In March, she placed her palms together in front of her lips and made the sounds of summer insects chirping.
He stopped and turned to look at Yu Shang when he saw the door below the wall open and a figure walk out.
Ji Yanwen came to the corner of the wall, took the hand that Yu Shang offered, and climbed over the wall to leave the county school.
The group arrived at a secluded courtyard.
"Jiang Songzong is dead."
Ji Yanwen had just sat down when he heard the news, and he paused for a moment.
"How did he die?"
Yu Shang's face was full of amazement, with a hint of unspoken teasing, as he said, "You would never have guessed."
Seeing that he was going to keep him in suspense, Ji Yanwen's lips twitched. He stared at Ji Yanwen's face with his eyes as cold as stars until Ji Yanwen felt embarrassed and finally said awkwardly, "Jiang Bai had that Boss Li find some refugees and have them..."
Yu Shang gestured and roughly expressed Jiang Songzong's experience.
Even though Ji Yanwen had long suspected that Jiang Bai wouldn't let them off easily, he didn't expect her to use such methods.
Is she still a woman?
Ji Yanwen gasped, feeling a chill creep down his spine for no apparent reason.
"Have you found out why she did this?"
He lowered his voice, his brows furrowed tightly, and his voice carried a hint of coldness.
Upon hearing this, Yu Shang's playful expression vanished.
Thinking of the information his men had gathered, his eyes were filled with sympathy, and he was less inclined to watch the spectacle.
"I did some research and found out that Jiang Songzong did some bad things to Jiang Songwen."
"It may affect offspring."
His voice carried a hint of anger.
However, he had no relation to Jiang Bai and the others. Although he felt some contempt for what Jiang Songzong had done, it was only out of sympathy for Jiang Songwen.
However, if this news gets back to the capital...
The look in his eyes darkened slightly.
"It will affect your offspring?" Ji Yanwen was shocked.
Thinking of Jiang Songzong's fate, his face darkened.
If his guess is correct, then it's no wonder Jiang Bai went crazy.
Thinking of what that child was like at first, Ji Yanwen felt a pang of heartache.
Wang and the others truly deserved to die.
His eyes turned cold.
"Jiang Songzong died a just death."
Yu Shang nodded in agreement.
Has anyone accused Jiang Bai of buying and selling a respectable woman's wife?
"No."
"The wives of the Jiang brothers were released by that broker."
"Release them?"
"Yes, I heard it was Jiang Bai's idea."
Where is that person?
"I've gone back to my parents' home."
Ji Yanwen frowned. Since she had sold the person out, why was she so soft-hearted as to let her go? Wasn't she afraid of their retaliation later?
Seeing his pale face, Yu Shang leaned closer and whispered, "I don't know much about Zhang's situation, but I heard that Liu left without any regrets."
"Upon learning of Jiang Songzong's death, he was not saddened at all; on the contrary, he looked delighted."
He was incredibly curious, but he couldn't find out anything about it.
"The youngest child?"
"They've already been bought. It's said that they're a newlywed couple who haven't had a child for two years, so they bought them to avoid paying taxes."
"Speaking of which, you and Jiang Bai have been married for almost half a year now. When are you going to have a baby?"
Yu Shang looked at Ji Yanwen with curiosity, wondering what his child would be like after birth.
Ji Yanwen's face darkened.
"You don't even have a wife, so why should we care when we have children?"
Speaking of this, it reminded him of Jiang Bai's reluctance to consummate their marriage. Although she seemed to agree later, he thought carefully that if things had continued as they were that day, the two of them probably wouldn't have made any real progress.
Jiang Bai never considered consummating their marriage.
She didn't trust him at all.
Even after he was admitted to the county school and asked someone to send her a message, she simply replied, "I know."
Even when the county government came to deal with the family at the old house, they didn't think to come to the county school to see him.
The two were clearly husband and wife, but they were worse than strangers.
All that suffering from the injury I endured a while ago was for nothing.
You heartless bastard.
The more Ji Yanwen thought about it, the darker his face became. Only when he thought that his ten-day break was in a few days did his expression improve.
Regardless of whether she wanted to see him or not, he still needed her to conceal his identity.
“I’m still two years away from divorce, unlike you, who’s already reached that age.”
Yu Shang chuckled, observing his expression. He guessed what was going on and stopped talking about the topic, instead bringing up the Third Prince, who was far away in Luzhou.
"News has come from the Third Prince that a rain-praying ceremony will be held on the sixteenth of October."
"Sixteen? That means there are only three days left?"
"good."
"His Highness said that although they have prepared a lot of food, without water, the people still cannot survive."
"The relief food consists of baked rice cakes mixed with rice bran. These cakes are dry and choking, and many refugees have already choked to death or died of thirst."
"Praying for rain is an essential matter."
When it came to serious matters, Yu Shang's expression became much more serious.
Ji Yanwen's attention also shifted from Jiang Bai to Luzhou.
"His Highness ordered that all the refugees be brought back to Luzhou?"
“No.” Yu Shang shook his head and said, “Those refugees, although they were starving in Yingzhou, could still find a sip of water in the mountains. Luzhou, on the other hand, was a truly barren wasteland, where not a drop of water could be squeezed out.”
