Chapter 274 - Be Buried in the Same Grave after Death (2/2)

After Mo Junyang heard that, the fierce light in his eyes flashed, and he smiled knowingly.

However, he didn’t explain to Shi Qingxue about his reaction but changed the subject. “We have arrived. Let’s get out to have a look.”

There was a large area in the ancestral mausoleum of the Shi family, and carriages and horses were not allowed to enter.

As soon as they got to the mud fence, Shi Qingxue and Mo Junyang got out of the carriage and walked.

Shi Lei’s grave was in the middle of the area. After walking for about thirty minutes, they finally reached the destination.

Shi Lei’s grave should be in perfect order and cleaned by the grave keepers every day, yet it was ruined and had changed beyond recognition.

There were fallen leaves and loess around the grave, which was desolate and cheerless.

What was more unacceptable, the tombstone was pushed down and broken into two parts, lying on the ground, while the grave mound behind it was dug up, revealing a corner of the coffin which was buried deeply in the soil.

Shi Qingxue was petrified by the messy scene which was ruined wantonly. After a long time, she called in a daze, “Grandpa!”

As soon as she made the sound, tears fell from her eyes.

Why did it happen?

Shi Qingxue had this question flashing in her brain repeatedly, and she was stiff, unable to move a bit.

Mo Junyang was shocked, too. He had never expected that Elder Duke Shi’s grave would be destroyed, but soon he calmed down and supported Shi Qingxue, asking in a soft voice, “Qingxue, are you okay?”

Qingxue suddenly came back to earth and turned to Mo Junyang, exploding.

She grabbed his clothes and yelled at him emotionally, “Why did it happen? Who did it? I won’t let him go! I will surely make him pay for it.”

When she was speaking, more tears fell. She was so fragile, greatly different from the girl who yelled emotionally. Looking at her, Mo Junyang felt heartbroken.

He hurriedly held her in his arms and comforted her. “Don’t be afraid. I will help you.”

Mo Junyang was a doer. As soon as he finished his words, he winked at Wei Zichao, who directly lifted the grave keeper with one hand and dragged him over.

The grave keeper’s family name was Wang, and he was once a servant in the Shi family. After Elder Duke Shi passed away, Mo Shujun chose him and told him to guard the grave in the ancestral mausoleum. He mainly cleaned Shi Lei’s grave daily apart from preventing the grave robbers from stealing something.

Unexpectedly, this grave keeper Wang didn’t clean Shi Lei’s grave from time to time as requested but dared to be forgetful of his duties and let the grave be destroyed miserably.

As soon as she saw this quivering middle-aged man, Shi Qingxue got furious.

She strode forward and grabbed the grave keeper from Wei Zichao’s hand, questioning angrily, “What on earth happened? Why did Grandpa’s grave become like this? Tell me!”

The grave keeper trembled in fear and didn’t dare to look at Shi Qingxue’s face which seemed to eat him alive. He stuttered to beg for mercy. “My Lady, please spare my life. I, I…”

He wanted to defend himself, while the fact was before their eyes. He had never expected that Shi Qingxue would come all of a sudden, so he was not prepared and couldn’t speak a word.

Shi Qingxue was so mad that she threw him to the ground and impulsively took out a long knife from Wei Zichao’s waist. She raised it high and prepared to cut the grave keeper’s head.

Wei Zichao remained unmoved and didn’t plan to stop her.

Anyway, no matter what Shi Qingxue did on impulse, right or wrong, good or bad, Mo Junyang would take the responsibility. And the guards like him didn’t need to worry. They just had to satisfy Shi Qingxue at any time.

This grave keeper who fell asleep at the switch should be killed even in an ordinary family.

Shi Qingxue could just kill him if she wanted to.

When the long knife was almost less than one meter away from the grave keeper’s head and the man closed his eyes, awaiting his doom, everything stopped suddenly.

It turned out that Mo Junyang grabbed Shi Qingxue’s hand and stopped her.

Shi Qingxue abruptly turned to Mo Junyang, with bright tears in her eyes and on her face. She seemed to question him why he prevented her from killing this asshole.

Mo Junyang patted the back of Qingxue’s hand and comforted her quietly. At the same time, he still grasped her hand and resolutely stopped her.

Because Shi Qingxue trusted him beyond description, she controlled herself and didn’t move, even though she was so angry.

The grave keeper had thought that he could hardly escape from the disaster this time, but at the crucial moment, he was saved unexpectedly.

When he looked at Mo Junyang, he seemed to see God and a savior from heaven.

He staggered to get up and knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Mo Junyang to thank him. “Thanks for sparing my lowly life, Master. Thanks, Master…”

As a matter of fact, the grave keeper didn’t know Mo Junyang, yet anybody who could save him was his master. He kowtowed crazily and seemed to take Mo Junyang as his second parent.

In the beginning, Mo Junyang ignored the grave keeper. Till Shi Qingxue calmed down, his head was bleeding as he had kowtowed for so many times.

Mo Junyang finally lowered his head and gave the grave keeper a cold glance. Then he asked indifferently, “Who told you to dig up Elder Duke Shi’s grave and destroy his tombstone?”

The grave keeper’s grateful expression was frozen on his face. After realizing what Mo Junyang meant, he looked awkward and explained away in a hurry. “No, I didn’t. The grave was not…”

He couldn’t form a full sentence and just told a very poor lie which revealed the truth.

Shi Qingxue was stunned by Mo Junyang’s shocking words at first. Then she gazed at the grave keeper all of a sudden. After seeing his reactions, she understood everything immediately.

Her flame of anger was overwhelming, and she threw away the long knife. Then she grabbed the grave keeper’s collar and suddenly punched his face, cursing resentfully, “Asshole! Bastard! Give my grandpa back to me!”

The grave keeper was beaten and then fell on the ground, while Shi Qingxue still didn’t let him go. She kicked him and questioned, “Tell me. Who on earth told you to do that?”
