
Mo Shujun was shocked. She didn't expect that Shi Juncai was still coveting the title of Duke of Shi. She couldn't help but said angrily: "I have already prepared a beautiful future for you, which is enough for you to be rich and noble for the rest of your life. Aren't you still not satisfied?" ?”
