Chapter 307 - Admit the Past Evil Deeds (1/2)

Shi Juncai lowered his head with a pale face and sat on the floor on his knees, trembling.

When he raised his head again, he had tears covering his face, crying, “I admit that I stole Father’s skeleton, but…I did that for Mother!”

After shouting, he suddenly looked at Mo Shujun and begged, “Mother, I did that because you love Father deeply and want to be buried with him. In order to satisfy you, I considered stealing his skeleton and giving it to you.”

Shi Juncai did give the skeleton to Mo Shujun, and she couldn’t remain unmoved, although it was missing later.

Shi Qingxue wasn’t convinced but asked coldly, “If you just wanted to steal Grandpa’s skeleton, why did you ruin his grave and even do something so evil to it?”

It might be excusable to steal the skeleton, yet he couldn’t go unpunished after ruining the grave.

Shi Juncai’s face stiffened, and after a long while, he tried to explain, “I was afraid that others would suspect it then, so I had to ruin the grave and pretend that it was done by outsiders, but I really didn’t disrespect Father in my heart.

“If you are still unsatisfied, I can pay and have his grave restored.”

“Father?” Shi Qingxue repeated meaningfully.

Then under Shi Juncai’s surprised eyes, she added coldly, “You called him father for so many years. Don’t you feel guilty?”

After she asked such a question, even Mo Shujun’s face looked terrible, not to mention that Shi Juncai turned pale.

Mo Shujun stared at Shi Qingxue and asked coldly, “What do you mean by saying that?”

Shi Qingxue shrugged and replied unhurriedly, “Literally.”

She gazed at Mo Shujun. “Grandma, I still call you grandma now, but please examine your own conscience. Do you really qualify to be my grandma?”

“You!”

Mo Shujun turned red in anger and pointed to Shi Qingxue, cursing, “You cast wild aspersions at me. If you dare to talk nonsense again and slander me recklessly, don’t blame me when I turn against you.”

Shi Qingxue knew that these people wouldn’t give up till the end, so she didn’t want to argue with them. She just told them the truth coldly. “Do you think that the skeleton Shi Juncai gave you is really Grandpa’s?”

Mo Shujun was stunned and remained silent.

She glanced at Shi Juncai, and he shouted emotionally at once, “Mother, don’t believe her words. She just casts a bone between us.”

Shi Qingxue snorted and retorted with disdain, “Cast a bone between you? I disdain to do something so dirty. Grandma, just think about it. Since he was so heartless to do something evil to Grandpa’s grave, he must hate Grandpa to the bone. Do you think that he would really give the skeleton to you in one piece instead of seizing the chance to get back at him?”

“You are just bullshitting! I didn’t!” Shi Juncai resorted to sophistry in a loud voice and continued anxiously, “What you said is just your conjecture. Without evidence, I won’t let you slander me!”

“Slander?” Shi Qingxue seemed to have heard something laughable and curled her lips coldly.

“Okay. If you need evidence, I will give you.” She wiped the inexistent dust on her sleeve calmly and then looked at Mo Shujun who was in a daze.

Shi Qingxue asked, “The skeleton Shi Juncai gave you has been put in your dark room for a period, so you must be familiar with it, right?”

Mo Shujun was still confused and nodded in a trance.

“Do you still remember that Grandpa was once injured seriously on the battlefield when he was young and the bone in his right leg was fractured? He recovered after recuperating for a long time, yet his right knee would hurt in winter when it was cold.”

Mo Shujun still nodded, with doubts in her blank eyes.

“Grandma, please think about it with common sense. Grandpa was wounded so severely. Even though his body turned to white bone, can it be intact? And what does the right knee of the skeleton on the bed in your dark room look like?”

Shi Qingxue was good at giving methodical and patient guidance and spoke out the fact step by step.

In fact, only after Shi Junhe “stole” the skeleton did she find that it must not be Shi Lei’s skeleton. Later, she knew the truth gradually after Mo Junyang told her something.

In the beginning, Mo Shujun was absent-minded, but when she remembered something, her eyes suddenly got ferocious and she stared at Shi Juncai, questioning in a cold voice, “Juncai, what on earth happened?”

“Mother, it is not true. Shi Qingxue just talks nonsense. Don’t listen to her.” Shi Juncai still argued with excuses, yet his voice became lower and lower and disappeared in the end under Mo Shujun’s cold eyes.

Shi Qingxue finally said indifferently, “If not to get back Grandpa’s skeleton, I won’t reveal the dirty things you did in front of his memorial tablet.”

She stared at Shi Juncai and stressed each word. “Shi Juncai, I don’t care that you still have the family name Shi, and I don’t want to bother about the fact that you ruined our family’s fame, but please give my grandpa’s skeleton back. Otherwise, don’t blame me when I turn against you!”

Under Shi Qingxue’s stare, Shi Juncai was nervous and cowered yet soon suddenly understood that she wanted to ask him for something.

At this thought, Shi Juncai got excited and his face twisted because of the joy that he couldn’t conceal.

He trembled excitedly again. “Do you want to get back Father’s skeleton?”
