Chapter 54 The Truth About Death

When Ji Xiwu heard Ye Jieman's question, she folded her hands and showed her an unclear smile, neither nodded nor shook her head, but said ambiguously: "You are really curious about my affairs."

Seeing Ji Xiwu's half-smile expression, Ye Jieman's expression froze subtly.Before she could speak, the other party had already chuckled, and then said softly, "It seems that you like me very much?"

Although it was a question, the words were full of teasing, Ye Jieman blushed, and looked away in embarrassment, suppressing the flustered beating heart for a moment.For a moment, Fang pretended to be calm and said: "Everyone has curiosity, I just don't want to help you without knowing anything, so as not to regret doing something wrong before it's too late."

Hearing this, Ji Xiwu didn't expose it, but just leaned against the wall and smiled intriguingly.Ye Jieman's face became a little hot again, quite annoyed, she couldn't help scolding in a low voice: "What's so funny?"

"It's just that you're funny. If you're not happy, then I won't laugh." After speaking, the laughter gradually disappeared in the room, but the smile in Ji Xiwu's eyes still remained.Ye Jieman clenched her sleeves secretly, changed the subject to break the embarrassment, and asked: "Listen to Ning Xin, you disguised your appearance and left the house without telling everyone. Then you must come out of the house." Did you guess the anomaly afterwards?"

Ji Xiwu resumed his usual tone, nodded slightly, and wrote lightly: "The news must have leaked from Ji's mansion, there is no doubt about it. It's just that I can't be sure who it is, and I need some clues. But... anyway Can't escape those people."

Ye Jieman knew that Ji Xiwu was referring to the family members with whom she was related by blood, so she sighed in her heart, and then Ji Xiwu's voice sounded in her ears: "Do you want to know how I drowned?" ?”

Hearing this, Ye Jieman was startled, and looked up at Ji Xiwu, and saw her staring straight at him, her red eyes dangling with an elusive brilliance in the half-brightness and half-darkness.The two faced each other in silence for a moment, and then Ji Xiwu turned his eyes away and landed on the closed window.There, the sun cast half a fan of light and shadow, illuminating the gray ground, as if paved with colored brocade glass.

"At that time, I helped my father go to the west of the city to inquire about something, stayed in an inn in the west of the city, and planned to leave tomorrow after finishing the business. After dinner, I saw that it was still early, and I didn't feel sleepy, so I went Going out for a stroll. The west of the city was very busy that night, which happened to be the time when you married into the Pei family." Speaking of this, Ji Xiwu paused for a moment, glanced over, paused for a moment on Ye Jieman, and continued to look at the strand "Although the news of Pei Yaoxu's sudden death was deliberately concealed by the Pei family, there are many people in the Pei family, and there are still some rumors spreading among the people. What's more, the wedding time is set at night, which is really weird. Everyone Surprised in my heart, many people ran to watch, and I had nothing to do, so I followed."

"So you were among the crowd on the street at that time..." Ye Jieman couldn't explain the complicated emotions in his heart for a while, and murmured in a low voice.The two never met before their lifetimes, and they were once so close that they were only a few steps apart.It's just one person inside the sedan chair and one person outside the sedan chair, after all, there are two worlds.

Ji Xiwu nodded, seeming to have guessed what Ye Jieman was thinking, and suddenly smiled silently: "Fate is really a wonderful thing. You and I had no fate in life, and I didn't expect that there would be such a relationship after death."

Ye Jieman looked at the flickering smile on Ji Xiwu's lips, felt a little warmth in his chest, pursed the corners of his lips, and said in a low voice, "You must have heard about Pei Yaoxu's death, maybe at that time Take it as a joke."

"It's not fake." Ji Xiwu replied honestly, seeing Ye Jieman's dissatisfied expression, said with a smile, "A shady marriage that has attracted much attention, the bride was tricked into being a widow and she didn't even know what was waiting for her. Tragic fate, I thought at the time that if the woman in the sedan chair knew about it, she wouldn’t know what kind of funny expression she would have. But I didn’t expect that I would see it in the end.” The smile on Ji Xiwu’s lips suddenly became more self-deprecating, “Myself He even entered the bridal chamber for Pei Yaoxu in the bridegroom's gown, and the most outrageous thing was that he was a ghost, thinking about it now, it's unbelievable."

