Chapter 276 - The Shocking News in the Ancestral Mausoleum (2/2)

Moreover, Shi Lei was decent and never took the credit for himself. Such a person had many friends.

So Shi Qingxue couldn’t figure out anyway who would hate Shi Lei so much as not to make him rest in peace after he died.

The sinner just had no conscience.

Mo Junyang thought that there were many questionable points in this case and he couldn’t understand for a moment. Meeting Shi Qingxue’s eyes with expectancy, he could do nothing but pat the back of her hand and comfort her silently.

Facing Shi Qingxue’s furious yet confused eyes, Mo Junyang pondered for a while and then decided to reveal something. “Qingxue, there are many doubtful points in this matter and it may implicate much more than what we have imagined. You want to know all the truth, right?”

Shi Qingxue thought that Mo Junyang was afraid that she would be impulsive and beat up the grave keeper recklessly like she had done just now, yet they couldn’t find the chief criminal but might happen to help the criminals cover up the truth.

She smiled in embarrassment and nodded in a hurry, admitting her guilt. “I know that I acted rashly just now, and I promise that something like this won’t happen anymore. Help me. We must find the chief criminal behind the scenes, and we can’t let him find a scapegoat randomly and get away with it.

“I will make all people involved in this matter pay a huge price.”

Qingxue stressed each word solemnly, like to make a vow.

Mo Junyang thought, “You think that it is simple, but it is probably more complicated than what you have guessed.”

However, since Shi Qingxue guessed wrong, Junyang made the best of a mistake and changed the subject. “Hmm, it’s great that you are mentally prepared. Don’t worry. Leave it to me. I will give you an explanation.”

Mo Junyang was always heartless and his selfish nature was deep in his bone.

Nevertheless, because of Shi Qingxue, he almost distorted his character and did everything as she liked and expected.

No matter how it would change his inside.

He wouldn’t even let Shi Qingxue find it.

Shi Qingxue relaxed after hearing his assurance.

At the moment, even she didn’t notice that she trusted Mo Junyang much more than a normal person trusted somebody else.

She trusted somebody else more than herself, which would put her in danger. Even as long as the other party wanted to, any action could destroy her in a moment, and she wouldn’t have a chance to find it.

Even though what happened to Shi Qingxue and Mo Junyang and their relationship were special, she trusted him too much.

Although Shi Qingxue didn’t think that it mattered, if she knew how much Mo Junyang had judged and weighed in this matter, nobody knew how horrible the consequence would be.

She didn’t think about what would happen in the future, but hearing Mo Junyang’s promise, she felt relieved.

However, before she spoke, somebody screamed beside the grave, which attracted their attention.

“What’s wrong?” Seeing that the craftsmen seemed to have a surprised expression, Shi Qingxue hurriedly walked forward.

At the moment, Shi Lei’s coffin had been carried onto the ground, and the old craftsman specially walked around it. Then he replied seriously, “My Lady, with my experience of many years, I think that Elder General’s coffin might have been opened…”

“What?” Shi Qingxue shrieked.

Generally, the grave robbers would only steal the funeral objects in the grave after opening it and the ordinary people wouldn’t open the coffin rashly. What would be inside except the corpse? It was not a grave of a member from the royal family who would hold jade in the mouth or wear jade clothes like chrysalis to protect the dead body. Nobody would seek bad luck for no reason.

However, somebody had uncovered the coffin and then closed it, and his purpose was…

Shi Qingxue could hardly imagine how Shi Lei’s skeleton in it was treated.

“What should we do now?” Shi Qingxue looked at the old craftsman nervously, at a loss.

“I am afraid that we should…” The old craftsman hesitated for a moment and then finally made a decision. “Open the coffin.”

Even Shi Qingxue couldn’t keep calm for now, and she glared at the old craftsman in surprise.

The old craftsman instantly realized that his words would make people misunderstand him, so he hurriedly explained, “I just worry that somebody did something evil to Elder General’s skeleton, and we should open the coffin to check it. Then I will be relieved.”

He said that, but no matter for what reason, if they opened the coffin, they would disturb the dead person’s peace.

At the same time, Shi Qingxue worried more about whether Shi Lei’s skeleton was still inside the coffin.
