CHAPTER XLVI
After Su Jinshi came out of the study, he was in a very bad state, Lian'er followed behind Su Jinshi, looking at the young lady's trance-like appearance, and wanted to speak several times, but she didn't dare to speak.
After returning to the room, Su Jinshi sat on the chair, thinking about what he had just seen, and only felt a twitch in his stomach.
What she saw was a row of fingers, which in shape appeared to be the little fingers of the right foot, and those little fingers were probably embalmed, and none of them were rotten and deformed, and even had a strange luster.
Now she can be sure that Gu Shengyun is the murderer.
It's just that Gu Shengyun almost put these so-called evidence in front of her eyes, what kind of premeditation did he have?
Su Jinshi finally knew that she was panicking at this time, she felt that she was really too stupid, jumping into the trap set by others, from the beginning, she thought that she had the upper hand, and now she knows that she has always been at a disadvantage, Gu Shengyun may understand everything.
Su Jinshi didn't know how long she had been sitting, but when she came back to her senses, it was almost dark outside, and Lian'er was still by her side.
Su Jinshi's spirits were a little sluggish, "It's already dark, Lian'er, have you stood here for an afternoon?" β
Lian'er nodded, she moved slightly to relieve the stiffness of her legs, Su Jinshi sighed, but didn't say anything.
It stands to reason that it was time for dinner, but no one came to call her, so Su Jinshi touched her shriveled stomach, got up and walked out.
She walked outside the dining room and saw Mrs. Gu and Gu Shengyun eating, the atmosphere was happy, and Bi'er was waiting next to her, with a happy smile on her face.
Su Jinshi didn't go in to bother, turned around and went back to the room, she thought about it, and instructed Lian'er: "You go to the kitchen and get me some food later." β
Lian'er nodded, sent Su Jinshi back to the room and hurried to the kitchen.
Su Jinshi sat on the steps of the door, looking at the moon in the sky in a daze.
Today is about fifteen, the moon in the sky is big and round, shining with a cold brilliance, the stars have lost their luster, the moonlight is still there, but people are no longer around.
Su Jinshi thought that a few days ago she was sitting on the steps with Nian Su, watching the moon and chatting, but there was no one around her at this time.
She has always felt that Gu Shengyun is conceited, so why shouldn't she? If she wasn't too confident in herself, how could she jump into it knowing that it was a tiger's den?
She hasn't checked those flowers yet, and there are some unsavory things in them, she found Gu Shengyun's secret, how will he deal with her?
After a while, Lian'er came back, but empty-handed, Su Jinshi also guessed what happened, only sighed, got up and went back to the room, Lian'er saw Su Jinshi like this, and asked cautiously:
"Young lady, the slave maid just went to the kitchen, and the mother-in-law in the kitchen said that there was no food left."
Su Jinshi nodded, "Got it, you can help me untie my bun, I'm a little sleepy." β
Lian'er immediately walked behind Su Jinshi and lightly untied her bun, this time she was not nervous, but she was very fast.
Su Jinshi saw that Lian'er wanted to speak and stopped, so he didn't say anything, took off his coat and lay down on the bed.
Lian'er saw that Su Jinshi was already asleep, so she went out of the room.
Su Jinshi was lying on the bed tossing and turning, she felt that she must find a chance to go out, meet Nian Su or Su Huaijin, and tell them about the matter in the Gu Mansion.
She thought for a while, Gu Shengyun came in, and when he saw that Su Jinshi was already lying on the bed, he raised his eyebrows, "Why did you sleep so early today?" β
Su Jinshi heard Gu Shengyun's voice, and shivered inexplicably, she turned her back to Gu Shengyun and didn't speak.
"I heard you've been in the study for a long time today?" Gu Shengyun walked slowly to Su Jinshi's bed and sat down.
Su Jinshi's body stiffened, a chill came out of her heart, she smiled self-deprecatingly, she was really too naΓ―ve.
Gu Shengyun didn't speak when he saw Su Jinshi, he leaned over and leaned into Su Jinshi's ear and said, "Did you find something?" β
His tone was cold, and he spoke in her ear, the more cold he felt in his heart, Su Jinshi gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and pretended that he was asleep.
Gu Shengyun let out a weird laugh, as if he was laughing and sighing, "What? Now you notice that I'm not normal? Do you regret marrying me? β
He paused and asked softly, "Do you know why I want to marry you?" β
"You read that book the day before yesterday, did you dream? Did you dream that you had killed someone? Don't you think it's nice to kill someone? When you see those people trembling under your hands, do you feel refreshed? β
Su Jinshi curled up in the quilt, his curse-like voice in her ears, she couldn't break free, her stomach was empty, but there was a feeling of nausea, which made her whole person very uncomfortable.
"Su Jinshi, do you know why I want to marry you? Because I want to raise you to be like me, you know? Sometimes it's really lonely to be alone. Gu Shengyun's voice was low, but with a terrifying coldness, which made Su Jinshi's whole body cold in the hot summer.
"Su Jinshi, don't think about running away, I gave you a choice when I gave the dowry, since you chose to marry, be responsible for your choice."
After speaking, Gu Shengyun turned around and left, Su Jinshi was lying in the quilt with cold hands and feet, and what Gu Shengyun said was still echoing in her ears.
