'Left handed?
To win a beauty's smile? '
Ji Yunshu's expression stiffened.
At this moment, Wei Yi walked over and looked at Jing Rong from head to toe.
"I've seen you before. Last time, at the Grand … Grand Canal Manor, I saw you."
It was as if he had seen an old friend.
Jing Rong looked at him and faintly smiled. "I've seen you too."
'That's a love rival!'
Wei Yi smiled at him. "My name is Wei Yi."
"I know. A seat, a person's part."
"You're really smart." Wei Yi gave him a thumbs up.
'This child!'
Although Jing Rong regarded him as a love rival, Wei Yi wasn't a bad person. Naturally, Jing Rong wouldn't target him.
At this moment, the shopkeeper had already wrapped up the brush and ink. He carefully handed it over to Jing Rong.
Jing Rong took it and handed it over to Ji Yunshu. "Teacher Ji, good things need to be matched with people who know how to use them. I hope you won't refuse my good intentions."
Ji Yunshu really didn't dare to accept this kind of good intentions.
It understood that one shouldn't accept undeserved rewards.
If she accepted this gift, it would be equivalent to her agreeing to follow him back to the capital.
"Teacher Ji, this gift has no other meaning. You don't need to worry too much."
"…"
The next moment, before Ji Yunshu could accept it, Wei Yi, who was standing beside her, took it.
He proudly said to Ji Yunshu, "Shu 'er, this big brother is giving it to you. You should accept it. My father said that gifts for begging can't be accepted, but gifts with sincerity can be accepted. Shu' er, I'll hold it for you. It's very heavy."
Ji Yunshu didn't even have time to stop him. The brush and ink were already firmly held by Wei Yi.
"Wei Yi, why are you …" Ji Yunshu was slightly angry.
"Shu 'er, this is very heavy. I'll hold it for you." He emphasized again.
She was speechless.
However, Jing Rong's complexion was a bit green.
He asked Wei Yi, "What did you call her?"
'Oh my god, this is your main point!'
Wei Yi naively replied, "Shu 'er. She's Shu' er, so of course I should call her Shu 'er!"
This was a hundred times more intimate than calling her 'Yunshu'!
Jing Rong stared at Ji Yunshu with eyes full of jealousy.
Ji Yunshu was startled by his stare and felt a slight headache. She snatched the brush and ink from Wei Yi's hands and stuffed them into Jing Rong's hands.
"Thank you for your kindness, Young Master. Brushes and ink are too precious and not suitable for me." She then pulled Wei Yi along, "Let's go."
The two of them hurriedly left Treasured Ink House.
Jing Rong was furious. He threw the brush and ink in his hand to Lang Po and chased after them.
Coincidentally, they bumped into a yamen runner at the same time they were about to go out.
"Ah, it's great that you're here, Teacher Ji." The runner panted anxiously.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"Sir … Sir wants you to go to the prison."
"Why are we going to prison?"
"It's that Yu Sao. She's still hugging her daughter's corpse. It's so smelly. We've tried to talk her out of it, but she wouldn't listen. So, Master asked us to find you. He said you have a lot of ideas."
She didn't have many ideas!
He had a lot of knives to cut up corpses!
However, after thinking about it, Ji Yunshu still nodded. "Alright, I'll go now."
Unexpectedly, Wei Yi pulled her. "Shu 'er, where are you going?"
"Wei Yi, do you know the way back?"
He shook his head. "I don't."
She had no choice but to say, "Alright, come with me."
"Alright, I'll go with you."
Just as she finished speaking, Jing Rong caught up to her and said, "I'll go with you."
'Hey, hey, hey! That's the prison! Are we going to join in the fun?'
But in the end, everyone went together!
Ji Yunshu was worried that Wei Yi would feel uncomfortable inside, so she asked the two jailers to take care of him.
Jing Rong also left Lang Po outside.
He even specifically told him to take good care of Wei Yi.
'Why is there a hidden force in his tone?'
Ji Yunshu didn't think too much about it and followed the jailer inside.
Jing Rong followed behind her.
It was as if he was used to the damp prison. He didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
When they arrived outside Yu Sao's prison, the stench became even more unbearable. It was pungent and disgusting!
Ji Yunshu wrinkled her nose and furrowed her pretty brows. She looked into the prison cell.
She saw Yu Sao's back facing her. Her arms were wrapped around Ah Yu and she was still swaying back and forth, humming a tune.
"Open the cell," said Ji Yunshu.
The jailer paused for a moment. "This …"
"If you don't open the cell, how can I carry Ah Yu out?"
'That's right!'
The jailer smiled awkwardly and unlocked the chain on the door.
Ji Yunshu was about to go in, but Jing Rong pulled her back.
"I'll go in first."
It wasn't a request, it was an order!
In the end, he was worried about this woman's safety.
He pulled Ji Yunshu behind him and went in first.
Inside the prison cell, the stench was so strong that it was difficult to open one's eyes.
The two of them slowly approached Yu Sao. They didn't make any excessive movements to prevent the woman from going crazy.
"Yu Sao," Ji Yunshu called out softly.
There was no response.
Ji Yunshu took another step forward. She bent down slightly and stretched out her hand to touch Yu Sao's shoulder.
