Seeing Xue Zhiyi looking so crazy, Xue Tingliu raised his eyebrows slightly.
He originally thought that Xue Zhiyi was a heartless person, but it seems that he doesn't really ignore anyone.
He was just very curious. What had this couple done to offend Xue Zhiyi that made her hate them so much?
And what did Xue Zhiyi do to make her parents favor Fu Rongxin a hundred times more than her?
The relationship between the people in the main house is really subtle.
"Xue Zhiyi!" Fu Ling shouted at the top of her lungs, "Take Xue Runing's body and get out! Don't touch Rongxin!"
Even if Xue Zhiyi hated Fu Rongxin, she would not kill people in public like this. She just wanted to tell these people that she was capable of doing anything.
Without even glancing at Fu Rongxin, she pushed the man, whose legs were already weak from fear, into Fu Ling's arms.
The hairpin was put back in her hair. She squatted down and looked at Xue Runing who was sleeping quietly. Her eyes finally softened.
Xue Zhiyi said softly: "I'll take you away."
Ignoring Fu Ling's panic and Xue Zhentong's angry curses, she picked up Xue Runing.
Xue Runing's body was wet from the rain. He was so thin and light that even Xue Zhiyi didn't feel heavy when he held him.
These people never showed Ru Ning any care during their lifetime, so how could they be called relatives? They were even less worthy of disposing of her body!
She wanted to take Runing away, just as she had promised before her death, and they wanted to leave the Xue family together.
…
Buddhist temple.
After Xue Zhiyi took Xue Runing away, Fu Ling came here in a daze.
Her hands numbly knocked on the wooden fish, and she repeated the Great Compassion Mantra over and over in her heart, but the burning incense kept going out again and again.
When the incense went out for the third time, Fu Ling felt a chill all over his body, and the hand that was beating the wooden fish was trembling.
She was a vegetarian and chanted Buddhist scriptures all her life, but one day, her daughter actually killed someone... The Bodhisattva would not forgive her.
But even if she goes to hell, she will protect her child.
Seeing Fu Ling's daze, Mother Xing assumed she felt Xue Runing's death was unlucky, so she covered her with a piece of clothing and whispered to her, "Perhaps it's raining, and the incense has gotten damp. I'll go buy some more after daybreak."
At this moment, Fu Rongxin arrived and said to Mother Xing, "Please leave first. I'll accompany my aunt."
After Xing's mother left, Fu Rongxin sat down on the mat next to Fu Ling.
"Mother..." Fu Rongxin was still a little dazed: "Xue Zhiyi took Xue Runing away. She won't find out anything, right?"
"No." Looking at the Guanyin statue, Fu Ling's voice was devoid of emotion. "The body was soaked by the rain, leaving no trace. Besides, the coroner from the Dali Temple couldn't find anything. What kind of supernatural power does Xue Zhiyi have?"
Fu Rongxin was still worried: "But...what if?"
After lowering his eyes and thinking for a while, Fu Ling said, "Mother will take care of everything."
"What did mother say?"
Looking at Fu Rongxin, her eyes were extremely tired. "Don't worry, mother has some connections with the wife of the Dali Temple Minister. If one day Xue Zhiyi really finds out something, as long as the Dali Temple doesn't overturn the verdict, she can't touch you. Everything she has was given by the Xue family. As long as the Xue family doesn't stand behind her, she is nothing."
…
Jiangxuexuan.
Xue Zhiyi could no longer shed tears. She wiped Xue Runing's body as she lay on the bed in the side room, and changed her clothes that were soaked in blood and rain.
Xue Zhiyi knew that what she did today was not rational. She understood that she should remain calm and not anger Xue Zhentong and the others.
But she is not a heart of stone. Even though she died once, her human nature is hard to erase. She cannot remain calm about Xue Runing's death, and she cannot have a clear conscience.
Xue Zhiyi wiped Xue Runing's neck. The fatal wound was a bloody hole on her neck. The villain stabbed her neck and then threw her into a dark alley, leaving her lying alone until she bled out.
She was so timid, she must have been terrified at that time...
Qiuyun's face was covered with tear marks. To prevent Xue Zhiyi from feeling even more sad, she suppressed her tears and spoke softly, trying to maintain a calm tone, "Miss, you've been caught in the rain, so you should change your clothes. It's not warm yet, so don't catch a cold."
Su Yue couldn't help crying and cried for a long time. She was still sobbing at this moment.
Xue Zhiyi just looked at Xue Runing quietly. She asked Su Yue, "Su Yue, when the people from the Dali Temple came, you were also at home. What did they say?"
Su Yue cried, "The Dali Temple said...that the fifth young lady was murdered near Fulufang. There are many refugees in that area, and she was probably killed by them. The murderer fled after the incident. Because of the heavy rain, the footprints at the scene were washed away. Finding the murderer...is very difficult..."
As she spoke, she opened a cloth bag and said, "These are the Fifth Miss's belongings. The people from the Dali Temple checked and found nothing unusual, so they sent them back. Miss, do you want to keep them?"
Xue Zhiyi looked in a daze and saw a box of snacks soaked in water and the jewelry Xue Runing was wearing today.
etc……
Xue Zhiyi picked up a silver hairpin. She was stunned, her voice still a little hoarse: "Why did the refugees kill her?"
Instantly, she felt a shudder throughout her body, and her chaotic mind suddenly became clear: "The murderer didn't commit any indecent acts against her, nor did he steal her property. If it wasn't for money or sex, why would he kill her?"
The three of them looked at each other.
Yes... refugees are also human beings, they will not kill people for no reason. If Xue Runing doesn't have what they want, why would they kill her for no reason?
She couldn't help but tremble. "The people in the Dali Temple have seen more dead people than living people. How could they not notice something strange?!"
"Maybe... maybe..." Su Yue's eyes were hesitant: "Maybe the murderer didn't want to kill anyone, but only wanted to rob money, but then accidentally failed and fled in a hurry?"
Xue Zhiyi just shook his head slowly and woodenly: "I don't believe it's such a coincidence... I have to find out. I can't let Runing die in vain."
Looking at Xue Runing's pale face, Xue Zhiyi's tears fell again.
Especially since this person who was supposed to live longer than her died at this time in his life.
She felt guilty and was even more convinced that something unusual must have happened.
…
Xue Zhiyi sat in the side room all night, watching the candle in front of him burn out.
When the sky was turning white, Qiuyun sat down beside Xue Zhiyi with a cup of hot porridge in her hand. "Miss... you haven't slept a wink all night, and you haven't eaten or drunk anything. How can you bear this? At least eat something."
After glancing at the hazy sky, she calmly took the bowl of porridge and ate it bit by bit.
She couldn't let herself get hurt, she had to find the murderer and avenge Runing.
After eating, she said, "I'm fine. I just want to see my fifth sister more."
Qiuyun held her hand and said, "Miss Wu also hopes that you will be well."
Xue Zhiyi felt bitter in his throat: "Wait till daybreak and go to the coffin shop to order a good coffin."
Qiuyun's eyes turned red again and she replied yes.
