Shen Feng Ming's expression didn't change. He glanced at Jiang Yun Zhu and said to Yang Sheng calmly, "You’re back. How did it go?"
"Of course no problem." Yang Sheng answered subconsciously. Then he regained his senses and stared at Shen Feng Ming in surprise. Was this the time to talk about this? Who was this woman in the yard? He actually allowed her to live in his place. This was not something that could be explained as ordinary relationships, right?
Could it be? Yang Sheng suddenly thought of something. He and Shen Feng Ming interacted day and night, so naturally knew a lot of things that other people don't know. For example, he knew that Shen Feng Ming had a white jade hairpin. It was a curved hairpin. From one glance, it was obviously a style for women. Sometimes, he would stare at the white jade hairpin.
He was very curious about the hairpin, but didn't dare to ask Shen Feng Ming, because every time Shen Feng Ming held the hairpin, his expression was extraordinarily heavy.
Thinking about it, this probably started three years ago. Three years was a short and long time.
Suddenly, Yang Sheng jollily said, "I don't have much. You go ahead and work away. I'm a little tired and will go take a rest."
After that, he walked away, leaving behind a dashing back.
Shen Feng Ming eyed his back and his eyes seemed to express some relief.
"Official Shen." Jiang Yun Zhu walked out of the courtyard and looked at Shen Feng Ming nervously. Who was that person just now... And, was this okay?
"His name is Yang Sheng. He is the deputy." Shen Feng Ming explained.
He was Yang Sheng! Of course Jiang Yun Zhu had heard of him, the deputy of the Qilin Guard. Different from Shen Feng Ming's coldness, he often carried a smile on his face. But if one thought he was easy to get along with, they were wrong. He was like a smiling tiger. No matter how warmly he smiled at you on the surface, he would kill you without hesitation when he killed you.
Moreover, it was rumored that he and Shen Feng Ming...
Thinking of this, Jiang Yun Zhu had a sudden thought in her heart. She didn't discriminate against same-sex relationships, but if she got involved in it, then... Reaching here, she breathed a sigh of relief and said to Shen Feng Ming, "How about..."
She wanted to say, let her go back to the cell as she was ill at ease here.
"Let's eat." Shen Feng Ming interrupted her.
Jiang Yun Zhu fell silent.
The meal was tasteless. After the meal, Shen Feng Ming left, while Jiang Yun Zhu sat there in a daze.
Standing at the side and watching, Yin Cui’s heart was full of worries. Slowly, she made a decision.
On the other side, Shen Feng Ming had just passed through a corridor when he saw a man leaning against the pillars of the corridor looking this way. His eyes were full of teasing.
It was Yang Sheng.
Shen Feng Ming ignored him and continued walking forward.
"Hey, don't you want to say something?" Yang Sheng grasped his arm.
"Say what?" Shen Feng Ming flung his hand away in disgust.
"Tell me about that woman! What? Are you attracted to her? You fancy her?" Yang Sheng cheerfully asked.
He was quite direct. Still, this matter was indeed obvious. If Shen Feng Ming had no feelings for her, Yang Sheng didn't think he would let her stay in his place. One must know he hadn't stayed in his room.
Huh? It seemed weird to use himself as a comparison. Yang Sheng quickly ignored this strange feeling. Now there was something more interesting. Shen Feng Ming actually had a woman he liked. Was this the iron tree finally blooming?
Of course, he had just figured out everything about Jiang Yun Zhu, the criminal official's wife. But what did it matter? As long as Shen Feng Ming liked her, who cared who she was!
Seeing Yang Sheng's nosiness, Shen Feng Ming didn't want to pay attention to him at all and continued walking forward.
Though Shen Feng Ming didn't answer, it seemed that he had already answered. He didn't deny it, which explained a lot of problems.
At this time, Yang Sheng suddenly changed his mind, "Related to that white jade hairpin?"
He didn't think that Shen Feng Ming would suddenly treat a woman this good.
