Chapter 277 - Forestall Denouncement (1/2)

Shi Qingxue could hardly conceal her panic and turned to Mo Junyang for help.

Mo Junyang looked at her and shook his head cautiously, saying in a cold voice, “The coffin can’t be opened for now.”

Shi Qingxue didn’t want to open the coffin, but hearing Mo Junyang with no scruple say such words respectful to the dead person, she didn’t understand.

She raised her head and glanced at Mo Junyang in surprise. Then she pursed her lips, asking, “Why?”

Mo Junyang kept silent for a while yet soon answered calmly, “You don’t qualify to.”

Shi Qingxue was stunned. Before she reacted, a roar was heard. “Shi Qingxue, what the hell are you doing?”

Qingxue turned her head in the direction of the roar, to see that Mo Shujun led the second master’s and third master’s families to rush over and stopped not far away from her. Mo Shujun glared at her furiously and seemed to skin her alive.

On the occasion, they found the witnesses and evidence.

“Shi Qingxue, look. What have you done?” Mo Shujun trembled out of anger and shook off the servants’ hands which supported her. Then she walked over quickly and raised her hand, trying to slap Shi Qingxue in the face.

However, with Mo Junyang around, Mo Shujun couldn’t succeed.

The man was like a hard rock. Before Shi Qingxue reacted, he grabbed Mo Shujun’s wrist and then stood in front of Qingxue.

Perhaps for the first time, Mo Shujun saw that somebody dared to stop her and even resist her openly and brazenly. And she didn’t react until a moment later.

She opened her eyes wide in a fury. “Your Excellency, I teach my granddaughter a lesson. I am afraid that you don’t qualify to get involved.”

In Mo Shujun’s opinion, she was an honorable princess royal and an elder.

Even if she was wrong, when she wanted to beat Shi Qingxue, the girl had to endure it. Moreover, under the situation, she had enough reasons to take actions.

Even Mo Junyang didn’t qualify to stop her.

However, she didn’t expect that Mo Junyang was much more reckless than she imagined. As long as Shi Qingxue was involved, he ignored any reasons and rules.

He glanced at Mo Shujun coldly and responded in a decisive voice with no emotion, “You can’t hurt her.”

Mo Shujun was speechless.

The princess royal took a deep breath and finally managed with effort to suppress her blood pressure which almost rose to her brain. She didn’t beat the girl as she couldn’t. Then she stepped backward and stared at Shi Qingxue coldly. “If you don’t give me an explanation today, I won’t let you go.”

Shi Qingxue’s face returned calm, and she finally understood what Mo Junyang meant by saying that the coffin couldn’t be opened.

Even before she had the coffin opened, Mo Shujun assumed that everything was done by her, as if she was an unforgivable bastard as she even ruined her grandpa’s grave

If Mo Shujun told the truth and Shi Qingxue was caught when she was doing something, maybe she would be scared, but now, she was even calmer than before.

She looked at Mo Shujun and asked in reply, “I made a last-minute decision to pay respects to Grandpa at his grave today and came from King Rui’s mansion. Why did you ‘happen to’ visit him, too, Grandma?”

Mo Shujun was unable to reply.

The princess royal didn’t expect that Shi Qingxue would ask her calmly when the witness and evidence against her were found and the question was so sharp that she couldn’t refuse to answer.

“I heard that somebody was ruining the ancestral mausoleum, so I led them to rush over to have a check. I never expect that it would be you, bastard!” Mo Shujun pretended to be calm and explained. Then her expression changed and she complained harshly, “Your grandpa treated you well, but you have no conscience and even, even…”

Mo Shujun was shaky out of anger and about to faint. Shi Juncai swiftly supported her and shouted anxiously, “Mother, are you okay?”

Seeing that Mo Shujun was so angry that she was almost out of breath, Shi Juncai hurriedly asked Doctor Qin to check on her.

Shi Juncai pointed at Shi Qingxue and planned to curse her.

However, Shi Qingxue asked casually before he spoke, “Since all of you came here as soon as you got the message, why is my father absent? If I guess right, Father is at home as he is not on shift today, but you should report for duty in the government, Uncle.”

Shi Juncai was in panic as somebody suddenly mentioned the doubtful point, and his face was distorted, weird and ferocious, as he was angry and terrified.

“I…I happened to go back home and then heard a grave keeper report to Mother about your evildoing, so I came here in a hurry with her. Can’t I come?” Shi Juncai straightened his back as if in this way it could make him look more confident.

Nevertheless, because of his pose, he was like a shrimp with soft feet whose back was straightened.

He imitated in a wrong way and became weird.

Shi Qingxue ignored Shi Juncai’s howl and continued to question, “So the grave keeper saw that I did something evil? Otherwise, how can you insist that it is me who ruined Grandpa’s grave, not anybody else?”

Shi Juncai didn’t notice that he was misled by Shi Qingxue, but he was “reminded” by her.

If the grave keeper didn’t see that Shi Qingxue did something evil, even when she was on the spot, nobody would believe that she would ruin her grandpa’s grave for no reason.

Otherwise, all people would believe that Shi Qingxue just happened to be at the crime scene as they knew that she was favored by Shi Lei and would never hate him and ruin his grave.

Shi Juncai had many thoughts in mind and didn’t talk with Mo Shujun but replied by his own decision, “Of course, that grave keeper said so.”

“Oh?” Shi Qingxue answered lazily and asked with a smile, “Uncle, can you let me see the so-called grave keeper?”

Shi Juncai thought that Qingxue wanted to confront the grave keeper, so he raised his chin arrogantly at once and snorted. “You don’t need to see him. If you have something to say, just tell the government. Rest assured. The people in the government would investigate this case clearly and then we will know who is right.”
