Jing Rong carried her to the bed and carefully placed her injured hand under the quilt.
But when he held Ji Yunshu's slender wrist, he unconsciously felt a faint pain in his chest again.
That kind of pain came one after another. It was so painful that he felt as if he would be torn apart in an instant.
His brows were tightly knitted together, and it took him a while to suppress the pain.
Why is it like this?
Why is it that every time he faces this woman, his heart will hurt so much?
It was a pain he had never felt before!
Even when he was heavily injured, he had never felt like this before.
He panted slightly, and his bottomless eyes looked at Ji Yunshu who was lying on the bed. Looking at her delicate face, he felt that it was strange yet familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before. But in the blink of an eye, he couldn't remember anything.
It seemed so illusory!
Unconsciously, he couldn't help but reach out his hand to touch Ji Yunshu's ice-cold cheeks.
But the moment his fingertips touched it, he retracted them.
He got up and retreated … only stopping when his body bumped into the table behind him.
He was afraid!
Afraid that he would really be moved by this woman!
Love is poison!
He told himself over and over again in his heart.
Until the feeling in his heart dissipated little by little.
He withdrew his gaze and was about to leave when he accidentally stepped on something on the ground. He looked down and saw that it was Ji Yunshu's bag. It was a long cloth bag, and it seemed to contain something. He picked it up and saw that it was a painting. Just as he was about to take it out to take a look, he heard footsteps outside and a figure landed in front of the door.
"Miss Ji, are you there?"
It was a little girl.
Jing Rong quickly put down the painting and jumped out of the window.
The maid outside knocked on the door for a while, but there was no response. She was worried that something had happened inside.
After all, there was a murder case in the villa, and everyone was very nervous.
"Miss Ji?"
The maid was worried and called two servants to break the door open, only to see Ji Yunshu lying on the bed. The maidservant hurried to the bedside and saw that Miss Ji had taken off her veil, revealing her beautiful face. Although it wasn't a devastatingly beautiful face that could cause the downfall of a city, it was like a celestial being. That kind of beauty was untainted by the mortal world, clear and clean, like a woman from a painting.
It was said that women were like the moon in the water, but Ji Yunshu was like a flower in the mirror.
It was magnificent!
Seeing such a beauty, the maidservant was stunned for a moment. Only then did she remember what she had to do. She hurriedly called out to her a few times.
He stretched out his hand and shook Ji Yunshu.
Ji Yunshu didn't faint too deeply.
After she was awakened, she sat up on the bed and looked at a little girl and two servants in front of her.
Jing Rong was long gone …
She wasn't sad, and she didn't chase after him. Instead, she sat there quietly, as if everything was within her expectations.
Yes!
Why would Jing Rong leave with her?
She was too naive and her thinking was too simple!
She thought she could move him and persuade him.
But it turned out …
She smiled bitterly.
She looked at her injured hand with tears in her eyes.
In the end … he still couldn't make him stay!
But because she had already expected it, she wasn't disappointed.
But she would still continue to wait!
Continue to look for him!
"Miss, are you alright?"
She suppressed her tears and shook her head. "I'm fine."
"You really scared this servant."
"You can leave."
"This servant has already brought you some food. You haven't eaten anything all day, so you should at least eat a little."
She nodded.
Then, after the maidservant and the manservant left, she got up from the bed and looked at the painting on the table. She hugged the painting and walked to the window. A gust of cold wind blew in through the window, and it felt like a knife was scraping her face.
She let the cold wind blow on her face as she raised her eyes to look at the lonely moon in the night sky.
"Jing Rong."
She carefully thought, 'What important matter does Jing Rong have to do?
Important matter?
The Wen brothers? '
Her eyes suddenly widened.
"Could it be …"
She suddenly understood!
She immediately grabbed the veil she had placed on the side and put it on. Then, she rushed out of the room and ran out of the courtyard.
Because of Li Shiyan's matter, Zhu Yao had been worrying inside the room.
