Suicide by Biting His Tongue
The news of Cai Da's death quickly spread throughout Marquis Kang's estate.
At this moment, Mo Ruo was still reading in his room. Because of Tang Si's earlier ruckus, his mind was in a trance and he couldn't focus on his book. He would glance at the person on the bed, then immediately look away.
It was almost time to rest. He couldn't possibly squeeze into the same bed, could he?
But the two of them weren't married yet. What would it mean if they slept on the same bed?
He shook his head inwardly and quickly dismissed the idea. He looked around the room to see if there was a place for him to sleep, but other than the tables and chairs, the only other place was the floor. His waist wasn't good to begin with. Wouldn't it be torture if he slept on a hard table, chair, or the floor for the whole night?
That's unacceptable!
But if he slept in another room, he was worried that the lump of meat on the bed would be afraid and stick to him again.
Thus, he gave up on this idea.
Just as he was worrying about what to do, someone knocked on the door.
Knock, knock, knock.
It was very urgent!
"Who is it?"
"Young Master Mo, the Marquis invites you to the woodshed in the backyard."
Eh?
Why would he invite him to the woodshed in the middle of the night?
Mo Ruo tossed the book in his hand aside and got up to open the door.
"Why does the Marquis want me to go to the woodshed?"
The manservant's forehead was beaded with sweat. He lowered his head and said, "Young Master … you should go first."
His voice was trembling!
It was very strange.
Mo Ruo looked at him and thought for a moment. Then, he nodded and waved his sleeve. "Let's go."
But just as he took two steps out of the room, Tang Si pulled him back.
"I'll go with you."
When did this fellow come out?
Mo Ruo's gaze followed her hand that was tugging at his sleeve. That woman was looking at him with pleading eyes, but there was also an inexplicable sense of innocence.
Mo Ruo probably couldn't get rid of this sticky candy.
He brushed Tang Si's hand off his sleeve and said exasperatedly, "Don't cause trouble for me."
Tang Si smiled and said firmly, "I promise I won't."
The two of them followed the manservant to the backyard.
Late at night.
The maids and manservants rushed to the woodshed where Cai Da was being held captive.
All of them stood rooted to the ground, shivering in fear!
Some people wanted to leave, but they were worried that they would run into some dirty things if they returned to their houses alone. Therefore, they could only hide in the crowd.
Among them, there were also people discussing in low voices.
"Did you go in and take a look? How did he die? "
"How would I dare to go in? I just heard that Cai Da's tongue was cut off. The part that fell off was bloody and disgusting."
"His tongue is broken? How did his tongue break? " The man shrank back, his eyes filled with fear as he glanced around the room. He swallowed his saliva and said in a low voice, "Could it really be … a ghost?"
The person beside him was startled. "Don't be so paranormal. Teacher Ji has already said that there are no ghosts in this world. It's all people who scare people."
"Do you really believe what that Teacher Ji said? Just because she said there was no ghost, it didn't mean there was a ghost? If it wasn't for the ghosts, how would they solve the recent problems in the mansion? Moreover, two people had died consecutively today! What do you mean? "
This!
The man shuddered.
He didn't know how to respond.
Meanwhile, in the woodshed, Marquis Kang was frowning deeply as he looked at the dead Cai Da sitting on the ground. He pinched his nose, his expression ugly. It wasn't because he was afraid, but because Cai Da's death was too disgusting and disgusting.
After a while, when his stomach felt a little better, he turned to ask the two servants who were guarding Cai Da, "Did anyone come in during this period?"
"No … no."
"Did you not hear anything at all?"
"No."
Marquis Kang was furious. "What the hell are you doing? I told you to keep watch. Why did he suddenly die? "
The two servants hurriedly knelt on the ground, their hands in front of them as they said anxiously, "Marquis, we really don't know."
"Tell me, did you sneak back to your rooms instead of standing guard outside?"
"No, we really didn't go back to our rooms. We listened to Marquis's orders and stood guard outside the woodshed. We didn't dare to be careless and didn't take a single step out."
You're being wrongly accused!
Marquis Kang's gaze turned serious and he sighed deeply. "Get up."
Only then did the two servants stand up shakily.
Marquis Kang asked again, "Did you invite Teacher Ji and Young Master Mo?"
"Yes, we did."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Yunshu and Jing Rong arrived.
The two of them were waiting for Marquis Kang and Cai Da to arrive, but they didn't expect Cai Da to be dead, so they hurried over.
What they were worried about really happened!
Now that Cai Da was dead, it was impossible to find out what happened on the night of Granny Lin's death.
Marquis Kang's frown deepened when he saw the two of them. He stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, Teacher Ji, look …"
He glanced at the corpse on the ground from the corner of his eyes.
I saw it!
I saw it!
Cai Da's corpse was a disgusting sight.
His mouth was full of blood!
His tongue was on the ground!
His eyes were wide open.
Ji Yunshu's expression darkened as she squatted down to examine the corpse.
His squatting caused all the servants and maids to sigh in amazement. They all thought to themselves that Teacher Ji was truly a daring person. Not only did he touch Granny Lin's corpse, but now, he even dared to look at Cai Da's corpse without the slightest bit of fear. What a daring person!
They didn't know that Ji Yunshu had seen many corpses that were even more disgusting than this one.
While she was examining the corpse, Jing Rong asked the guard he had sent to bring Cai Da, "When did this happen?"
The guard replied, "When Your Highness sent this subordinate to bring him here, but I don't know how long he has been dead."
Jing Rong nodded and didn't ask any further.
Ji Yunshu stared at Cai Da's round eyes and found that his eyeballs weren't cloudy. She pinched his limbs and found that they weren't stiff, so he should have died not long ago.
Then, she tilted her head and looked at Jing Rong. "Your Highness, this humble one needs your help."
Needless to say, it was an autopsy. After all, that woman's hand was still wrapped in gauze.
Jing Rong obediently squatted down beside her. "Speak. How do I do it?"
"Pry open his mouth. I want to take a look."
"What do you want to see?"
"His tongue."
Then, Ji Yunshu took out a handkerchief and handed it to him. "Hold on tight."
Jing Rong took a deep breath and took the handkerchief. He placed it on his hand and stretched out two fingers. Through the handkerchief, he pinched Cai Da's cheeks from top to bottom. With a slight force, he opened Cai Da's mouth.
As he pried open Cai Da's mouth, viscous blood flowed out. Fortunately, the handkerchief blocked it.
Ji Yunshu stretched her head forward and looked at the bloody mouth.
His originally yellowed teeth were now covered in blood. Between his lips and teeth, there were dense streaks of blood that stuck together. A large chunk of his tongue was missing. It was a horrifying sight. The cut was not even. It was obvious that it wasn't cut by a sharp object. He really did bite his tongue to commit suicide.
Thus, she concluded, "He has been dead for almost four hours. He really did bite his tongue to commit suicide."
Jing Rong loosened his grip on Cai Da's cheeks and closed his eyes.
