Shi Junhe was calm as before and wasn’t frightened by Mo Shujun’s aggressive attitude.

Instead, he answered peacefully, “I don’t know what you mean. Father’s skeleton has been stolen by a thief, right?”

He refused to admit that he had stolen Shi Lei’s skeleton, just like Mo Shujun did.

As long as Mo Shujun didn’t give him You Si’s cremation urn, Shi Junhe wouldn’t give her Shi Lei’s skeleton.

Mo Shujun pursed her lips and glared at Shi Junhe, with a ruthless expression in her eyes, as if to swallow him.

Shi Junhe was fearless and met Mo Shujun’s eyes calmly.

After a long time, Mo Shujun suddenly laughed and said in a harsh voice, “Aha! Don’t you just want your dead mother’s cremation urn?”

Shi Junhe looked at Mo Shujun and admitted it quietly.

However, Mo Shujun laughed more weirdly and horribly. She goggled at Shi Junhe and stressed each word, declaring viciously, “Don’t even think about it. I am your father’s official wife. Only I have the qualification to be buried with him. That bitch can’t even dream about it.

“Her cremation urn? Aha! I have thrown the useless box into a river and poured all her cremains into the river.

“I poured them in person. Didn’t she want to be with Shi Lei forever? I will make them unable to see each other forever!”

Seeing that Shi Junhe’s face looked worse gradually, Mo Shujun got happy because of her screwy psychology.

It was great.

She finally spoke out her “attainments”. She just wanted to see that bitch’s son in pain and hopelessness because of that.

Mo Shujun spoke to her heart’s content and her purpose was to irritate Shi Junhe.

And she really made it.

When Shi Junhe heard that Mo Shujun had personally poured You Si’s cremains into a river, he felt that his brain exploded in an instant.

Even before he came to his senses, he pinched Mo Shujun’s neck with both hands tightly.

For a moment, Shi Junhe really wanted to take Mo Shujun’s life, even though this old woman was his mother in name.

However, when he heard Mo Shujun moan in pain, Shi Junhe suddenly loosened his hands, as if they were burnt.

Till he heard Mo Shujun cough with difficulty, he felt that his reason came back to his brain.

He still looked ghastly pale and stared at Mo Shujun. He didn’t step forward to check on her but questioned coldly, “Is what you said true?”

Mo Shujun came back from the jaws of death. Facing Shi Junhe’s cold face, she felt scared more or less, yet she still struggled and sneered. “Why would I cheat you? If you don’t believe it, you can search everywhere in the Shou’an Hall to see if you can find it.”

While speaking, she couldn’t help but snort, and she seemed to talk to herself, murmuring, “How would I let that bitch defile my house? That is the residence of me and Shi Lei. That bitch doesn’t qualify to enter.

“As soon as I dug her out, I threw them into the river. I watched when she was farther and farther away from the capital and she won’t come back forever.”

“You!” Shi Junhe got angry again and almost couldn’t help but step forward to pinch Mo Shujun again.

Fortunately, this time he realized that not only he and Mo Shujun were in the room.

He restrained his anger and summoned Shi Jie to escort Mo Shujun who was out of mind back to the Shou’an Hall. Then he cupped his hands respectfully in front of Mo Xiangbin. “Something bad happened to my family. It was ungracious of me. Your Majesty, I am sorry to let you watch a play.”

Mo Xiangbin watched everything from beginning to end. Even when Shi Junhe was about to pinch Mo Shujun to death, the emperor remained unmoved and sat there at leisure.

Hearing Shi Junhe’s words, he smiled gently. “Every family has a skeleton in the cupboard. How would I blame you for such a trifle?”

Even though Mo Xiangbin said that, he thought, “Wonderful! It’s great if there is terrible internal disorder in each official’s family. Once the evidence against them is given to me, all of them will be at the mercy of me.”

Moreover, Mo Xiangbin needed Shi Junhe to guard the country for him. As for Shi Junhe almost killed his aunt, the emperor thought, “It’s just an old woman courting death. I don’t need to care about her.”

Although Shi Junhe knew that Mo Xiangbin was a “witness” invited by Mo Junyang, when he saw that the emperor was so easy-going, he was surprised, yet his surprise didn’t last long.

Or because Shi Junhe learnt the bad news that his biological mother was harmed by an evil person and her cremains were missing, he didn’t have the energy to bother about so much. He talked with Mo Xiangbin in a hurry and then respectfully sent him back to the imperial palace.

Shi Junhe originally planned to make use of the message that Shi Lei’s skeleton was in his hands and get his mother You Si’s cremains back, but he didn’t expect that Mo Shujun hated You Si so much that she even poured her cremains into a river mercilessly.

Aha!

Shi Junhe didn’t even have the last chance to have his parents buried together.

When he was in a trance and didn’t know what to do, Shi Qingxue ran into the study in a hurry and told Shi Junhe another piece of bad news. “Father, bad news…”

The next day after Shi Junhe and Mo Shujun fell out, after a night’s silence, both of them calmed down a bit.

