Shi Junhe looked outside and inside for several times but didn’t find what was wrong as the old craftsman mentioned.
The old craftsman had to point to a sunken part next to the jade pillow in the coffin and explained, “A box must have been put here in the past.”
“Hmm?” Shi Junhe nodded yet still looked confused as he didn’t know how a box would influence it.
However, since the old craftsman said that, he still explained unnecessarily, “Perhaps the people who buried my father put something inside that he liked.”
Although Shi Junhe didn’t know what should be put in a box, this explanation must be the most reasonable.
Nevertheless, the old craftsman looked baffled. He seemingly wanted to explain but didn’t know what to say.
“This mark must be left under an eight-treasure box, right?” Mo Junyang suddenly spoke out what the old craftsman didn’t finish.
The old craftsman goggled. “How did you know it?”
Although the insiders in this field knew that the wealthy people in this country would put the ashes of a dead person in an eight-treasure box as a cremation urn, generally, the noble families wanted to bury the dead in soil to rest in peace, and almost nobody would be so miserable as to be burnt to ashes.
It was normal that Shi Junhe didn’t know it, but how did Mo Junyang know that?
The old craftsman looked at Mo Junyang in doubt. Since a moment ago, he thought that this young man seemed to know everything all the time and even knew…
“Ahem!” Shi Qingxue coughed twice and interrupted the old craftsman’s questioning eyes.
She didn’t want to hear Mo Junyang say that because he did that, as if nothing had happened.
It would be scary.
She hurriedly changed the subject. “Elder, do you mean that somebody burnt Grandpa to ashes? Obviously it is impossible. When he passed away, I was young, but I can still remember something. He was buried in whole.”
When the coffin was covered, she watched aside.
The three men believed her words.
Shi Qingxue continued, “If it was not Grandpa, would it mean that another…person’s cremains were put in the eight-treasure box and buried together with him?”
However, as soon as she spoke out her guess, even she thought that it was unreliable.
The people who were not extremely intimate wouldn’t choose to be buried together.
In the history, the emperor and officials had been buried together only for once. Shi Qingxue didn’t believe that they were the late emperor’s cremains in the eight-treasure box.
However, in this case, there was another question.
Even when Mo Shujun demanded to leave a hole beside his grave so that the couple would be buried together after she died in the future, Shi Lei refused her with the reason that she should be buried in the royal mausoleum.
Whom did Shi Lei want to be buried with?
All people present fell into silence.
After a long time, Mo Junyang stated first, “Probably we won’t get any clues if we stand here. Let’s go back and consider carefully before making a decision.”
If they didn’t open the coffin earlier but buried it in the grave again when they knew nothing, the next job was to find the bastard who had destroyed the grave.
Nevertheless, since Shi Lei’s skeleton was missing, it was pointless to investigate who had ruined the coffin. The task of top priority was to find Shi Lei’s skeleton and the cremation urn as soon as possible which had also disappeared without any trace.
“Junyang, who do you think was buried inside?” Shi Qingxue moved close to Mo Junyang and asked in a soft voice.
Mo Junyang was pondering with his head lowered. When he came back to reality, he saw that Qingxue sat next to him closely, so he felt happy. He asked in reply with a smile on his face, “I think that you should be clear about it. In what condition, a person wants somebody to stay with him in this way even after death?”
Shi Qingxue was stunned and disapproved of it involuntarily. “But Grandpa and Grandma loved each other all the time…”
Mo Junyang shrugged to express that he didn’t know. The only member in the Shi family he cared about was Shi Qingxue, and he didn’t have an interest in the relationship among the elders.
“Judging from the mark left under the eight-treasure box, it must have been here for a few years at least, yet we don’t know if it was put inside when the coffin was buried or later…”
Mo Junyang accurately spoke out all the doubtful points.
For example, who had put the eight-treasure box in it?
Or did the person who robbed the grave aim at the eight-treasure box or Shi Lei?
