Old Steward walked over with his head lowered without even raising his eyes.

"May I know what business you have with old slave?" Her voice was desolate.

Ji Yunshu smiled, took the brocade box she brought with her, and passed it to Old Steward.

"Old mister, this is a medicinal herb I brought from home. Mash it up, add some white wine and brown sugar, and paste it where the knife was cut. It will help heal the wound on your face a little."

Old Steward probably didn't expect Ji Yunshu to be here to deliver the medicine to him. His body trembled as he lifted his eyelids, meeting Ji Yunshu's gentle and delicate gaze.

He quickly declined: "old slave doesn't have any relationship with mister. old slave can't accept such expensive medicinal herbs."

When used on someone who needs it, it is a life-saving medicine. If used on someone who does not need it, it is a common medicinal herb. This medicine is useless to me, but it is useful to you, Sir, since I have sent it over, how can I take it back?

"This …"

Without any explanation, Ji Yunshu directly stuffed the brocade box into Old Steward's arms.

"You don't have to be so polite."

If this medicine was stored properly, the price in the market would be over ten million years later!

However, no matter how much Ji Yunshu loved money, she wouldn't be obsessed with money.

If she could not return to the modern world, she would only be a pile of white bones.

Old Steward finally accepted the medicine and said, "Then old slave, thank you very much, Mister."

With that, she even bowed and prepared to bow. According to seniority, Ji Yunshu couldn't afford it.

He grabbed Old Steward's elbow and lifted it up.

"Old mister, you mustn't do anything. You are an elder, you must not bow to me. You will lose my lifespan."

"Mister is really a good person, but old slave has no way to thank you."

"Then, I would like to request that old mister make good use of this medicinal herb to treat the injuries on my face."

"Thank you, sir."

Ji Yunshu smiled, but suddenly felt that the fingers she held on Old Steward's elbow were stained with something?

He glanced at Old Steward's sleeves and saw a faint black mark, as if it was the mark of a flame.

It was attached to Ji Yunshu's thumb.

She looked away and let go of Old Steward's elbow.

He lightly said: "Old mister, earlier, I pulled down a Sandalwood Box and it contained a few small knives. Are they still in the mansion?"

"I'm here, old slave will bring it over for you."

She nodded.

Old Steward took the brocade box and went out to get her a Sandalwood Box.

In that instant, Ji Yunshu's face froze. She raised her hand and looked at her thumb only to see that what was stuck on it was actually a thin piece of wax.

She put the wax to her nose and sniffed it. It had a very unique smell, one that smelled like the Returning Spring and the Lotus.

How could wax be like this?

Then, he recalled the lump of black on Old Steward's clothes just now. With the wax, he guessed that it must have been caused by the flame of the candle.

And how could she have smelled the scent of wax?

His heart was filled with doubt, but he seemed to have understood something.

At this time, Old Steward came in with the Sandalwood Box. He handed it over with both hands: "Sir, I've cleaned this box up for you."

Ji Yunshu put aside her previous thoughts and took the box from him.

At the same time, he looked at the scar on Old Steward's face.

"Then, I'll leave first."

"old slave, this is for you."

"No need, I'll see you slide along the road. Please wait a moment, old mister."

After leaving the Zhou Mansion, Ji Yunshu didn't return to the Ji Family, but instead went to the celestial prison that imprisoned the criminals.

According to the procedure, she should first ask the county magistrate for permission before getting a special order to enter.

However, the county magistrate regarded Ji Yunshu as a treasure. Once he gave the order, it would be as if he saw the county magistrate once he saw her.

When she had just arrived at the celestial prison entrance, the gatekeeper obediently opened the door. With a bent back, he greeted her with a flattering face.

After all, this was the little red man in front of the county magistrate, so he had to serve him well.

"Why is Mr. Ji free to come here?" "Oh, be careful. It's dark here. Be careful of your feet."

He almost said, "I need to support you."

If he didn't go to the palace to be an eunuch, it would be such a waste of talent!

Ji Yunshu looked at him. "Where are the two prisoners that were sent here yesterday? "Zhou Mansion."

"He's inside."

"Take me to see that woman."

"Okay, I'll take you there."

The bailiff led the way while Ji Yunshu followed behind. The cell was indeed very dark and very damp. No wonder the prisoners who had been imprisoned for a long time were screaming about their legs being in pain.

Now, it's called rheumatism.

Reaching the innermost cell on the left, the runner said, "Sir, it's here."

With the help of the oil lamp outside, Ji Yunshu was able to see the person inside clearly.

Su Yun was curled up in a corner with her arms crossed and her entire body trembling.

Naturally, there was a cold wind in the dark cell. It was possible that he would freeze to death if he didn't wear a tight set of clothes.

"Open the door." Ji Yunshu said.

"This... The prisoners are inside. " The runner specifically said.

"Of course I know it's a prisoner. Do you need to remind me?"

The runner was embarrassed. He took out his key and unlocked the chain.

Ji Yunshu took off the oil lamp that was hung on the wall outside and stuffed the Sandalwood Box she was carrying into the hands of the runner.

"Hold on tight, wait for me outside."

"Mm, good job."

She walked in and knelt beside Su Yun. As the oil lamp approached, Ji Yunshu could clearly see Su Yun's face, which was as white as a sheet of paper.

Compared to yesterday, his face could no longer be described as pale!

"Su Yun." She called to her.

Su Yun's body trembled violently. It was only after a long time that she managed to react and raise her head. Her sunken eyes were filled with the indifference of someone on the verge of death. There was no fear in them at all.

"Su Yun, do you want to help yourself, help Lin Duan?"

Ji Yunshu's voice echoed in the narrow cage, carrying with it a tantalizing taste.

Su Yun opened her mouth. Due to her body's weakening, she found it difficult to speak. "What did you say?"

"Let me ask you, do you want to save yourself? Save Lin Duan?"

Ji Yunshu asked again, but what she got in return was a flat laugh from Su Yun, "I have to pay with my life for killing someone, how do I save them? "I can't save, I can't save …"

"I can save him."

"What do you mean?"

Ji Yunshu brought the oil lamp closer to Su Yun.

He hoped that this thin light would warm her cold body.

"Su Yun, listen carefully. Every question I ask you is of utmost importance. You must think it through clearly before you answer me." Ji Yunshu was very serious.

After a short moment, Su Yun nodded.

She asked, "Let me ask you, what exactly did you see when you entered your young lady's room that night? Is the light in the room out? "