The moment her slender fingers touched Yu Sao's shoulder, Yu Sao suddenly turned her head.
Her bloodshot eyes were fiercely glaring at her.
It made people's hair stand on end.
At that moment, Ji Yunshu was already behind Jing Rong, protecting her.
Both of them were shocked by Yu Sao's eyes.
"Yu Sao?"
"You are all evil people. Only he, only he treats me the best!"
'Huh?
'Him?
Who is he? '
Ji Yunshu had an ominous premonition, and her heart was in turmoil.
She asked, "Who is he?"
Yu Sao smiled coldly. She turned her eyes to her daughter and started crying again.
"Ah Yu, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. You must forgive me. You must forgive me."
Ji Yunshu didn't give up. She pushed Jing Rong away and squatted in front of Yu Sao. She pulled her arm and continued to ask, "Is there something you haven't told me? Tell me, isn't it? Who is this' him 'that you're talking about? "
Yu Sao burst into laughter. Her demented expression returned. She ignored Ji Yunshu and hugged Ah Yu even tighter.
She murmured, "Ah Yu, it doesn't hurt. It won't hurt at all. It will be over soon. My dear Ah Yu, I'm sorry. Please don't be angry. I'll sing you a nursery rhyme from my hometown. After I sing it, you won't hurt anymore."
"Yu Sao, Ah Yu is already dead. If you know anything, you must tell me. Yu Sao …"
"It doesn't hurt anymore. It doesn't hurt anymore. My Ah Yu doesn't hurt anymore."
Yu Sao repeated these few words over and over again.
Ji Yunshu clenched her teeth and reached out to hug Ah Yu. She clasped her slender waist and pulled Ah Yu in her direction.
Yu Sao became vigilant the moment she stealthily exerted her strength.
"What are you doing? She's my Ah Yu. Don't take my Ah Yu away. Don't … "
Yu Sao's eyes widened in agitation. Her expression was ferocious. She hugged Ah Yu tightly and lowered her chin to her head, refusing to let go.
Just now, Ji Yunshu was secretly taking the child away.
Jing Rong, who was watching from the side, was dumbfounded.
However, it was futile.
Jing Rong reached out his hand to pull her up from the ground. "Don't do this. She won't listen to you. Don't hurt yourself."
Ji Yunshu twisted her body to avoid his hand that was reaching for her.
'No, I still have to try.
If the hard way doesn't work, I'll use the soft way! '
Her expression was solemn. She took a deep breath and slowly said, "Yu Sao, I won't take Ah Yu away from you. I just want to take her to rest. You see, she's already asleep. It's very cold here and she will catch a cold. Can you give her to me? I'll carry her to rest so that she won't feel cold."
"No … No, Ah Yu is mine. She's mine …"
"You see, Ah Yu is really cold. She's shivering. She doesn't want to stay here. If it's for her own good, can you give her to me?"
Yu Sao's eyes flickered with hesitation. She slowly loosened her grip on Ah Yu and touched Ah Yu's face. Suddenly, she shivered.
"Yes, my Ah Yu is really cold."
"Can you let me hold her? When she wakes up, I'll bring her to you."
"Really?"
Ji Yunshu nodded. "Really. I promise. When she wakes up, I'll bring her here."
'But Ah Yu won't wake up!'
After a moment of hesitation, Yu Sao finally let go.
The moment she let go, Ji Yunshu carried Ah Yu. She stood up and retreated a few steps. She was afraid that Yu Sao would change her mind and snatch Ah Yu away from her.
But Yu Sao was very quiet. After letting go of Ah Yu, she just sat there in a daze. She didn't do anything and didn't say anything.
She was extremely quiet.
It was as if Ah Yu didn't exist in her world at this moment.
Ji Yunshu retreated a few steps and exited the cell. When Jing Rong came out, the jailer immediately locked the cell.
The jailer pinched his nose and gave Ji Yunshu a thumbs up. "Teacher Ji, you are really amazing. We tried to persuade her for a long time, but we still couldn't persuade her."
Ji Yunshu carried Ah Yu, who was as light as a feather. Although the stench was very strong, she didn't mind it. Instead, she felt very distressed.
"Give it to me."
Jing Rong said as he took Ah Yu from her hands.
He didn't show the slightest disdain.
The jailer didn't know Jing Rong, so he wasn't surprised. Instead, he pointed at the prison where the jailer rested. "There is a cloth over there. Carry Ah Yu over and send her to the memorial hall."
'Commanding the prince, you brat! Are you tired of living?!'
But Jing Rong wasn't angry at all!
He carried Ah Yu over and placed her on the white cloth.
Although Ji Yunshu was surprised by his action, she was also touched. When she saw him place Ah Yu on the white cloth, she wanted to say thank you.
However, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of Ah Yu's open palms.
She was shocked!
Without saying anything, she pulled Ah Yu's hands up and spread them flat.
Her left palm was rough and covered with layers of calluses. Moreover, the lines on the palm were very obvious.
But her right hand was different. It didn't have many calluses, and the palm was soft and solid.
"Ah Yu is left-handed!"
Ji Yunshu was surprised by her conclusion. Jing Rong didn't understand.
"What do you mean?"
"Do you remember the position of the twenty cuts on Master Jiang's skeleton?"
