I Won't Leave You
When they arrived at the Wei Mansion, Wei Fu happened to be at the entrance.
When he saw the prince, he was about to kneel and greet him, but Jing Rong stopped him.
"This Prince is here to handle a case. Wei Fu, call everyone in the mansion to the main hall immediately."
Wei Fu didn't dare to disobey the order. He glanced at Ji Yunshu viciously and hurriedly called for the servants.
Ji Yunshu looked at the Wei Mansion, which was full of promissory notes, and her heart ached.
She fiercely hid that emotion deep within her heart!
She glanced at Jing Rong and asked, "How is Wei Yi?"
Jing Rong only said, "He's fine. Lang Po is accompanying him. This Prince has also ordered everyone in the Wei Mansion not to mention anything else in front of Wei Yi. Tomorrow, he will attend his parents' funeral in peace."
His considerations were indeed more thorough than the others.
She nodded and didn't ask any further questions. She didn't want to affect her sensitive nerves and her eyes to turn red again.
At this time, Wei Fu had called all the servants in the mansion to the main hall.
Only then did everyone know that the person who came was His Highness. A few of them whispered to each other. They were the kitchen workers.
"He's His Highness? I even talked to him that night. "He seemed to be showing off.
The burly man next to him rolled his eyes. "I also talked to His Highness. Just a few words."
"Ptui."
"You're the one who's ptui."
"You're shameless."
"You're the shameless one!"
The two of them lowered their heads and argued in low voices. Their shoulders were already touching, and it seemed like a fight was about to break out.
Wei Fu, who was in front of them, heard the commotion. He walked down and slapped both of their heads.
"His Highness is here. How can you be so presumptuous?"
The two of them quickly bowed. "Yes, yes, yes …"
They looked embarrassed.
Wei Fu glared at them fiercely before stepping forward and cupping his hands. "Your Highness, all the servants are here."
Jing Rong grunted and turned his gaze to Ji Yunshu.
It seemed that Ji Yunshu was the master!
Wei Fu followed Jing Rong's gaze and looked at Ji Yunshu. Of course, he was unhappy.
It must be known that he firmly believed that Ji Yunshu was the murderer, but the death of a maidservant made him take all the blame.
At this moment, the news of Luan 'er's death had yet to reach the Wei Mansion. Otherwise, Wei Fu would be kneeling on the ground and begging Lord Liu and the prince for justice.
But this guy was wrong.
Magistrate Liu and Jing Rong were both standing on Ji Yunshu's side!
Ji Yunshu didn't want to waste any more time.
"On the night of the banquet, who was the one who poured wine for your master and madam?"
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at each other.
Among the crowd, a person slowly walked out. His hands were tightly rubbed on his abdomen, and his head was lowered.
She replied in a low voice, "It was this servant. That night, this servant was the one who poured wine for Master and Madam."
While the girl was speaking, Ji Yunshu had already sized her up from head to toe. She appeared to be about seventeen or eighteen years old.
She asked, "That day, when you were pouring the wine, was there anything unusual?"
The girl thought for a moment and shook her head. "No."
"Really?"
"Probably not."
"Think again."
Perhaps because Ji Yunshu's tone was slightly heavier, the girl's hands were trembling.
After thinking carefully, she finally shook her head. "I really didn't."
"But the wine was poisoned." Ji Yunshu said.
The moment he said that, the people in the hall became restless.
The girl wasn't stupid. She naturally understood what Ji Yunshu meant.
She immediately knelt down and said in a trembling voice, "It wasn't this servant. This servant couldn't have poisoned Master and Madam. Master and Madam treated this servant very well. This servant couldn't have poisoned them."
She sobbed.
Wasn't it Luan 'er who poisoned them?
How did it become Yue 'er?
Wei Fu finally reacted. He glared at the girl and shouted, "Yue 'er, were you the one who poisoned them?"
"It really wasn't this servant. It really wasn't."
"It wasn't her." Ji Yunshu stepped forward and helped Yue 'er up. "I didn't say that you were the one who poisoned them. You don't have to be so flustered."
Everyone was stumped by this.
Jing Rong didn't understand. "Are you so sure?"
She nodded and gently lifted Yue 'er's left hand. "Because the fingers on her left hand were injured. She shouldn't be able to move it, right?"
"Miss Ji … How did you know?" Yue 'er was surprised.
She studied bones, so of course she knew!
She could tell with one look!
"You don't need to know how I know. In short, it's too risky to pour wine with one hand and poison it. Moreover, it's impossible."
Wei Fu looked at Yue 'er and asked, "Your hand … can't move?"
Yue 'er stopped crying and nodded. "Yes. Madam pitied me and brought me into the mansion. This servant has always been taking care of Madam, and Madam didn't tell anyone about my crippled hand."
Madam Wei was really kind.
Ji Yunshu didn't want to say anything more. She turned to Wei Fu. "Steward Wei, please take them to their work."
Wei Fu nodded and led the girl away.
If it wasn't Yue 'er, then how did the poison enter her hand?
Ji Yunshu didn't seem to think too deeply about this issue. She glanced at Jing Rong.
She glanced at Jing Rong and said, "I want to see Wei Yi."
"Alright."
He didn't stop her.
Thus, Ji Yunshu went to the mourning hall in the backyard.
As soon as she entered, she saw Wei Yi kneeling inside.
For the past few days, Wei Yi had been kneeling from the front yard to here. Ji Yunshu also heard that he hadn't eaten for two days.
She remembered that Wei Yi was always the weakest when it came to hunger.
A table full of food could always be eaten clean by him.
She walked to Wei Yi's side with light steps and knelt down. She bowed three times towards the memorial tablet in front of the coffin.
Wei Yi's tired and lifeless eyes turned red the moment he saw Ji Yunshu.
He choked with sobs and called out, "Shu 'er …"
Ji Yunshu's heart ached when she met his sunken eyes.
How did Wei Yi manage to get through these two days?
"Shu 'er …" Wei Yi called out to her again and again.
Ji Yunshu stretched out her fingers from her sleeves and touched his ice-cold cheek. The coldness seemed to flow crazily through the wrinkles on her palm.
It penetrated deep into her skin and turned into sharp icicles that pierced her heart.
Ji Yunshu frowned in pain.
Wei Yi held her hand and threw himself into her arms, bawling his eyes out.
He was like a child!
Ji Yunshu's slender arms hugged him tightly as she caressed his head.
"Wei Yi, didn't I say that I'm here? Don't be afraid."
Her words lingered in Wei Yi's ears, causing him to cry even harder. He said, "But Shu 'er is gone. Shu' er doesn't want me anymore."
"Silly, how could I not want you? I will always take care of you. I won't leave you. "
His body trembled, causing Ji Yunshu's small frame to tremble as well.
He sobbed in pain. "Shu 'er, you really won't leave me? Really? "
"Yes, I promise you. I won't leave you. I will always be with you and take care of you."
"Shu 'er …"
