If it was really her... No, she had no reason to kill his mother. Besides, she was in such poor health and had such little strength, how could she possibly kill someone?
But the timing is so coincidental.
Yunchu sat on the swing, watching the snowflakes falling from the sky, feeling infinite emotion in her heart. This was probably the last snow she would ever see.
The last snow I saw as Yunchu.
[The Emperor is here. I've blocked everyone in the Yun family for you.]
There was a rustling sound of footsteps outside the yard, and Yunchu immediately looked up.
Jiang Zhanyuan was covered in snow, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked shaky as he walked.
He walked straight towards her, his shoulders shaking with emotion. He stood across from her and looked down at her. "Where's the dagger you took from me?"
Yunchu actually wanted to tell him directly that she was the one who killed his mother, but... the necessary process still had to be followed. For the first time, he felt that this moment at the end of life was so difficult to endure.
Her tone was indifferent, “A dagger, of course I threw it away, otherwise why would I keep it for the New Year?”
Jiang Zhanyuan grabbed her shoulders fiercely, with such force that Yun Chu couldn't help but gasp in pain.
"Jiang Zhanyuan, what's wrong with you?"
She wanted to push him away, but he was in the prime of his youth, how could Yunchu push him away?
"Where did you throw it? When did you throw it?"
Yunchu frowned, "Jiang Zhanyuan, I am your master! Do I need to report everything I do to you?"
Jiang Zhanyuan suddenly felt deflated. She was his master... Yes, before she kept saying that she regarded herself as her savior, but now she said that she was the master.
She was right. He was wrong. He had always been wrong.
Why did he feel that such a high-ranking young lady would be willing to treat a lowly person like him as her savior?
"Miss, tell me the truth, where did you go this morning?"
Yunchu pushed him and left the swing. "Jiang Zhanyuan, you were the one going crazy just now. Shouldn't you have given me a proper reason first?"
Jiang Zhanyuan took out the bloody dagger and said, "Miss, do you recognize it? This is the dagger you took from me. My mother, my dear mother died because she was stabbed in the heart with this dagger. So I want Miss to give me a reasonable explanation!"
Yunchu waved his hands and turned away guiltily. "I threw this dagger away a long time ago. Who knows who picked it up? I've offended a lot of people. Maybe they want to frame me! It's just a death. Why are you questioning me like this?"
Jiang Zhanyuan listened to her first words and thought that what she said might be true, but the second half, what does it mean... isn't it just that someone died...
"Miss, the person who died is my mother! If it was the young master who died, would you say such a thing? So Miss, just tell me where you went this morning and why there is mud on your shoes and skirt. As long as it is a reasonable explanation, I will believe it!"
As he spoke, he knelt on the ground, as if begging for an answer.
Yunchu lowered her eyes and took a deep breath. She raised her hand, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, turned around and looked down at him.
"Haha, Jiang Zhanyuan, since you've already guessed it's me, why are you asking so many questions?"
She smiled as if she was looking at some garbage.
Jiang Zhanyuan's heart seemed to have fallen into an icy lake and couldn't warm up no matter what.
"Why..."
"Why? Because you're just a servant! Do you know what a servant is? A lowly slave! An ant!"
"I told you this a long time ago! I let you into the mansion just to treat you as a plaything! You don't really think I treat you as my savior, do you?"
"I didn't ask you to save me! You're just asking for no reason!"
"As for why I killed your mother, of course it was because I wanted to see an ant like you helpless."
"Jiang Zhanyuan, being toyed with is your fate!"
Her tone was light, but it made people hate her particularly.
Jiang Zhanyuan smiled self-deprecatingly, his fingers unconsciously clenching the handle of the dagger.
"If I had known this would happen, I should have let you freeze to death in the snow."
He spoke through gritted teeth.
Yunchu looked at his expression and decided to add fuel to the fire.
"Jiang Zhanyuan, why do you think I showed my affection to you a few days ago? I wanted you to fall in love with me so I could kill your mother. Don't you think that would be ten times more painful? It's a pity that it's been a month and you're still unmoved. I'm tired, and this game is over."
"But even if you know that I killed your mother, what does it matter? Can you kill me to avenge her? This Yun family is all mine. If I die, you will be buried with me!"
"Isn't death the thing you parasites fear most?"
Jiang Zhanyuan staggered to his feet. Perhaps he didn't have the courage to kill her before.
But the things he cared about most in this world were gone. Before he left his mother and entered the Yun family, he had clearly promised to make a lot of money to treat her illness and lead her to a good life.
But she died... What's the meaning of my existence? I have no ties. Even if I kill Yunchu, it will only be death.
"Miss."
He called out softly.
Yunchu curled his lips, "Why, do you know how insignificant you are? You just... um..."
Feeling a tearing pain in his chest, Yun Chu smiled and looked down. The dagger was now stuck in his chest.
Finally, she took action. It was worth all the words she said against her will.
