Jiang Zhanyuan said, "Thank you for the reward, Miss."
Yunchu waved his hand, and Jiang Zhanyuan and Xiaotao left together.
【Have you fulfilled all your regrets?】
Siming suddenly jumped out and stretched out his hand towards the pastries on the table.
Yun Chu lowered his head and said nothing. How could he finish the regrets of six lifetimes in just one month?
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Siming knew that she must not have finished it. He sighed and said, "Jiang Zhanyuan's mother will commit suicide tomorrow. You have to go there before noon."
"I know."
Siming nodded in satisfaction, "You know what, your mortal pastries are quite delicious!"
After he said that, he grabbed two more pieces of cake and disappeared in a flash.
Yun Chu took out the dagger he had obtained from Jiang Zhanyuan before, and slowly clenched his fingers.
The next day, Yunchu went to the village and asked around, and finally arrived at Jiang Zhanyuan's home before noon.
There was a woman hanging from the beam, and Yunchu knew that it was Jiang Zhanyuan's mother.
Siming originally wanted Yunchu to put the person down, but thinking of her poor health, he decided to do it himself.
"She was hanged. It's obvious that she committed suicide. Even if I tell Jiang Zhanyuan in person that I killed her mother, he won't believe it."
Siming waved his hand, "No big deal!"
In an instant, the marks on the woman's neck disappeared, and a bloodstain appeared on her chest. Yun Chu lowered his head to look at the dagger in his hand, which was also covered in bloodstains.
"Okay, just throw the dagger here."
Yunchu did as he was told and quickly left the place.
As she was in the carriage, a furtive figure appeared from the fields behind the house.
He looked puzzled. "A carriage? Who in our Jiangjia Village can afford one? It seems to be from Aunt Jiang's family, right? Could it be that Zhan Yuan has become successful in the Yun family? I have to go and find out what he is talking about, lest he forget about me, his childhood friend!"
Jiang Hai hurried to the front yard and called out twice: "Auntie Jiang! Did Zhan Yuan come back just now?"
The room was silent. Jiang Hai shook his head, thinking that Aunt Jiang was so happy that she didn't hear his voice.
He rubbed his head and muttered to himself, "This Jiang Zhanyuan, he didn't even tell me he was coming back!"
He knocked on the door but no one responded to him, so he had to break in. But as soon as he entered, Jiang Hai was almost scared to death.
After a long time, he finally found his voice, "Someone's dead!"
Yun family.
Jiang Zhanyuan went to deliver medicine to Yunchu as Xiaotao instructed, but when he arrived he found that Yunchu was not in the room.
He went to ask Xiaotao, but Xiaotao stammered and couldn't answer where Yunchu had gone.
"Are you looking for me?"
Just when Xiao Tao was about to ask the eldest young master, Yun Chu's voice came from behind them. She was wearing extra thick clothes today and holding two strings of candied haws in her hands.
Xiao Tao hugged her and said, "Miss, where did you go? Why didn't you tell Xiao Tao when you went out?"
Yunchu shared the candied haws with the two of them and said, "I felt bored staying in the room all day, so I just wandered around the city."
Xiaotao is still dissatisfied. What if something happens if the young lady goes out alone?
"Miss, don't do this again next time. You must tell Xiao Tao!"
Yunchu responded with a smile, "Well, it won't happen again!"
Jiang Zhanyuan didn't say anything. He saw that the soles of Yunchu's shoes were covered in mud, and even the hem of her skirt was covered in mud.
Is it possible to do this while walking around the city?
She was lying.
Jiang Zhanyuan gave the medicine to Yunchu, "Miss, drink it."
Yunchu touched the bowl with his hand and said, "It's cold. Let's heat it up again."
Jiang Zhanyuan felt uneasy. After hearing what she said, he tested the temperature of the medicine and said, "Miss, you are right. I will go right away."
Jiang Zhanyuan was walking out when his shoulder hit the door and he staggered.
Xiao Tao covered her mouth and laughed: "Miss, what's wrong with Jiang Zhanyuan today? Why is he so silly?"
Yun Chu looked at Jiang Zhanyuan's back as he left, lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Jiang Zhanyuan was almost about to leave when he heard that someone was looking for him.
He walked to the gate and saw that it was his good friend Jiang Hai. He held Jiang Zhanyuan's hand, his lips trembling: "Zhanyuan, something happened to your mother!"
Jiang Zhanyuan: “???!!!”
Jiang Zhanyuan quickly followed Jiang Hai. When he saw his mother's body, he suddenly knelt on the ground and croaked, "What...what's going on?"
Jiang Haibin cried and said, "I went to your backyard today originally to pick some eggs, but I saw a carriage parked in front of your house. I thought you had made a fortune in the city and returned home. But I shouted several times outside and no one paid attention to me, so I went straight in. When I entered, I saw Aunt Jiang lying on the ground, covered in blood."
"I reported it to the authorities, but the coroner insisted your mother committed suicide! But there was a huge bloody hole on her body, how could she have committed suicide?"
"Yes... I also found this dagger on the ground. I took it to the officials, but they said I was blind and that there was nothing on the dagger..."
"But it's all bloodstained, Zhan Yuan, do you recognize it? I gave you this dagger! You carved the pattern on it yourself."
Jiang Zhanyuan stood up tremblingly and took the dagger from Jiang Hai's hand.
...
"Don't bring this with you next time, or I'll think you're going to kill me with it! As for this dagger, I'll confiscate it!"
Memories of the past few days came flooding back.
Jiang Hai also told him that the government was lying and said that his mother committed suicide... It was very likely because they didn't dare to touch the murderer.
Jiang Zhanyuan thought again of the mud on Yunchu's shoes and skirt when she came back.
He patted Jiang Hai's shoulder with trembling hands, "Ah Hai, please take good care of my mother for me. I want to seek justice!"
Jiang Hai stopped him, "Zhan Yuan, we don't even know who the murderer is, and the government isn't willing to help us ordinary people. Where are you going to get justice?"
Jiang Zhanyuan shook his head. He couldn't control his tears the moment he saw his mother's body. "I don't know. I don't know if it was her, but I have to find out! I have to find out!"
When they went down the mountain yesterday, she even asked her mother!
He was also unwilling to believe that it was her. If it wasn't her, he might have asked her to help him get justice.
If it was her...
