"father."

In the mourning hall, Ji Xi'an, who was finishing his worship, heard footsteps behind him, saw Ji Shinan coming in, bowed his head and gave way to the side.

Ji Shinan nodded slightly, as he agreed, and didn't say much, just silently took the three sticks of incense handed over by Ji Bo who was guarding the mourning hall, and his eyes fell on Ji Xiwu who was lying quietly in the coffin, with deep eyes .After a while, he held up the incense and bowed down.

The white candles on the sacrificial table had already burned more than half, and layers of wax oil were piled up on the candlesticks.The huge black "Dian" character stands against the white wall, swaying in the faint candlelight, showing a bit of loneliness in the silence.

Inserting the incense into the censer covered with ashes, Ji Shinan turned around and looked at Ji Xi'an who was at the side, and said, "Is your mother feeling better?"

Hearing this, Ji Xi'an bowed his head respectfully: "It's much better. It's just that mother cares about Dad's body more, and often whispers in her ear, telling Dad not to be too busy for a while, and hurting myself."

"My old bones can hold on for the time being." Ji Shinan's words paused for a moment, as if looking at the inscription on the wall for a while, he fell into a trance.Seeing this, Ji Xi'an didn't dare to interrupt easily, and waited for Ji Shinan to come back to his senses.

After about a cup of tea, Ji Shi Nanfang lowered his head, his expression remained motionless, and he couldn't see any clues.He didn't look at Ji Xi'an either, just said: "I have something to go out later, don't wait for me to eat. You are not too young, you can help Ji Bo entertain the guests." After a pause, Ji Shinan slightly A gleam of light flashed in Lian's eyes, "Especially at the Pei family, don't be negligent. I heard that the fourth young lady of the Pei family passed out again in the morning. Remember to go and see on behalf of the Ji family and bring some good things to greet you. "

Ji Xi'an obviously didn't know about Ye Jieman's fainting, he was slightly startled, and then obediently complied.Seeing Ji Shinan's words, he raised his feet and walked out, his lips moved, and he couldn't help calling him: "Father."

Ji Shinan stopped, and Ji Xi'an's hesitant voice came from behind: "The Pei family...is something wrong?"

Although Ji Xi'an didn't like to pay attention to these commercial disputes, but after all, he was from the Ji family, and some rumors inevitably spread to his ears.What's more, when I went to look for Yaoyuan a few days ago, I saw that he looked haggard, and I couldn't help feeling suspicious in my heart.Ask him, but don't say anything, presumably it's the Pei family's business.Reminiscent of Pei Yaoyun's sudden return, Ji Xi'an naturally guessed the seriousness of the matter.

"You don't need to worry about these things." Ji Shinan didn't turn his head, and didn't answer Ji Xi'an's question directly, but just dropped the words, "I know you and Pei Yaoyuan are close friends, but you are Ji's family after all, there are some things that you can help If you can't help, don't drag yourself into the muddy water. This is your duty. You are not too young, so don't bring trouble to the Ji family, you know?"

After saying that, Ji Shinan ignored Ji Xi'an's reaction and stepped out of the mourning hall without hesitation.

Ji Xi'an watched as Ji Shinan's figure disappeared from sight, a bitter smile appeared on his lips, and he turned to look at Ji Xiwu in the coffin.The face of the woman in the coffin is still clear, and the brows and eyes are as quiet as a virgin.Ji Xi'an sighed suddenly, and murmured in a voice that only he could hear: "This Ji Mansion is really meaningless. You have been busy for so many years, but the ending is not so bleak..."

Here, Ji Shinan, who had left the mourning hall, had already walked out, and the attendants guarding the door followed quickly.The man was dressed in a black dress, with a solid figure, buttoned up meticulously, and there were no wrinkles on his clothes. He followed Ji Shinan expressionlessly and walked out of the house.

After leaving Ji's mansion, Ji Shinan opened his mouth and said in a low voice, "Xiao Song."

"Yes." The man called Xiao Song answered behind Ji Shinan.

"When you go back, pay more attention to Mrs. Pei Shao. I always feel that something is wrong with her." Ji Shinan frowned slightly, and tilted his head to order, "You said you saw Ning Xin coming out of her room before, did you Is it?"

