Whenever Zhu Yao talked about her marriage with Li Shiyan, she would feel her heart ache. Whenever this topic was brought up, her tears would fall uncontrollably. They were like pearls that rolled down her fair cheeks. Just looking at them would cause one's heart to ache for them.
Ji Yunshu had never been good at comforting people, especially when it came to matters between men and women. She didn't know how to comfort this innocent little girl in front of her. She wanted to say something several times, but she felt that it would be inappropriate to say it out loud, so she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue. Finally, after some deliberation, she said, "Things don't always go according to one's wishes. You just have to do your best to fight for it."
She didn't know if these words were considered comforting.
Was it considered easing the other party's feelings?
But in the end, the other party's tears stopped. She looked at Ji Yunshu with tear-filled eyes, and didn't say a word for a long time.
Ji Yunshu was startled by her stare. She asked, "Miss Zhu, are my words inappropriate?"
"No, you are absolutely right!" Zhu Yao grabbed both of her hands and said, "Miss Ji, you are right. Things don't always go according to one's wishes. You need to do your best to fight for it. No matter what my father decides, he can't change my mind. In this life, I won't marry anyone other than the heir. No matter how difficult life is, I will follow him. If he goes, I will let him go! In short, I definitely can't leave him! "
She said it seriously, and every word was filled with emotion. She was so determined, so desperate.
She was very similar to Ji Yunshu!
Zhu Yao asked her, "Miss Ji, can you understand my heart?"
Of course she understood. She understood the kind of unswerving and unwavering love. Not only did she understand, but she also understood that it occupied her entire life. Even if she was like the yellow sand, with nowhere to go, she would disregard everything to follow the love of her heart! Even if she had to dig out the last drop of blood in her body, she would disregard everything and rush to the side of the person she swore to protect with her life.
Zhu Yao saw that Ji Yunshu's eyes were gloomy. After waiting for a long time for a reply, she thought that Ji Yunshu didn't understand. She sighed and let go of Ji Yunshu's hands, saying, "I'm afraid that you think I'm crazy, laughing at me for being so crazy for a man. Yes, who could be as crazy as me? For the sake of the love of my heart, for the sake of that hasty glance back then, I actually fell so infatuated. The world … will probably laugh at me. "
She mourned alone, thinking that no one else could understand her!
Ji Yunshu held her trembling, ice-cold hand and said, "No one will laugh at you. Whether it's loving someone deeply or waiting for someone for a long time, whether it's crazy or infatuated, at the end of the day, it's all about love. Some people understand it, some don't, but as long as you understand it in your heart, as long as your heart never changes, I believe that the heavens will take care of you."
She never knew that she could say such words. Even though the words came out of her mouth and came from her heart, she was deeply moved by her own words.
Yes, whether it's loving someone or waiting for someone, as long as your heart is there, why care about those illusory things?
After hearing her words, Zhu Yao felt very comforted in her heart. For many years, besides Cai 'er, who she could talk to, she could only bury her deepest thoughts in her heart. There was no one else she could talk to, and it seemed that no one was willing to listen. Because of her yes-man temperament, the noble young ladies of Yan Jing City were all submissive. In addition, she didn't like to flatter people, so none of them were willing to get close to her. Every time they met, they would use sharp and unkind words, and would only stop when she was humiliated beyond recognition.
Now that she returned to Ning 'an Villa and met this girl called Ji Yunshu, she finally had someone to talk to. What she preferred was that the other party understood her heart, so she trusted Ji Yunshu even more.
"Miss Ji, I love to listen to what you say. Only you are willing to listen to me!" Her tears fell again, sticking to her fair face, moist and boiling hot.
Ji Yunshu saw that the handkerchief beside her hand was already wet, so she took out a new handkerchief and stuffed it into her hand, letting her wipe the tears off her face.
"Thank you, Miss Ji."
