“Since they are only several small worthless shops, we’d better not make something unpresentable distain your eyes, Uncle.” Shi Qingxue didn’t have an interest in the family property, but she didn’t want to see that something that belonged to Shi Junhe would be grabbed by others.
So she instantly retorted mercilessly.
Shi Juncai didn’t hear Shi Junhe’s retort, while he was rendered speechless by Shi Qingxue repeatedly, so he felt embarrassed.
He became angry from shame and cursed, “When the elders are discussing, as a child, do you qualify to speak?”
In the beginning, Shi Junhe resigned himself to adversity and didn’t fight for anything, but hearing Shi Juncai speak insolently to Qingxue, he roared coldly, “Since the three families would live apart, all the family members can express their opinions.
“When Ruyu spoke just now, Mother and we didn’t comment on her, right?”
As soon as Shi Junhe showed his coldness, Shi Juncai was scared and ceased fire.
However, on second thought, he was reluctant, as if a piece of meat beside his mouth was taken away.
How would the greedy Shi Juncai be willing to?
He didn’t dare to oppose Shi Junhe, so he winked at Mo Shujun crazily, with plea in his eyes, hinting, “Mother, I really need those shops. Help me.”
Mo Shujun couldn’t bear to see that Shi Juncai begged her, so she was about to speak, while Shi Qingxue stated decisively, “Those shops can’t be given to you.”
Mo Shujun glared at Shi Qingxue and rebuked in a cold voice, “Even though you are a member of the first master’s family, the family master is still Junhe. He hasn’t said anything. How can you make a decision?”
Shi Qingxue answered unhurriedly, “Grandma, didn’t you say that the allocation of the family property was decided by Grandpa when he was alive? It means that this is Grandpa’s last wish, and nobody can disobey, right?”
She said the same words that Mo Shujun had spoken out to retort them, which made Mo Shujun and the third master’s family turn ghastly pale but have nothing to say.
After a while, Mo Shujun returned calm and expressed coldly, “Since the family property has been divided, Junfeng and Juncai, just move out of Duke Shi’s mansion quickly tomorrow, in case that they dislike you in the future.”
“Mother!”
Shi Junfeng and Juncai protested at the same time and expressed that as the allocation of the family property was just decided, they hadn’t built the houses that they would live in in the future. How would they move out?
However, Mo Shujun questioned, “Didn’t you get a few houses for each? Aren’t they enough for you to live in?”
She reproached the two on the surface, yet in secret, she just censured Shi Junhe who didn’t care about his brothers’ life or death after they broke up the family.
Shi Junhe looked calm and wasn’t hurt by Mo Shujun’s words.
Perhaps she had said too many sarcastic words, so she couldn’t hurt Shi Junhe since long ago.
He just stated impassively, “Anyway, my mansion is spacious. If you don’t have a place outside to live in for now, of course you can live here.”
Before Shi Junfeng and Juncai were happy for long, Shi Junhe continued unhurriedly, “But I have heard that you two have bought land and built houses outside, and some of your family members have moved in. Hmm, am I right?”
Shi Junfeng and Juncai turned pale suddenly, while Zhang Qiuyan and Zhou Ruyu glared at them.
In Mo Country, it was acceptable if a man married a wife and concubines and even had sex with their maids or went to the brothels, and others wouldn’t say anything, but if they let a woman live in another house illegally, it was a big problem.
The ordinary people wouldn’t be so bold. Generally, a man had a forceful wife, so even if he was randy, he didn’t have the nerve to have concubines, and he had to let the woman live in another house.
Nevertheless, neither of the two brothers in the Shi family had a forceful wife, but they had a mother who decided everything. How did they dare to have concubines openly without Mo Shujun’s permission? So they let their women live outside.
They thought that nobody knew it, yet everything was in Shi Junhe’s eyes unexpectedly.
Mo Shujun glanced at the two brothers ferociously. Meeting Shi Junhe’s eyes with a faint smile, she blushed and was too ashamed to tell the two to refuse to leave Duke Shi’s mansion.
In frustration, the two brothers told the servants to move.
After Shi Changfeng and the others left and only the members of the Shi family were left, Shi Junhe said, “Mother, just now you talked with me about burying Father again. I have considered for a while. It’s better…”
“I have chosen clothes for your father, and it happens to be a lucky day after two days. You make preparations and have your father buried as soon as possible to make him rest in peace.” Mo Shujun didn’t plan to let Shi Junhe finish his words but arbitrarily announced her decision.
Shi Junfeng and Juncai echoed Mo Shujun and praised her as she was considerate. And they even offered help “with a little effort”.
They echoed one another cheerfully and elbowed Shi Junhe out, giving him no chance to cut in.
At this time, it happened that a servant rushed in and whispered in Shi Junhe’s ear.
Shi Junhe’s expression changed sharply and he stared at the servant, asking, “Really?”
The servant glanced at Mo Junyang secretly, and nobody found it. Then he lowered his head again and said respectfully, “My Lord, I told the truth. Elder…Lord…is…”
His voice was lower and lower and he stuttered, so the others just heard something roughly and got confused.
