Tao Buchang led Jian Jia to walk slowly on the road, strolling leisurely.

For a while, I looked at the little clay figurines made by this family, and for a while, I stared at the peach blossoms coming out of the wall and praised that they were so beautiful.

Jian Jia has a lot of things on her mind, and she is not a fool. From the conversation just now, she has already guessed that Sun Wei's heart is not with her at all.

But if Sun Wei didn't like him, why did he try his best to help him study medicine and patiently teach him to examine himself?

If he doesn't like himself, why is he so concerned about his own affairs, and still gives him all kinds of exquisite and fun toys from time to time?

If he didn't like himself, why did he tell himself that he believed in himself and wanted to find a chance to reverse the case for himself after he was in trouble and betrayed his relatives?

Why?

Is there really such a pure friendship between men and women in the world?

Jian Jia doesn't believe it...

I would rather believe that he is empathizing with another, rather than having no personal feelings for him all the time.

Tao Buhuan secretly looked at Jian Jia's expression, seeing that he couldn't arouse Jian Jia's interest no matter what.

So he forcefully stuffed a pack of preserved fruit into Jian Jia's hands, and said to her, "Try one, it's sour and delicious, it will refresh you."

Jian Jia looked down at the preserved fruit, and the color was indeed attractive, just looking at it already made people salivate.

But when I saw this preserved fruit, I thought of Sun Wei and Li Shi, and I felt a soreness in my heart, and I felt very uncomfortable.

Tao Buchang put her shoulders close to her and said, "This preserved fruit is bought to eat, not to see. It looks sour, maybe it won't be so sour after eating."

After she finished speaking, she took a chance and stuffed one directly into Jian Jia's mouth, and said with a smile, "You are really like a bottle of sour vinegar now, your heart is sour, your expression is sour, and it also adds a bit of bitterness."

Jian Jia sighed: "Miss Jiang, I'm in a bad mood, please don't make fun of me."

"Okay, I'm not going to make fun of you, I want to ask you a serious question." Tao Buhuan let go of her, walked quickly in front of her to stop her from standing still, and said seriously, "I'll take you out alone this time It's because Mrs. Jiang asked me to bring you something, and she wants to give you two choices, and you must make your choice in front of me now."

"what is the problem?"

Tao Buhuan stared at Jian Jia, and asked word by word: "Liberty or Sun Wei, which one do you choose?"

Jian Jia was stunned: "What is the relationship between these two options?"

Tao did not change her smile: "It is inconvenient for me to explain the connection with you, but now you have two options in front of you, you just need to tell me to choose freedom or—Sun Wei?"

Jian Jia pursed her lips and lowered her head without speaking.

"Although Sun Wei is a good little brother, compared to freedom, he should be nothing at all."

Tao Buchang said self-consciously, "But judging by your current demeanor, maybe my previous idea was wrong, you prefer Sun Wei to freedom.

If this is the case, I will report this matter with Mr. Jiang, but it is a pity that with all your abilities, you returned to the death row and lived a dark, half-dead life for a man who didn't like you at all-is it worth it? "

"I hope you won't regret it in the future." After Tao Buhuan finished speaking, he turned around and headed back towards Sun Wei's small house.

"Wait—" Jian Jia stopped her from behind, and when she raised her eyes, she found that her eye sockets were red, "I don't want to go back to death row, I don't want to go back..."

Tao Buhuan looked at her, and repeated lightly: "You can only give up Sun Wei if you don't want to go back to death row. Are you really sure you want to give up on him?"

Jian Jia nodded slowly and firmly, her body trembling slightly: "When I was alone in the sky prison, I didn't think about anyone, including Sun Wei, and I never thought about him..."

Tao Buhuan watched her silently for a while, then walked over and hugged her gently.

Jian Jia's tears fell down in big drops, her small trembling body was as powerless as a dead leaf in a strong wind.

She can empathize with Jian Jia, perhaps her fear is far greater than Jian Jia's.The dungeon of Maigulou is darker and more terrifying than the dungeon of the imperial court.

She couldn't see any light, couldn't hear any sound, and couldn't tell the direction. There was only a single iron wall around her.

She feels neither time nor space.It seems to have become an ant, lost in the boundless.

No one talked to her, she couldn't see anything, she couldn't tell the difference between day and night, and in the end she seemed to forget who she was.

She was one step away from madness.

But fortunately, she still has memories of the past in her mind, and she knows that Jiang Qi is transforming into Jiang Youbo, going through the same dangers as herself, and struggling in the mud.

Her path is not easier than her own, she will not give up, and neither can she.

So I tried to find a way to leave scratches on the hard iron wall, scratching thousands of times if one time was not enough, silently counting the days and nights I was imprisoned in, constantly recalling the past bits and pieces of the Jiang family, and finally finally After coming down, I won't really go crazy.

Jian Jia leaned on Tao Buhuan's shoulder.After a while, a large piece was wet with tears.

Tao Buhuan touched her head and said lightly: "Actually, you also understand in your heart that Sun Wei is nothing compared to freedom. When you have worked so hard to seize the opportunity to come out with Master Jiang to solve the crime , when you were struggling in the dungeon, what you were thinking at that moment was what you should choose the most at this moment."

After a long time, there was only a muffled "hmm" from Jian Jia.

Tao Buhuan looked at the distant sky and remembered the scene in the dungeon of Maigulou.

