Chapter 12: The Murderer
Li Yanran was wearing a white coat, and the three thousand green silks as black as ink were scattered around her waist, but the coat had been stained red with blood, and her hair was a little messy, and she had been standing there for three hours at this time.
Ji Wenjun got some water from the mountains, and despite her objections, pulled her to the stone bench on the side and helped her clean the wound on her arm.
As a result of not being treated in time, the blood has already adhered to the clothes, and the wound has begun to suppurate.
Ji Wenjun moved slowly, first tore the cuffs, wiped the wound with water, and then tore off a piece of cloth from the outer robe, and bandaged the wound in one go.
It's just that Li Yanran didn't say a word, and she frowned when she was in such pain.
"How? Did the people find it? ”
Li Yanran's face was pale, and her eyes were full of worry and asked Ji Wenjun about the situation.
Although she and Li Anran do not agree, after all, they are her relatives, and Li Anran has indeed done a lot of excessive things before, but it is not enough to kill her.
If she could, she hoped she was alive.
"Not yet, but after so long, it should be soon." Ji Wenjun lowered her voice and held her hand, her eyes full of tenderness.
Then, Li Yanran leaned on the stone bench, her eyes closed, and she secretly prayed in her heart, hoping that she would live.
After a while, Gu Qing's voice came from a distance: "Found it!" ”
Li Yanran rushed and ran to the lake, but in front of her was an embarrassed, blistered and swollen corpse.
She wanted to move forward, but her feet seemed to be stitched by thousands of poisonous needles, and she couldn't move.
She couldn't believe it, she wanted to save her life, but she didn't expect to lose her life, but she waited for several hours to come with such a result.
It was difficult to accept it for a while, and I just felt that it was dark in front of me, and I fainted.
When she woke up, it was already two days later.
When she opened her eyes, it was a strange scene, Li Yanran moved her body and wanted to sit up from the bed, but there was a sharp pain in her back, and she snorted.
Then she barely supported the bed with one hand, half on her side, her face was pale without the slightest blood, she looked around, the scene in front of her slowly became clear from blur, looking at this figure, her chapped lips moved, and asked, "What is this place?" ”
Seeing that she was awake, Ji Wenjun turned around, bent down and walked over with the medicine bowl, then sat down next to the bed, and said softly: "When you wake up, drink the medicine." ”
He lowered his eyes, and there were two obvious shadows under his slender eyelashes, and he took a spoonful of medicine with a spoon and brought it to her mouth: "You are seriously injured, drink the medicine first." ”
Li Yanran turned her face and refused, then frowned and asked again: "Where is this?" ”
Ji Wenjun put down the medicine bowl and replied: "Inn! ”
"I'm going back......" She lifted the quilt, endured the pain, and got out of bed crookedly.
Ji Wenjun stopped her: "Li Anran is dead, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to go back at this time!" ”
"Why not?" Li Yanran's eyes were full of doubts, and she looked at Ji Wenjun.
Ji Wenjun paced a few steps inside the room and analyzed: "I don't know where the assassins came from that day, but they made a fatal move, and it was obvious that they were coming at you. ”
"It makes sense to say that Li Anran was killed by assassins in a panic, but that day you pushed her into the lake, and she didn't have any wounds on her body, and the direct cause of death was drowning."
"I didn't! I was trying to save her by pushing her into the lake by mistake! Li Yanran explained.
"Oh? If you say that, someone will believe you! When you pushed her into the lake, Li Anran shouted, this scene happened to be bumped into by several other young ladies, whether you made a mistake or not, you indirectly killed her! ”
"No, I'm going back!"
Li Anran is her sister, and now that she fell into the lake and died, the Li family will definitely investigate the news to the end. Either way, she had to go back and explain.
"Since you insist on doing so, then okay, I'll go with you." Seeing that she was stubborn, Ji Wenjun stopped stopping her, but he wanted to ensure her safety.
This inn is far away from Li's house, and because Li Yanran was injured and inconvenient to walk, Ji Wenjun arranged a carriage.
Before getting into the car, Ji Wenjun took off her coat and draped it on her body: "You are injured, be careful of catching a cold." ”
Li Yanran did not refuse, her eyes were full of gratitude when she looked at him, and at this time, she felt that her opinion of him had changed a lot, and Ji Wenjun's concern seemed very natural.
After a bumpy ride, Li Yanran's face became even more bleak.
Unknowingly, he fell asleep on his shoulder.
With a sound of "......", the carriage stopped, and Li Yanran woke up: "Is it here?" ”
Ji Wenjun got up and opened the curtain, only to see that the road ahead was blocked. From then on, there was the Li Mansion across two streets, so I simply decided to get out of the car and walk there.
Ji Wenjun helped Li Yanran and walked on this stone street, and after walking for a while, she began to find that the people around her looked at them with strange eyes, and they all avoided them after pointing and pointing.
I heard an old woman leaning into the ear of the woman next to her and whispering, "Oh, don't you know? This Li Yanran pushed her sister into the lake and drowned! ”
"I blatantly bully people on weekdays, but now I don't even care about family affection, it's really a femme fatale!"