Shi Junhe didn’t go to see Mo Shujun and pester her, but the news couldn’t be kept a secret that Mo Shujun was just Shi Lei’s second wife and had killed his first wife and forcefully snatched the first wife’s son, taking him as her son.

For a moment, the truth spread everywhere in the capital.

Because of Mo Shujun’s identity as the princess royal and the royal family behind her, all people who knew the truth didn’t dare to comment recklessly, but a lot of people said in secret that Mo Shujun was two-faced and vicious.

Even though Mo Shujun wanted to keep her position in Duke Shi’s mansion, she was too ashamed to show her face under the public opinion.

In only a few days, she went to her youngest son Shi Juncai’s mansion in dejection and lived with him.

Seeing that, Shi Juncai couldn’t help but complain, “Mother, if you drowned my big brother when he was young and didn’t know anything, so many things wouldn’t happen till today, right?”

Although Shi Juncai was thinking all day long about how to kill Shi Junhe and gain the title of nobility, when he mentioned Shi Junhe, he kept respectful by instinct and didn’t dare to call his name even though he was not around.

Shi Junhe’s power accumulated year after year was so horrible.

Mo Shujun was in a bad mood. Hearing Shi Juncai’s complaint, she showed a cold face and snorted. “If I didn’t raise him well, how would your father trust me? How would you be born?”

At the mention of this, Mo Shujun felt sad.

On the surface, Shi Lei and she always respected and treated each other with courtesy in daily life, but what was the truth?

In the beginning, Shi Lei was even unwilling to get close to her or enter her bedroom. If she didn’t take care of Shi Junhe and ask him to see the baby occasionally…Then she did something to lure him, so something happened between them later.

However, as Shi Juncai heard that, he showed more complaints on his face and looked at Mo Shujun resentfully. “Since you love Father so much, why did you…”

It was too difficult for him to say something like that. He was about to speak out, but he held back, while there was still resentment on his face.

Mo Shujun felt guilty under Shi Juncai’s glare at first, yet soon she threw her chest out courageously and snorted. “Even so…so what? Did I treat you unfairly? Tell me.”

Shi Junhe was rendered speechless and lowered his head in frustration.

Mo Shujun was still aggressive and said incisively, “Juncai, others can say how bad and evil I am, but only you don’t qualify to. I did everything just for you.”

Shi Juncai’s face turned red and pale in turn after he was reproached, and he opened his mouth, trying to retort.

“What do you want to say? Nobody else knew that matter, but you are disappointing. If you had practiced martial arts hard since childhood and won your father’s heart, with my help, would you have worried that you couldn’t get the title of Duke?” While speaking, Mo Shujun was more furious as Shi Juncai was disappointing.

After Shi Juncai was born, Mo Shujun had three “legitimate sons”, yet she and Shi Lei knew that she didn’t want Shi Junhe to inherit the title of nobility, and even from the law and discipline rite, she could find reasons to let one of her two sons inherit the title.

However, neither of her sons was promising.

One of them was cowardly and incapable, and even she didn’t want to see him, not to mention that Shi Lei didn’t give him a thought. The other, Shi Juncai, although he was intelligent by natural endowments, he was playful, lazy and opportunistic since childhood. He was not as diligent as Shi Junhe.

So Shi Lei gave up cultivating Shi Juncai in the end and raised the son of him and You Si wholeheartedly till he became the second General Shi.

Mo Shujun was so resentful.

She hated Shi Lei who was partial, and at the same time, she couldn’t help but blame Shi Juncai who was disappointing.

Shi Junhe blushed and shrank his neck with guilt when he was rebuked, yet he nursed a grievance.

If he didn’t know the truth too early, which made him have a misunderstanding with his father, how would he…

Shi Juncai gritted his teeth and held back his grievance. Then he raised his head again and smiled flatteringly at Mo Shujun. “Mother, at this late hour, it’s pointless to bother about what happened in the past. We’d better consider the present.”

Mo Shujun snorted but didn’t object to Shi Juncai’s words. She just stated coldly, “Even though I have moved out of Duke Shi’s mansion, I am still His Majesty’s only aunt and have an honorable identity, and now you have regained your official position, so you just need to work hard for the fourth prince and make some achievements in your career. Then I can ask for some profit for you after he takes the throne in the future, and you may not be inferior to Duke Shi.”

Hearing that he should do something practical, Shi Juncai put on a long face and looked unwilling.

He was called child prodigy since childhood, and he could win Mo Shujun’s favor naturally because he was capable except the bloodline, yet he was used to being lazy these years. If he had to work diligently, wouldn’t it take his life?

Shi Juncai’s eyes rolled, and he had another dirty thought. He started to incite Mo Shujun. “Mother, it’s better to give me more profit, but we can’t give up the title of Duke Shi to him without doing anything. You are Father’s official wife. Are you willing to see that Father’s title of nobility is inherited by that bitch’s son and grandchildren?”

People should touch an enemy’s tender spot, and Shi Juncai accurately hit Mo Shujun’s tender spot.
