Upon returning to the East garden, Ji Yunshu remained silent. With a twisted expression, no one could guess.

Jing Rong followed her into the room. Seeing that she was holding onto the box and did not let go, he asked: "What's in the box? It actually makes one frown. "

"It's not a frown, it's just …" She shook her head. "Forget it. We'll talk about it tomorrow."

"If you knew who the murderer was, why did you wait until tomorrow?"

"Your Highness, did you forget that this one said that there was a high possibility that the culprit was actually two people? If we were to act now, we would alert the enemy."

"So, you already know who killed one of them?"

She hesitated for a moment before nodding. "I think so."

Jing Rong smiled. With his hands behind his back, he stepped into the room on the right. Without looking back, he said, "Then I will wait for tomorrow's show."

Creak ~ ~

The door slammed.

And he had only asked a single question. Who was one of the killers?

Ji Yunshu sat in the inner hall, her slender hands lightly tapping on the box in her arms. Accompanied by the small chains on the box, she let out an eerie sound …

Not long after, she got up and left, heading straight for the mourning hall where miss zhou's corpse was kept.

There were a few girls guarding inside the mourning hall. When they saw Ji Yunshu, they raised their eyes and bowed, obediently continuing to stand guard outside.

Inside was a coffin placed in the middle, the lid of coffin s had already been covered, covered with a piece of black cloth, and on top of the black cloth, a piece of jade was pressed down!

The old saying goes, the more emerald a jade is, the more it can ward off evil!

At this time, Old Steward from Zhou Family came in from the outside. With his back hunched, he held a candle in one hand and a hand on his abdomen, he slowly walked in front of Ji Yunshu and asked.

"Sir, you've come so late. Is there something you need?"

Ji Yunshu shook her head slightly. "It's nothing. I just came to take a look."

"If Mister needs anything, feel free to tell me. The old master has instructed me. I cannot neglect Mister."

"Old mister, there is no need to trouble yourself. I am already used to leisure. The life of a man carved from gold and jade is not suitable for me." Ji Yunshuqi smiled.

Old Steward lowered his head. Suddenly, a cold wind blew in from outside the door, lifting the mourning hat on Old Steward's head. Immediately, the old face was exposed under the candlelight in his hands.

The dark yellow skin color, the tightly creased skin, and the deep sunken eye sockets all revealed the word 'desolation', especially the scar on the left side of his face that extended from the corner of his eye to the corner of his mouth. He must have been cut by a knife, and because he didn't deal with it carefully, the flesh of the wound turned outwards, forming an extremely malevolent red scab.

A sudden glance was indeed a bit scary!

Ji Yunshu's eyes twitched.

Old Steward immediately lowered his head, pulled his hat back to his head and bowed down: "old slave looks ugly, I'm afraid I scared Mr.."

"Old sir, don't misunderstand, I am definitely not the least bit disrespectful, it is just that …" Seeing the wounds on old mister's face, it seems like it has been many years. " Ji Yunshu asked carefully.

"Yes, it was accidentally cut a few years ago, and the scar has always been on his face." Old Steward's tone was flat and no emotions could be heard.

Ji Yunshu's eyelids drooped a few times, but she did not ask any further. Old Steward coughed and said, "It's getting late, why don't Wu Tie take you back to rest?"

She shook her head. "There's no need. There's light on everywhere on the road. I'll just walk by myself. It's getting late. Old mister and the girls should rest early."

"Alright."

As she walked out of the mourning hall, Ji Yunshu's seemingly calm expression added a few traces of apprehension and regret!

However, no one noticed this thought that arose in his mind.

That night, it began to drizzle, and as it neared the ugly scene, it began to snow.

The Jinjiang was located at the northernmost point of the Bei Liang County. From the winter onwards, there would be a light snowfall the next day.

However, they were caught off guard by the winding bluestone roads, splitting them into countless pieces one by one.
