Chapter 305 - The Complete Reversal (2/2)

All people focused their eyes on the gate again and were curious about who he would bring this time.

Shi Qingxue blinked her big eyes and didn’t look at the gate but stared at Mo Junyang.

She blinked and seemed to ask, “Is there really no problem?”

Mo Junyang gave her a smile to comfort her. “Yes. Trust me.”

Shi Qingxue instantly showed a sweet smile. “Okay.”

They exchanged glances and the tense atmosphere was not existent anymore.

“Ahem!” Shi Junhe coughed twice in a low voice to give a hint that they should restrain themselves.

Qingxue immediately stuck out her tongue and made a face. Then she hid herself behind and tried not to be so conspicuous.

Of course, the others paid attention to the case and didn’t notice her actions.

Wei Ziye brought some people soon.

They were several burly men with their hands tied behind their backs. All of their faces were black and blue, and they were in low spirits. Obviously, somebody had taught them a lesson earlier.

After these men were pushed into the ancestral hall and saw Shi Juncai, they knelt down at once and kowtowed to him to ask for help. “My Lord, please save me. Save me.”

They spoke in unison and admitted that they worked for Shi Juncai.

Shi Junhe asked why they had been captured. They answered that they were captured by Wei Zichao when they were about to take actions against Shi Wang’s family.

So the truth had been brought into daylight. Shi Juncai captured Shi Wang’s family and threatened him, forcing him to poison Shi Junfeng and frame Shi Junhe after that.

As the witnesses and evidence were on the spot, Shi Juncai couldn’t justify himself no matter what he said, so he sat on the floor in frustration.

After knowing the fact, Mo Shujun trembled all over her body in anger and couldn’t control herself but walked forward and slapped Shi Juncai hard.

“Bastard!”

Mo Shujun had never said anything so harsh to her youngest son, not to mention beating him.

However, she was really furious this time. After cursing and beating him, she still couldn’t vent her anger, so she picked up the teacup on the table and threw it to Shi Juncai.

Seeing that it was exposed, Shi Juncai didn’t dare to dodge but let Mo Shujun lose temper. He kowtowed to her repeatedly and admitted his fault, begging, “Mother! Mother, I was just brainless for a moment. I was jealous as you treated Junfeng so well, so I lost my mind and made a big mistake.

“Mother, please forgive me as I am your biological son. I promise that I will never do something so evil again. I beg you!”

Shi Juncai made a pitiful plea in tears and cried miserably.

Even though Mo Shujun was hard-hearted, she couldn’t bear to stand by and do nothing to help her biological son.

There was agony in her eyes. At last, she closed her eyes and concealed it. She shook off Shi Juncai’s hand and asked coldly, “You didn’t harm me. Why do you ask me for mercy?”

Shi Juncai was stunned for a moment yet soon understood what Mo Shujun meant.

With a sad face, he knelt to Shi Junhe again and begged, “Big Brother, I was wrong. It’s my fault. I am narrow-minded and jealous of you and Junfeng, so I figured out such a bad idea. However, please save me for the sake of our brotherhood anyway.

“I don’t want to die, really!”

Shi Junhe looked cold and listened to Shi Juncai’s crying bitterly and trying to start with a clean slate as he thought, while he sneered in secret. Shi Juncai said that he didn’t want to die, but Shi Junfeng who had died wanted to die?

After the truth was found, Shi Juncai said tearfully that he knew that he was wrong and begged for another chance, yet Shi Junfeng would never come back.

Shi Junhe realized this point and just felt heartbroken. He looked colder and concealed his emotions.

After Shi Juncai cried, Shi Junhe turned to Zheng Liangcai who curled up like a tortoise after the complete reversal, saying indifferently, “Lord Zheng, hope that you can punish this murderer according to the law as he killed my younger brother Junfeng.”

“Of course. Of course!” Zheng Liangcai answered repeatedly yet couldn’t help peeping at Shi Juncai.

“As for Juncai, I have some domestic affairs to deal with. Lord Zheng, please go back first. I will take him to the Capital Bureau and make everything clear later.”

Shi Junhe made arrangements unhurriedly, and the others thought that he got soft-hearted to Shi Juncai and wanted to minimize the problem.

Zheng Liangcai didn’t want to have a conflict with Mo Shujun, so it was all that he could wish for, and he agreed, telling the runners to escort Shi Wang and leave Duke Shi’s mansion.

Since the truth was exposed, Zhang Qiuyan was petrified. Till she heard that Shi Junhe would bail Shi Juncai, she protested.

“Big Brother, Juncai is your younger brother, but my husband is not? Are you going to see my husband die with a grievance and do nothing?”

Shi Juncai was happy secretly for Shi Junhe’s “protection”. Hearing Zhang Qiuyan’s shout, he rushed to cover her mouth in a rage and cursed, “You are a woman. Do you qualify to make comments when men are talking? Get out of here now. Otherwise, I will kill you.”

He was aggressive and conceited as always.
