Shi Qingxue could hardly conceal her panic and turned to Mo Junyang for help.

Mo Junyang looked at her and shook his head cautiously, saying in a cold voice, “The coffin can’t be opened for now.”

Shi Qingxue didn’t want to open the coffin, but hearing Mo Junyang with no scruple say such words respectful to the dead person, she didn’t understand.

She raised her head and glanced at Mo Junyang in surprise. Then she pursed her lips, asking, “Why?”

Mo Junyang kept silent for a while yet soon answered calmly, “You don’t qualify to.”

Shi Qingxue was stunned. Before she reacted, a roar was heard. “Shi Qingxue, what the hell are you doing?”

Qingxue turned her head in the direction of the roar, to see that Mo Shujun led the second master’s and third master’s families to rush over and stopped not far away from her. Mo Shujun glared at her furiously and seemed to skin her alive.

On the occasion, they found the witnesses and evidence.

“Shi Qingxue, look. What have you done?” Mo Shujun trembled out of anger and shook off the servants’ hands which supported her. Then she walked over quickly and raised her hand, trying to slap Shi Qingxue in the face.

However, with Mo Junyang around, Mo Shujun couldn’t succeed.

The man was like a hard rock. Before Shi Qingxue reacted, he grabbed Mo Shujun’s wrist and then stood in front of Qingxue.

Perhaps for the first time, Mo Shujun saw that somebody dared to stop her and even resist her openly and brazenly. And she didn’t react until a moment later.

She opened her eyes wide in a fury. “Your Excellency, I teach my granddaughter a lesson. I am afraid that you don’t qualify to get involved.”

In Mo Shujun’s opinion, she was an honorable princess royal and an elder.

Even if she was wrong, when she wanted to beat Shi Qingxue, the girl had to endure it. Moreover, under the situation, she had enough reasons to take actions.

Even Mo Junyang didn’t qualify to stop her.

However, she didn’t expect that Mo Junyang was much more reckless than she imagined. As long as Shi Qingxue was involved, he ignored any reasons and rules.

He glanced at Mo Shujun coldly and responded in a decisive voice with no emotion, “You can’t hurt her.”

Mo Shujun was speechless.

The princess royal took a deep breath and finally managed with effort to suppress her blood pressure which almost rose to her brain. She didn’t beat the girl as she couldn’t. Then she stepped backward and stared at Shi Qingxue coldly. “If you don’t give me an explanation today, I won’t let you go.”

Shi Qingxue’s face returned calm, and she finally understood what Mo Junyang meant by saying that the coffin couldn’t be opened.

Even before she had the coffin opened, Mo Shujun assumed that everything was done by her, as if she was an unforgivable bastard as she even ruined her grandpa’s grave

If Mo Shujun told the truth and Shi Qingxue was caught when she was doing something, maybe she would be scared, but now, she was even calmer than before.

She looked at Mo Shujun and asked in reply, “I made a last-minute decision to pay respects to Grandpa at his grave today and came from King Rui’s mansion. Why did you ‘happen to’ visit him, too, Grandma?”

Mo Shujun was unable to reply.

The princess royal didn’t expect that Shi Qingxue would ask her calmly when the witness and evidence against her were found and the question was so sharp that she couldn’t refuse to answer.

“I heard that somebody was ruining the ancestral mausoleum, so I led them to rush over to have a check. I never expect that it would be you, bastard!” Mo Shujun pretended to be calm and explained. Then her expression changed and she complained harshly, “Your grandpa treated you well, but you have no conscience and even, even…”

Mo Shujun was shaky out of anger and about to faint. Shi Juncai swiftly supported her and shouted anxiously, “Mother, are you okay?”

Seeing that Mo Shujun was so angry that she was almost out of breath, Shi Juncai hurriedly asked Doctor Qin to check on her.

Shi Juncai pointed at Shi Qingxue and planned to curse her.

However, Shi Qingxue asked casually before he spoke, “Since all of you came here as soon as you got the message, why is my father absent? If I guess right, Father is at home as he is not on shift today, but you should report for duty in the government, Uncle.”

Shi Juncai was in panic as somebody suddenly mentioned the doubtful point, and his face was distorted, weird and ferocious, as he was angry and terrified.

“I…I happened to go back home and then heard a grave keeper report to Mother about your evildoing, so I came here in a hurry with her. Can’t I come?” Shi Juncai straightened his back as if in this way it could make him look more confident.

Nevertheless, because of his pose, he was like a shrimp with soft feet whose back was straightened.

He imitated in a wrong way and became weird.

Shi Qingxue ignored Shi Juncai’s howl and continued to question, “So the grave keeper saw that I did something evil? Otherwise, how can you insist that it is me who ruined Grandpa’s grave, not anybody else?”

Shi Juncai didn’t notice that he was misled by Shi Qingxue, but he was “reminded” by her.

If the grave keeper didn’t see that Shi Qingxue did something evil, even when she was on the spot, nobody would believe that she would ruin her grandpa’s grave for no reason.

Otherwise, all people would believe that Shi Qingxue just happened to be at the crime scene as they knew that she was favored by Shi Lei and would never hate him and ruin his grave.

Shi Juncai had many thoughts in mind and didn’t talk with Mo Shujun but replied by his own decision, “Of course, that grave keeper said so.”