"Yes." The man lowered his head, his voice was like iron.

"Ning Xin..." Ji Shinan repeated, his expression was a little ponderous, and Fang Zheng's expression changed for a moment, "Forget it, she shouldn't be able to make any big waves. She probably wants to find a murderer for Wu'er. I just don't know Mrs. Pei. Why do you care so much?" After a pause, "Did you find any abnormalities during this time?"

The man pursed his lips silently, his lowered eyes flickered, and then he shook his head: "I haven't noticed it yet, but I just feel that Mrs. Pei Shao's words and deeds are always a little weird."

"En." Ji Shinan didn't doubt the other party's words, he kept walking, turned into an alley, and continued walking forward, with a dignified look on his face.In fact, he sent someone to thoroughly check Ye Jieman's background early in the morning, but he did not find any connection with Wu'er, so he was sure that the two did not know each other.It's just that the more this is the case, the more unpredictable Ye Jieman's behavior becomes.Could it be that this person really only kept asking about those things because of Wu'er, whom he had never met before?Or... is there actually another conspiracy?

Behind him, Xiao Song raised his head.Looking up, the setting sun flushed that slightly dark face.His hand moved and touched the hem of his clothes, but he stopped short.In those dark pupils, a complicated expression appeared very quickly, and his right hand lowered again, as if nothing had happened, he quickly raised his heel.

After walking like this for another moment, the road gradually became less crowded.Smoke curled up from the roof and scattered into the reddish afterglow of the sky.Ji Shinan didn't say the destination, so Xiao Song naturally didn't ask, and just followed behind silently, protecting Ji Shinan's safety.Ji Shinan didn't stop until he reached a small bridge.

There are a few branches of wisteria beside the bridge, which are in full bloom, with clusters of flowers hanging down, appearing somewhat lively in the silence.Some were lifted up by the evening wind and landed on the bluestone beside the bridge.Ji Shinan turned around and turned into a restaurant by the bridge.

The shopkeeper in front of the counter raised his head to see Ji Shinan, was slightly startled, and then rushed out to greet him.

"Old position." Xiao Song said briefly behind him, and was soon led by the shopkeeper to the second floor.

When he reached the door of the private room, the shopkeeper stopped in his tracks, bowed and saluted: "Master Ji, the things are ready, please use them slowly."

Ji Shinan nodded, didn't say much greetings, and walked in directly through the door.

The private room is not luxuriously decorated, but it is very grand.There are nine bronze wall lamps on the wall, which are carved into different animal heads.There is a painting screen in the room, on which is an ink and wash landscape painting, which is majestic and magnificent.Ji Shinan sat down next to the table, and a person slowly stepped out from behind the screen.

The setting sun outside the window quickly fell, and the red light gradually faded.A woman in a brocade skirt came out from behind the screen, walked slowly, and carried two medicine bags in her hand.

"To make a long story short." Ji Shinan was not surprised by this, as if he knew that someone was in the room, he took the hot tea that had been brewed on the table steadily, straightened his body and took a sip.

"Yes." The woman nodded slightly, took a step forward, walked in front of Ji Shinan, lowered her voice and said, "Before Miss Fifth passed away, Madam met Young Master Ji Yue a few times, and the two of them stayed in the room After waiting for a while, I dismissed the others. Afterwards, I wanted to inquire about some things, but Madam's words were very strict, and I didn't dare to provoke Madam's suspicion, so I didn't continue to ask. It's just... the servant suspects that Madam knows something about Miss Fifth Others may not know, but the master should understand that because of the matter of the third wife, the wife has always been at odds with the eldest and fourth young masters, and I feel that something is really wrong for Master Ji Yue to come to my wife. It was before the fifth lady's accident again. "

"During the time Wu'er left, what happened to Madam?"

The woman pondered for a while, then shook her head: "That's not true." After finishing speaking, the woman hesitated for a while, and then continued: "But before Fifth Young Miss left the Ji Mansion, the Madam sent Cheng'er to look for Ning's guard. This is a matter for the master. I must have known it to some extent. Last night, Guard Ning secretly came to see his wife and mentioned this matter. At that time, I just exited from my wife's room, remembering that I forgot to take the empty medicine bowl and went back to get it. I just happened to hear Voices from inside."