Or whose cremains were in the box?
All the questionable points made the case confusing and weird.
“I’ll speak first!” Shi Qingxue put up her hand anxiously. Meeting Shi Junhe’s doubtful eyes, she added seriously, “This matter must have something to do with Grandma. Even if she is not the one who took away Grandpa’s skeleton, she must know what on earth happened. And…”
Shi Qingxue paused for a moment, and Shi Junhe couldn’t help but ask, “And what?”
Qingxue leered at Shi Junhe secretly and shrugged, murmuring, “She must know who the woman buried with Grandpa was.”
“Nonsense!” Shi Junhe furiously interrupted Shi Qingxue.
When Mo Junyang brought up this matter vaguely earlier, Shi Junhe was unhappy.
Unexpectedly, Shi Qingxue tried to convince Mo Junyang with an argument just now but soon she echoed him and talked about the elders’ privacy.
Although Shi Junhe had conflicts with Mo Shujun, anyway, she was his biological mother. It was strange enough that there was an unknown cremation urn in Shi Lei’s coffin. If there was a “ghost woman”, the consequence would be unimaginable.
He stared at Shi Qingxue coldly and ordered seriously, “Don’t mention this thing again in the future.”
He said this to Shi Qingxue, while he looked at Mo Junyang, with his stern eyes.
Compared with Shi Qingxue who was ignorant of worldly affairs, Mo Junyang had more resources in hands. What he could do was probably much more than Shi Junhe imagined.
Mo Junyang felt Shi Junhe’s inquiry, but his expression didn’t change. Obviously he didn’t plan to do as Shi Junhe said.
“I have promised Qingxue to find out anything strange. General Shi, please don’t worry.” Mo Junyang politely revealed his decision.
Shi Junhe was speechless. Aha, he would be more worried.
“This is a domestic affair of the Shi family. I am afraid…” For the sake of Shi Qingxue, Shi Junhe didn’t want to bother about this jerk who would irritate others with only a few words.
As a result, before Shi Junhe finished his words, Mo Junyang expressed, “Hmm, this is my business, too.”
The corner of Shi Junhe’s mouth twitched. This guy really didn’t think that he was an outsider.
“I…” Shi Junhe tried to find proper words, but at last, he found that he didn’t have “nice words” to express to Mo Junyang mildly.
So he continued directly, “It seems that I have never agreed to marry Qingxue to you.”
His tacit consent earlier was not effective.
Mo Junyang smiled and responded casually, “Only if Qingxue agrees.”
Shi Junhe suddenly glared at Shi Qingxue with his fierce eyes, which scared the girl.
“Er!” She was wondering who the “mystery guest” in the eight-treasure box was and ignored the two men who quarreled childishly. When her name was mentioned suddenly, she was frightened.
She moved backward by instinct and wanted to avoid the two men’s covetous eyes, but she found that they stared at her more closely.
Qingxue wanted to cry yet had no tears. “I didn’t say anything.”
However, Mo Junyang pointed out seriously, “You said yes. You have promised to marry me as long as I can find the secret that the princess royal hides all the time.”
Shi Qingxue was stunned.
It seemed to be true.
“Now I have found it.” Mo Junyang announced the result directly and then looked at Shi Junhe who was dumbfounded.
He even nodded gracefully and politely, saying slowly, “Today is a lucky day. I will tell somebody to send the betrothal gifts to your mansion later. Hope that you won’t dislike them, General Shi.”
Shi Junhe was speechless.
It changed so quickly that Shi Junhe was startled and couldn’t instantly retort Mo Junyang’s wishful thinking.
As a result, Mo Junyang thought that Shi Junhe gave tacit consent, so he decided. “It’s great that you have no objection, General Shi.”
“Wait. Who said that I…”
Shi Junhe was about to speak, while Mo Junyang unhurriedly brought up a new subject. “General Shi, don’t you want to know what secret your mother hides all the time?”
