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

Even though Shi Junhe was the family master, most of the time, he had to “love his brothers” and give up the profit that belonged to him to his brothers.

Shi Junhe was broad-minded and didn’t care, and he was on the battlefield all year round, so when the three brothers lived together, their families could be harmonious.

Shi Junhe always thought that Mo Shujun was just partial but still cared about her eldest son, yet in fact, he just thought too much and his preconceived idea kept a strong hold from the beginning.

Otherwise, if an onlooker knew many things in their family, perhaps he could guess long ago that this eldest son was not Mo Shujun’s biological son.

Shi Junhe concealed the complex thoughts in mind and looked at Mo Shujun, asking solemnly, “What makes you think that I disrespect you? And you need to make me lose all standing and reputation?”

“You don’t want to take me as your mother. Don’t you disrespect me?” Mo Shujun snorted and didn’t give Shi Junhe a chance to say something else.

Meanwhile, Shi Junhe just smiled and responded calmly, “I don’t forget that you have raised me and I owe you a debt of gratitude.”

Mo Shujun knew that Shi Junhe had known she was not his biological mother, and what happened more than forty years ago couldn’t be hidden probably.

However, she didn’t care. She wouldn’t allow this thing to be revealed, yet it didn’t matter if Shi Junhe knew it. As long as there was no evidence, what could he do to her?

Moreover, when Mo Shujun thought that Shi Junhe was depressed as he had to be respectful to her even though he knew that she was not his biological mother and he couldn’t vent it, she felt happy.

She thought, “You Si, you have stolen Shi Lei’s heart for so many years, yet in the end, both your husband and your son are mine.

“Even though they are unwilling, they are mine.”

Mo Shujun looked at Shi Junhe and seemed to see a face which was also helpless in front of her more than forty years ago. She thought she could finally win and demanded complacently, “Since you take me as your mother, just give your father’s skeleton to me.”

In fact, Shi Juncai’s career as an official developed along the right lines gradually, and it was not that Mo Shujun had to depend on this adoptive son. After she made use of him, she should kick him out as soon as possible.

As long as Shi Junhe gave Shi Lei’s skeleton to her, Mo Shujun didn’t mind making a clean break with him.

Of course, when she needed his help, she was still his mother, and he had to listen to her. Otherwise, he just disrespected her.

Mo Shujun had wishful thinking, but unexpectedly, Shi Junhe’s expression changed all of a sudden, and he asked in panic, “Wasn’t Father’s skeleton still in your dark room and kept by you yesterday? Why do you ask me for his skeleton now?”

“You!” Mo Shujun’s eyes were ferocious and she was about to lose temper, yet she saw that Shi Junhe looked innocent and didn’t know anything seemingly.

She understood everything immediately.

A thief came to the mansion yesterday. Even if something was missing, it was done by the strange thief Ling Yang. Shi Junhe knew nothing.

He knew nothing and he was a victim.

Before Mo Shujun exploded, Shi Junhe expressed worriedly, “A thief dared to break into my mansion at night and steal Father’s skeleton. Such a lawless behavior can’t be indulged.

“I am going to report to the government and ask Lord Zheng to capture the strange thief Ling Yang.”

Mo Shujun was speechless.

Both of them knew who had taken Shi Lei’s skeleton away, but as Shi Junhe said that, it was the fault of the strange thief Ling Yang, and nobody knew if he was existent.

It was more annoying that Shi Junhe wanted to report to the government.

Earlier, Shi Lei’s grave had been ruined and his skeleton had been stolen, and the news had spread everywhere in the capital city. Now the information that Shi Lei’s skeleton was stolen from a dark room in the Shou’an Hall would be revealed.

Anybody knew who had stolen the skeleton the other day as long as they used their brains.

Although Mo Shujun showed that she was bold with sufficient reasons in front of Shi Junhe, once the news spread, it must be a scandal.

And after the scandal was revealed, she might not get Shi Lei’s skeleton back.

At this thought, Mo Shujun was angry and anxious. She finally couldn’t control herself and asked, “What on earth do you want?”

Shi Junhe still looked innocent. “What do you mean?”

“Don’t beat around the bush. Since you know who gave birth to you, I don’t care if you call me mother. I just ask you a question. What should I do before you give your father’s skeleton back to me?” Mo Shujun straightened her back and looked stiff, refusing to show the white feather in front of her “enemy”.

Even if she had reached a dead end and could do nothing as Mo Junyang expected.

Shi Junhe suddenly felt sad for this old woman with a wrinkled face in front of him. She loved a man crazily who had a loved wife and would never love her, and then she used a despicable and vicious method to marry this man. At last, it caused a tragedy for three people.

You Si and Shi Lei had passed away long ago, and only Mo Shujun was left staying in the huge Duke Shi’s mansion. At last, she was obsessive about Shi Lei’s skeleton.

She was hateful and pitiful. It was so sad.

However, Shi Junhe didn’t show sympathy for Mo Shujun. At the thought of that woman who was really innocent, he felt sad as he didn’t even have a chance to call her mother.

The mother and son were mentally connected. Even though he had never seen You Si, he couldn’t help but feel warm with a sense of loss when he thought of her.

Shi Junhe concealed his frail emotion and looked at Mo Shujun, demanding calmly, “Please give my mother’s cremation urn to me.”
