Jiang Youzhi softly said, "Alright, the herbal tea you personally prepared, I’ll be sure to drink it every day."
Yun Jiao was taken aback for a mont; she hadn’t planned to prepare it herself, intending instead to let Zhang Shun do it for him.
However, since he put it that way, it wouldn’t be much trouble for her to personally prepare so herbal tea.
Jiang Youzhi added, "Today, during the day, the governnt office held a court session to examine Manager Sun, and he confessed everything."
Yun Jiao’s recently eased expression turned heavy again.
Jiang Youzhi had no other choice; he had to make things clear to Yun Jiao about this matter.
"Manager Sun blad you for his shop being robbed, so he harbored resentnt against you. Moreover, in his desire to make a coback, he set his sights on your secret formula."
Yun Jiao sighed helplessly.
Jiang Youzhi continued, "He had been plotting this for quite so ti."
"Initially planning to execute it outside the city, but realizing you rarely left the city for consultations, he had to relocate his plans inside the city."
"He quietly observed for a long ti, discovering that you mainly went out with just one person. He then found a forr acquaintance, a hooligan called Laizi, and asked him to introduce so skilled individuals."
"Laizi didn’t know any skilled individuals, so he casually found Mrs. Huang and had her find people for the job."
"Mrs. Huang, not wanting to let good opportunities slip away, called upon her own son and godson to participate."
"That’s roughly how things transpired."
Yun Jiao was silent for a while, "How did Prefect Xu sentence them?"
"The old woman and that person called Chong Er were sentenced to execution after the autumn harvest."
"The old woman’s case is clear; murder demands a life."
"As for Chong Er, it’s because he intended to—"
Jiang Youzhi paused, "In any case, Prefect Xu sentenced him to be executed after the autumn harvest as well."
"Manager Sun and the old woman’s son were both sentenced to a hundred lashes and three thousand miles of exile."
Jiang Youzhi said, "This ti, Prefect Xu’s sentences were quite severe. He was also very concerned about you and specifically inquired about your well-being."
After listening, Yun Jiao slowly nodded, then just stared blankly at one spot, not uttering a word.
No matter how heavy the sentences, Gu i wouldn’t co back to life.
Seeing her in a gloomy daze, Jiang Youzhi deliberately changed the subject, lightly clearing his throat, "Um—pull up your pants."
Only then did Yun Jiao look down.
She saw her two pale white thighs exposed.
She hadn’t really thought much of it, having worn much shorter pants in her past life.
However, she rembered that in this ti, won weren’t supposed to show their feet casually, so she quickly pulled her pants back up and grabbed a thin blanket to cover herself with.
Jiang Youzhi stood up, "Stop reading too. Get so sleep." With that, he left the room.
The next day, Yun Jiao seed to return to normal. After freshening up in the morning, she went to the kitchen to have breakfast on her own.
Jiang Youzhi ca in, also grabbing a bowl of porridge, and sat next to her, softly asking, "Jiao Jiao, did you sleep well last night?"
Yun Jiao nodded.
She then looked at Jiang Youzhi in surprise, "You—why are you calling ...?"
After all, he was a man, and although she regarded him as family in her heart, calling her that seed too intimate.
Jiang Youzhi cleared his throat, "Hm? Anything wrong?"
"Isn’t that what your mother calls you?"
"Besides, both Liu Lang and San Ya call you Sister Jiao Jiao, I’m older than you, so naturally, I should call you Jiao Jiao."
Yun Jiao stared at Jiang Youzhi. She wasn’t a fool.
Though she seed only fifteen, she was actually already twenty.
She hadn’t been in a relationship before, but that didn’t an she was dense.
She looked at Jiang Youzhi, and he looked back at her.
