Pei Ying, who received the news quickly, rushed over, with Pei Xinyi accompanying her, "What happened here?"
Yan Zi cried uncontrollably, watching Jiang Li being taken away right before her eyes, "Mom, please save him. Jiang Li didn’t do anything, it was all my doing."
"Co back with first, you’re pregnant, you must avoid emotional agitation. Don’t you want this child?" Pei Ying held her hand, feeling it chillingly cold.
A piercing gaze looked over, the night giving it a spine-chilling effect.
Pei Ying followed the gaze and sighed lightly, walking over, "Big sister-in-law, no one expected this to happen, you need to accept the grief."
Lu Yuke twitched her lips in a frosty smile, her cold gaze slashing across Yan Zi’s face, causing Yan Zi to shrink behind Pei Ying, this small gesture earning Lu Yuke’s disdainful smile.
"Justice will co, but the ti is not yet ripe." Leaving behind an ambiguous remark, she turned and left.
Pei Ying squinted her eyes slightly, gently patting Yan Zi’s back, "Don’t cry, Jiang Li will be fine, your fourth brother has already gone to deal with it."
Pei Xinyi draped the coat she held onto Yan Zi, softly saying, "Zizi sister, stop crying, think about yourself but also about the child you’re carrying. People die, but it’s not your fault, don’t bla yourself, and don’t be afraid, brother-in-law will be back by dawn."
Yan Zi, filled with fear, didn’t have ti to be bothered about whether the woman before her was her most disliked Pei Xinyi. The gentle tone seed to possess so kind of magic, easily calming her inner fears.
"Fourth sister-in-law, what should I do?" Yan Zi cried on her shoulder.
Pei Xinyi sighed, "Whatever will be, will be. Crying won’t solve the problem, don’t be afraid. Even if sothing happens, you still have Dad, Mom, your fourth brother, and ; we won’t let you be wronged."
It took a great effort to soothe Yan Zi to sleep, only for her to suddenly scream and sit upright, "Fourth sister-in-law, I had a nightmare, dreamt of Lu Mingzhu coming for revenge with a knife... It’s terrifying..."
Yan Zi’s eyes were swollen from crying, still filled with unabated fear, her whole body was trembling.
She dared not close her eyes, for each ti she did, she saw Lu Mingzhu, covered in blood, seeking revenge. It was too frightening.
Pei Xinyi’s gaze flickered, softly asking, "Tell , why did you and brother-in-law go to the Plum Forest so late at night?"
Hearing Pei Xinyi’s gentle voice gave Yan Zi a kind of urge to confide, so she said, "I saw him go out, so I curiously followed him. When I reached the Plum Forest, I saw soone standing under a tree. He called out for Ji Yunya, and I couldn’t stand it anymore, I rushed to confront the woman. You have no idea, I was on guard against Ji Yunya, Jiang Li loses his senses when he sees her, even though he says Ji Yunya is just a student he taught, I feel like his attitude towards Ji Yunya is unusual. Late at night, he sneaks out to secretly et Ji Yunya, I couldn’t swallow that, I rushed out to confront her, and then the accident happened... It wasn’t intentional, and I didn’t think it would be Lu Mingzhu..."
Yan Zi’s emotions were unstable, her words jumbled, but Pei Xinyi captured the essence: "Are you saying Jiang Li originally went to et Ji Yunya?"
"Yes, otherwise I wouldn’t have rushed out so anxiously. Who knew it would be Lu Mingzhu, the woman didn’t say anything, otherwise I wouldn’t have conflicted with her."
Pei Xinyi squinted slightly, the night’s events carried an air of eeriness, what exactly was the entanglent with this Ji Yunya?
A dead Lu Mingzhu, this matter may not seem large nor small, but in today’s lawful society, a person’s death is rather significant, especially since she was the grand-niece of the Yan family matriarch. It’s likely the matriarch and the fourth branch won’t let it rest.
The Yan family kept this matter tightly sealed, waking up the next morning, people went about their usual business, so completely unaware, others pretending to be deaf and dumb.
Jiang Li returned early in the morning, and Lu Mingzhu’s death was left unresolved, Lu Yuke no longer pursued it.
Lu Yuke sent soone to return Lu Mingzhu’s body to her hotown, Lu Mingzhu ca with grandeur but left silently.
Pei Ying had the habit of morning prayers, just having set down the wooden fish, Pei Xinyi walked in from outside.
Pei Ying leisurely stood up, and Pei Xinyi hurriedly stepped forward to support her.
"Why did you co over so early?" Pei Ying asked while washing her hands.