"Yes, this Mrs. Li is so grief-stricken that she doesn't want to live anymore, she still has the face to come back!"
"It seems that the Li Mansion is going to be at peace now."
Everyone on the street said everything you said to me, Li Yanran heard it clearly, she bit her lip, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and her face was very bad.
"I didn't? Didn't I mean to push her? She thought to herself, but she didn't make any excuses.
She didn't understand why she was framed like this just because of the words of those people, who didn't allow her to give any explanation.
Then she quickened her pace and walked in the direction of the Li Mansion, thinking that her father and mother should listen to her explanation.
After bypassing two streets, there is the Li Mansion in front.
It's just that the door is closed, and white cloths are hung on both sides of the door, quiet and quiet, and it is bleak compared to the day she went to the Flower Dynasty Festival.
When I walked to the door, I didn't even reach out to push the door, but the door was opened from the inside with a "creak".
Xiao Si in the house saw that it was the second miss, his face was full of panic, and he ran back to report: "Master, the second miss is back!" ”
As soon as Li Yanran stepped into the house, she saw a wooden coffin in the center of the courtyard, and it was conceivable that it was her sister Li Anran lying inside.
After a while, Mrs. Li came out of the house with a few maids, crying.
Ping'er also followed, the day before yesterday, the woman visited the garden, and the man continued to stay where he was and talk about music, and the maids who followed stayed there to wait.
Later, when she saw several other ladies coming back in a panic, she didn't see Li Yanran, so Ping'er was anxious to find it, and met Gu Qing carrying Li Anran's body on the way, she panicked, thinking that Li Yanran also had an accident.
Fortunately, I learned from Gu Qing that I stayed with Ji Gongzi, so I followed back to the Li Mansion with confidence.
Ping'er saw that the young lady was injured, so she hurried over to help her.
Mrs. Li threw herself in front of Li Yanran, her face was pale, her eyes were red and swollen, and she cried: "You still have the face to come back? You say, "Why do you want to be harmed?" She's your sister! ”
Because I have been crying for a long time, my chest has been soaked with tears.
"I raised you for so many years and paid so much hard work, but in the end, you killed my daughter."
"I didn't mean to, there was an assassin on that day, and I saw the assassin stabbing her with a sword, and instinctively wanted to save her, so I pushed her......"
"But who knows, she didn't stand firm and fell into the lake......," Li Yanran tried to explain.
Mrs. Li's bitterness was not finished, and her anger rose spontaneously, grabbed Li Yanran, sneered twice and asked, "So, it's better to blame her for falling into the lake!" ”
"If you were stabbed by an assassin, you might still be alive, but now ...... There was only one corpse left......"
Mrs. Li went crazy and continued: "It's you, it's you, it's you, it's you who killed her...... My child......"
Li Yanran knelt on the ground and let Mrs. Li tear it, she knew that no matter how much she explained at this time, it would be superfluous.
"Daddy......"
Li Yanran looked at the man standing at the door, hoping that he could help him say something, but he didn't say a word.
Mrs. Li cried heartbreakingly, and continued: "You, the executioner, knew that this was the case, you shouldn't have picked you up in the first place, and you returned my daughter." ”
What the? Li Yanran was stunned, thinking that she had misheard.
"You say...... Did I pick it up? ”
Li Yanran couldn't believe it and asked again: "Mother, you said, I picked it up?" ”
"Don't call me mother, I'm not your mother, I've raised you for so many years in vain, if I knew it, I should have let you starve to death!"
"Shut up!" Master Li's expressionless face became serious at this time.
instructed his subordinates: "Madame is too tired and delirious, help her back to rest!" ”
Mrs. Li broke free and shouted: "I am not delirious, you are not my daughter, I only have An Ran's daughter." ”
Now Li Yanran finally understood why her father and mother have rarely been close to her since she can remember, why she never really cared about her, why every time she had a dispute with Li Anran, it was her fault in the end, and now she finally knows.
It turned out that she picked it up.
She got up slowly, looked at Master Li, and still shouted: "Daddy......", and asked, "Is this really the case?" ”
Master Li lowered his head, sighed, and just wanted to say something, he was pierced through the heart by an arrow and died on the spot.
The man in black moved very quickly, and even Ji Wenjun reacted and was about to chase after him, but he was already gone.
"Daddy......" Li Yanran ran over in a few steps and fell to the ground.
Before Master Li's eyes were closed, his breathing had stopped.
"You ......"
"You're such a bad star!"
Mrs. Li pushed her away, crying breathlessly, and then vomited out a mouthful of blood, frightening the people around her.
Then she stretched out her hand tremblingly, pointed at Li Yanran viciously and said, "You evil star, get out of ...... Get out! ”
"Miss, let's go, don't irritate Madame anymore." Ping'er was also frightened, and while persuading, she was helped up.
She's not Miss Li Fuer! So who is that? And those assassins, why did they want her life? Or perhaps, it was because Master Li knew something that he would be killed? A series of questions made Li Yanran's head feel a sharp pain.