Shen Feng Ming halted, the white jade hairpin...
There was.
He guessed it right again, but Yang Sheng didn't look happy this time. He was even a little annoyed. Actually connected with that white jade hairpin. That meant Shen Feng Ming had liked Jiang Yun Zhu for a long time, but why did she marry someone else later?
If you like, of course you have to hold it tight in your grasp. With Shen Feng Ming's means and power, this was very easy, but he didn't.
The more Yang Sheng thought about it, the angrier he became. He didn't understand what Shen Feng Ming was doing.
"It's so late, where are you going? Why don't you go back to your room to rest?" Suppressing his anger, Yang Sheng asked .
Go back to the room? Be with Jiang Yun Zhu? Shen Feng Ming heard the implication of his words and turned his face to give him a stern look.
Yang Sheng didn't care about his annoyance at all and stated seriously, "Why? Do you want to miss her for another three years? Or, a lifetime."
For a lifetime, Shen Feng Ming's pupils shrank slightly and his hands clenched together unconsciously.
Yang Sheng was worried for him when he saw this reaction. What? He still didn't have the mindset to chase the person at all costs? This way he was... Oh! The carefully cooked duck will fly away and then he will have nowhere to regret it.
That night, Jiang Yun Zhu didn't sleep well. So she felt a little sleepy when she woke up the next morning. She wanted to talk to Yin Cui, but when the table was set, Yin Cui disappeared without knowing where she was.
Maybe she wasn't feeling well and had gone to rest? Jiang Yun Zhu thought like this and didn't look for Yin Cui anymore. After eating, she sat at the side and read a book. A while passed and she didn't even turn a few pages of the book.
About an hour later, Yin Cui suddenly ran in in a panic, "Bad news, Master."
"What's wrong?" Jiang Yun Zhu stood up and felt her whole body trembling. It still came...
"The Court of Judicial Review has come, saying that they want to try your case." Since that kind of thing happened yesterday, Yin Cui tentatively went out to gather information early this morning.
She thought it would be difficult. After all, she was the prisoner's maid. What’s more, this was the feared Division. Who knew, no bothered with her. So she walked all the way outside and saw the scene of the officials from Court of Judicial Review coming to interrogate Jiang Yun Zhu.
Lin Ting An's case was currently being tried in Court of Judicial Review, so it was normal for them to interrogate Jiang Yun Zhu.
Jiang Yun Zhu became anxious when she heard this. She could hardly hold the book in her hands with both hands. If she went to the Court of Judicial Review, who knows what would happen.
"Master, why don't you beg Official Shen?" Yin Cui said.
Lin Ting An committed a major crime that was worthy of killing the whole clan. According to law, Jiang Yun Zhu must die. The only difference was being tortured and beheaded.
"Beg him?" Jiang Yun Zhu asked nonchalantly. Begging him could be of use? If he wanted to get involved, maybe it would be useful. But why would he help her?
It was a major crime. Even for him, it would be difficult!
"Yes." Yin Cui nodded, this was the only way she could think of.
Jiang Yun Zhu's eyes were blank. How could she open this mouth?
“Master, now isn’t the time to worry about face. Whether it can work or not, you have to try. How about, how about…” Reaching here, tears rolled down Yin Cui’s eyes. Otherwise, would she have to wait for death? She didn't want to watch Jiang Yun Zhu die. If Shen Feng Ming wasn't so indifferent to her, she would have pleaded with Shen Feng Ming on Jiang Yun Zhu’s behalf.
As long as he was willing to save Jiang Yun Zhu, she was willing to do anything to repay him.
But she couldn't, she knew it would be useless if she went. Only Jiang Yun Zhu could do this by herself.
"Master, I have always kept these words in my heart. I feel that Official Shen treats you…” Yin Cui said to Jiang Yun Zhu with twinkling eyes.
"Treat me what?" Jiang Yun Zhu asked.