In addition to the lingering fear, I firmly believed that there was still a light in my heart at that time. Although I couldn't see it with my eyes, I could always see it in my heart.

In the small courtyard...

Faced with Jiang Yousi's question, Sun Wei tightened his throat, stared at the dishes on the table for a long time, and then answered cautiously: "A strange thing happened that day. Before I went to investigate the murder case at the Escort , Yang Nie once looked for me.

He handed me something and then disappeared, and that was the last time I saw him. "

"What did Yang Nie give you?"

Sun Weidao: "He gave me a wooden box, and he told me that if something happened to him, let me open the wooden box.

After seeing his corpse, I opened it as I said, but there was only a small note in the wooden box with two words written on it—Mingzhi. "

"Ming Zhi?" Jiang Yousi recalled the scientific examination questions back then, and it was exactly this question that Yang Nie answered in the palace examination that he participated in.

At that time, Jiang Yousi was passing the county exam, and he had chatted with his colleagues about the topic of the palace exam.

Although there are only two simple words in this question, it is indeed a problem that is recognized as difficult to solve.

Because in previous years, in addition to the general question, there will be some explanations and directions for the palace examination questions, and candidates can answer accordingly.

But when Yang Nie was absent, there was only a general question without any explanation.

Yang Nie didn't take part in that imperial examination, why did he leave such a note to Sun Wei, and what does this matter have to do with Jian Jia?

"There is one thing that doesn't make sense. Why did Yang Nie give you the note? He knows you?" Jiang Yousi pressed on the details.

Sun Wei hesitated and said: "Master Jiang, I'll tell you the truth, I did know Yang Nie a long time ago, he is my best friend.

Therefore, he entrusted things to me with confidence when he had a premonition of danger. "

"What's the matter between you and Jian Jia? Jian Jia is Yang Nie's fiancée, and you are Yang Nie's best friend. The meeting between you and Jian Jia is not an accident, but a human arrangement?" Jiang Yousi boldly guess.

"My lord, it was Yang Nie who arranged for me to get acquainted with Miss Jian Jia, and it was also he who asked me to teach Miss Jian Jia medical skills and examination skills."

Sun Wei smiled wryly, "Otherwise, where would I have the mood and energy to teach a lady raised in a boudoir? It's all because Yang Nie asked me, so I reluctantly agreed to help him."

Jiang Yousi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why did Yang Nie ask you to help Jian Jia?"

Sun Wei was taken aback for a moment, murmuring, not knowing how to answer.

At this time, Tao Buchang's voice came in lightly at the door: "It's not necessary to ask, of course it's because Yang Nie likes Jian Jia, so he went out of his way to help Jian Jia.

Mr. Jiang, although you are extremely smart in other aspects, you are still a mess in terms of emotions. "

Jiang Yousi was not angry when he was teased like this, he turned sideways and looked at Tao Buhuan and Jian Jia who walked in one after another.

Jian Jia's expression is much more energetic than before, it seems that Tao Buhuan has comforted her.

"Brother Sun, these candied fruits and snacks are all for you." Taobuhuan put the small bag of preserved fruits on the table, picked a stool and sat down next to Jiang Youpan again, continued to tilt his head and said, "Our Mr. Jiang Everything is good, but she lacks a muscle. She can analyze the case clearly and well, but she is not so brilliant when it comes to relationships, so someone needs to point out a point or two from time to time. I will sit here and listen to your discussion, and you continue."

Jiang Yousi looked at the peaches for a long time, but he turned his head and asked Sun Wei: "Yang Nie likes Jianjia?"

Sun Wei glanced at Jian Jia, and Jian Jia said, "Young Master Sun, tell me, I just want to wash away my grievances."

After Sun Wei nodded, he said cautiously: "Miss Jian Jia, you have known Yang Nie since childhood, don't you feel the slightest bit of affection from him?"

Jian Jia was silent, looking down at the preserved fruit on the table.

"Yang Nie's father joined the army at the sixth rank at the time, and he made friends with all the dignitaries.

He has been fascinated by his ears and eyes since he was a child, and he is well versed in the art of war and has outstanding literary talents.At that time, who in Jiangzhou City didn't know that there was a supernatural figure like Yang Nie?

Almost everyone believed that he wanted to embark on an official career, enter the Imperial Academy, and become a pillar of the imperial court.

Miss Jian Jia, to say something that might not please you, although your family is also a wealthy family, you are still a businessman after all. With Yang Nie's background and such a future, you can definitely find someone who is more well-matched than you. Yang Nie's parents are also there. After winning the exam, he wanted to call off the marriage, but in the end it was nothing. Do you know the reason? "

"It's Yang Nie——"

"That's right, it was Yang Nie himself who said that I would not marry unless you were the one to marry." Sun Wei spoke forcefully, revealing all the secrets that had been kept in his heart for a long time, "Miss Jianjia, he knows you, he knows your hobbies, he knows You are not willing to be a boudoir woman.

So when I learned that you wanted to study medicine, I tried everything possible to ask me to help you.He prepared all the medicinal materials, tools and books for you to study medicine for you, and he has worked hard for you... "

Jian Jia's lips trembled, "Why did he never say these things, why did he let you come?"

Sun Wei shook his head: "I don't know either. Since his father had an accident and he missed the palace exam, he has completely changed. Since then, he has reduced the number of meetings with me until—" Sun Wei choked for a moment, then continued , "Until something happens to him..."