The memory of that night appeared in Ye Jieman's mind, as vivid as if it happened yesterday.I still remember that I was frightened half of my soul by the woman in front of me. I didn't expect that now the two of them can talk peacefully, but I actually... have my heart moved by a female ghost.How ridiculous.

Thinking of this, Ye Jieman shook his head unconsciously, lowering his head and laughing at himself.

Here, Ji Xiwu has already stopped laughing, and continued: "There were a lot of people watching that night. We arrived at the Green River. Maybe everyone has rushed to see you. There is no one around the Green River, only a little girl in pink squatting on the bank of the river and putting out a lamp. In the dark, that lake lamp is very attractive Pay attention. I only thought that the girl was playful, so she ignored it and stood there. The girl didn’t stay for long, she glanced at the lake lantern and left. I didn’t expect that the lake lantern suddenly burst when it floated not far from my feet Come on, a puff of powder spilled out. I was startled that something was wrong, I quickly covered my face and stepped back, but a little bit of it was still on my body. I never thought that at the same time, my back was being pushed hard one after another. When I reacted, I fell into the river. In the blink of an eye, I only had time to catch a glimpse of the pink skirt and passed away. I guessed that the girl had turned back behind me in secret. I fell into the river suddenly, and I couldn’t help but choked on a few mouthfuls of water. The powder melts immediately when touched with water, and even the taste of water is a bit astringent. But in the blink of an eye, I already felt dizzy and weak. I was sober for a short time, but I didn’t expect someone to grab my ankle in the water and drag me directly to the bottom of the water with lightning speed.”

Speaking of this, Ji Xiwu didn't continue talking, but stopped talking, and looked up at Ye Jieman.What happened after that, she didn't need to tell them, they both knew it well.

Ye Jieman's fingers hanging by his side clenched tightly, as if he could imagine the momentary moment of life and death.She only felt that her chest was a little dull, as if it was not Ji Xiwu who was dragged into the river, but herself.She was silent for a moment, and Fang responded again: "You...why are you willing to tell me about this?"

Ji Xiwu's red eyes looked at Ye Jieman without blinking. After a while, Fang straightened up leaning against the wall, walked slowly to the table and sat down, and said lightly: "Didn't you say that you don't want to have nothing?" Do you know how to do things for me? That being the case, it’s okay to tell you this, lest you think I’m hiding everything from you and hurt your heart.” After a pause, Ji Xiwu smiled at Ye Jieman, "We are grasshoppers on the same rope now, I have to try to take your feelings into consideration."

Hearing this, Ye Jieman's eyes flickered, and seeing Ji Xiwu looking at her calmly, she approached, sat down at the table, and said softly: "I heard from the government that there are many stains on your body. Alcohol, what's going on?"

Hearing the question, Ji Xiwu smiled sarcastically: "It should be that after I died, they sprinkled it on my clothes deliberately to hide people's eyes. Except for necessary situations when I go out, I always don't drink at all, so as not to cause trouble." After a pause, she lowered her voice, "Everything that happened that night was obviously arranged earlier. The girl who put the lantern, the fans in the lake lantern, and the people lurking in the water are all a well-planned plan, haha .”

Ye Jieman frowned: "But... why do they know that you will go to Green River to lay an ambush in advance?"

Ji Xiwu glanced at Ye Jieman, her eyes were calm: "In the past, when I came to the west of the city, I often went to hang out at the Green River to see the scenery. This time, I also deliberately found a nearby inn to stay. The person who harmed me must have been familiar with it for a long time. I designed this one because of my preference.”

Hearing what Ji Xiwu said, Ye Jieman's heart felt a little sad, and he didn't speak for a while.Her eyes fell on the other party, and seeing Ji Xiwu's expression was deep, as if he was planning something, it was hard to figure out what was going on.Now that Ye Jieman learned about this, her emotions became more and more complicated. On the one hand, she was shocked by the cruelty of the enemy in the dark, and on the other hand, she felt sorry for Ji Xiwu.Although the other party didn't say anything, the pain at the moment of drowning in the river is self-evident.

There was a brief silence in the room.After a while, Ye Jieman opened his mouth and said, "Then what are you going to do next?"

