The resentful best friend travels through daily life

The servant stopped howling immediately.

Ji Yanli was a heartless person, but he recovered after a while and went home to eat as if nothing had happened.

After dinner, Ji Yanli said he was not feeling well and asked for leave.

Old Madam Ji loved this little grandson the most. She let him go back to rest out of concern and even had someone make a bowl of soup for him.

After Ji Yanli returned to the room, he felt drowsy and fell asleep in a daze.

At night, when the night was dark, Ji Yanli was suddenly awakened.

The man's words during the day reminded him of Xiaofu.

He always thought that Xiaofu's death was his own business, but for some reason, after what happened during the day, he felt uneasy.

Ji Yanli hesitated in the courtyard for a whole night and went to find Shen Zhong early in the morning.

Shen Zhong is a smart man, and Ji Yanli believes that he can tell him what to do.

Shen Zhong was away these days, but Ji Yanli didn't care. After all, it was almost the busy farming season, and it was normal to take a few days off to go home.

Ji Yanli took a carriage to Zhoujia Village and found out that Shen Zhong was injured and was recuperating in Rende Pharmacy.

He hurried to Ren De Pharmacy again.

The longer this matter dragged on, the more anxious Ji Yanli became.

When we arrived at Ren De Pharmacy, it was almost noon.

The young apprentice knew that many people had visited Shen Zhong recently. Ji Yanli said that he was Shen Zhong's friend, so the young apprentice let him in.

Ji Yanli couldn't wait to knock on the door, so he pushed it open and saw Zhou Wan feeding Shen Zhong medicine. The two of them were very affectionate.

There was a sudden awkward moment.

Shen Zhong took the lead in breaking the awkwardness and asked, "Brother Ji, what are you doing...?"

Ji Yanli hummed and ahed twice, and said, "I want to talk to you, Brother Shen, about something. Who is this?"

Shen Zhong said: "This is my fiancée."

Shen Zhong never concealed the fact that he had a fiancée in the academy, but no one had ever seen it.

Zhou Wan was not a person who didn't know what to do, so she said, "Then I'll go out first, you guys can chat."

Having said that, Zhou Wan went out.

As soon as Zhou Wan left, Ji Yanli was about to cry.

Ji Yanli held Shen Zhong's hand, and said with tears in his eyes: "Brother Shen, you, you know, I..."

Shen Zhong has been recuperating. He has no idea what Zhou Ning and Shen You have done, so he is a little at a loss when faced with Ji Yanli's crying.

Ji Yanli babbled for a long time without uttering a single word. Shen Zhong thought he was beaten by his father and consoled him, "It's okay. A real man can bend and stretch. It's okay to get beaten."

Ji Yanli covered his mouth, nodded helplessly and cried loudly.

Outside the room, Zhou Wan was making soup.

Qi Ji came to Rende Pharmacy to see Shen Zhong.

Qi Ji had already walked to the door and was about to knock.

Zhou Wan saw this and felt that Qi Ji was not an outsider, but Ji Yanli was Shen Zhong's guest, so she said, "Master Qi, would you mind coming over?"

Qi Ji said: "Okay, Sister Zhou."

Just this one sound made Ji Yanli, who was crying, stunned for a moment, and a chill went straight to the top of his head.

"He, who is he?" Ji Yanli felt that the voice was not his own.

Shen Zhong sensed Ji Yanli's fear and asked cautiously, "What's wrong?"

Ji Yanli glanced at Shen Zhong and went out stealthily.

Although Shen Zhong didn't know what happened, he still favored Qi Ji and said loudly: "Brother Ji, where are you going?"

Ji Yanli was so nervous at this time that he didn't hear Shen Zhong's voice, but continued to sneak towards Qi Ji.

Qi Ji noticed that someone was spying on them, so he casually said he was going to get something, but in fact he was hiding in the dark.

Ji Yanli couldn't find Qi Ji, but in fact Qi Ji was standing behind him at this time.

"Are you looking for me?" Qi Ji asked.

Ji Yanli turned his head and saw a boy of about thirteen or fourteen standing in front of him. He had a jade-like face and gentle eyes and brows. The word "cruel" was definitely not what he should be called.

Before yesterday, Ji Yanli absolutely did not believe that such a child could be the one who wanted to kill him.

Ji Yanli was so frightened that he was speechless.

Zhou Wan came over and saw the strange atmosphere between the two of them, so she asked, "Do you know each other?"

Ji Yanli subconsciously wanted to shake his head.

Qi Ji smiled and said, "I know him."

After saying that, Qi Ji looked at Ji Yanli, who nodded with a gritted heart.

Qi Ji said: "Sister Zhou, I want to talk to Master Ji alone."

Zhou Wan noticed that the atmosphere between the two was odd, but she didn't know where to start, so she went back to cooking soup.

Qi Ji was dressed in white, with no other accessories except a jade pendant around his waist.

A gentleman deserves jade.

The jade pendant is all white, and what is rare is that it has no other colors. It is engraved with auspicious clouds and a unicorn.

The true skills of the craftsman can be seen in the tiny details.

It can be seen that this person has an extraordinary origin.

But why would such a person come to embarrass him, and why would he care about Xiaofu?

Qi Ji invited Ji Yanli to the Yunshang Restaurant.

When they arrived at the private room, Ji Yanli couldn't wait to ask, "Who are you and why do you want to harm me?"

Qi Ji poured himself a cup of tea calmly and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you on purpose, but you are most likely to have killed Xiao Fu Ren, and I only gave you two candy beans to eat yesterday."

Ji Yanli said: "Now you believe that I didn't kill him, right?"

Qi Ji said: "Yeah."

Ji Yanli relaxed, poured himself a cup of tea, and said, "So, he committed suicide, right?"

Qi Ji said: "No."

Ji Yanli spat out a mouthful of tea.

"What, he, he didn't commit suicide?" Ji Yanli asked.

Yesterday, through kidnapping Ji Yanli, Qi Ji and other three learned that Xiaofu had liked rouge and powder since she was a child and had been ridiculed since she was little. If Xiaofu had always been ridiculed, it was possible that she committed suicide one day.

But, I always feel like something is wrong.

The four of them pondered over it all night, and when the day dawned, Zhou Ning said thoughtfully, "It's a motive."

"If Xiaofu wanted to commit suicide, he would have a motive. He must have been unable to hold back, so there must be a trigger. Besides, he is the only son of his father. Xiaofu is filial, so he will not commit suicide easily."

Shen You thought it made sense, so the four of them went to investigate further.

I learned that the results of the Tongshi exam were announced ten days before Xiaofu's death.

Xiaofu failed the examination to become a student.

Shen You also learned from Shen Zhong that Xiaofu felt it was impossible for him to fail the exam, and he was making a fuss asking the county government for an explanation.

The Tongsheng examination was usually organized by the county government, which quietly suppressed the matter.

Ji Yanli asked, "Could it be that he felt that his life was hopeless and committed suicide?"

Qi Ji shook his head and said, "That's the weird thing. Xiaofu went to buy some books three days before he committed suicide. He must have planned to continue studying."
