Not a person of mediocrity
The truth always made people sigh endlessly.
The truth always made people sigh endlessly.
At this moment, Yu Sao's eyes were no longer filled with guilt. Instead, they were filled with jealousy and hatred.
She was jealous of her own daughter. She was jealous of Master Jiang's' favor 'while she was left out in the cold.
This kind of perverted mentality was simply indescribable.
Yu Sao burst into laughter after listening to Ji Yunshu's words, revealing her fangs like those of a jackal.
Her hands, which were originally raised in the air, suddenly grabbed the wooden stake in front of her. Her long nails dug into the wooden stake and pressed against her flesh. In an instant, blood covered the stake.
"He actually loved me. He should have loved me. Everyone looked down on him for being a hermaphrodite. I was the only one who didn't despise him. I treated him so well. Why did he marry someone else? Why did he like my Ah Yu and not me? Why, why … "
Yu Sao was agitated, but her laughter was also very miserable.
At this moment, Ji Yunshu really wished for this woman to die. Even if she died a hundred times, or even ten thousand times, it wouldn't be a pity.
However …
Yu Sao continued, "It's not just Master, even my husband is the same. He clearly said he loved me, but he secretly cheated on me with another woman. He deserves to die. He deserves to be torn apart by five horses."
'Ugh!'
Ji Yunshu suddenly recalled the dream she had. A chill ran down her spine. She trembled as she asked, "So, you killed your husband?"
"He deserved to die. He was the same as Ah Yu. So, I used a knife and killed him in front of Ah Yu. I even dug out his eyeballs and fed them to Ah Yu. Ah Yu said it was delicious. I also ate it. Yes, it was really delicious! "
"You are really cruel."
"Are you as cruel as those men?" Yu Sao roared, "I thought Master treated me sincerely. He liked Ah Yu, so I let him take her away. I saw my Ah Yu moaning under Master's body. I was very sad. I was sad that Master didn't want me. I was so good to him, so why …"
Yu Sao madly slapped the wooden stake after she finished speaking.
This Yu Sao was no longer a pervert.
She was a soulless, thoughtless, and emotionless body.
Ji Yunshu tried her best to remain calm. Her eyes were red and moist as she tried to suppress her emotions.
He asked her, "Do you really not feel any remorse?"
Yu Sao smiled and took a few steps back until she reached the ice-cold wall. She giggled and slowly crouched down. Her bloody fingernails were mixed with sawdust as she frantically scratched her face.
He did not say another word!
He began to hum a tune!
Yes, she did not regret it!
Ji Yunshu retreated a few steps. Her hands, hidden in her sleeves, were clenched into fists. Her sharp nails dug deep into her skin.
At this time, Magistrate Liu and the others walked out. Everyone had a solemn expression on their faces, and their mood was very gloomy!
Magistrate Liu glanced at Yu Sao before shifting his gaze to Ji Yunshu. He sighed and said, "Yunshu, I know you are not in a good mood right now. Leave the follow-up matters to me."
She didn't reply. She turned sideways and left the area. When she turned the corner, she saw Jing Rong still standing there, looking at her with a distressed expression.
But she didn't say anything. Her expression was solemn as she walked past him.
Unexpectedly, Jing Rong grabbed her wrist.
Jing Rong said, "If your heart is in pain, there is no need to hide it. Say it, and you will feel better."
"I'm fine."
Ji Yunshu said faintly. She withdrew her hand and returned to Ah Yu's corpse.
Jing Rong silently followed behind her.
Looking at Ah Yu's corpse, Ji Yunshu felt terrible. She smiled bitterly and said, "Perhaps, this is the best ending for Ah Yu. Death is also a kind of release."
Jing Rong looked at her. Her originally cold and indifferent face, as if she was wearing an ice mask, was now filled with the most fragile sentiments of the human heart. It was hidden in her clear and moist eyes. It made people feel pity for her, but it also made people feel helpless.
This kind of woman was kind-hearted!
When the wall she built in her heart was toppled, what was revealed was a deep emotion that was like a millennia old wine.
Jing Rong said, "The truth has been revealed. Let Ah Yu go peacefully."
"Okay."
She nodded and slowly covered Ah Yu's corpse with a piece of white cloth.
Then, she frowned and said to Jing Rong, "There is still one thing I don't understand."
"Are you talking about Madame Jiang?"
"Yes. Why did she lie? Also, did Seventh Uncle's death have anything to do with Madame Jiang? "
Jing Rong said, "Since you want to know, why don't you ask her now?"
'That's right!'
Ji Yunshu called for a jailer and asked him to lead them to Madame Jiang's cell.
Madame Jiang's cell was in the opposite direction of Yu Sao's. Ji Yunshu thought it was strange. Only when they arrived at Madame Jiang's cell did she understand.
How was this a prison? It was clearly an inner room that had been renovated.
It was clean and tidy, and there was even a window!
There was a bed, a quilt, a table, a chair, and even a teapot and teacups. Everything was there.
Madame Jiang was leisurely brewing tea.
When she saw Ji Yunshu and Jing Rong, she pursed her lips and smiled.
