Chapter 975 Lips Turning Purple
Chapter 975 Lips Turning Purple
Jiang Jiyun was captivated by the touching scene not far away, but soon her attention was drawn to a female college student standing at the back of the crowd, dressed in a very expressive manner.
She gently squeezed Jiang Wenming's hand and said in a low voice, "Uncle, look at that girl with her eyes darting around. She must be having a heart-wrenching, intense love story playing out in her mind right now!"
Although her voice wasn't loud, not only Jiang Wenming heard it, but Yu Ziheng, who was standing to the side, also heard it clearly.
Yu Ziheng watched as his little sister would grin foolishly one moment, then frown deeply the next, and then even have tears in her eyes.
He couldn't stand it any longer, so he strode over, reached out and gently patted Yu Nian's head, saying with a smile, "What are you thinking about, you silly girl? He's our uncle's child."
"Huh?" Yu Nian was startled by Yu Ziheng's words. She stopped her wild thoughts and asked in astonishment, "We have an uncle? How come I've never known that?"
Yu Ziheng shook his head helplessly. He didn't know why the two families hadn't had any contact for over twenty years, and he really couldn't give a definite answer to Yu Nian's question.
Jiang Jiyun looked around, her gaze landing on a building behind her. Then she turned to the middle-aged man beside her and asked curiously, "That building behind your house, isn't it the main residence of the Yu family? Although it looks like two different streets, they are actually houses back to back."
When Butler Song heard Jiang Jiyun's question, he smiled and replied, "That's right, young lady, you've observed very carefully. When the master bought this place, he chose it because of its special location, so he specially opened a small gate in the back courtyard wall that leads directly to the main house."
After listening, Jiang Jiyun nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that Yu Ziheng had successfully rescued Tang Danqing through that small door.
At this moment, Butler Song stepped forward and reminded her, "Madam, let's take the young master and the others inside first. The sun is a bit strong outside, so we shouldn't let them get sunburned."
Jiang Wenli then seemed to wake from a dream and let go of his hand, pulling Jiang Jiyuan into the house.
Jiang Jiyun quickly followed her uncle and the others into the house.
Yu Ziheng warmly invited everyone to sit down and instructed the housekeeper to serve breakfast, since everyone was still hungry.
The uncle and nephew, who had secretly filled their stomachs, and Xiao Wei watched as Butler Song had people put steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and boiled eggs on the table...
"I'm not hungry, you guys eat!"
"I'm not hungry right now, may I look around?"
Jiang Wenming and Xiao Wei were really too full to eat. They ate something while on guard duty. Jiang Jiyun had secretly made egg pancakes with meat, vegetables, and eggs back in his space.
They each ate three, and were completely full. It had been less than two hours, and they weren't hungry at all.
Jiang Jiyun also went out for a walk with Xiao Wei. Jiang Wenming also wanted to go out, but Jiang Jiyuan called him over. He reluctantly went over to greet his cousin whom he had never met before.
"You're Wenshun and Wenqi's younger brother? When I left, I remember your eldest brother and the others were only a few years old, and your second brother was just learning to walk..."
Jiang Jiyun was about to leave the house when she heard Jiang Wenli's voice coming from behind her.
Xiao Wei followed closely behind Jiang Jiyun, and the two of them arrived together at the locked small door.
The door looked a bit old, but the lock was brand new. Xiao Wei pressed his ear against the door, trying to hear what was happening inside.
They heard a commotion coming from next door, and it sounded like a lot of people were arguing.
One of them had a particularly loud voice, which was also mixed with angry curses.
Yu Ziheng followed, standing behind Xiao Wei and Jiang Jiyun, and explained, "My father is not home. He took my eldest brother to Jiangsu Province to do business. The irritable man's voice you are hearing now is Cao Sheng, my third brother Yu Zijun's uncle."
Xiao Wei nodded, indicating that he understood.
Then he took Jiang Jiyun's hand and led her aside so that Yu Ziheng could come over and unlock the door.
However, just as Yu Ziheng was about to unlock the door, Jiang Jiyun suddenly grabbed his hand and whispered, "Wait a minute, I think it's better not to open the door now. I think I saw some police officers at his house through the crack in the door."
Yu Ziheng shook his head and said softly, "It's nothing. This door is usually not locked. Yesterday, when something happened over there, I took Comrade Tang with me in the chaos. I locked it because I was worried that they would cause trouble here."
"Uncle Song said that someone from the Cao family came over early this morning. He told them that I was out discussing business and not at home. He locked the door because he heard someone shouting for help next door, and he locked it to make this place a route for the murderer to escape."
After Yu Ziheng unlocked the door, he saw several uniformed men watching them from the neighboring yard.
Li Hua had just finished interrogating Yu Juan, but she was gritting her teeth and refusing to speak. They still hadn't found out what poison she had used.
They were extremely agitated, so they went outside for some fresh air and saw the open door. When they saw Yu Ziheng appear at the door, they greeted him, "Second Young Master Yu, you've returned from your trip?"
Yu Ziheng smiled and said, "That's right, my uncle and cousin came over to visit, and I just picked them up."
A flicker of emotion crossed Li Hua's eyes as he asked with a smile, "But what did Butler Song say about you going to discuss business?"
Yu Ziheng sighed and said, "That was to give my mother a surprise. She hasn't seen her family for over twenty years."
As Jiang Jiyun watched the two of them exchanging pleasantries, her gaze fell on Li Hua's slightly purplish lips. She then looked at the other people in surprise before retreating back to Xiao Wei's side.
The shock in her eyes didn't disappear after she lowered her head. She had felt that something was wrong with her cousin when she saw him before, but she wasn't very confident in her medical skills. It looked a bit like poisoning.
While Jiang Jiyun was deep in thought, Li Hua's gaze also fell on the two figures, one big and one small.
Yu Ziheng inquired about the situation over there, looking very worried as he asked, "Detective Li, what happened to Madam and the others? I just heard Director Cao cursing."
Li Hua wasn't sure if Yu Ziheng was involved in Yu Juan's plan. He shook his head and said, "Yu Juan poisoned the Third Madam's family. Everyone except Yu Xiang was poisoned!"
Yu Ziheng said with an incredulous look, "Poisoning? Didn't my father say that Yu Juan was studying in Changshi? How did she come back to poison the Third Madam's family?"
Looking at Yu Ziheng's seemingly unaffected expression, Li Hua became even more uncertain about which side the other party was on.
"It's not just the Third Madam's family who's been poisoned; it seems like all of you have been poisoned!"
As they were talking, they all turned to look at Jiang Jiyun after suddenly hearing her words.
