As the lotus seed soup spilled onto the floor, Hua Ling fell to the ground, hitting the back of her head against the corner of the table.
There was a dull thud.
Ji Yunshu hugged her knees and sobbed uncontrollably.
The impact had left blood on the back of her head and a bloodstain on the corner of the table behind her.
Yu Dali frowned as he tidied up his disheveled clothes. Seeing Hua Ling sitting on the floor crying, he couldn't get angry.
He asked, "Tell me, what's wrong with you?"
"…"
Continue crying!
"You …"
At this moment, Hua Ling suddenly got up from the floor and rushed out.
Yu Dali was dumbfounded.
So Hua Ling really didn't die at that time?
Was everything as Yu Dali had said?
Ji Yunshu wanted to chase after Hua Ling to find out what had happened to her.
But when she took a step forward to chase after him, her body seemed to be fixed in place by something, unable to move. She felt as if she was choking on water, and a suffocating feeling locked her throat, making it hard for her to breathe. Her body lost all strength, and she fell softly to the ground.
Falling into an endless abyss.
Slowly, he fell down …
Falling down …
Falling …
Pfft —
She abruptly sat up in the bathtub, splashing water everywhere. She pressed her chest with all her might and gasped for air.
Her forehead was already covered in sweat. Or was it water?
She saw the scenery in front of her clearly. She was still in the room, still in the bathtub.
So everything that happened just now was just a 'dream' based on the clues Yu Dali had told her? But if this dream was real, where did Hua Ling go after leaving the room?
And why did she have to beg Yu Dali again and again to fulfill her wish?
Hearing a loud noise from inside, Bamboo Basket hurried in and asked through the screen, "Miss, what's wrong?"
Worry!
Ji Yun calmed down for a while before replying, "I'm fine."
"This servant is at the door. Just call me if you need anything."
"Mm."
After Bamboo Basket left, Ji Yunshu got out of the bathtub and put on her clothes. She walked to the window and called out, "Ziran?"
Shi Ziran, who had been secretly protecting her, was on the roof.
Hearing her call out to him, he didn't move. He only kicked a piece of tile with his foot.
The tiles smashed onto the ground and shattered into pieces with a "bang".
This prodigal child!
Ji Yunshu frowned slightly. She looked up and ordered, "I want you to go to the Yu Residence and help me with something."
Then, Shi Ziran came down.
Half of his body leaned against the wall. "Speak."
…
An hour later —
Yu Residence.
The servants in the mansion had already gone to bed one after another.
Mumu finished her work in the front yard and returned to the house. She was about to rest when suddenly someone covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief.
"Wu wu wu …"
He struggled with all his might.
Fruitless!
The strong smell of the handkerchief gradually made her faint.
When she woke up, her surroundings were pitch black.
He couldn't even see his own fingers!
Her heart shuddered.
"Huh? Where was this? Is anyone there? Is there anyone? "she shouted desperately, and began to feel about in the dark.
The surroundings were empty.
There was nothing to touch.
That feeling made her more and more afraid …
Suddenly —
A beam of light flashed in front of him and hit a white-clothed woman not far away.
Ugh!
Her eyes widened in fear.
The white-clothed woman's long hair fluttered in the wind. Her head was lowered, and her face couldn't be seen.
Mumu trembled in fear. "You … Who are you?"
The white-clothed woman slowly raised her head, revealing a pale face. A pair of eyes mixed with black blood stared straight at him.
It was frighteningly cold.
"Ah!" Mumu screamed.
"Mumu, don't you recognize me?"
A familiar voice!
A familiar figure!
This …
Mumu's eyes were filled with fear and disbelief. "You … You're Hualing?"
"Why did you harm me?"
"I didn't harm you."
"Why did you kill me? Why? "
Mumu's voice trembled. He was so scared that his eyeballs were about to fall out. "I … really didn't. No … I killed you, not me …"
The white-clothed woman continued. "I treated you like a sister. Why did you harm me?"
Mumu suddenly knelt on the ground. "It wasn't me. It really wasn't me. Don't look for me. I beg you, Hualing, I beg you. Don't look for me."
"If you didn't kill me, why won't you tell the truth?"
"The truth?" Mumu's forehead was on the ground. She didn't dare to look at the white-clothed woman's eyes. "I'm telling the truth. It's the truth."
The white-clothed woman suddenly floated in front of her and shouted, "You're lying!"
Mumu looked up and met the woman's eyes. Her whole body flipped backward. Her hands were on the ground, and she was so scared that she started twitching.
"Do you know that I died so miserably? It was really cold inside that wall, so cold …"
The white-clothed woman reached out to her.
Mumu cried, "I'm sorry, Hualing. I'm really sorry. I didn't want to, I really didn't! I beg you, let me go. "
She kowtowed again and again!
Her head was bleeding!
The white-clothed woman said, "Tell me, did you kill me that year?"
"It wasn't me. It was him. He killed you."
It was him?
As soon as she finished speaking —
The darkness surrounding them was suddenly lifted. It was a huge piece of black cloth. It was peeled off like an eggshell, revealing the light outside.
Mumu was different!
But she couldn't react.
It wasn't until she adapted that she clearly saw the white-clothed woman in front of her. It turned out that she was a living person.
And the surroundings turned out to be the backyard of the Yu residence.
The backyard was surrounded by people. Her master, Yu Wei, and Ji Yunshu were in the hall looking at her.
So … it was a play!
At that moment, Mumu was completely disheartened.
She sat on the ground, her face ashen.
The white-clothed woman took off the wig. Her task was completed, and she retreated.
At the same time, Yu Wei and Ji Yunshu walked over.
"Gongzi …"
Yu Wei stared at her angrily. Ji Yunshu stepped forward and explained, "When I asked you today, you were very nervous. You were in the same room as Hualing, so it's impossible that you didn't know what happened to her. And that night, you said that you weren't feeling well. After eating, you continued to rest and didn't get up until the next day.
But I asked the people in the residence, someone said that they saw you come out that night and hurriedly went back to your room. Since you came out, how could you not know whether Hualing went back to her room or not? How could you wait until the next day to discover that she was gone? It's obvious that you're lying. "
"I …"
"Tell me, who is the murderer?"
Mumu's eyes were dull. After a long time, three words rolled out of her mouth, "It's Yu Wang."
Yu Wang?
Uh!
The Yu family members present were all shocked!
Ji Yunshu didn't understand, "Yu Wang, who is he?"
Yu Wei said, "He's a chef in my residence."
Chef?
Ji Yunshu remembered that there was no such person in the Yu residence's personnel record book that Yu Wei gave her.
"Why didn't I see this person in your record book?"
