“What are you talking about?” Ji Shuhan frowned
Ji Yunshu ignored hilance to Ji Yuanzhi, as still iate She looked back at Magistrate Liu and pleaded, “Magistrate, please ready the hall for trial… for the murders at the Wei Mansion”
‘Wei Mansion? Isn’t this about Luan’er’s death?’ thought Magistrate Liu

Ji Shuhan was rather confused ‘Why are we back at the Wei Mansion case?’ His heart was struck with sudden apprehension
Ji Yunshu stood upright by Ji Yuanzhu’s left In her usual garments, she lacked the proudness and the sharpness of Teacher Ji but gained a woed to her normal self However, the animosity in her eyes expelled almost all of it away; a little ed by hatred, a little less and she would be seeistrate Liu wiped his eyes with his sleeves and habitually reached out for his gavel He was about to s interrupted hih He suddenly realized as there and immediately dropped the object He cleared his throat and flashed a glance at Ji Yuanzhi Then, he shifted his attention toward Ji Yunshu and asked in a entle manner, “Yunshu, so, are there any links between the murders at the Wei Mansion and Luan’er’s suicide?”

“What nonsense… I ould I want to go there I haven’t been in the kitchen at all,” retorted Ji Yuanzhu
“You don’t need to deny it so quickly There are probably a few things even you can’t quite understand, such as… why did Madame Wei and Lord Wei die, and why I am unharmed”