She didn't even raise her head and said, "Your Highness, please forgive this commoner for not being able to greet you."
Jing Rong coldly smiled. "Madame Jiang seems to be quite carefree. You even have the mood to drink tea."
"Your Highness is mistaken. I am not drinking tea. This cell is emitting a foul stench. I can only use tea to diffuse the stench. After all, I am not in the mood to drink tea in this kind of place."
"If it wasn't an extremely vicious and heinous person, how could they be locked up in this place? Madame Jiang, you buried the corpse without reporting it. You even hid the truth about the murderer. This kind of place should really lock you up for a few years."
Although Jing Rong's words were mixed with a smile, it was clear that it was cold to the bone.
After listening to his words, Madame Jiang seemed to understand what he meant.
She looked at Ji Yunshu. "It seems that Teacher Ji already knows the truth."
Ji Yunshu put away her previous discomfort and coldly asked.
"Why didn't you tell me yesterday?"
"Why?" Madame Jiang picked up the teapot and poured tea into the teacups. She answered, "In fact, before yesterday, I didn't want to tell you the truth because of the Li family's reputation. But yesterday, when I saw Yu Sao and heard you say that she was the murderer, did you know? In fact, I was very happy. "
Ji Yunshu continued, "The reason why you were happy was because you pitied Ah Yu. She is already dead, and you don't want her to be the murderer. Moreover, you want Yu Sao to die. Both reasons exist, so you don't want to clarify the truth for her, right?"
Ji Yunshu took two steps forward and stood in front of the wooden pillar. She was only two fists away from it.
Madame Jiang wasn't moved by her words. She picked up the teacup and scattered the tea on the ground.
Her gaze fell on the ground. "That night, I bumped into Ah Yu. I asked her where you were going, and she told me. She said that she wanted to kill that bastard just like how her mother killed her father. She was only six years old, but I saw despair and killing intent in her eyes that I had never seen before. I didn't stop her. I watched helplessly as she stabbed that bastard's body. After she left, I walked in front of that bastard. His eyes were still wide open as he stared at me. I didn't feel the slightest bit of sympathy for him. I felt that even death couldn't wipe away his crimes!"
She smiled as she said this.
Ji Yunshu asked again, "Then, what about Seventh Uncle?"
Madame Jiang put down the teacup and finally looked at Ji Yunshu. "Teacher Ji, I know what you want to say. I can tell you that there are indeed many coincidences in this world. Seventh Uncle really died of illness. I didn't kill him."
"Can I still believe your words now?"
"You should be suspicious of me, but I don't need to lie anymore." Madame Jiang stood up and walked over to Ji Yunshu. Her elegant face carried an appreciative smile. "Teacher Ji, you are the smartest person I have ever met."
Ji Yunshu's expression didn't change. "What do you want to say?"
"I hope that one day, I will be able to meet Teacher Ji in the capital. At that time, I hope to have a drink with you."
Ji Yunshu was annoyed.
'The capital! It's the capital again!
I'm not interested in the capital! '
Jing Rong suddenly interjected. "Madame Jiang, although you didn't kill anyone, the crimes of burying a corpse and lying are not small. It's not certain whether you can return to the capital."
But she didn't think so. Her maiden home was still there. At most, she would be locked up for two days.
She changed the topic and said to Jing Rong, "Your Highness, an intelligent person like Teacher Ji is really not suitable to stay in this small Jinjiang city. If Your Highness appreciates talent, you should keep him by your side and use him for your own use. Bring him to the capital."
Jing Rong was very pleased with her words.
Jing Rong glanced at Ji Yunshu and the corner of his mouth curled. "Even without your reminder, this Prince will spend a lot of effort to persuade Teacher Ji. I hope that he will be willing to stay by my side and return to the capital with me."
Ji Yunshu was speechless. She took a step back and distanced herself from Madame Jiang.
She said, "Since Madame Jiang told me everything I wanted to know, I won't stay any longer. I won't disturb Madame Jiang from making tea and relieving the stench in the prison."
Ji Yunshu turned around and was about to leave. But after three steps, she was stopped by Madame Jiang.
"Teacher Ji, although Jinjiang is a clean lotus pond, with lotus flowers as its companion, tranquil and carefree, snow in winter and fog in summer, you are not a creature of the pond."
"…"
'Hey, Madame Jiang, how many benefits did Jing Rong give you? Why are you blindly encouraging me to go to the capital?'
Ji Yunshu was too lazy to reply and left.
Jing Rong glanced at Madame Jiang before turning around and leaving.
The two of them left the prison. It was snowing outside.
Wei Yi, who had been waiting outside, was sitting in a corner. Lang Po was standing in front of him.
Seeing Ji Yunshu come out, Wei Yi got up and ran over.
"Shu 'er!"
He was extremely happy.
But he wrinkled his nose and looked at Jing Rong with slight disgust. "Big Brother, you are so smelly!"
Jing Rong's face immediately turned ugly.
He had been in a prison cell and even hugged Ah Yu's corpse. How could he not stink?
