Just a beginner?
She could tell with her naked eyes whether the jade in the stone was real or fake. She was even more amazing than an expert.
Jing Rong looked at her with astonishment and admiration.
He thought to himself, 'What's in this woman's head?'
On the other side, Wen Xian ignored the experts who tried to dissuade him. Since he had already paid, he let Old Zhao carry the stone to his residence.
Then he left.
Yes, after buying a piece of broken stone, he left just like that!
Those experts were still pointing fingers at him behind his back, saying that he had been cheated by Old Zhao and had spent money to buy a fake stone.
"Young Master Wen spent money to buy a stone."
"Isn't that right!"
"A hundred taels of silver, what a waste."
…
Chatter broke out among the crowd.
Old Zhao laughed at those people for not knowing what was good for them. They even said that the stone must be a top-grade jade.
Everyone snorted and dispersed like a swarm of bees.
Seeing that everyone had left, Ji Yunshu asked Jing Rong.
"Are you still following?"
Jing Rong didn't say anything and glanced at the street below. When he saw Wen Xian leaving the Flying Crane House, he stood up.
"Of course."
The two of them were about to go downstairs. When they passed by Old Zhao, he was also about to go downstairs with the stone.
Thus, the three of them bumped into each other.
"Make way, make way …" Old Zhao yelled at the top of his lungs.
Then, he carried the stone and skipped down the stairs in front of Jing Rong and Jing Rong.
Although Ji Yunshu's shoulder was bumped, she was fine.
"Are you alright?"
He shook his head.
The two of them went downstairs.
They quietly followed behind Wen Xian.
As expected, Wen Xian followed the prescribed order. After leaving the Flying Crane House, he turned a corner and went to a medical center. After entering, the medical center's attendant welcomed him and smiled politely at him.
"Young Master Wen is here to collect medicine."
It was a greeting from an old acquaintance.
He nodded and walked to the front of the medicine cabinet. He saw that the tall cabinet had been divided into small medicine drawers, and inside them, there were all kinds of medicinal herbs.
Famous and expensive!
Common!
Extremely rare!
It had everything!
He stretched out his finger and knocked on the counter a few times. He said to the attendant, "This time, get double the amount of medicine."
"Alright. Please wait a moment, Young Master Wen. I'll get the medicine for you."
The apprentice did not need to look at the prescription. He nimbly grabbed the herbs and tied the two bags of herbs with a string before handing them to Wen Xian.
Wen Xian took out some silver and gave it to him.
"Take care, Young Master Wen."
He just nodded with a straight face and walked away.
In the past few years, Wen Xian would come over every other day, regardless of the weather. Every time, he would only grab one dose of medicine.
But today, he had caught twice as much.
After he came out, he went directly in the direction of his house.
Ji Yunshu wanted to go in and ask him what kind of medicine he had, but Jing Rong stopped her. "We're in disguise right now. If you go in like this, won't we attract attention? Moreover, there is a rule in the medical center that we cannot divulge the patient's prescription. Even if you ask them, they won't tell you. "
Because this was the rule of Mo Ruo's Yuhua Pavilion!
It made sense.
Therefore, she gave up on this idea.
She continued to follow him.
Wen Xian's house was neither big nor small. It was very elegant and was made of wood and bamboo. It was located in a very quiet and secluded location. There was a small river beside the house that was filled with clear water. It was surrounded by mountains on three sides. Beside the river, there was a small pavilion.
This place was indeed a good place!
It was even more suitable for cultivating the body and mind than Teacher Yu's Mingshan Academy.
After Wen Xian went in, he put down the medicine he had caught and came out with a pot of wine. Without a moment's delay, he went to the lakeside outside the city. He sat on a big rock and drank while gazing at the rippling water in the distance.
'This person is really strange!'
If one were to say that he was a traveling merchant, yet he didn't manage his business.
Strange!
If one were to say that he was a refined and elegant young master, yet he didn't stay in his elegant courtyard. Instead, he went to restaurants all day and sat here.
Strange!
Jing Rong and Ji Yunshu followed him for a day, but they didn't find anything strange.
The two of them were in a bamboo forest, watching the lonely figure from afar.
"He sits like this every day. Is he waiting for someone? Or is he cultivating his mind? "Jing Rong muttered.
Ji Yunshu silently observed and began to analyze, "His behavior pattern and routine are almost all repetitive. From a psychological point of view, such a person must have suffered some kind of injury or trauma in the past, and that incident must have made him very regretful and guilty, so he hasn't been able to get over it all these years."
What is psychology?
Is there such a thing?
Jing Rong didn't understand what it was, but he understood the meaning of her words. He also analyzed it in his mind.
Finally, he came to a conclusion.
"Ye 'er's matter!"
"That's right." Ji Yunshu was certain. "From the beginning to the end, he always wore that flute, and his palm would occasionally protect that jade pendant. That jade pendant is actually a pair with the one in Miss Ye 'er's hand. If my guess is correct, the reason why he came here every other day is most likely because of Ye' er. Hmm … in other words, he misses her."
"He's infatuated."
"Not necessarily. If he really is infatuated, why didn't he stand up after Ye 'er gave birth to the child? Why did he watch helplessly as Ye 'er became a songstress? I think he might … be feeling guilty because of Ye 'er's death, so it became a knot in his heart. "
Thinking about it, it made people feel a little pitiful.
The most painful thing in the world is love.
Jing Rong suddenly thought of something. His deep eyes narrowed. "There's one thing that I couldn't figure out before, but now it seems to make sense."
Hmm?
Ji Yunshu tilted her head to look at him. "What do you mean?"
"Didn't you say that he was the person who escaped from the window at that time? If it's true, think about it. Why did Wen Xian knock Ye 'er unconscious when she was about to tell Qiao Zihua something? Could it be because the matter Ye 'er wanted to tell him might be related to Wen Xian? "
"…"
Jing Rong continued, "And the matter related to Wen Xian is only related to the disaster relief funds."
Huh!
At that moment, Ji Yunshu was slightly startled.
Her beautiful brows frowned slightly, and her mind sank. "So, what you mean is that Ye 'er might have found out about his secret and wanted to report it to the authorities, but for some reason she couldn't go, so she thought of Qiao Zihua? She wanted to tell him about it and let him report it to the authorities? "
"That could be it."
"In fact, Aunty Xie mentioned that Ye 'er came home very late one night and cried her heart out. Could it be … that it was because of this?"
Jing Rong curled his lips. "If that's the case, then those things can be connected."
But —
"If that's the case, why did he steal the disaster relief funds? How did he steal it? Why did he kill those officials, and why did he kill you? "
