Xia Yujiao injured her throat, making it difficult for her to speak. She was also determined to die, and her face was indifferent. She ignored the questions from Li Gan's men.
"Madam Xia, do you recognize those people?"
"Madam Xia, what is your relationship with the owner of that house?"
"Xia, are you going to confess or not? Don't think we won't torture you just because someone is protecting you!"
However, no matter what they said or asked, Xia Yujiao did not react at all.
Jinyi Yunqi's interrogation of Xia Yujiao soon came to an end.
The inability to torture her was only one factor. The most crucial factor was that Xia Yujiao was in a very bad mental state. She was completely blank, with no light in her eyes. She didn't know how to answer any questions.
It can almost be said that one is "disheartened and has no desire to live".
The interrogator had no choice but to report the situation to Li Gan.
Li Gan went to see her in person and also asked a doctor to examine Xia Yujiao. The doctor said that she was frightened and stimulated, and was depressed, and this condition might not change in the short term.
She listened to what others said, but it went in one ear and out the other, not really registering, and her consciousness had no reaction at all. So, whether it was gentle inducements or harsh threats, it was all just wind on her ears.
The first time Xia Yujiao attempted suicide was because she was pregnant with Jin Yong's child. She couldn't face it and felt that she had brought shame to the Xia family, so she impulsively sought death.
But at that time, she still had many things she was reluctant to leave this world.
When she rejected the Jin family's proposal in person, her heartache had begun to heal.
Unfortunately, before her heartbreak had fully healed, she suffered a second injury.
From the moment she saw Jin Yong in that small courtyard, her heart almost died.
Is it possible that I can never escape from Jin Yong in this life?
It's better to die than to live like that...
Xia Yujiao has already thought of several ways to commit suicide.
It was a pity that the male and female servants were very smart and kept a close watch on her on weekdays.
She never found the opportunity and destroyed herself.
She also tried to attack Jin Yong with the golden hairpin, but with her little strength, how could she compare to Jin Yong, who was a master of martial arts?
Not only did it fail to hurt Jin Yong, but it also aroused Jin Yong's ferocity, causing him to suffer a lot.
Jin Yong also took away her hairpins and hairpins, and only had the maids use hair ties to tie her hair up, and then decorate it with silk flowers, pearl flowers, or fresh flowers.
As for things with sharp points like hairpins and hairpins, they were kept far away and never allowed to touch her again.
Oh, how stupid I was at that time!
You shouldn't be using the hairpin to poke Jin Yong, you should be using it to poke yourself. If you use more force and poke deeper, maybe you won't have to suffer humiliation again!
Xia Yujiao immersed herself in memories and regrets over and over again, and remained silent and unresponsive to the outside world.
Of course, if someone serves her food, she will swallow it; if someone feeds her medicine, she will drink it; if someone washes her face, she will accept it.
If she were asked to do it herself, she wouldn't even move a finger.
Jinyi Yunqi tried it once. He brought the food into the house, but did not send a maid to feed her. Instead, he just stood aside and waited for her to eat when she was hungry.
As a result, Xia Yujiao refused to eat anything that day. Her stomach growled, but she didn't react. The aroma of food wafted past, but she didn't react either.
The whole person seemed to have turned into a wooden doll.
The people of Jinyi Yunqi had no choice but to arrange for maids to serve them carefully.
It was two days later when Mrs. Zhou and Old Man Xia came to the inn and met Xia Yujiao.
When they saw Xia Yujiao's dazed and wooden look, they both couldn't help but burst into tears.
Fortunately, when Xia Yujiao saw the old couple crying bitterly, she finally reacted. Although she still couldn't make a sound, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
Xia Daohua found Li Gan and asked him about the general situation. Suddenly, a fatal question came to her mind:
Xia Yujiao had disappeared, and the old couple had completely abandoned their secret in their quest to find her. If she returned like this, she would undoubtedly face numerous rumors. Given her current mental state, even the slightest pressure would cause her to collapse again.
Everyone in the Xia family has their own things to do, so it is impossible for them to stay with Xia Yujiao all the time.
If she committed suicide, wouldn't the old couple be half dead?
What should I do?
The best solution might be to move. Move to a place where no one knows the Xia family. A place too close might not be enough. It has to be farther away, preferably somewhere out of touch with this place.
But, would the old couple be willing to leave Beiguan Village just for Xia Yujiao?
After much thought, Xia Daohua finally decided to share her idea with the old couple.
The old couple was immediately shocked.
Before, they were busy crying about Xia Yujiao’s miserable life and hadn’t had time to think about this.
Zhou quickly reacted and quickly confirmed Xia Daohua's idea:
"My dear, you're right! If we continue to live in the village, your aunt will probably suffer a lot of humiliation from others!"
Old Master Xia hesitated. "But what about our family and the land we own? How can we just move away quietly?"
The old couple had different opinions, and they might have to ask their sons for their opinions later, but Xia Yujiao was in urgent need of psychological counseling, which was certain.
Xia Daohua was a little worried.
Although she has read some psychology books, she has not obtained the qualifications of a professional psychological counselor.
Although he knew the crux of Xia Yujiao's situation, he could not help her.
The old couple's argument gradually grew louder, but Li Gan calmed them down. However, he addressed Xia Daohua:
"I'm here this time to handle a very important case. I'll be staying in Beiguan Town for about a month.
I had saved someone this time just for fun, but I had no idea the clues I uncovered would be connected to the case I was trying to solve.
During this period of time, let Madam Xia stay in the inn.
Firstly, I have some questions to ask her to see if she can think of some useful clues; secondly, it will allow the doctor to give her a good treatment.
If you are worried, you can send someone to accompany her, look after her, and live and eat with her."
When Li Gan said this, the old couple were stunned.
Could it be that my good daughter Yujiao is involved in some troublesome case?
Seeing the old couple in a daze, Xia Daohua hurriedly said to them:
"Grandpa, grandma, just think about it, to be able to sneak my aunt out of our house like that without anyone noticing, what kind of skills does that require?
I think such a person might be a wanted criminal by the imperial court!
Isn't it also to catch those thieves that we kept my aunt here to question her?"
