Chapter 740: Clearing the Clouds
A few days later, Ji Yu entered Yidetang openly in the name of seeing a doctor.
Zhen Jili quietly looked at the notice slapped in front of him.
"You have been following Nie Shirong to be courteous, Nie Shirong is dead, you are gone, you must be the first to suspect you. The portrait was provided by his personal servant. β
Ji Yu walked to the opposite table and sat down, and smiled: "If I don't go with me that day, are you going to be caught with your hands tied?" β
If you don't have the idea of death, you will set up a game before the action, at least you have to create an alibi.
The reason why Zhen Jili was locked as a suspect so quickly was because he was the only one who accompanied Nie Shirong to Jinfeng Yulu Tower that night.
The personal servant couldn't go temporarily because he had a bad stomach, so Nie Shirong ordered him, but it happened that Nie Shirong had an accident that night, and it was really difficult not to make people suspect him.
Although there is now a missing turtle slave to share the attention, it can't reduce the suspicion of Zhen Jili.
Jingzhong has already laid a net, just waiting for him to show up.
Zhen Jili put down the notice and said sorry.
Ji Yu held the teacup and snorted lightly: "So as an 'accomplice' who was implicated by you, can I have the right to know?" β
Zhen Jili was silent for a long time, raised his head, and suddenly said without a head or an end: "You are very similar to my sister." β
The tea that Ji Yu just drank almost didn't squirt out.
Say this at this time...... Her first reaction was that the Marquis of Han Chang was showing mercy again.
Mo Fei Zhen Jili is also the Marquis of Han Chang...... It shouldn't be, the age is not right.
ββ¦β¦ Do you have a sister? Your own sister? β
Zhen Jili nodded.
Ji Yu was suspicious.
She has no resemblance to Zhen Jili, and it is really unlikely that Zhen Jili's own sister looks like her.
"It's not like you now, it's like you used to be. At that moment, when you came to me to sell your son......" Zhen Jili gestured, "thin and small, with hair like withered grass, hungry skin and bones, and with a curtain of hair, which at first glance looked a little uglyβat that time, she looked very much like my sister." β
Ji Yu: "......"
It seems that no matter whether the girl is close or not, this person should owe or owe.
"So that's why you bought my recipe so quickly?"
Zhen Jili nodded first, then shook his head.
"It's mainly because I fell in love with Fangzi, but there is indeed a reason why I really made up my mind."
"Then your sister ......"
Ji Yu was about to ask where her sister was, but suddenly remembered that Zhen Jili had told her that the house was gone, and he was the only one left in the Zhen family.
When I have a guess in my heart, it's hard to speak.
"You guessed that right, my sister died."
Ji Yu was secretly annoyed that she shouldn't mention this stubble, so Zhen Jili took the initiative to take the conversation. After a brief silence, he asked her if she wanted to know why.
A little girl who is upright is gone, either a natural disaster or **.
And Guan Zhen Jili's reaction, and the timing of his talk about it, is more likely.
Thinking of his previous abnormality and Nie Shirong's death......
"Something to do with Nie Shirong?"
Zhen Jili pulled the corners of his mouth: "It's just smart." β
It seems to be laughing, but there is no smile, it sounds like a joke, but it makes the listener feel heavy.
And that's just the beginning.
With Zhen Jili's slow narration, Ji Yu's mood sank again and again.
"Our ancestors were all military doctors, my grandfather was, and so was my father, but he died early, and my mother brought up a pair of children and endured all the hardships that a woman's family could endure......
Later, I relied on the relationship of an uncle to successfully enter the barracks, but I was only a deputy, doing chores for the military doctor, and I had little salary every month, and I had to be exploited by the people in the camp......
Because of the hard work in the early years, my mother's body collapsed early, and in those years, I relied on my sister to make clothes and shoes to support the family, and I had to stuff two spare money from between my teeth. That stupid girl, I'm afraid that I won't have money to eat and won't be able to make friends......
I kept telling her, when my brother is promising, my brother will buy you new clothes and flowers to wear, and when you get married, my brother will give you an eighteen dowry, so that you can sit in a sedan chair and enjoy the scenery......"
Zhen Jili suddenly lowered his head, buried his face in his palm, and his shoulders trembled slightly.
Ji Yu understood his feelings.
The son wants to raise but does not wait, although this is a sister, but it is the same regret all year round.
Ji Yu didn't say anything, leaving him enough time to calm down.
"Our house is very close to the barracks, and she often goes to bring me shoes and socks, and every time she is with the convoy of forage in the village, and when she arrives at the place, someone will hand me a message, and I will go to the slope where we first met to meet her......
She's been there so many times, not once, not once! But that time, the two of us were delayed talking, she didn't keep up with the convoy, and on the way home from the barracks alone, she ran into Nie Shirong who was returning to the camp from hunting......"
Zhen Jili raised his head, his eyes scarlet.
"Nie Shirong, that brute, he asked people to stop my sister and dragged her to the grass, in front of so many people, he, he ......"
Ji Yu's heart has sunk to the bottom.
She wanted Zhen Jili to stop, and she didn't have to embarrass herself, needless to say.
Zhen Jili couldn't listen at all, his fists creaked as if he were competing with himself, and he forced the words that were so piercing to him out of his throat and blood.
"He's ruined Jiqiao! My sister, Sadachi Qiao...... It's not enough that he's ruined, and he's made those soldiers under his command ......"
"Say no more!"
Ji Yu interrupted him, and he couldn't bear to listen any further.
Zhen Jili laughed out loud, which was more ugly than crying.
"When I found Jiqiao, she ...... I almost didn't recognize her, you know? She was breathing in my arms...... I took off the new clothes she had just made for me, wrapped her, and I carried her home......"
Speaking of this, Zhen Jili's tears that he had endured for a long time finally rolled down, and his hands kept beating his head.
"I shouldn't have taken her home, I shouldn't have taken Jiqiao home...... Then my mother wouldn't have hanged herself, I hurt them......"
Ji Yu got up and walked around, desperately holding his hand to prevent him from continuing to hurt himself
A family visit, the loss of two loved ones, what a fatal blow it was.
It turns out that Zhen Jili has a younger sister.
No wonder at the gate of the barracks, Guan Shan, who was still Kou Changqing, asked him why there were women here, and he opened his mouth to come, saying so skillfully.
No wonder when he got Guan Shan's attention with his advice, he excitedly held her shoulders and shouted incoherently: "I'm going to succeed!" Sister, I'm going to make it! Do you hear me, sister, I can finally ......"
A big man, shouted to the end and even shed tears.
At the time, she thought that she was too excited to enter the play, but now that she thinks about it, it is clearly tears of joy and sorrow.
Sadness is greater than joy.
No wonder when she asked Zhen Jili why he was so good to her, he said half-truthfully: "You are my sister, I am not good to you and good to anyone." β
At this point, the fog in my heart has finally been cleared.
She had been puzzled and uneasy because Zhen Jili was "good for no reason", and she always felt that he had other plans.
It turns out that there is no good thing in the world for no reason.
It's just that this reason is too heavy, so heavy that she would rather believe that Zhen Jili has other plans than believe it......
Ji Yu gritted her teeth and asked, "Nie Shirong dares to be so ...... near the barracks Isn't there anyone in charge?! β