"You don't have to worry too much now. Everything hasn't been verified yet. The sky is already bright, and I believe that the people from the Supreme Court are gathering evidence again. Once they find the evidence, they will be able to prove Crown Prince's innocence. I believe that the person you love deeply will not disappoint you. He will be safe and sound, standing in front of everyone." Ji Yunshu's words of consolation carried a hint of determination and seriousness.
Zhu Yao's heart felt even more at ease when she heard this. She nodded heavily and said, "Yes, you are right. He is definitely innocent. I believe him. He saved my life twice. How could such a person kill? Others don't believe him, but I do."
Ji Yunshu continued her words, "You believe him too?"
When Zhu Yao heard Ji Yunshu's words, a smile blossomed on her dejected face. She held Ji Yunshu's hand even more intimately. She liked Ji Yunshu, liked this girl. She felt that even if Ji Yunshu wasn't beautiful, her heart was still good. Not only that, she was completely different from those sharp-tongued and unkind girls. She was truly a good person.
Her heart finally felt much better, so she didn't continue to disturb Ji Yunshu, "Then I won't disturb you anymore. I will return to my room first. If you have any matters, feel free to look for me. If you have anything on your mind, feel free to tell me. I will definitely keep it a secret for you and won't tell anyone."
"Okay!" Ji Yunshu agreed.
Zhu Yao had just taken a step out when she suddenly thought of something and turned back to ask, "Oh right, Miss Ji, where do you live? When I return to Yan Jing, I will look for you. When I have nothing else to do, we can also talk. "
She didn't know if she would return to Yan Jing. Perhaps she would forcefully drag him back to Great Lin after finding Jing Rong. However, seeing the sincere look in the girl's eyes, she really didn't want to pour cold water on her. She smiled sweetly, "I'm not from Yan Jing. I was just passing through here. Fortunately, I got to know General Wen, so he brought me along. On the day we return, I will tell you where I live."
"General Wen treats you very well. He is as handsome as a jade tree, and I heard from my father that he is highly regarded by His Majesty in the imperial court. His future is boundless. Miss Ji and General Wen are a perfect match. Anyone who sees them would think that they are a good couple."
This red thread was too sudden!
It was too baffling!
Ji Yunshu was too lazy to explain one by one. She only smiled and didn't say anything. Just as Zhu Yao was about to leave, Ji Yunshu stepped forward and pulled her back. Her beautiful willowy eyebrows furrowed almost imperceptibly. Then, she pulled Zhu Yao's hand. With a serious expression, she said in a strange tone, "Miss Zhu, if I really need your help later, would you be willing?"
Zhu Yao nodded almost without thinking. "Of course. You have helped me many times and comforted me several times, making my heart feel at ease. In my eyes, you are my real sister. If there is anything you need help with, I will naturally be willing. As long as you ask."
She made such a promise, it was clear that she really cared about Ji Yunshu.
Hearing her words, Ji Yunshu also felt relieved.
But …
Zhu Yao asked, "What do you want me to help you with?"
She was just asking for Zhu Yao's opinion. Right now, the evidence hadn't been completely collected to prove Li Shiyan's innocence, so she couldn't say it now. She said, "Let's talk about it later. Right now … there's no rush."
Zhu Yao didn't get to the bottom of the matter. She only repeatedly expressed her willingness to help Ji Yunshu, then returned to her room.
Ji Yunshu closed the door and took out the three pieces of evidence she had found.
One was the silver needle.
Another was the bloody print on the rockery.
The last one was the black granules stuck to the corpse.
She analyzed them one by one. The silver thread might have been hooked out from the clothes. Based on the softness and luster of the silver thread, it was obviously exposed from the silk of brocade. And the person who could afford to wear brocade was obviously not from an ordinary family. He must be from a rich family. However, the people who came to the manor this time were all rich and noble. Any one of them could afford to wear brocade clothes. Thus, this silver thread could only be used for investigation and not as evidence to testify against the murderer.
