Chapter 308 - Convict Him (1/2)

Mo Shujun glanced at Shi Juncai and then looked away subconsciously as soon as she met his begging eyes.

“Mother, you can’t watch me die and do nothing. I am your only child now. If I die, you will be really alone.” Shi Juncai was afraid that Mo Shujun wouldn’t save him, so he moved on his knees to her and grabbed her sleeve, making a pitiful plea.

However, Mo Shujun shook off Shi Juncai’s hand in the end and declared distantly, “Just deal with this case as you like. I won’t get involved.”

After saying, she led her people to leave the ancestral hall of the Shi family, no matter how pitifully Shi Juncai cried.

Shi Juncai got up in a hurry and wanted to chase Mo Shujun, while Wei Zichao stopped him at the gate.

He pushed Wei Zichao in rage, yet as the latter attacked him with internal force, he fell to sit on the floor heavily, screaming, “Ouch!”

Unfortunately, all people present didn’t have extra sympathy to him. They all looked at his feigned manner indifferently.

Shi Juncai cried for a while but then stopped resentfully after seeing that all people ignored him.

He glared at Shi Qingxue and asked shamelessly, “Don’t you want to get your grandpa’s skeleton back?”

Shi Qingxue goggled and could hardly believe that Shi Juncai still had the face to negotiate with her.

She sneered and asked emotionlessly, “What? Do you still want to make a deal?”

Shi Juncai took it for granted and nodded. “Now Fa…”

Under Shi Qingxue’s glare, he was ashamed to call “father”, yet he expressed his resentment of so many years.

Shi Juncai spat on the floor and continued, “Now Shi Lei’s skeleton is in my hands. It’s fine if you want to get it back, but you need to give me profit. Otherwise, it is improper, right?”

Under the situation, Shi Juncai didn’t try hard to conceal his feelings. In fact, he hated Shi Lei to the bone since long ago and had even doubted if Shi Lei had known earlier that this was not his biological son so he didn’t like the youngest son no matter what he did.

When Shi Lei made efforts to educate Shi Junhe to work hard, Shi Juncai still idled about at home, and even when he was unwilling to go to private school, Shi Lei gave in after saying only a few words since Mo Shujun protected the son.

He was happy in secret for Mo Shujun’s protection then, but now every time he thought of it, he believed that Shi Lei just gave him up.

If Shi Lei was as strict with him as Shi Junhe, how would he make fewer achievements than Shi Junhe?

While thinking, Shi Juncai believed that he had been treated unfairly, and everything was caused by Shi Lei who was partial, so he got more courageous when threatening Shi Qingxue.

Shi Qingxue peacefully listened to him till he finished his words. Then she pursed her lips and asked impassively, “What profit do you want?”

“Save me!” Shi Juncai shouted emotionally.

His greedy eyes fell on the token granted by Emperor in Shi Qingxue’s hand, and he added anxiously, “As long as you use the token granted by Emperor and make me get away with it, I will give Shi Lei’s skeleton back to you, okay?”

Shi Qingxue looked at Shi Juncai coldly and disillusioned the latter, stressing each word. “I have said that the token granted by Emperor is left by Grandpa to the descendants of the Shi family. Do you think that you have the qualification to escape from the punishment?”

Shi Juncai looked embarrassed but soon toughened while snorting. “I don’t care. Anyway, only if I stay alive can you have a chance to get back Shi Lei’s skeleton. If you insist on ruining me, let’s perish together, and you will never get his skeleton back.”

Shi Qingxue remained silent.

She knew that Shi Juncai’s request was shameless, yet she couldn’t bear to see that her grandpa’s skeleton was in the hands of such a contemptible man.

She had to spare the rat to save the dishes and accept Shi Juncai’s threat.

When she was in a dilemma, Mo Junyang silently took her out of the ancestral hall.

It turned out that Wei Ziye was waiting at the gate. Seeing Shi Qingxue, he didn’t dare to delay but told the two masters about the message that he had just got.

Shi Qingxue was confused in the beginning. While listening, she furrowed her brows more tightly and then got furious in the end.

“Bastard!”

Shi Qingxue almost went crazy and returned to the ancestral hall with her red eyes.

Under all people’s astonished eyes in the room, she dragged Shi Juncai up and cursed in a rage, “Asshole, I will kill you!”

After speaking, she punched Shi Juncai’s face and beat him till he fell on the floor.

It was Shi Qingxue’s first time to be so angry. Everybody around was dumbfounded, and even Mo Junyang who followed her in was stunned, too.

After a while, seeing that Shi Qingxue still planned to rush to beat Shi Juncai again seemingly, Mo Junyang walked forward and hugged her from behind. He grabbed her clenched fist, comforting her softly. “Stop…Even if you want to beat him, don’t use your fist. What if you are injured?”

When Mo Junyang started to speak, Shi Junhe was about to nod in approval, but after he heard the young man’s last words, he put on a long face at once.

Shi Junhe rebuked with a frown, “Qingxue, don’t mess around. He is your uncle anyway. Don’t go too far.”

Even though he said that, he didn’t plan to apologize for Shi Qingxue’s punch.