"Master." Yin Cui held Jiang Yun Zhu's hand with a sincere gaze.
Truthfully, Jiang Yun Zhu knew what she meant. She had suspicion before, but she couldn't believe it and couldn't confirm it. Shen Feng Ming wanting to get some news about Lin Tingan from her was more convincing.
What to do? What to do? Jiang Yun Zhu was in a mess.
"Master, you have to hurry up." Yin Cui urged. Maybe the people from the Court of Judicial Review would come soon.
Suddenly there were footsteps outside. There was even the sound of shackles clashing. Jiang Yun Zhu was startled, thinking that someone from the Court of Judicial Review had come in to capture her.
Yin Cui was so frightened that she grabbed Jiang Yun Zhu's hand.
But the sound became more and more distant, as if people outside were just passing by.
"Master, don't worry, this is the Division. Even if people from the Court of Judicial Review come, they couldn't do anything if Official Shen didn't agree to let her go." Yin Cui seemed to be comforting Jiang Yun Zhu as well as comforting herself.
Of course Jiang Yun Zhu knew, but she was not sure what Shen Feng Ming meant!
What’s more, the Court of Judicial Review was doing things according to the law. The Division could stop it once and twice, but what about the third time?
This matter will eventually need to be resolved.
Thinking this, Jiang Yun Zhu slowly calmed down. She used to only think about delaying it as long as she could but now, she had to make a decision.
"Yin Cui, go take a look and see if you can invite Official Shen to come over." Jiang Yun Zhu said.
"Okay." Yin Cui agreed and went out immediately.
In the room, Jiang Yun Zhu stood there, contemplating something. It was unknown how long had passed, and there were footsteps outside. The tall man with phoenix eyes was none other than Shen Feng Ming. However, today he didn't wear the unique black brocade clothes of the Qilin Guards, but instead wore a white brocade embroidered with dark patterns.
The clothes made him less cold and more handsome.
Jiang Yun Zhu froze.
At this time, Shen Feng Ming had already entered the room, "You’re looking for me?"
His voice was cold, like cold water hitting ice.
Jiang Yun Zhu came back to her senses and looked at Yin Cui.
Winking, Yin Cui went out, closed the door, and stood guard outside to prevent anyone from entering and disturbing her.
Jiang Yun Zhu and Shen Feng Ming were the only two people left in the room.
Jiang Yun Zhu raised her head and looked at Shen Feng Ming. His eyes were dark and she couldn't discern anything at all.
"I heard that people from the Court of Judicial Review are coming to interrogate me." She tried her best to keep her voice steady.
Shen Feng Ming frowned. Why didn't he know about this?
"You don't have to worry," he said.
The corner of Jiang Yun Zhu’s mouth twitched. How could she not be worried?
"I'll take care of it." After saying that, Shen Feng Ming turned to leave.
At this time, a hand grabbed his sleeve. The hand was crystal clear and smooth. Though it didn't use much force, it successfully stopped Shen Feng Ming in place.
He turned to look at Jiang Yun Zhu.
"I have something to say." Jiang Yun Zhu said.
Shen Feng Ming stood there, waiting for her.
Jiang Yun Zhu felt that she didn't know how to speak.
"I, I know my sin. You, you, can you help me?" The more she spoke, the lower her voice became. In the end, it was inaudible. At this time, Jiang Yun Zhu no longer dared to look at Shen Feng Ming. She lowered her head and her heart beat was a mess.
Without waiting for Shen Feng Ming to answer, she continued, “I can repay you.”
"Repay me?" Shen Feng Ming seemed to be repeating her words, but also seemed to be asking how she wanted to repay him.
Jiang Yun Zhu was afraid that he would refuse or say something that would make her embarrassed, so she didn't dare to raise her head to observe what he was thinking. She just pursed her lips and nodded head. Then her heart felt cold.
How to repay him? If he wanted evidence of Lin Tingan's crime, she had no idea.
Lie to him?
Or did he want something else?
