Solve a case
"Don't say anymore, don't say anymore …"
Madame Jiang's complexion became worse and worse. Her widened eyes carried a sense of resistance and fear.
No, it should be a humiliation!
At this moment, that noble aura seemed extremely deranged!
Ji Yunshu's thin lips curved upwards, showing no signs of stopping.
He continued, "The reason why you didn't report it to the authorities and buried the corpse with Li Zhao was because you knew very well that once you reported it to the authorities, they would find out that Master Jiang …"
Ji Yunshu choked on her words. She clenched her fists tightly under her sleeves until her fingertips turned white. Her sharp nails dug deep into her skin, as if she was going to squeeze out fresh blood.
Ji Yunshu glanced at Yu Sao, and the words stuck in her throat for a long time.
Say? Or not to say?
He struggled for a long time!
The rims of her eyes reddened once more. She shifted her gaze to Madame Jiang and slowly said, "Madame Jiang, you've known for a long time that Yu Sao's daughter, Ah Yu, has been … has been tainted by Lord Jiang at such a young age."
Defilement?
Huh?
Everyone was astonished, and they started to discuss and whisper to each other.
Jing Rong finally understood why Ji Yunshu pushed him out of that room yesterday.
So the truth was actually this cruel and unbearable!
As for the little girl, she was nestled in her mother's arms, motionless and lifeless.
Ji Yunshu said with tears in her eyes, "Two years ago, Ah Yu was only six years old. Her childhood should have been filled with joy and laughter. She should have gone fishing by the river, plucked wild fruits in the forest, flown kites, and made paper cuts. Her delicate and pretty face should have always carried a sweet smile. But all of this was completely destroyed by Master Jiang, a man who was worse than a beast!" Ji Yunshu said with tears in her eyes. "That's right.
At that moment, Yu Sao was hugging Ah Yu with a smile on her face. She gently patted Ah Yu's back.
"My good Ah Yu, be good and listen to me. Mother will bring you home soon. We'll go look at the rapeseed flowers and fly kites together. Mother will buy you your favorite candied haws. Don't be afraid. With Mother by your side, Mother will never let anyone hurt you again. Ah Yu, do you hear what Mother said?"
It really made one's heart ache to know their place!
Ji Yunshu's chest felt as if it was being burned by fire.
Avoiding that scene, she turned to Li Zhao, who was sitting paralyzed on the ground, and said, "You said that you were the only one who buried the corpse because you were clearly protecting Madame Jiang. You can't say it, and you don't dare say it. You and Madame Jiang are the same. You're both afraid that the Li family will be humiliated, and your face is greater than the heavens."
Li Zhao didn't say anything. His expression was extremely ugly and a bit stiff.
Madame Jiang sneered a few times.
He was a complete maniac!
She looked at Ji Yunshu with provocative eyes. "Teacher Ji, you're really amazing. You managed to uncover all the secrets I've been hiding for so long in just a few days."
Magistrate Liu's eyes lit up.
Does this mean that Madame Jiang has admitted it?
Magistrate Liu leaned forward and pointed at Madame Jiang. "Madame Jiang, do you admit that you saw Yu Sao kill someone? And then you buried the corpse with Li Zhao? "
Madame Jiang ignored the magistrate's words.
She was still looking at Ji Yunshu. Her legs, which were originally weak, were now full of strength. She took two steps towards Ji Yunshu, and her dark eyebrows revealed a trace of hatred.
"You're right, I saw it." As she spoke, she pointed at Yu Sao. "I saw her kill that animal with my own eyes. I saw her stab him not only once, but twice, thrice, countless times. I watched helplessly, but I didn't stop her. I even hoped … hoped that the animal died without a complete corpse. I shouldn't have buried him at that time. Instead, I should have thrown his corpse in the wilderness and let the wolves, tigers, and leopards devour him beyond recognition. I hate myself for not being more ruthless."
Extreme anger!
The current Madame Jiang was somewhat sinister!
The husband she spoke of was now a beast.
How could he be just a beast?
He's worse than a beast! '
Madame Jiang laughed a few more times and walked to Yu Sao. She slowly crouched down and reached out to touch Yu Sao's pale face.
"Poor Yu Sao, every time she saw her daughter being bullied, every time she saw her little body pressed under that bastard's body. She clearly heard her daughter's screams, but she still swallowed the insult and humiliation. Even until the end, she still had to endure it. Poor Yu Sao, poor Ah Yu."
Yu Sao acted as if she couldn't see her. Instead, she hugged Ah Yu even tighter.
Madame Jiang stood up and swept her eyes over the people in the hall. Her gaze finally fell on Magistrate Liu.
Magistrate Liu was startled by the look in his eyes.
Madame Jiang's hatred soared. Her hands, which were hidden in her sleeves, clenched into fists and trembled.
Her words were filled with hatred. "My Li family is a prestigious family that received the grace of the late emperor. However, I married a yin yang person. He's neither a man nor a woman. I've been childless for many years. This is already a disgrace to my Li family. Therefore, I could only endure and hide the fact that he's a yin yang person. However, I never thought that he would do such a thing. He wouldn't even let a child go. Ah Yu wasn't even ten years old yet …"
She paused.
She didn't finish her unspeakable words.