“Oh?” Shi Qingxue answered lazily and asked with a smile, “Uncle, can you let me see the so-called grave keeper?”

Shi Juncai thought that Qingxue wanted to confront the grave keeper, so he raised his chin arrogantly at once and snorted. “You don’t need to see him. If you have something to say, just tell the government. Rest assured. The people in the government would investigate this case clearly and then we will know who is right.”

He said that as if to show mercy to her.

However, before Shi Juncai complacently told the servants to capture Shi Qingxue and send her to the government, he heard a low roar. “I’ll see who dares to send my daughter to the government.”

The speaker was certainly Shi Junhe who came later.

As soon as Duke Shi showed up and just indifferently glanced at Shi Juncai, without even threatening him, Shi Juncai was frustrated like a mouse seeing a cat.

He stuttered, “Jun, Junhe, why did you come here?”

“Humph! If I don’t come, I don’t know with what groundless charge you will bully my daughter.” After Leng Yan’s case, Shi Junhe hated his brother to the bone who was disappointing and had evil intentions all the time.

In front of Mo Shujun, he didn’t show mercy at all when speaking.

He showed his momentum as a big brother and even with indifference.

It was almost all that Shi Juncai feared. He shrank his neck and didn’t dare to say anything.

At this hour, he should try to convince Shi Junhe with an argument and show the solid evidence, and then he would forcefully send Shi Qingxue to the government with Mo Shujun’s support. Everything would be fine as long as the girl was in the government.

But he was a coward. At first, Shi Qingxue led him by the nose, and then he was scared by Shi Junhe out of wits.

He trembled and hid behind Mo Shujun. Not to mention arguing with Shi Junhe, even if he had to raise his head and meet Shi Junhe’s eyes for half a minute, it could take his life seemingly.

Shi Junhe watched aside impassively and saw that Mo Shujun patted the back of Shi Juncai’s hand to comfort him silently. He was emotionless and just thought coldly, “Sure enough, they are mother and son.”

Mo Shujun knew that her youngest son feared Shi Junhe, so she didn’t blame Shi Juncai as he backed off. Instead, she complained about Shi Junhe. “Junhe, what do you mean? Now your brother seeks justice for your father, but you don’t help him. And do you even want to cover up for the criminal?”

Shi Junhe stared at Mo Shujun and felt that he couldn’t face the words “cover up for the criminal” calmly for a long time in the future.

“Mother, you just saw Qingxue in the mausoleum, but you said that she ruined Father’s grave. I am afraid that this is groundless,” Shi Junhe stated coldly.

Mo Shujun pointed out unhurriedly, “Somebody saw that Shi Qingxue ruined your father’s grave, so I came in a hurry. How can you say that there is no evidence?”

“Somebody?” Shi Junhe snorted and winked at Shi Jie.

Shi Jie was smart and ran away quickly before Shi Junhe spoke.

In less than fifteen minutes, Shi Jie brought a man who was soft all over his body. Under Shi Junhe’s hint, he threw the man to Mo Shujun.

Shi Junhe asked, “Is this the ‘witness’ you mentioned, Mother?”

Mo Shujun gazed at the man and found that this was the grave keeper Zeng Caiwang who lived with the grave keeper Wang, but after he sent a secret message to her, she had hidden him in order to carry out her plan later.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she started, he was found by Shi Junhe, and it appeared that he might have confessed everything.

Mo Shujun had this thought flashing in her brain yet soon calmed down. She stared back at Shi Junhe indifferently. “It is him who came to our mansion and reported to me. I remember that I told him to stay in the mansion. Why is he in your hands now?

“Judging from his appearance, did you torture him illegally?”

Nobody was so good at overawing others by displaying her power.

Mo Shujun had arranged a “witness” and tried to frame Shi Qingxue. As a result, it was exposed, so she implied that Shi Junhe and others might have beaten a man in order to extort a confession.

In this case, a “witness with doubtful points” couldn’t be present at the court as evidence no matter what he said.

Perhaps even if she couldn’t defeat Shi Qingxue according to her plan, she wouldn’t harm herself at least.

Mo Shujun’s plan was awesome.

If on the right occasion, Shi Qingxue even wanted to give Mo Shujun thumbs up.

As expected, an old demon was so evil when she played a trick.

Nobody could discipline her.

However, Shi Qingxue wasn’t in the mood to fight against Mo Shujun with wisdom and courage at the moment. Seeing that Shi Junhe seemed to want to investigate the matter, she stepped forward at once, simply telling him what she had found after she came and the old craftsman’s suggestion of opening the coffin.

Compared with a young lady who would get married and leave this family eventually, the family master Shi Junhe had a say in whether the coffin should be opened.

However, as a result, when he just frowned without saying anything, Mo Shujun shouted emotionally, “The coffin can’t be opened!”

She was emotional, angry and even flustered.

It seemed that what they would open was not Shi Lei’s coffin but Shi Lei.

After Shi Junhe was yelled at, no matter what was on his mind, it vanished in a flash.

He turned to the old craftsman and bowed respectfully, saying, “Elder, I don’t want to disturb my father. Do you have other ways to repair his grave without opening the coffin?”

When Shi Junhe talked with the old craftsman, all people looked at the old craftsman, so nobody noticed that after hearing Shi Junhe’s words, Shi Juncai had a weird smile on his lips which were pursed all the time…