Ji Shinan didn't speak, just listened with a blank face, and only said in a low voice: "What else did you say?"

The woman raised her eyes to look at Ji Shinan, and replied: "I also talked about some things about the fourth young lady of the Pei family. Speaking of which, that young lady Pei seems to be inquiring about the death of the fifth young lady recently, which is really puzzling. After all, these things involve The Ji family is secretive, not to mention that the Pei family's matter has just been exposed, and if she investigates it, will it be..."

Ji Shinan raised his hand, as if he knew what the other party wanted to say, he stopped the woman's words in time, and interrupted: "I will pay attention to her side, just pay attention to Madam's side."

"Yes, sir." The woman stopped talking obediently, without further words.

Ji Shinan nodded, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "How is Madam's health?"

"Going back to the master, the servant observed for a while, and found that Madam's body does not look serious, but the servant is not very clear why she is still sick in bed." The woman frowned, looking a little puzzled.

"I see." Ji Shinan glanced at the sky, "Is there anything else?"

Seeing that the other party shook his head, Ji Shinan ordered: "It's getting late, take the medicine and send it back to Madam first, don't arouse others' suspicion."

"Yes." The woman nodded and silently exited the room.

"Xiao Song, push the window open, I want some wind." Ji Shinan lowered his head and took a sip of tea, narrowing his eyes slightly, and said suddenly.

The man in black standing beside him walked over without saying a word and opened the window. The half-set sun let out the residual blush on the ground, and a cool breeze came, carrying a little fragrance of flowers.

Ji Shinan looked out of the window, seemingly in thought.There was smoke from the kitchen outside the window, and lively human voices came to my ears, but the room fell into silence.The half-light and half-darkness of the corner of the eye dyed a strand of white hair on Ji Shinan's temples red, and even his solemn expression seemed to be a little gentler in the setting sun.

"Xiao Song, you have been with me for several years." After a long time, Ji Shinan suddenly opened his mouth, without taking his eyes off the window.

"18 years." Xiao Song replied briefly with his back still straight.

"It's been 18 years...you can be considered to have grown up with Wu'er." Ji Shinan's expression relaxed a little, and there was some emotion in his eyes, "Among my five children, Wu'er is the smartest and has the best personality. The most like me. Chuan'er is too reckless, Xi'an is too weak, Yue'er is smarter than him, but too gloomy. I just didn't expect that it would end up like this." After a pause, Ji Shinan had a complicated look on his face , the voice seemed a little tired for the first time, "It's also my fault."

Xiao Song lowered his head, without any expression on his face: "Master's condolences."

Ji Shinan waved his hand, sighed, and didn't continue talking.

The expression of the man behind him moved, and a large ripple appeared in his silent pupils, and he gradually calmed down after a while.He suddenly opened his mouth abnormally first: "Miss Fifth's death...do you really not investigate?"

"How to check?" Ji Shinan smiled wryly, "Check and check, it's not my family's head, what else can I do? If it is spread, it is also a joke. If it was someone else, I would have eviscerated The cramps killed him ten thousand times. Now..." Ji Shinan clenched his hands, then let them go, "I'm the one who's sorry for Wu'er."

Hearing what Ji Shinan said, Xiao Song didn't ask any further questions, and seemed to understand the result of all this.The setting sun stretched his shadow very long, and a woman's face appeared in his mind.Her skin is as white as snow, her hair is as black as ink, and when she raises her eyes, it seems that the sky is full of stars, which makes people unable to look away.Even if the knife fell on the neck, he didn't blink, as if his own life was just a child's play.All the lives of the people in the world, in her eyes, are probably not worth the slightest attention.

He raised his hand quietly, and behind Ji Shinan's invisible, he stroked the hard piece of wood under the skirt of his arms with his fingertips, his eyes showed a trace of struggle and doubt.

The moment he saw the date of birth on the back, he had already recognized without any effort that it belonged to her.It's just...why would that woman have this?
