The dungeon in Taoyuan County consists of two parts, separated by a wall.
Those who have been sentenced are on the other side, and the suspects are on this side. Currently, Xue Hanyu is the suspect, so she is the only one here.
"Hanyu, I'm Ayue."
Cheng Yue squatted down and reached out to hold Xue Hanyu's hand.
Xue Hanyu's hands were very cold, and Cheng Yue held her hands tightly.
"Hanyu, can you tell me what happened? He was fine yesterday afternoon. I even said I would bring you the flowers my sister-in-law made."
Cheng Yue said again.
"What happened to Old Madam Shen? Why did they beat Xiao Tao to death?"
Xue Hanyu remained silent, so Cheng Yue mentioned the two people who were most important to Xue Hanyu.
Unfortunately, Xue Hanyu just sat there in a daze, as if he didn't hear her words.
"Hanyu, you need to speak up! Master Ji said that the truth of the matter must be found out within three days. If you don't speak up, the entire Shen Mansion is under the control of your second aunt, and it will be difficult for Master Ji to find out anything. I believe that you are not the murderer. You must tell Master Ji everything you know and saw. Only then will he clear your name, catch the murderer, and pay tribute to the spirits of Old Lady Shen and Xiao Tao in heaven."
"It's useless for you to remain silent. It's useless. Old Madam Shen and Xiao Tao have been murdered. Don't you want to catch the real murderer? What exactly happened?"
Cheng Yue felt very uncomfortable seeing Xue Hanyu like this.
"Xue Hanyu, do you plan to live like this for the rest of your life? You are already an adult, and no one can protect you from the wind and rain. You must cheer yourself up! Your grandparents and uncle who loved you the most are all gone, and even Xiaotao, who was by your side since childhood, was wrongly killed."
"Are you planning to be a coward? Yes, your father is the Prime Minister, and you and Master Ji have grown up together. If you don't speak, no one will do anything to you. But do you want to live like this for the rest of your life?"
"Will you be at peace? Life is long. Aren't you afraid that you'll think about what happened today every night? Aren't you afraid that your grandmother and Xiaotao will blame you for being useless?"
There was no other way. Since Xue Hanyu didn't say anything, Cheng Yue could only say some harsh words.
Unfortunately, Xue Hanyu remained unmoved.
Cheng Yue didn't know what kind of blow this girl had suffered that made her like this.
Xue Hanyu didn't say anything for a long time. Cheng Yue almost thought she was not Xue Hanyu but a stone sculpture.
"Hanyu, I know you are very sad about Mrs. Shen's death. But have you ever thought that your behavior will make her even sadder?"
"What exactly happened? If you don't tell us, we won't even be able to find a way to help you solve the problem."
Cheng Yue sighed and said a few more words.
For some reason, Cheng Yue wanted to cry when she saw Xue Hanyu like this, but she knew that she couldn't cry and had to stay calm.
She hugged Xue Hanyu and whispered, "Hanyu,..."
She couldn't say the words that came to her lips.
She wanted to say, Hanyu, don't be afraid, I will be your family from now on, and I will take good care of you.
But what's the point of saying this at this time?
She wanted to show concern for Xue Hanyu and give her warmth, but Xue Hanyu was like this, keeping people at a distance, as if she was living in her own world, as if she couldn't hear anyone talking. She let Cheng Yue hold her, motionless and expressionless.