Shi Junhe paused for a moment and then asked seriously, “What is it?”
“Although I have guessed, under the current situation, I have no evidence. General Shi, if you really want to know, I am afraid that you need to do something.” Mo Junyang didn’t answer in a hurry but left a difficult problem to Shi Junhe.
Perhaps because Mo Shujun behaved more and more weirdly recently, Shi Junhe pursed his lips and didn’t object to the offer unexpectedly. He just asked, “What?”
“Break up the family.”
Shi Junhe probably understood Mo Junyang’s plan to “force them to a corner”, yet he was still baffled. “I have promised Mother earlier to break up the family after Baoning’s wedding. If I mention it rashly at this time, I am afraid…”
It was fine if the people at the imperial court censured him. Now there was something wrong with Shi Lei’s grave, and he didn’t have energy to consider breaking up the family.
Moreover, Mo Shujun wouldn’t agree.
“Not necessarily.”
Shi Junhe frowned. “What?”
“Under the circumstances, the princess royal may not be unwilling to break up the family.”
“Are you kidding?” Shi Junhe certainly didn’t believe Mo Junyang’s words.
It was because even though Mo Shujun doted on Shi Juncai, she really loved Shi Baoning. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have asked the Empress Dowager to give Baoning the title of Infanta.
The princess royal wanted to see Shi Baoning get married.
Nevertheless, Mo Junyang sneered and pierced to the truth with a single pertinent remark. “No matter what the princess royal did, Shi Juncai has claimed ties of kinship with the fourth prince and would regain his official position soon, so they don’t need you to mediate.
“As for Shi Baoning… Maybe the princess royal really loves this granddaughter, but compared with the dowries which would be carried out of the Shi family’s shared warehouse soon, I believe that she would make a choice.”
After all, when Shi Baoning got married, most of the enviable doweries would be carried out of the shared warehouse, which meant that they would use the three brothers’ property to put up a façade for the first master’s family.
“No way! Mother won’t have such a thought.”
Shi Junhe retorted Mo Junyang without hesitation and didn’t hide his indignation at this young man on his face. He even coldly glanced at Shi Qingxue.
He cursed in secret, “Look at the good husband that you have chosen. He thinks that everybody is evil.”
Shi Qingxue innocently shrank her neck to express that she said nothing just now.
But…
She looked at Mo Junyang and then at Shi Junhe, saying flatteringly, “Father, if you don’t believe it, you can have a try. Anyway, even if this idea is not practical, Mo Junyang would have other ways to make Grandma agree to break up the family. Father, please rest assured.”
Shi Junhe was unable to speak a word.
It was said that a daughter was the father’s “debt” that he had owed in the previous life, and he finally knew it today.
A married daughter was another family’s member indeed. Shi Qingxue spoke for Mo Junyang all the time even before marriage.
And she was natural and calm, as if she didn’t realize that she was partial to Mo Junyang.
Mo Junyang was happy.
But Shi Junhe was mentally exhausted.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

Mother won't have such a thought.Shi Junhe retorted Mo Junyang without hesitation and didn't hide his indignation at this young man on his face. He even coldly glanced at Shi Qingxue.He cursed in secret, Look at the good husband that you have chosen. He thinks that everybody is evil.Shi Qingxue innocently shrank her neck to express that she said nothing just now.ButShe looked at Mo Junyang and then at Shi Junhe, saying flatteringly, Father, if you don't believe it, you can have a try. Anyway, even if this idea is not practical, Mo Junyang would have other ways to make Grandma agree to break up the family. Father, please rest assured.Shi Junhe was unable to speak a word.It was said that a daughter was the father's debt that he had owed in the previous life, and he finally knew it today.A married daughter was another family's member indeed. Shi Qingxue spoke for Mo Junyang all the time even before marriage.And she was natural and calm, as if she didn't realize that she was partial to Mo Junyang.Mo Junyang was happy.But Shi Junhe was mentally exhausted.
