'Bastard!'
Du Xing 'er hated herself for not killing that bastard with her own hands.
Speaking up to this point, the anger in her chest continued to boil.
Yet, she tried her best to restrain it.
Ji Yunshu didn't doubt that her words were false.
That kind of deep pain could only be expressed by someone who had personally experienced it.
She could see the despair and hatred in Du Xing 'er's eyes.
As for Ji Yunshu, apart from heartache, there was only guilt. "I'm sorry, I didn't know it was like this."
Du Xing 'er sneered and wiped away the tears on her face. She looked at Ji Yunshu and said, "I didn't want to say it, and no one knew. But now, are you satisfied? The secret I hid for six years has been forced out by you."
"Miss Xing 'er, I didn't mean it! If this case wasn't related to you, I wouldn't have come to offend you. But don't worry, I won't tell a third person about what you just told me! "
"Heh, you really … won't tell anyone?"
"A gentleman will never break his promise."
Du Xing 'er pursed her lips. She was skeptical, but now, she had no choice but to believe.
"Good! Then, I hope you can keep my secret. "Finished speaking, she put the veil back on her face.
Her mood gradually calmed down.
However, the blue veins on her forehead were still there.
She continued, "Now, I have told you everything you wanted to know. If you don't have anything else, please leave."
Ji Yunshu saw that she was gradually calming down, so she opened her mouth and said, "There is one more thing."
"What is it?"
"When Du Mubai came to Drunken Moon Pavilion, was he alone? Or did he come with someone else? Is there anyone close to him in Drunken Moon Pavilion? I hope you can tell me the truth. "
Du Xing 'er turned her body and turned her back to him. "I've told you everything I know and everything I've experienced. As for that bastard, I don't know anything else!"
Ji Yunshu couldn't see her expression, but she could hear the certainty in her voice.
"Okay, I understand!"
"If that's the case, please leave."
"Goodbye!"
Ji Yunshu cupped her hands and left the room.
She closed the door.
When the room became quiet again, Du Xing 'er's emotions broke down again!
Her eyes were bloodshot. She suddenly grabbed a vase from the cabinet and smashed it heavily on the ground.
With a flick of his sleeves, he swept all the things on the cabinet to the ground.
Just as she was about to continue venting, she saw the book of poems that she had swept to the ground.
She suddenly panicked.
He immediately sat on the ground and picked up the book of poems. He used his sleeves to carefully wipe off the dust on it before holding it in his arms.
His eyes were moist.
It was obvious that she cherished this book very much.
…
When Ji Yunshu came out, Jing Rong, who was drinking tea, put down his teacup and walked over.
"What do you think?"
She shook her head. "I don't have any clues."
"You guys are inside …"
"You'd better not ask."
Jing Rong suddenly understood. "I understand."
He didn't ask any further.
Just as the two of them were about to leave the Drunken Moon Pavilion, they called the manservant over.
Ji Yunshu deliberately asked, "Just now, when Miss Xing 'er was singing, she unintentionally mentioned that she used to have a listener. His name was … Du Mubai. Is he the Nan Shen scholar that everyone in Gaoding City knows?"
She couldn't directly inquire about this!
This was to prevent the murderer from taking precautions.
The manservant said, "That's right! It's that Nan Shen scholar! In the past, he often came to find Miss Xing 'er to sing. "
"Oh? But isn't he born in poverty? Coming here to listen to a song costs a lot of money. Could it be that he befriended some rich kid and invited him? "
"No! He's usually alone! "
"Alone? That's strange. "
"Now that you mention it, it's really strange. But I didn't pay much attention to it. After all, as long as a listener is willing to spend money, they are all masters in our eyes. Who would think so much? Maybe the money he used to listen to the song was given to him by Marquis Pingyang. After all, he is a disciple of Marquis Pingyang's mansion. "
It wasn't unreasonable!
It seemed like the clues … were broken again.
Who was the murderer?
How could he disappear so cleanly?
She couldn't even catch a trace of his shadow.
This made Ji Yunshu even more curious about the clever murderer!
As soon as they left the Drunken Moon Pavilion, Lang Po saw them from the teahouse.
"They're here!"
She finally felt relieved!
When they came up, Li Cheng asked first, "Did you find anything?"
Both of them had a dignified expression.
"Why aren't you talking? What's the situation? Is there a clue? Or no clue? "
Ji Yunshu shook her head.
"No? Then why did you take so long? "
Jing Rong glanced at him. "If we want to inquire about information, we can't just go in and ask. Of course, we have to listen to the song and go through the motions."
Li Cheng said, "There's nothing wrong with that!"
However, Ji Yunshu's face remained calm.
The reason was not only because they didn't find any clues.
It was because of Du Xing 'er's words.
It was because of Du Xing 'er's words.
Du Mubai … is a beast!
She really didn't expect that a weak scholar could be like this!
For a moment, she somewhat sympathized with Li Cheng's sister, Li Wenshu.
That woman had been sad for six years.
In exchange, she received such a cruel truth.
But … she couldn't say it!
The truth was too cruel!
After returning to the old mansion, she kept thinking about this matter. She sat alone in the long corridor for a long time, her eyes fixed on the fluttering white snow under the night sky.
Suddenly, a cloak fell on her shoulders.
Jing Rong said, "Don't catch a cold."
She nodded and smiled.
At this time …
"That … something happened."
Song Zhi?
He ran over.
He was a little anxious.
Jing Rong's gaze tightened. "What happened?"
Song Zhi said, "That … I don't know what happened. When I passed by the kitchen, I saw Bai Yin and Master Lang arguing. I thought something was wrong, so I came to inform you."
"Arguing?" Jing Rong frowned. He turned to Ji Yunshu and said, "I'll go take a look."
As he said this, he quickly walked towards the direction of the kitchen in the backyard.
Ji Yunshu wrapped the cloak around her body. She was also a little worried. She said to Song Zhi, "I'll go take a look too."
Song Zhi said, "I'll go with you."
Ji Yunshu said, "Master Song, you should go back to your room and read your book. The exam will start soon. Don't delay it."
"But …"
"Don't worry, they'll be fine!"
"Alright then."
Ji Yunshu left.