At this moment, she didn't even know what she should do.
**
Nian Su has always had an ominous premonition recently, she has pricked her fingers several times while doing needlework, and she is also absent-minded in cooking, and Xiaodouzi has complained more than once that the food is not delicious.
She thought that the last time she saw Su Jin was when she returned to the door, three days had passed in the blink of an eye, and she had not heard from Su Jinshi in the past few days, and she had tried to find Su Huaijin, but she couldn't even see him.
After she stabbed her finger three more times in an hour, Nian Su finally couldn't help but go next door to find Su Huaijin.
It was Sun who opened the door, and when she saw that it was Nian Su again, she habitually wanted to block her, but Nian Su said anxiously: "Is Su Gongzi here?" I really need to see him urgently! β
Sun's face sank, and he whispered: "He is reading in the house, preparing to take the test for fame, you don't have to bother him again!" β
Nian Su didn't understand why the Sun family targeted her like this, a few days ago, she came to Su Huaijin every day, but the Sun family always opened the door, and she couldn't see him.
"Young Master Su! Su Gongzi! Are you there? Nian Su didn't care about Sun's obstruction, and shouted loudly inside.
Su Huaijin was reading a book in the room, and when he heard someone calling him, he went out, and when he saw Sun and Nian Su in a stalemate, he frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" β
"Master Su, great, I've finally met you, I have something urgent to discuss with you!" Nian Su saw Su Huaijin come out, and said anxiously.
Su Huaijin saw that Sun lowered his head and understood what was happening, he sighed and said, "Come in." β
The Sun family couldn't obstruct it anymore, so he had to step aside, Nian Su was anxious but knew that he couldn't be known by the Sun family, so he had to say: "Master Su, can you talk in a different place?" β
Su Huaijin nodded, and brought Nian Su into Su Jinshi's room, as soon as he entered the room, Nian Su said: "Su Gongzi, I always have an ominous feeling recently, I'm afraid that Jinshi has been wronged over there, can you take me to find her?" β
Su Huaijin was a little surprised by Nian Su's feelings for Su Jinshi, he also wanted to go to Gu Mansion to see Su Jinshi, so he agreed, and Nian Su's face was better.
"Master Su, if Jin Shi finds evidence to prove that Gu Shengyun is the murderer of several cases, will the government arrest him in prison?" Nian Su asked with some concern, if the government does not accept it, then Gu Shengyun will be at large, and Su Jinshi's life will be ruined.
Su Huaijin also frowned, and only said: "I can't conclude this matter, according to the current situation, Zhao Wenshui can't be counted on, we can only go to the nearest city to take a look." β
Nian Su's heart tightened again all of a sudden, she became more and more worried about Su Jinshi, Su Huaijin saw Nian Su like this, so she said, "I'll take you over now." β
On the way to Gu Mansion, Nian Su's heart had always been a little apprehensive, she was very afraid that Su Jinshi would disappear into Gu Mansion like this.
Su Huaijin is Su Jinshi's elder brother, and he often comes to this Gu Mansion, the guard at the gate knows him when he sees him, Su Huaijin explains his intention, and the guard takes him in.
"The young master is not at home today, but the young lady is, the young master is often not at home recently, and the young lady rarely goes out, and no one has come to the house for a long time." The guard said as he led the two men.
He wanted to say something, but Su Huaijin and Nian Su didn't speak, so they felt a little stupid, so they didn't say anything more.
The three of them soon arrived at Su Jinshi's residence, and it happened that Lian'er came out of the room, and the guard said something to Lian'er and left.
Lian'er looked at the two people who came, one was the young lady's brother, and the other was the young lady's old friend, "The two of you, please, the young lady will be happy when she sees the two coming." β
The two followed Lian'er into the room, but saw Su Jinshi sitting on the chair in a daze with a dejected face, Lian'er went over and whispered to Su Jinshi: "Young lady, Su Gongzi and Miss Nian have come to see you." β
When Su Jinshi heard this, he came back to his senses and looked at the door, only to see Su Jinshi and Nian Su looking at him worriedly.
Seeing the familiar face, Su Jinshi felt relieved, she asked Lian'er to go down first, she got up and closed the door, and when she turned around, the sadness and depression on her face deepened a little.
"Jinshi, what happened? Why are you so listless? Nian Su walked over and grabbed Su Jinshi's hand, but found that her hand was very cold, and she was even more worried in her heart, "Why are your hands so cold?" Did something happen? β
Su Jinshi saw Nian Su's worried appearance, and a warm current flowed through her heart, but she didn't answer Nian Su's words, but said to Su Huaijin: "Brother, do you think I don't know the height of the sky?" β
Su Huaijin frowned, not understanding why Su Jinshi suddenly did this, "What happened?" β
Su Jinshi shook his head and said in a low voice: "Brother, Nian Su, I have been thinking about a lot of things in the past few days, and I know that I have a lot of shortcomings. β
Nian Su and Su Huaijin glanced at each other, and they didn't know why Su Jinshi was suddenly like this.
"I've found evidence, but I'm afraid the government doesn't care about it." Su Jinshi changed his words and looked at the two calmly.
