The Zhu family was cold-blooded. They did not repent until the very last moment and were quick to plead guilty as soon as they heard they had to sign a document.

Wang Mei clenched her hands tightly, refusing to plead guilty. She said aggrievedly: "I just sold my own daughter. What's wrong with that? Besides, I didn't know Li Yi would kill Zhu Yue. If I knew it would be like this..."

She asked for more money.

Shi Shuang felt sad for Zhu Yue. She took a deep breath, and a cold look appeared on the corners of her mouth. "The murderer is guilty of the death penalty. You will not die."

After hearing this, Wang Mei signed the contract.

The next second, she was dragged into the prison and beaten with a stick. A few days later, she was exiled thousands of miles away.

In the past two days, Shi Wangquan has been staying with several people. After getting busy, he gradually forgot the fear in his heart. When he saw Shi Shuang, he began to have another idea, which was to take this opportunity to ease the relationship with his daughter.

"Princess, this is the tea I made."

"Princess, is your bed too hard? This is the rabbit fur blanket I asked someone to bring from the mansion. It will be very comfortable for you to put on the bed."

Yu Zi took it and agreed, "I'll make the bed for you."

If Xie Wei didn't know the relationship between the two, he would have hit her. But he didn't stop her. He thought it was a good thing for Ah Shuang to drink water and sleep on a soft bed. He looked at the princess' eyes asking for help.

His brows relaxed and he went to find Wu An.

"Master Wu, let's talk about the case..."

Shi Shuang gritted her teeth. Okay, he actually left her behind. He won’t be allowed to go to bed for three days! She looked at the Shi family and smiled politely, “Really, no need. I can pour water myself when I’m thirsty. If the bed is too hard, I can make it myself.”

Shi Wangquan shook his hands awkwardly.

"The princess is busy. I am very happy that I can help with this little matter."

"As do I." Yu Zi bowed and nodded sincerely. She knew that besides the people imprisoned in the backyard, the master's biggest worry was the princess. The master owed the princess and felt sorry for her. Every time she talked about this, she felt distressed.

I feel sorry for the difficulties and sadness that the old man has to go through.

I also understand why the princess is not close to me.

Shi Shuang lowered her head. She thought, if the original owner could get tea poured by her father and a soft bed made by her mother when she was a child, she would definitely be very happy. Lord Shi wanted to make it up to her, but it was too late and he gave it to the wrong person.

She looked at Shi Wangquan's nervous and expectant eyes, and saw a few white hairs on his head.

Those eyes, which didn't get enough rest, were red and blue.

She softened her heart, "Master Shi, thank you and your wife for the rabbit fur blanket. I like it very much. It's late at night. You two should go to the next room to rest. We still have to investigate the case tomorrow."

Shi Wangquan and the other person nodded and left.

Shi Shuang said calmly, with his back to the two of them, "Master Shi, the truth is about to come to light. Don't be trapped in temporary fear. Take care of yourself."

After a long time, an unbelievable voice came from behind.

"Hey! I got it." Shi Wangquan looked at his daughter with sobs.

At this time, Xie Wei had already discussed with Wu An about compensation for the family of the deceased. He returned to the house, waved away Gardenia, gently closed the door, took off his coat, and saw that she was pretending to sleep.

He raised his hand, wanting to hold her in his arms.

But, it was avoided.

He laughed secretly: "A Shuang, are you angry?"

"You knew I didn't know how to face Shi Wangquan, yet you still left me here alone." Shi Shuang hid in the innermost part, with her back against the wall, looking at the man angrily. After a while, tears filled her eyes, turning red.

Seeing this, Xie Wei caressed her face with heartache.

"I was wrong. I shouldn't have left you alone. Originally, I wanted you to talk to Master Shi as soon as possible. Next time, I will..."

"Will there be a next time?" Shi Shuang asked with her cheeks puffed up.

Even though she had a wide space and had seen big scenes, she couldn't help feeling wronged when facing love and Xie Wei. However, Xie Wei's strong shoulders made her realize that she could also feel wronged.

Xie Wei smiled dotingly: "There won't be a next time."

In the middle of the night, there was a knock on the door. Shi Wangquan, wearing his coat, hurried to stop the anxious Wu An. He said, "Keep your voice down. What if you scare the princess? Prince, princess, are you awake?"

Ahem...

Shi Shuang smiled helplessly and said, "Forget it, there's no hope for him."

Xie Wei put shoes on her.

"Hold on."

He held her hand and looked at the people who were already dressed neatly. His eyes fell on the anxious Wu An and he had already guessed most of what was going on.

Shi Shuang asked: "Have you caught Li Yi?"

"Yes!" Wu An excitedly glanced at Shi Wangquan, as if to say, the princess has woken up, so she can finally tell, right? He stretched out his hand, motioning everyone to follow him, "An incense stick ago, Li Yi climbed out of the yard with the help of a ladder. As soon as he landed, he was pinned to the ground by the soldiers who were sent. Lord Xie is interrogating him."

Gardenia held the cloak, and Yu Zi took it, "Let me do it."

They lived in the yard near Li Yi to prevent the situation from changing. When they walked to the front yard, they heard the sounds of torture, but no screams.

Xie Wei said: "It seems that he is a tough guy."

Shi Wangquan shrank his shoulders. What should he do? He was still a little scared. He glanced at Yu Zi, then at his daughter. Well, no, as a man and a father, he couldn't be so weak.

Get close to the truth and get the truth.

It’s to eliminate fear.

"He has killed so many people, he deserves to die!"

Shi Shuang raised an eyebrow. How can you speak with such strength? It seems that you are well now.

Xie Yan heard the noise outside and raised his hand, signaling to stop beating him. He opened the door and let out a sigh of relief, "I've been beating him for a long time, even using salt water and pepper water, but he still won't speak."

As I got closer, the smell of blood hit me.

Yu Zi couldn't bear it anymore, so she covered her mouth, bent over, and ran outside to retch, "Master, I'm sorry..."

"If you're not feeling well, wait for me outside." Shi Wangquan took her handkerchief and gently wiped the residue from the corner of her mouth. "I'll be right out."

Yu Zi thought about it, held his hand, and said, "No, I'll accompany you."

Seeing someone coming, Li Yi raised his head, his eyes fell on Shi Shuang, and sneered, "They all say that you are a living Bodhisattva, a living immortal, who came down to save the people of Liming, but I think you are nothing."

Shi Shuang: “???”

What's the big deal about getting scolded?

Snap! Xie Yan picked up the whip and hit him. Seeing Li Yi spitting out blood in disdain, he said sternly, "Be more respectful."

Shi Shuang shook his head at Xie Yan, signaling the people behind him to be patient.

Looking at the man who was thinner than her, she smiled faintly: "What do you think? Do I need you to think? You are just a murderer, nothing, a poor guy that no one loves..."

"Nonsense!" Li Yi's eyes were red as he scanned the people present one by one, his voice choking with sobs, "Someone loves me. Love is such a sacred thing, how can it be experienced by ordinary people like you."

Shi Shuang curled up the corners of his mouth. The magic attack was effective.

"Oh? Then tell me, what is love? Can a murderer still love?"
