As a Thought
She walked from the entrance to the innermost part of the prison.
The dampness and stench that assailed her nostrils grew thicker, as well as the smell of iron chains.
"We're here," the jailer announced as he stopped in front of a cell.
Ji Yunshu peered through the wooden pillar and saw Lin Duan inside. Probably because she had bribed the jailer with money, Lin Duan's cell was exceptionally clean. There was even a blanket on his bed.
The man was sitting on the bed with his head drooped. His hair was disheveled, and his eyes were filled with despair.
Suyun was dead, and Lin Duan's heart was probably dead as well.
"Open the door," Ji Yunshu said.
The jailer appeared to be in a difficult position.
"Teacher Ji, I can't open the door for you this time. Last time, Suyun …"
If she hadn't gone in to see Suyun and left an oil lamp for her, Suyun wouldn't have used the plate to commit suicide.
She didn't want to make things difficult for him.
She might as well …
"Forget it. You can leave first."
"Alright."
The jailer obediently left.
Ji Yunshu knocked on the wooden pillar and called out, "Lin Duan."
Lin Duan still didn't respond.
"This case has already been investigated. Although you and Suyun didn't kill anyone, you should know that destroying corpses and erasing evidence can save you from death, but you will still be punished. Once the Ministry of Justice issues the documents, you will be convicted."
Lin Duan still didn't respond after she finished speaking.
Luan 'er tugged at the corner of Ji Yunshu's robe and whispered, "Miss, is he stupid?"
"He's not stupid. His heart is probably dead."
Ji Yunshu's words were directed at Lin Duan.
Lin Duan's body twitched, and he raised his head to look at Ji Yunshu. His eyes were filled with despair and hatred.
"It's you. You're the one who killed her."
His tone was as cold as a block of ice.
"I'm sorry." Ji Yunshu apologized.
"Yun 'er is already dead. What's the use of apologizing?" As soon as he finished speaking, he leaped up and suddenly rushed over. His whole body directly collided with the wooden pillar. With a fierce expression, he roared at Ji Yunshu, "It's all because of you! All of you should die! All of you must die! Be buried with my Yun 'er!"
Just as Lin Duan was about to slam into her, Luan 'er reacted quickly and pulled Ji Yunshu two steps back.
Otherwise, her delicate neck would have been imprisoned in Lin Duan's palm.
"Lin Duan, I know you have resentment in your heart, but if it weren't for the old housekeeper, Miss Zhou would have definitely drank that bowl of poison. You really wanted to kill her, and I admit that Suyun's death was my fault. But do you know? She committed suicide, but it was for you. "
"You're lying. You're the ones who forced her to die."
That angry roar echoed throughout the entire prison cell!
When the jailer heard the commotion, he naturally came in. When he saw that Ji Yunshu was fine, he didn't go over.
At this moment, Lin Duan looked extremely ferocious!
Love could really decide life and death and destroy one's mind.
Ji Yunshu didn't know that if Ji Pei's life was hanging by a thread, would she be the same?
Ji Yunshu snapped out of her daze and took out a handkerchief from her waist, handing it over to him.
"You should be familiar with this handkerchief, right? You should also be familiar with Suyun's handwriting, right? "
In a moment of desperation, Lin Duan grabbed the handkerchief in his hand. He couldn't be more familiar with it.
The two mulberry flowers, one red and one blue, were truly dazzling to the eye.
Then, the lines of words written in blood were printed on the white handkerchief, making it even more dazzling.
After Lin Duan finished reading it, he sat on the floor, holding the handkerchief and sobbing.
He blamed himself, "Yun 'er, I should have taken you away earlier. It's all my fault. I didn't take good care of you, causing us to lose our child. Now, even you have left me, Yun' er …"
His words struck Ji Yunshu's heart, making her feel extremely heavy.
In the end, she handed him the scroll she brought.
"Consider it a form of longing."
He held the scroll in his hand and slowly unrolled it. On the scroll, there was a delicate and pretty girl dressed in green. Her facial features were delicate, her eyes were nimble, her lips were crimson, and her eyebrows were exquisite.
It was truly lifelike!
It was as if Suyun was right in front of him.
Lin Duan cast off his previous hostility and looked at the painting in a daze.
Ji Yunshu didn't disturb him anymore and prepared to leave with Luan 'er.
Just as she took two steps, she heard Lin Duan's voice behind her, "Thank you."
Ji Yunshu stopped and didn't reply. She glanced at Lin Duan, then left.
When they left the prison, the sky suddenly started to snow. The thin snowflakes were blown by the cold wind, causing them to shiver in pain.
Luan 'er raised her eyes and complained, "I should have brought an umbrella when I left. Miss, why don't we wait a bit before leaving?"
"Xiaoxue, it's not a problem. Wait here until the snow stops. I'm going to the yamen, it's not far from here. I can borrow an umbrella from Lord Liu on the way."
"Ah? This servant will go with you. "
"I'm going to do an autopsy. Aren't you afraid of those piles of bones?"
'I'm afraid. Of course I'm afraid. I'm extremely afraid.'
Luan 'er shrunk her neck when she heard those words. Her eyes were filled with fear.
Ji Yunshu continued, "Besides, you're always a hindrance."
Her words were really direct!
She wasn't afraid that Luan 'er would be sad.
Ji Yunshu ignored her and stepped into the snow. The snowflakes brushed against her hair bun and her shoulders, quickly melting.
The weather during the winter months was really hard to fathom!
When they arrived at the yamen, Magistrate Liu was already waiting for them. They had agreed to do an autopsy today, so of course he had to wait.
"Yunshu, have you had breakfast?" Magistrate Liu asked in a good mood.
She really hadn't.
She rubbed her belly and asked, "What dishes?"
"Stewed pork ribs with potatoes, stir-fried celery with meat, and then stir-fried eggplant with soy sauce. If you want to eat with us, I'll add a steamed pig trotter."
"Are you sick? Eating such greasy food so early in the morning."
"…"
Magistrate Liu's expression stiffened. He was rendered speechless by Ji Yunshu's words. He felt as if a gust of cold wind had entered his teeth.
Ji Yunshu had already sat down and knocked on the table. "I only want stir-fried bamboo shoots and minced meat soup. It would be best if you add some cabbage. Hurry up and don't delay the autopsy."
"Alright, I'll give the order."
Magistrate Liu hurriedly summoned someone and told them the names of the dishes.
Soon after, he sat opposite Ji Yunshu and stared at her with a silly smile on his face.
'Are you sick?'
"Dong, dong …"
Suddenly, the sound of a drum could be heard coming from the yamen's entrance.
Someone was beating the drum!
Magistrate Liu looked nervous. Not long after, a yamen runner hurriedly ran in and pointed at the main gate. "Milord, someone is beating the drum."
"Who?"
"It's an idiot!"
'Idiot? Is it Wei Yi? '
Magistrate Liu asked, "Which idiot?"
The yamen runner answered, "It's the one from the Wei family. He said he's looking for Big Brother. He's at the entrance and won't leave."
