Chapter 293 - Gain the Initiative and Wait for You to Fall into a Trap (1/2)

Shi Qingxue looked up at Mo Junyang, to see that the man was looking at her.

His eyes were as deep as the sea and seemed to absorb her.

“Jun, Junyang!” Shi Qingxue blushed again and her brain seemed to be blank. She just stuttered and called Mo Junyang’s name.

Mo Junyang smiled at her warmly, with endless spirits seemingly. Under his gaze, Qingxue looked around randomly with shyness.

Fortunately, before the ambiguous atmosphere lasted long, Mo Junyang stated firmly, “That’s it.”

“Ah?” Shi Qingxue still thought about the last subject and suddenly heard Mo Junyang’s words, so she was surprised.

What?

However, Mo Junyang didn’t plan to explain to her and rubbed her soft hair again, saying with a smile, “Just let me handle everything.”

Shi Qingxue was more confused, yet she knew well about Mo Junyang. Since he had made a decision, although she might change his mind, she was willing to follow him somehow.

Hmm, anyway, she had said what she should say, and it was fine as there was no misunderstanding.

Shi Qingxue secretly pondered over what she had said just now. Even though she was shy, she was satisfied with her honesty.

She gave herself a thumbs-up sign in secret and then let it pass easily, but unexpectedly, only a short while was enough for Mo Junyang to make things more serious.

That day, as they broke up the Shi family, the second master Shi Junfeng and the third master Shi Juncai led their families and moved out of Duke Shi’s mansion.

Although Mo Shujun loved her youngest son, with the pride as a princess royal, she was unwilling to live in a small house which was unknown.

So she was still left in the Shou’an Hall.

At night, there was a theft case in Duke Shi’s mansion, and it was said that it was done by a strange thief Ling Yang, who walked around in the mansion and left a conspicuous sign, but nobody said what had been stolen.

All people who knew the truth remained mute as if their mouths were sealed.

Nevertheless, early in the morning next day, Mo Shujun couldn’t control herself and came to the East House to see Shi Junhe.

“What do you mean?”

Hearing Mo Shujun’s aggressive question, Shi Junhe played dumb. “Mother, what are you talking about?”

Mo Shujun pursed her lips and sneered. “A straightforward person does not resort to insinuations. I know that it’s your follower who did that last night. Give your father’s skeleton back to me.”

Shi Junhe responded unhurriedly, “When Father was alive, he said that he hoped you would be buried in the royal mausoleum after death, Mother. Why do you insist on keeping his skeleton with you? It’s unreasonable, and it makes him unable to rest in peace even after death.”

Mo Shujun once said that to teach Shi Junhe a lesson and wanted to cheat him and have Shi Lei buried with a fake body.

However, it became a reason for Shi Junhe to retort her.

Mo Shujun was exasperated, but it was different from before. She had Shi Lei’s skeleton in hands yesterday, so even if Shi Junhe had objections, he had to hold back.

Nevertheless, now she had nothing, and she had to face Shi Junhe’s suppression, so she was furious.

After a pause, she put on a straight face and stated like a rascal, “I don’t care. I am your mother, your father’s official wife. Can’t I even be buried with him?”

Shi Junhe’s eyes darkened and he couldn’t help but ask in reply in a low voice, “Mother? Official wife? Are you really my mother and his official wife?”

The past that she had tried hard to hide was mentioned all of a sudden, so she was petrified and then all her body was stiff. When she realized that there was another person around, she managed with effort to calm down, yet her face still looked pale.

She stared at Shi Junhe and pretended to be calm, asking, “What nonsense are you talking about? Did somebody who is brainless tell you something in secret?”

Mo Shujun subconsciously absolved herself from responsibility and refused to admit it, but looking at Shi Junhe’s unmoved face, she felt nervous and roughly understood that perhaps she couldn’t fool him with only a few words this time.

She calmed down and then looked serious. Before Shi Junhe spoke, she expressed forcefully, “I have raised you for so many years just to let you listen to outsiders who make mischief and ignore the kinship with your mother? Shi Junhe, don’t go too far.

“If you really don’t care about our kinship, don’t blame me if I turn against you. I want to see how the country will treat an ungrateful son who abandons his mother.”

Before Shi Junhe said something, Mo Shujun rebuked him indiscriminately.

He didn’t get angry or panic.

His face was emotionless like a dead person’s.

He looked at Mo Shujun and asked casually, “Mother and son? Are you sure? Can I ask you? Do you still remember the date, the tenth day of the first lunar month in the Year of Yihai?”

Panic flashed in Mo Shujun’s eyes, and she didn’t even dare to meet Shi Junhe’s eyes. She just gritted her teeth and replied, “I don’t know what you are talking about. I just know that you are my son that I have brought up. If you dare to be disobedient to me, you just disrespect me, and I can make you lose all standing and reputation.”

When she said the words “lose all standing and reputation” at will, she seemed to joke and didn’t show mercy. How would a mother who really loved her child say and do that?

In fact, in the past years, Mo Shujun showed it obviously, especially after Shi Lei died. If Shi Junhe hadn’t gained power and the position as the family master, he would have lived a miserable life.
