"Who?"
Li Cheng was very anxious.
He desperately wanted to know who Du Mubai went to see that day.
However, Li Qiao was very calm. "Actually, you know this person too."
"I know him too?"
He knew a lot of people.
From the sick King Huyi lying on the bed in the palace to the fat old lady selling insoles at the end of the South Street.
He knew all of them!
So the scope was too wide.
Li Qiao said, "Gong Shilin!"
What?
That guy?
Li Cheng was surprised. He had known Gong Shilin for so many years, and Du Mubai often visited Marquis Pingyang's Residence in the past. They had a good relationship. Logically speaking, if they knew each other, it was impossible for him not to know.
"Big Brother, are you sure it's Gong Shilin?"
"I've seen them together a few times and even had a meal together."
Had a meal together.
This completely shocked Li Cheng.
He was surprised. "You mean …"
Before he could finish —
Li Qiao interrupted him and continued, "I mean, they're just close. It doesn't mean that the person Du Mubai went to see that day was him. Besides, even if he went to see Shilin, it doesn't mean anything."
Indeed, it didn't mean that Du Mubai saw Gong Shilin and said that he was the murderer.
"I didn't expect them to know each other. They really hid it well."
It felt like he was going to see his lover with his wife.
It was a little strange!
"Alright, that's what I said anyway. Anyway, don't suspect Shilin because of personal grudges. He's the son of Left Prime Minister Gong after all. You have to be clear and don't cause trouble."
"I understand even if you don't say it. This is a murder case. I won't use public office to take revenge."
"It's good that you understand. It's getting late. Go and rest."
"Okay."
Li Qiao left first.
Li Cheng stood there thinking for a long time.
He was thinking about how Du Mubai knew Gong Shilin.
But he didn't know anything about it.
It was really too strange.
A servant came over and saw him in a daze.
"Second Young Master, what are you doing here?"
He came to his senses and glanced at the servant. "Nothing."
The servant stood there and didn't leave.
"What? Is there something else? "
"It's fine, it's just that … Second Young Master, you're blocking my way."
"Hmm?" Li Cheng looked around and found that he was indeed blocking the manservant's way. He awkwardly took two steps to the side and said, "Okay, okay, okay, I'll let you."
"Thank you, second young master."
The servant left.
Li Cheng also turned to leave, but when he reached his own courtyard, he turned back to his older sister's courtyard.
He was still a little worried.
Li Wenshu had been sick since she came back yesterday.
His illness was even more serious than when he learned of Du Mubai's death.
Marquis Pingyang invited the best imperial physician in the palace, but he said it was a heart disease.
When Li Cheng arrived at the door, a maidservant came out with a bowl of medicine.
The bowl of medicine was still full.
"Sister doesn't want to take the medicine?"
"I've persuaded her for a long time, but she still refuses to drink it. Second Young Master, please think of a way."
"Give it to me." He brought the medicine over and ordered, "You go ahead."
After the girl left, Li Chengcai went in.
There were two large heaters in the room, one in the outer room and the other in the inner room.
Li Wenshu leaned against the bed with a pale face, her eyes dull.
She had been like this since she returned to her courtyard.
"Sister," Li Cheng called out to her.
But Li Wenshu did not seem to hear him.
She did not move.
Li Cheng brought the medicine closer, his face full of worry. "Sister, drink the medicine."
"…"
"How can your body take it if you go on like this?"
"…"
"I know that Du Mubai's death was a big blow to you. Now that you've found out that he was killed by someone else, you must feel even worse."
Li Wenshu's eyes flickered slightly, then slowly focused on Li Cheng.
"Sister?"
"I'm fine." Her voice was very soft.
It was so soft that even the sound of her breathing could cover it.
But how could the word 'fine' be used to describe her current state?
Li Cheng said, "Sister, let's drink the medicine first."
"I'm really fine."
"No matter how fine you are, you still have to drink the medicine."
His attitude was firm.
How could Li Wenshu still have the mood to drink the medicine?
She felt as if a huge stone was buried in her heart. It hurt so much that her internal organs were knotted up, and it was difficult for her to speak.
Li Cheng brought the medicine in front of her.
"Ah Cheng, I really can't drink it. Don't force me." Her voice was choked with sobs.
Tears welled up in her eyes.
Li Cheng had always doted on his sister. Seeing her like this, he could not force her anymore.
He could only say, "Okay, I won't drink it."
He put the medicine aside.
Then he said, "Sister, don't think about this anymore. Anyway, I promise you that I will definitely find the real murderer who killed Du Mubai."
Li Wenshu looked at him. "Ah Cheng, why did it turn out like this?"
She asked him.
Li Cheng sighed.
"I thought that after six years, everything would be over and I could give up and marry into the Gong family, marry Gong Shilin. But now, it seems that everything has deviated from my expectations."
"Sister …"
"If I had discovered something back then, maybe I wouldn't have waited six years to find out that Mubai was killed."
She blamed herself.
She blamed everything on herself.
She had thought that after six years, she could really let go and marry Gong Shilin. From then on, that person named Du Mubai would disappear from her heart forever. But she never thought that things would turn out like this. How could she let go of everything and marry him?
Obviously, she could not!
Li Cheng could feel how much pain and regret she felt.
He comforted her, "This has nothing to do with you, Sister. No one would have thought that this would happen. Besides, the Six Ministries and the coroner said that he committed suicide. There is evidence, and no one suspected that he was killed. Sister, don't blame yourself. This really has nothing to do with you."
"No, Ah Cheng, you don't understand." Li Wenshu was a little agitated. Li Cheng grabbed her hand tightly and said, "You keep saying that I'm insensible, but I know everything! "Sister, no matter how it is now, in short, you and Du Mubai are over. He died six years ago. You can't always live in the past. Now you have to live by yourself." This life is your own.
Your life is your own. If you don't want to live anymore, then no one can save you. "
His voice was very heavy.
But it didn't ring.
These few words seemed to hit Li Wenshu's heart.
The tears in her eyes couldn't help but fall.
She finally calmed down a little.
Li Cheng brought the medicine over again and handed it to her.
This time, Li Wenshu drank the medicine obediently.
