Lu Shu looked at Ji Yuyan as if she were already a dead person, with disdain and disgust in his eyes.
Ji Yunxi looked at him and smiled. "Put away your sword. The people will be here soon."
"Yes." He was so obedient that it was unbelievable. He was no longer the terrifying god of death he used to be.
Her smile sent a chill down Ji Yuyan's spine. Especially the word "Ministry of Justice" made her feel extremely frightened.
"Ji Yunxi, what on earth are you going to do!" Ji Yuyan still tried to bluff. She deliberately raised her voice, hoping to get help near this remote villa.
Just as Lu Shu had put away his sword, seeing her acting up, he immediately said coldly, "What are we going to do? It's just that your mother has confessed her crime, so the Ministry of Justice is coming to take you away."
"You, you're lying!" Ji Yuyan was visibly panicked. Confessed? What crime had her mother confessed?
"Don't you know whether I'm lying or not?" Lu Shu's sarcastic tone completely enraged Ji Yuyan. She had a guilty conscience. Now, not knowing the details made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
"You're just lying. My mother has lived in this villa alone for so many years. What crime could she have confessed?"
"Ji Yuyan, your heart is so hard. Your mother even took the blame for your poisoning. Are you still going to keep your mouth shut?"
Ji Yuyan felt a chill in her heart. She knew Ji Yunxi well. If she didn't have evidence, she wouldn't have torn up the pretense with her directly.
Looking at her expressionless face now, she must know everything.
But so what? From the first day she did it, she knew that one day it would be exposed. She just didn't expect that she hadn't found a backer yet.
As long as she refused to admit it, what could Ji Yunxi do to her?
Suddenly, Ji Yuyan changed her attitude. "What should I say? You said I poisoned someone. Who did I kill? Maybe you tortured my mother so that she had to confess?"
Seeing that she still had no intention of repenting, Ji Yunxi thought it was ridiculous. "Ji Yuyan, you know very well what poison you used. You could even kill your father. It's so immoral that I can't even bear to say it. Do I need to torture you and your mother? But I am really curious."
"Don't you feel guilty when you see your father in your nightmares?"
Ji Yuyan widened her eyes and immediately retorted, "What evidence do you have to say that I killed my father! Father clearly died of a sudden illness!"
But Ji Yunxi didn't want to look at her anymore. She turned her head, and there was no trace of emotion on her face.
Ji Yuyan originally wanted to provoke her and make her kill her directly. In this way, it would be better than being despised by the world in the prison of the Ministry of Justice.
But unfortunately, she didn't take the bait. Her plan was like punching cotton, not causing the slightest ripple.
Over the years, Ji Yunxi had always been like this, always looking so high - and - mighty, getting close to her as if she were bestowing favors, which was really disgusting!
Ji Yuyan's eyes became more and more venomous. Lu Shu frowned and blocked her sight of looking at Ji Yunxi.
"If I were you, I wouldn't keep arguing here. You'd better go in and see your mother more. After all, once you go, you may never see her again."
Hearing this, Ji Yuyan immediately got up from the ground. Without answering Lu Shu, she rushed straight into the yard.
Ji Yunxi watched all this and felt that she couldn't understand this person at all.
If you said she was filial, she could do such an immoral thing as killing her father. But if you said she was unfilial, all her actions of stealing from the warehouse were to help Qiao Shi.
Maybe this was just the play of fate?
Ji Yuyan stumbled into the yard. Qiao Shi seemed to sense her daughter's arrival and pushed open the shabby door.
As soon as they met, Qiao Shi hugged her daughter and cried. Despair was written all over her face.
"Mother, mother, are you okay?"
Ji Yuyan looked at Qiao Shi carefully, making sure that she wasn't injured. Only then did she feel a little relieved.
But Qiao Shi was almost on the verge of collapse. "Yiner, it's over. We're finished, Yiner!"
She cried loudly. But outside the door, Ji Yunxi thought that these crocodile tears were just extremely ridiculous.
"Yiner, that man knocked out everyone in the yard. He forced me, forced me to admit that I killed that woman back then..." Qiao Shi sobbed and held on to the last straw desperately.
"Mother, don't be afraid. Don't say anything."
Qiao Shi shook her head. "It's too late. It's too late. If I don't say it, if I don't admit it, then you'll have to admit it. Yiner, mother has been a failure all her life, making you suffer. So mother will definitely protect you well..."
Saying that, Qiao Shi suddenly pulled Ji Yuyan to her side and whispered in her ear, "Mother has to admit it. That man is very powerful. If I don't say it, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you for the last time. I can't bear it. Mother still wants to see you again - I've taken the blame for your killing of Ji Qilin. Don't be afraid and never admit it. Remember, remember!"
Ji Yuyan was shocked by the words "Remember" and burst into tears uncontrollably.
"Mother, you're so stupid!"
"I'm not stupid. As long as my Yiner is okay, I'm not stupid at all." Qiao Shi even showed a relieved smile as she said this. She reached out to wipe the tears from Ji Yuyan's face.
Looking at the deep affection between the mother and daughter, Ji Yunxi thought of her own mother who had been killed by them. Now they were crying in each other's arms, looking extremely sad. But they never thought about whether she, who had lost her mother because of them, was also in great pain.
Thinking of this, she felt that the grief of Ji Yuyan and her mother was extremely eye - catching.
Walking slowly towards them, a look of killing intent appeared on Ji Yunxi's face.
Ji Yuyan felt someone approaching from behind. Being familiar with Ji Yunxi for so many years, she immediately guessed who it was.
If it weren't for her, her mother wouldn't have suffered for so many years. That old man Ji Qilin had treated her so badly, all because of Ji Yunxi!
Great hatred enveloped Ji Yuyan's nerves. Suddenly, she shook off Qiao Shi and turned around, striking directly at Ji Yunxi with her palm.
However, before she could touch Ji Yunxi, she was hugged tightly by Qiao Shi. "Don't go, Yiner!"
Ji Yuyan's eyes were red, filled with boundless anger.
"We can't beat her. Don't go, Yiner. Don't go to your death..."
Ji Yunxi looked down on them coldly, watching them snuggle up to each other, looking at her with hatred in their eyes.
Soon, accompanied by the neighing of horses, the people from the Ministry of Justice arrived.
Without saying much, they escorted Qiao Shi and her daughter back. They were put on heavy shackles. Ji Yuyan still couldn't help but turn back and stare at Ji Yunxi even after walking a long way.
On a tree not far away, a shadow suddenly moved and then quietly hid in the forest.
After only a hundred meters, a person suddenly appeared on the ground out of thin air and walked away quickly.
Jiang Yaoji had just squinted her eyes when a secret agent came to report.
"Master, Ji Yunxi has sent Ji Yuyan to the prison of the Ministry of Justice. The people have already been taken away."