Shi Junhe looked more solemn. Suddenly, he turned to Mo Junyang, with his questioning eyes, while the young man looked at him calmly, with his expression unchanged.
The two men looked at each other for fifteen minutes under the weird atmosphere, till Shi Qingxue felt restless and called in a low voice, “Fa…Father?”
Shi Junhe suddenly came back to earth, and his tense face relaxed. He smiled at Shi Qingxue subconsciously. “Nothing.”
But judging from his expression, it didn’t look like nothing happened.
Shi Qingxue was still worried, but seeing Shi Junhe’s unusually serious expression, she held back her words.
However, after comforting Shi Qingxue, Shi Junhe turned to Mo Shujun. “Mother, I think it’s improper to bury Father only with a fake body of his clothes.”
Mo Shujun had made the decision, yet Shi Junhe stopped her repeatedly, so her face darkened in an instant, and she asked coldly, “Now you have made your father’s skeleton disappear, but you are unwilling to bury him with a fake body. Do you want to make him unpeaceful after death?”
She said that, as if Shi Lei’s skeleton disappeared because of Shi Junhe.
Shi Junhe didn’t fear Mo Shujun who shifted the responsibility onto him. After she lost temper, he asked calmly, “If I find Father’s skeleton, would you still insist on burying him with a fake body, Mother?”
“What?” Mo Shujun turned pale with fear for the first time and sprang from her seat. She was shocked and opened her mouth wide, glaring at Shi Junhe, unable to speak a whole sentence for a long time.
Shi Junhe nodded seriously and explained, “A servant came to report just now that Governor Zheng in the Capital Bureau has found Father’s skeleton and asked me to claim it, so we don’t need to make a fake body for him, right?”
Mo Shujun didn’t come to her senses and nodded in a daze. “Of course, of course…”
“I am going to the Capital Bureau now.” Shi Junhe hesitated for a moment and then looked at Mo Shujun, asking, “Mother, are you going with me?”
Mo Shujun loved Shi Lei so much, and she must want to get his skeleton back as soon as possible.
However, beyond expectation, Mo Shujun didn’t nod. Her stunned expression was replaced with weariness.
She touched her forehead and waved her hand. “I am tired now, and since the governor told you, you go there.”
Afterward, she ignored others’ expressions and told the servants to help her return to the Shou’an Hall.
As soon as Mo Shujun entered the Shou’an Hall, she straightened her back and got energetic. She walked quickly like the wind back to the hall for worshipping the Buddha where she sat in meditation at ordinary times.
Her action scared the maid who followed her in a blue funk, and she thought that Mo Shujun became vigorous just before death.
She asked nervously, “Your Highness, are you okay? Shall I call for a doctor for you? Don’t…”
Mo Shujun had something in mind, yet this maid’s endless voice disturbed her, so she was dizzier. She couldn’t help but rebuke in a low voice, “Shut up!”
The maid stayed silent in an instant, like a quail.
However, after the maid quieted down, Mo Shujun wasn’t in a better mood. Instead, she glared at the maid crossly and cursed again, “Useless thing. Fine, you don’t need to serve me. Get out of here!”
The maid replied while trembling and was about to go out, but Mo Shujun ordered coldly, “Close the door after going out. Just stay in the courtyard and don’t allow anybody to get close to this room. If somebody comes to see me, tell them that I won’t see any guests. Do you hear me?”
“Yes, yes…”
After the door was closed for quite a while, Mo Shujun’s tense face softened a bit.
She stared at the statue of Buddha in the room for a long time, as if lost in thought. Then she got up and walked over.
She took out three sticks with incense and reached out to the everlasting lamp. She wanted to light them, yet she was not skillful as it was a job for the servants at ordinary times. She lit them for a long while before she made it.
She inserted the three sticks with incense into the burner and then knelt to the statue of Buddha, kowtowing devoutly for three times. “Buddha, please bless me.”
Later, she got up and walked to the statue, pressing its head.
With a click, a crack showed up in the plank behind the statue and then became bigger gradually.
It was a secret door unexpectedly.
Mo Shujun picked up the everlasting lamp and walked in through the secret door.
It was dark inside, and the everlasting lamp was dim and swaying, which made the dark room more scary.
Mo Shujun didn’t feel it at all and just moved forward with the oil lamp. Under the dim light, she looked mysterious.
She walked to an innermost couch and then stood still.
On the couch, it was covered with a white cloth. It seemed that there was something inside, which bulged slightly.
Mo Shujun sat beside the couch and looked at its head. After quite a while, she raised her hand and lifted the white cloth, revealing the white bones in it.
It was eccentric and terrifying.
However, Mo Shujun’s face which was tense all the time finally relaxed, and she smiled faintly, looking soft
She bent over slightly and got close to the head of the skeleton, trying to kiss it. “Yunyang…”
When her lips were almost close to the white bones, there were sounds from behind all of a sudden.
“Mother, what are you doing?”
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
