Chapter 230

Thinking of this, Song Shiyun tentatively asked other questions, "Then do you know who the third Miss of the Qiu family is?"

Jingyi still shook her head.

Song Shiyun asked a few more questions.

No matter how simple or difficult it is, Jingyi will basically just shake her head and have no other answer.

Song Shiyun became increasingly certain that there was definitely something wrong with Jingyi's state.

"Then do you know where Sister Mingzhu lives?" Song Shiyun asked a simple question.

Jingyi was stunned for two seconds before pointing to the east side of the backyard.

There is also a separate small courtyard with two rows of wing rooms.

Basically, the female relatives of the aristocratic families who were sent here for self-examination all lived there.

Song Shiyun and Qiu Bai walked over and saw that the courtyard was deserted, with almost no one around.

Jingyi walked in blankly, took them to one of the side rooms, and pointed to the door.

It seemed to be telling Song Shiyun and others that Ye Mingzhu lived here.

Seeing this, Song Shiyun took Qiu Bai in.

Jingyi followed them.

Song Shiyun looked around and saw that the wing was a bit narrow. It could barely accommodate a bed and a cabinet, and there was still room for one person to move around.

Compared with the room Ye Mingzhu lived in at Ye's house, it was like heaven and earth.

It's strange that Ye Mingzhu can get used to living here.

However, these are superficial problems.

As soon as Song Shiyun came in, he felt that the atmosphere here was more turbid, and there was a faint smell.

Song Shiyun frowned, followed the smell and walked over. There was a window opened on the wall opposite the door.

Song Shiyun stretched out his hand to push open the window and saw that the window faced the garden at the back.

There were many shadows from the trees, making it difficult to see what was going on over there.

Song Shiyun turned around and looked at Jingyi, "My sister lives here?"

Jingyi rarely nodded.

Song Shiyun walked over and said, "I heard that my sister fell ill after she came in. How do you take care of people at Izumo Temple?"

Jingyi still looked at Song Shiyun with a blank expression, as if she didn't know how to answer such a complicated question.

"Boom boom boom——"

However, just before Song Shiyun spoke again, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Song Shiyun and Qiu Bai looked up and saw a girl of about eighteen or nineteen years old standing at the door.

She was wearing plain clothes, without any decorations, and her face was bare. It looked like she was a young lady from aristocratic family who cultivated her hair here.

At this time, she stood at the door, looking a little reserved, and timidly peeked inside.

Seeing Song Shiyun looking up, she subconsciously shrank her neck and took a step back, "That..."

Song Shiyun took the initiative to walk over and asked, "Who are you?"

"Oh, I, my name is Jiang Yixue." The girl heard this and quickly introduced herself: "I, I live next door to Mingzhu..."

Song Shiyun was a little surprised.

Jiang Yixue quickly explained: "I heard something moving here and thought Mingzhu was back, so I came over to take a look."

Song Shiyun looked at Jiang Yixue. It was rare to meet a young and talkative person here. She still made an excuse: "I am Ye Mingzhu's sister. She may not come back. I came here to help her pack her things." .”

When Jiang Yixue heard this, she suddenly became anxious, "Why doesn't she come back? Yes, did something happen?"

Song Shiyun saw that she looked wrong, so he followed her words and said with a serious face: "Yes, she is very ill now and may not survive the next few days..."

"What?" Jiang Yixue's face suddenly turned very pale, "How could this happen? Could it be that you were scared that day?"

Song Shiyun narrowed his eyes, "Are you scared?"

Jiang Yixue seemed to realize that she had said the wrong thing, so she quickly covered her mouth, turned around and ran away.

Song Shiyun grabbed her arm and dragged her into the room.Jiang Yixue shouted in fear, "No, don't hold me, I, I don't know anything, I don't know anything..."

Song Shiyun slammed the door with his backhand and pressed Jiang Yixue against the door panel. "Miss Jiang, your reaction is like this. If you tell me that you don't know anything, do you think I will believe it?"

Jiang Yixue trembled all over and stared at Song Shiyun in horror.

