Female Master's Warm Jade

29

Did she kill him?

A hint of understanding appeared in her eyes. It turned out that this was what bothered him.

Yun Si admitted softly, "I killed her."

It was clearly the expected answer, but Pei Jingyao felt as if all his strength was drained away the moment she finished speaking, and even his breathing was stuttered for a few seconds.

"When did you know about this?"

"Some time ago."

Yun Si raised his eyes and looked at Pei Jingyao, then said softly, "Jingyao, it's not your fault. She deserved to die."

Pei Jingyao's breathing was a little rapid. He couldn't help thinking of the scene of that day. Many people surrounded him and pointed at him. For a long time, no one came forward to help him pull the woman off.

Yun Si patted his back gently, looking at Pei Jingyao who was lost in the past with a worried look. She could see his fear.

Pei Jingyao felt that he had fallen into a warm embrace. The warmth around Yun Si pulled him out of his memories. The moment he raised his eyes, he looked into Yun Si's eyes.

The pair of amber eyes shone on him like the sun, dragging him out of the quagmire and giving him hope to live.

Pei Jingyao shook his head, his eyelashes wet with mist, he grabbed Yun Si's collar, his tone was very uneasy.

"I didn't, no one else saw it, I'm clean."

Yun Si's eyes were even more distressed, such humiliation was more unbearable for Pei Jingyao than killing him directly. What did he go through to make up his mind to move into the dirty and filthy alley of prostitutes.

"I know everything, my Jingyao is the cleanest."

Yun Si hugged him tightly in his arms, letting him sob on his shoulder. He walked through the dirtiest and filthy places in the capital, but he was still as pure and clear as snow.

When Pei Jingyao stopped crying, he hesitated for a long time with red eyes before saying: "Did Ying'er tell you?"

Yun Si was silent for a while and nodded.

Pei Jingyao's heart shrank as if stabbed. His Adam's apple rolled and he said as calmly as possible: "Back then, Ying'er had a high fever, so I took him to hide in a temple. Someone told me that there was a Li's pharmacy outside that might be able to cure Ying'er's eye disease. But I had no money, so I had to beg her to let me buy on credit once, and I could work to pay her back."

Seeing Pei Jingyao telling the story of that year, Yun Si frowned and his eyes became more worried, but the man smiled at her to indicate that he was fine, and then continued to speak, trying to control his emotions.

"I knelt for three days, but she said... that if I was willing to give myself to her, she would treat Ying'er for free. I said I didn't want to, but she tried to do something shameful to me in the street."

Pei Jingyao's grip on Yun Si's hand suddenly tightened, and her voice trembled faintly, "I struggled for a long time before a few kind people took her away and sent her to the government. Ying'er's eyes were burned after that night. I delayed him."

Seeing Pei Jingyao looking up, Yun Si lowered her eyes to hide the emotions in her eyes. When she looked up again, the terrifying gloom in her eyes had disappeared.

Li Erlai's death was still too easy, she should have been tortured to death.

Yun Si gently brushed his wet eyelashes with her fingertips, and coaxed him softly: "It has nothing to do with you. You have done well enough. When we return to the northern border, Ying'er's eyes will be better."
