Shi Jiayu nodded.
As Yun Jinnian applied dicine to her, the pain made her inhale sharply.
"I rember now, thank you!"
"My surna is Yun, given na Jinnian!"
"Miss Yun!" Shi Jiayu called out softly.
His Mandarin still carried so of the Nanjiang accent, sounding soft and gentle.
And because he was injured, his voice was hoarse with a pitiable tone.
Yun Jinnian finished applying the dicine on Shi Jiayu and then brought her a set of n’s clothes to wear, "They are a bit large, but make do with them for now!"
"Thank you!"
Yun Jinnian poured a cup of water and fed it to Shi Jiayu, "Can you still walk?"
"Yes!"
Yun Jinnian helped Shi Jiayu off the carriage and led her toward the tent.
All eyes turned toward Shi Jiayu.
Shi Jiayu imdiately felt very nervous.
It was evident that these people were no ordinary folk, especially that man who had spoken earlier.
Shi Jiayu gave a slight curtsy.
"Hei, bring over a stool!"
Hei quickly brought over a stool for Shi Jiayu to sit on, while Yun Jinnian went to the side to carefully wash his hands and dry them with a towel.
Shi Jiayu did not speak. Only after Yun Jinnian had finished cleaning up and sat down did she begin to say, "My surna is Shi, given na Jiayu, and I am the eldest daughter of the Shi family estate. Being the only daughter of my parents, it was natural to seek a son-in-law to join our family. Two years ago, while I was out paying respects at a temple, I saved a man. He later beca my husband, Yan Ruihe. He told he was an orphan with nowhere else to go. He was also quite handso, and after spending so ti together, he behaved very well in all aspects. My parents were very taken with him, and I was too..."
As Shi Jiayu spoke, she began to cry.
No one comforted Shi Jiayu, because they simply did not know how to.
Shi Jiayu cried for a while before she continued, "Last year, we got married, and my father gradually started to let him get involved with the villa’s business, allowing him to go out and handle affairs. However, this year, my parents were hard by bandits when they were traveling. I always believed it was the work of bandits, until one day, I saw him cuddling with another woman. They said that once they got rid of , he would be able to take full control of the villa. He also admitted that it was he who had colluded with the bandits to kill my parents. What’s more, he was actually the bandit leader. I was terrified at the ti and accidentally made a noise, alerting him to my presence. He captured and locked up, and it was only with the life-risking efforts of my maid and wet nurse that I was rescued!"
Having said that, Shi Jiayu knelt on the ground with a thud, "Please, I beg you to help . Once the truth cos to light, I am willing to offer up the Shi family estate with both hands and am more than willing to serve as a slave or maid to repay your great kindness!"
After listening, Yun Jinnian’s eyes reddened slightly and he turned to Han Zhong, "Uncle Zhong, take so people and investigate!"
He stepped forward to help Shi Jiayu up.
"If what you say is true, then live well. You’re the only one left in your family, and the lineage of the Shi family must continue!"
Shi Jiayu, with tears streaming down her face, nodded vigorously.
In her heart, she had already decided. Once everything was settled, she would seal away the Shi family estate and go with Yun Jinnian, fulfilling her promise.
To serve as a slave or maid to repay the great kindness of Yun Jinnian.
Chu Yu saw that Yun Jinnian had charged Han Zhong with the investigation, so he decided not to intervene, "Let’s head straight to the Shi family estate!"
The true nature of the situation had to be witnessed to be known.
Yun Jinnian nodded and instructed Hei and Henuan to help Shi Jiayu onto the carriage, and sent Han Tianci to Prince Yanjun’s carriage. Han Tianci nodded obediently, and before boarding the carriage, he took a special look at Shi Jiayu.
Yun Jinnian climbed into the carriage and seeing Shi Jiayu still crying, handed her a handkerchief, "Wipe your tears."
Being so betrayed must be very painful.
Just like her past self, while she may not have harbored deep affection for Chu Liange, she had always put him first, yet her fate had been even more tragic than Shi Jiayu’s...
