Capítulo 1993: Chapter 1993: The Little Girl (3)
“Zizi,” Yang Ruxin looked up at Qi Zizi, “No matter what, she’s dead. Although she was a bit annoying, she never really caused any actual harm. So, she was very innocent—a young girl in the bloom of youth, just gone like that, and everything’s scattered…” She paused, “Zizi, life is very precious, and no one truly wants to die…”
“Sister Ruxin, I’m just saying, we will definitely catch the murderer and clear your na.” Qi Zizi nodded vigorously, “You should eat now, and tell what you want to eat tomorrow. I’ll ask Sister Fangfei to bring it to you…”
“Is she coming too?”
“We’ve all agreed, one person a day, so you’ll have sothing good to eat every day.” Qi Zizi smiled proudly, “Originally, it was Sister Xianrou’s turn today, but I cried my way in.”
“This…” Yang Ruxin felt both amused and moved, reaching out to pinch the young girl’s cheek, “Tell them not to co, I’m fine… and also, it’s best to let see the body as soon as possible… If there’s no progress from Lord Bai’s side, we’ll have to rely on you to go through the Empress Dowager’s route.”
“I know, but I just ca in, and I heard that the news over there is that the County Princess of Anning doesn’t agree to let you see the body, so it’s a bit troubleso…”
Yang Ruxin frowned.
“But don’t worry, I’ll beg the Empress Dowager once I return to the palace.” Qi Zizi widened her eyes at Yang Ruxin, “We all believe you wouldn’t kill her.”
“It slls so good, little girl. That roast chicken looks delicious. Give a chicken leg.” A strange man across the way sniffed vigorously, lying against the bars, watching them with drooling at his mouth.
Qi Zizi couldn’t help but turn back, but she shivered from fright.
“Don’t be afraid.” Yang Ruxin hurriedly reached out to hold Qi Zizi’s hand, “He’s human, just a bit dirty.”
Qi Zizi breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and walked to the doorway to look at the man: “I can give you a chicken leg, but what will you exchange for it?”
“I…” The man was stumped, but suddenly he laughed, “You little girl are quite interesting.” Then, suddenly, he moved with lightning speed, throwing a chain that wrapped around Qi Zizi’s waist and dragged her over.
“County Princess!” Ding Hui scread in fright.
“Zizi…” Yang Ruxin was also startled, rushing over, but seeing the old man already holding Qi Zizi’s arm, she stopped instinctively. Her intuition told her that although the old man was strange, he wouldn’t harm Zizi.
“Little girl, why aren’t you crying?” The strange man looked at Qi Zizi and laughed.
“Why should I cry?” Qi Zizi was scared, but she was trying her best to stay calm. Hearing the man’s question, she beca even more composed and even rolled her eyes.
“You’re courageous.” The strange man let go, “It’s a pity you’re a girl, not suited to learn my martial arts; otherwise, I would take you as my disciple…”
The two prison guards who had followed along breathed a sigh of relief. If Qi Zizi had really died here, their heads would be forfeit.
“Who wants to be your disciple?” Qi Zizi pouted, “Besides, what’s wrong with being a girl? Your mother was once a girl too, and you look down on girls?”
“Ah, you little girl… so glib, you must know, back in the day…” The strange man suddenly sighed, “Forget it…” Then he turned back and sat down on the straw in the corner, lowering his head to start drinking.