Hearing the words, Ji Xiwu raised her eyes, but after a while, she recovered her usual tone: "Since we have made it clear to you, let's find someone first."

"Who?"

Seeing Ye Jieman looking up, Ji Xiwu raised his eyebrows, his eyes were deep: "Cheng'er."

Ye Jieman didn't expect to come to the mourning hall for the third time in such a short time since he came to Ji Mansion.As soon as she stepped through the door, she saw everyone's eyes falling on her.Perhaps she showed up a lot, and the servants in the mourning hall were a little surprised and curious when they saw Mrs. Pei Shao coming again, but they didn't say much.

This time, Ye Jieman saw a strange figure with a generous back standing in the mourning hall at a glance, dressed in a navy blue embroidered python, which made him look majestic.She was slightly startled, and saw that the other party seemed to have heard her footsteps, and turned her head.

The man's face was old, with wrinkles around his eyes and gray hair at the temples, but his face was solemn and serious. It was Ji Shinan, the Patriarch of the Ji family.

Ye Jieman hadn't seen Ji Shinan since the last banquet, and he didn't expect to bump into Ji Shinan in the mourning hall at this moment.Seeing this, she quickly bowed down and saluted, and said respectfully, "Master Ji."

Ji Shinan turned around, his expression unchanged, and nodded at Ye Jieman: "So it's Madam Pei Shao, did you come to pay homage to the little girl?"

"En." Ye Jieman's brows flashed a little hesitation, but she still responded softly.

"I didn't expect Mrs. Pei Shao to care so much about my little girl, and she came to the mourning hall several times to pay respects." Ji Shinan's words were low, and Ye Jieman felt a little uneasy when he heard the other party's gaze on her with a questioning look.She knew that too many words would lead to mistakes, so she just nodded and said simply: "It should."

Ji Shinan looked at Ye Jieman for a long while, Fang looked away, looked at Ji Xiwu's corpse lying in the coffin, and said slowly: "Madam Pei is from the north of the city, right? You are so virtuous and gentle, it's really good for the Pei family to marry you." Blessing."

"Jie Man dare not take it."

"Young Madam, you are being modest." Ji Shinan opened his mouth with his hands behind his back, facing Ye Jieman, "I heard from my servant that you persuaded Ning Xin to go back to the room?"

Ye Jieman already knew that Ji Shinan couldn't hide this matter, so she lowered her head: "It's true."

Hearing this, Ji Shinan just turned around, and his eyes fell back on Ye Jieman. There seemed to be deep meaning in his eyes, and he said after a long while: "I have also heard what you said to persuade Ning Xin. I don't know how Mrs. Pei thinks about the little girl dead?"

Ye Jieman secretly clenched her knuckles, feeling that Ji Shinan was deliberately testing herself, and pretended to be calm, "I just think that Ms. Ji is extremely intelligent, and I don't believe that she will drown easily."

"Extraordinary intelligence..." Ji Shinan's expression moved slightly, he sighed with emotion, and murmured, "Yes, among my many sons and daughters, there is indeed none who is as talented as Wu'er. It's just... Heaven is jealous of Yingcai, Wu'er finally left me."

"Master Ji's condolences," Ye Jieman's heart moved, remembering that Ji Xiwu had told himself before that the rumors circulating in the market were things that Ji Shinan acquiesced, and couldn't help saying, "However, Jieman recently heard that someone mentioned that the government's subordinates Don't Master Ji think those are unreasonable?"

"Isn't it unreasonable?" Ji Shinan repeated, and suddenly walked towards Ye Jieman, and then stood in front of her, Shen Yu said, "I don't know what Madam Pei Shao thinks, how is it reasonable?"

"This..." Ye Jieman didn't know how to answer, she couldn't just say bluntly that the murderer might be a member of the Ji family.She thought of all this, could it be that Ji Shinan couldn't think of it?

Ji Shinan looked at Ye Jieman earnestly, with tiredness in the corners of his eyes: "Since I don't know what to say, Mrs. Pei Shao should not say anything. Once some words are spoken, they may become bad words and cause fire." , Ji Shinan took a deep look at Ye Jieman, then walked out and disappeared in the mourning hall.