Song Shiyun looked serious and reminded: "By the way, I forgot to tell you that my grandfather, the chief minister of the dynasty, is also here. If he knows that you have deceived us, do you think he will let it go?" You?"

When Jiang Yixue heard this, her eyes suddenly widened, but her previous excitement calmed down strangely.

"First, first assistant..."

Song Shiyun was a little surprised by her reaction, but he remained calm and said, "Yes."

Jiang Yixue swallowed hard and took two quick breaths, as if she wanted to calm down, "I, I don't know what to say... I, I... That night, Mingzhu and I were lying together by the window. When I was admiring the moon, I saw outside that it looked like someone was killing people and burying corpses..."

Qiu Bai's expression suddenly changed.

Song Shiyun's face sank, "Kill people and bury their bodies?"

Jiang Yixue nodded slightly, "Well... I, we saw, someone was carrying a completely motionless person... digging a hole to bury the body..."

At that time, Jiang Yixue and Ye Mingzhu were both very frightened. When they were at a loss, someone from the opposite side seemed to look over.

The two men were so frightened that they immediately closed the windows.

Jiang Yixue didn't dare to stay in Ye Mingzhu's room any longer, so she hurried back to her room.

Ye Mingzhu also followed her, saying that she wanted to sleep with her, but she didn't dare to sleep alone.

Jiang Yixue has always been timid, not daring to offend anyone, and it is hard to refuse when she hears someone say something.

But as soon as the two fell asleep together, Ye Mingzhu seemed to be calling a ghost. She kept shouting that there was a ghost in the house, and then she developed a high fever.

Jiang Yixue didn't know what to do, so she went to notify the old woman who was sleeping in the outer courtyard and came with Ye Mingzhu.

It is said that they were sent here by the Ye family, saying that they would keep an eye on Ye Mingzhu for a while to prevent Ye Mingzhu from causing any trouble in Izumo Temple.

The old woman lives in the big courtyard outside.

When she learned that Ye Mingzhu was ill, she rushed over with her master and others.

When she saw Ye Mingzhu talking nonsense, Mrs. Xuan Hui said that Ye Mingzhu might have been infected with cold and had nightmares, and she needed to call a doctor.

The mother-in-law was a little worried and said she wanted to go home and invite someone to come and take a look.

Although Master Xuan Hui didn't agree, the mother-in-law still forced her to return to Ye's house. Not long after, someone came and took Ye Mingzhu away.

Jiang Yixue has always been worried about Ye Mingzhu's situation.

I wonder if Ye Mingzhu was frightened by what happened that day.

"It's the mother-in-law of the Ye family who wants to go home and report this matter?" Song Shiyun grasped an important point.

Jiang Yixue nodded quickly, "Yes, she insisted on going to Ye's house to report. I, I just thought that Ye Mingzhu might be a little seriously ill. If that is the case, then she must have been frightened that day..."

Song Shiyun and Jiang Yixue thought differently.

The mother-in-law of the Ye family most likely knew that Ye Mingzhu had been cursed before, and she might have suspected that Ye Mingzhu had some illness due to this incident, so she rushed back to the Ye family.

However, Ye Mingzhu fell ill not long after arriving here. The Ye family should have been notified of this matter.

However, Master Xuan Hui did not agree before.

There is a doorway here.

Song Shiyun pondered for a moment and then asked: "Then where did you see someone burying the body that day? Is it in this back mountain?"

Jiang Yixue's eyes turned red, and she nodded again, choking with sobs: "Yes, yes..."

Song Shiyun stared into her eyes, "So, after Ye Mingzhu was taken away, did Master Xuanhui and others make things difficult for you?"

A trace of confusion flashed in Jiang Yixue's eyes, "She, why are they making things difficult for me?"

Song Shiyun narrowed his eyes, "There are only a few people who can bury corpses in the mountains behind Izumo Nunnery. It is very likely that people inside Izumo Nunnery did it. When you and Ye Mingzhu spied on it accidentally, maybe they also I saw you."

Jiang Yixue suddenly widened her eyes and trembled all over, "Yes, it's someone from the nunnery? I, I don't know, I... no one is targeting me... no..."

As she said that, she seemed to remember something again, and her body shook violently.