In the blink of an eye, she saw a familiar figure passing through the courtyard.
When she looked, she discovered that it was Ji Yunshu!
"Miss Ji?" She chased after her.
She saw Ji Yunshu rushing out of the courtyard as if she was chasing something.
'Strange!
It's already so late, where can she go? '
Cai 'er also rushed out of the room and naturally saw Ji Yunshu. He curiously asked, "Isn't that Miss Ji?"
Zhu Yao thought for a moment and said, "Let's follow her."
"But there are people patrolling outside. If you go out like this, I'm afraid it won't be good."
Zhu Yao said, "There's a murder case in the villa, and we still don't know who the murderer is. If Miss Ji runs out like this, what if something happens? I have to follow her to see. "
Although Zhu Yao was still worried about Li Shiyan's matter, Ji Yunshu running out so late at night didn't seem right. Thus, she didn't care too much and quickly chased after her.
The moment Ji Yunshu left the courtyard, she saw that the villa was filled with people patrolling everywhere. It should be related to the murder case that she had been told about a few days ago!
She didn't know the direction, so she immediately grabbed a manservant and asked, "Where does General Wen live?"
The manservant was holding a lantern in his hand and was looking for someone. Suddenly, a woman wearing a veil appeared in front of him. He was stunned for a moment, then pointed in a direction and said, "General Wen lives in the East Courtyard."
Hearing this, Ji Yunshu headed in that direction.
But —
The manservant came to his senses and shouted at her back, "Miss, don't run around!"
Just as he finished speaking, he turned around and Zhu Yao appeared in front of him again. She asked, "Where did that young lady go?"
The manservant's mouth was still open, but he was stunned again. "Ah?"
"The young lady wearing a veil just now, where did she go?"
The manservant reacted and said, "She asked me … where does General Wen live? I told her he's in the East Courtyard. "As he said this, he pointed in another direction.
Thus, Zhu Yao hurriedly chased after Ji Yunshu with Cai 'er, heading towards the courtyard where General Wen lived.
Zhu Yao's heart was pounding. Miss Ji, who hadn't left the house for the whole day, suddenly ran out in such a hurry. It was obviously not normal. Zhu Yao was worried that something had happened. Or … could it be related to Shi Yan? Thinking of this, she immediately collected her thoughts. She was too worried about Shi Yan, to think that Miss Ji's matter was related to Shi Yan. She was really muddle-headed.
Ji Yunshu ran all the way. When she turned a corner in a long corridor, she suddenly bumped into a person. No, to be more accurate, she bumped into a wheelchair.
Her feet hit the hard side of the wheelchair, causing her body to fall to the side in pain. She fell heavily on the ground, her palms rubbing against each other. The pain made her frown, and she couldn't help but let out an "Ugh". Just as she was about to raise her eyes to look at the person in the wheelchair, she heard a gentle voice asking her.
"Miss, are you alright?"
Ugh!
This voice …
Ji Yunshu's heart suddenly tightened, and her body trembled.
It's Ji Pei!
She didn't expect to bump into him at this time!
But right now … what should she do?
Su Ziluo looked worried as he looked at the girl sitting on the side of his wheelchair. She was wearing a veil and her head was lowered, so he couldn't see her face clearly. In the end, it was his wheelchair that had knocked down the lady. He felt bad and was about to reach out to help her up. However, before his hand could even touch the lady's arm, the lady's body immediately tilted to the side.
"Miss?" Su Ziluo sensed that something was wrong. He couldn't help but frown. "This one accidentally bumped into you, so I apologize. Did I … hurt you?"
Ji Yunshu gently shook her head. She held her breath and forced herself to stand up. With her back facing Su Ziluo, she said, "I'm fine."
After saying that, she immediately left without staying any longer.
Su Ziluo immediately turned his wheelchair to look at the woman's departing figure. His gentle face instantly froze. His deep eyes were filled with shock and tears gradually welled up in them.
