Ah Man's eyes lit up: "Ah, isn't this Erniu?"
Erniu seemed to notice that Jiang Si was in a bad mood. He tilted his head back and sniffed her hand, making a flattering sound from his throat.
The moment he saw Erniu, Jiang Si's tense state suddenly relaxed, revealing a gentle smile mixed with sadness: "Erniu, why are you here?"
I have to say that seeing Erniu at this time was a comfort to Jiang Simang's tormented heart.
Her father was a good person, and her brother was also a good person, but in her previous life, one of them was separated in life, and the other was separated in death. The only people who stayed with her were Yu Qi and Erniu.
Even when she was about to die in her previous life, she vaguely heard Erniu's cry.
Maybe it was an illusion, but to Jiang Si, Erniu was indeed not just an ordinary dog, but a relative who had been with her for a long time.
"Woof——" Erniu barked and turned his head.
Jiang Si looked in the direction he was looking and saw the eyes of a young man who had been waiting under a tree not far away for who knows how long suddenly light up.
There were many people watching the excitement outside the Yongchang Marquis's mansion. Yu Jin standing under the tree was not eye-catching, but when Jiang Si saw him, he no longer saw anyone else.
After a moment of stunned silence, Jiang Si turned around and left.
Yu Jin strode after her and stopped in front of her.
He had originally prepared two plans, one was to bring the girl to justice, the other was to complain about his grievances, but the moment he saw the pale face of the girl, both plans were thrown out of his mind, and he blurted out: "Who wronged you?"
I don’t know why, but after hearing this, Jiang Si, who had been fully armed just now, was suddenly broken-hearted, and tears fell like pearls from a broken string.
Crystal clear tears rolled down her fair cheeks, making her face look even paler and more fragile.
Yu Jin panicked for a moment and quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears: "Don't cry, I'll help you vent your anger!"
Jiang seemed to have just woken up from a dream. He took two steps back as if he had been scalded, then turned around and ran away quickly.
Watching the girl's back disappear through the door, Yu Jin's handsome face gloomed.
What happened?
She could talk freely to bullies and even murderers without any fear, so why did she cry like that just now?
Whenever she thought of those crystal tears, Yu Jian's heart ached terribly.
He didn't even want to make her cry, so which bastard was so tired of living?
Yu Jin fixed his gaze on the gate of the Yongchang Marquis's mansion.
He had come a long time ago, and from what he had seen, he knew that the wife of the Yongchang Marquis was found dead in her room in the morning, and the Yongchang Marquis's mansion had invited the Shuntian prefect to investigate the case. Asi was a good friend of Miss Xie, and had been staying at the Yongchang Marquis's mansion during this period. Her abnormality must be related to the Yongchang Marquis's mansion.
He had to find out what happened.
"Long Dan——" Yu Jin shouted.
A baby-faced man jumped down from the tree and asked with a smile, "Master, what do you want?"
Yu Jin felt irritated when he saw the other person's smile and said unhappily, "What are you laughing at!"
Long Dan looked aggrieved: "Master, I am happy for you."
Yu Jin's eyebrows twitched.
Happy? He was in a state of panic, what was there to be happy about?
Long Dan blinked and said, "Master, you don't understand. What does it mean for a girl to cry in front of a man?"
"It means she's sad."
"Master, you think too simply. This shows that this man is special to the girl. Otherwise, think about it, why didn't Miss Jiang cry in front of me?"
"Do you want her to cry in front of you?" Yu Jin narrowed his eyes.
Long Dan's scalp went numb, and he wiped the sweat off his face and said, "I am just giving you an example, Master, please don't misunderstand me!"
"Giving examples won't work." Yu Jin raised her eyebrows in dissatisfaction, and suddenly changed her tone, "Tell me how I am different in her heart?"
Long Dan opened his mouth.
How would he know? He was just trying to make his master happy!
"Ahem, the fact that Miss Jiang can cry in front of you proves that you are a reliable person in her heart. Don't people reveal their true feelings in front of people they trust? Don't you agree?"
Yu Jin thought about it and felt that what Long Dan said made a lot of sense, and his heart suddenly soared.
It turned out that the girl had always been saying one thing and thinking another, and actually trusted him deeply.
This is not good. How can he feel happy when Asi is sad?
Yu Jin secretly reflected on his situation and told Long Dan: "Go and find out about the situation at the Yongchang Marquis's residence, and pay special attention to whether Miss Jiang has encountered any problems."
Long Dan took the order and left, leaving the man and the dog staring at each other.
Erniu looked at his master with contempt.
It's useless. The mistress ran away again.
Yu Jin reached out and hit Erniu, angrily saying, "What kind of look is that!"
"Woof woof." Erniu barked twice perfunctorily and ran away wagging his tail.
Yu Jin folded his arms across his chest, staring intently at the gate of the Dongping Marquis's mansion.
I don’t know if she will come out today. If not, should he go in?
Prince Yu Qi stroked his chin, thinking seriously about this serious question.
Just as Yu Jin was wondering how many slaps he would get for sneaking into Jiang Sixiang's house, Long Dan came back to report: "Master, I found out!"
Yu Jin came back to his senses: "Speak."
"It turned out that the murderer of Marquis Yongchang's wife was the Marquis's cook. The cook killed Marquis Yongchang's wife simply because she misunderstood Marquis Yongchang. Marquis Yongchang was so angry that he left..."
"Where is Miss Jiang?" Although the sudden deaths of Yongchang Bo and his wife were shocking, Yu Jin was already accustomed to life and death, and the only person he cared about was Jiang Si.
"Miss Jiang? This has nothing to do with Miss Jiang." Long Dan was stunned for a moment, then he responded, "I heard that Miss Jiang made a great contribution to the investigation. Even the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture praised her highly. It is said that he will come to thank her in person."
Visit to say thank you?
The image of an old man immediately emerged in Yu Jin's mind, and he felt relieved.
Zhen Shicheng returned to the yamen: "..." What kind of misunderstanding do people have that they mistake a handsome middle-aged uncle for an old man?
"Then why is she crying?" Yu Jin murmured.
"Master, Miss Jiang's family is a neighbor of the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion. Maybe the Yongchang Marquis and his wife are good to her, so she is sad because of them."
Yu Jin looked towards the Dongping Marquis's Mansion again.
He felt that it was not that simple and it seemed necessary to ask.
Jiang Si walked into the Dongping Marquis's mansion and hurriedly told Ah Man, "Go tell the eldest master that Yongchang Marquis has passed away."
Ah Man couldn't help asking, "Girl, where are you going?"
"I'll go back to Haitangju to pack up first." Jiang Si left in a hurry without even looking back.
He ran back to Haitangju in one breath, and Aqiao was frightened by Jiang Si's ugly face.
"girl--"
Jiang Si waved his hand, went straight into the house, closed the door, and locked Aqiao outside.
Although Ah Qiao was a calm person, Jiang's appearance made her worried, so she put her ear to the door to listen to what was going on inside.
The sound of suppressed crying came from inside the house.
The girl is crying?
Ah Qiao started to panic. She stuck her head out but couldn't see Ah Man, so she became even more panicked.