Ji Yunshu asked her, "Since you already knew, why didn't you immediately stop him? Why did you let him do such things to Ah Yu again and again? "
"Stop him? How could I stop him? That man is a beast. You can't stop him. " Madame Jiang turned around and looked at Yu Sao. "In order to continue living in the Jiang family, even Yu Sao herself endured it. What else can I say?"
Ji Yunshu finally understood why Yu Sao's guilt towards Ah Yu was so intense.
The result of a woman's forbearance was something she would never be able to predict!
Just like Suyun, endure! Endure! Endure!
In the end, the child in her belly was gone. Even her own life was gone!
Wasn't Yu Sao the same?
Now, the truth of the case had come to light.
Magistrate Liu took a deep breath.
He forcefully slammed the gavel.
"Guards! Madame Jiang knew the truth but didn't report it. Moreover, she conspired with Li Zhao to bury the corpse. For the time being, she will be detained in prison. I will report this to the Ministry of Justice to convict her."
Hearing this, Li Zhao panicked and sat up from the ground.
"No! I didn't kill anyone! You can't lock me up!"
"Take him away," Magistrate Liu berated.
Several yamen runners stepped forward and detained both Li Zhao and Madame Jiang before escorting them to prison.
"You can't arrest me!" Madame Jiang rebuked. Her expression was extremely sinister as she spoke to Magistrate Liu, "In any case, we are members of the Li family. So what if we lied about burying the corpse? If you dare to arrest me, I can guarantee that my Li family will not be able to keep your position. "
"Impudent!"
Jing Rong, who had been silent all this time, raised his hand and slammed the table. The teacups on the table clanged loudly.
Everyone's gazes shifted towards him.
Jing Rong had already taken a step forward and stood in front of Madame Jiang. His eagle-like eyes were filled with frost, like cold needles, causing people's hearts to tremble.
"Are you going to rebel against this Prince's order?"
His voice was intimidating!
Madame Jiang had almost forgotten that Prince Rong was still here.
"Even if the Li family is the descendant of a family of generals, don't tell me that your Li family still wants to overshadow the Emperor? Do you even want to remove this Prince's title? "
"…"
"Do you know that this is a crime of rebellion? If it's serious, your entire family will be executed!"
Madame Jiang's legs softened and her pupils suddenly widened.
Now, she couldn't even move out of her maternal family. Wouldn't that mean …
She accepted it!
She lowered her head and no longer struggled.
Seeing that she was obediently coming down, the yamen runners escorted her to the prison.
However, Madame Jiang stopped in front of Ji Yunshu.
With a gloomy tone, she said, "Teacher Ji, I admit that I have caused this situation today. However, there are some things that cannot be helped. Killing someone or concealing something isn't necessarily a crime. I believe that you are also a sentimental person. You should understand that some people deserve to die, and some don't, right?"
"What are you trying to say?"
She smiled. "Aren't you very smart? Then, I will wait and see. I want to see if you are really that smart. "
"…"
'What do you mean by that?'
"What do you mean?" Ji Yunshu asked.
Madame Jiang's originally miserable appearance was once again filled with provocation. "I hope that Teacher Ji will not disappoint me."
After saying that, Li Zhao and Madame Jiang were led out.
Ji Yunshu's heart thumped slightly, and her mind buzzed.
At this moment, Magistrate Liu looked at Yu Sao on the ground. He repeatedly shook his head and sighed. He simply looked away and waved his hand.
"Guards, bring Yu Sao to the prison as well. A life for a life is not to be forgiven."
"Yes."
A yamen runner stepped forward, but he hesitated. "Milord, this little girl …"
"Take her away. Take her away." He waved his hand again.
The yamen runner, who had received the order, pulled Yu Sao up from the ground while trying to snatch Ah Yu from her arms.
"Don't take my Ah Yu! Don't take my Ah Yu! You are all bad people! All of you, go away! Go away …"
Yu Sao struggled and tightly held onto Ah Yu, unwilling to let go.
As her movements increased, the stench emitted from Ah Yu's body became stronger.
The two yamen runners covered their noses and retreated a few steps. Yu Sao refused to let go, and the stench was too strong. They were at their wits' end.
Magistrate Liu glanced at them and could only say, "Forget it. Take her away as well."
Yu Sao hugged Ah Yu and hummed a tune in her ear.
In the end, she followed the yamen runners as if she had lost her soul.
Magistrate Liu also said, "Dismissed."
In a few moments, all the yamen runners left the hall.
However, Ji Yunshu looked pensive. Her expression was tightly twisted.
She didn't know if it was because she was a meticulous person, but she felt that Madame Jiang's words clearly meant something.
Could it be that she was just playing a psychological game?
After all, Madame Jiang was an intelligent person.
"Teacher Ji." Jing Rong, who was standing beside her, suddenly called out to her.
She pulled back her emotions and met Jing Rong's eyes. "Your Highness, do you have something to say?"
Jing Rong sternly said, "I just want to tell you not to let your emotions affect your decisions."
At that moment, Ji Yunshu felt that he was too frightening.
That pair of eyes seemed to be able to see through her in a split second. Whether it was her thoughts or her emotions, he seemed to be able to see through everything.
Yes, Yu Sao had indeed killed someone, but the net of justice was nothing more than a favor!
