Chapter 431: Chapter 430: I Just Want to Say Three Words to You_1

Su Sikong is really dead!

Originally obese due to excessive worry and poor diet, his sudden dramatic weight loss had left his skin hanging loosely all over, and the half-open, half-closed eyes that usually squinted upwards seemed to be staring at a certain point in the void.

He had a peaceful expression on his face, even with a strange smile on his lips, and there were no signs of injury on his body.

Even his clothes were without a single wrinkle, as if he had simply fallen asleep.

As if in the next moment he would open his eyes and look at everyone.

Despite the lack of horror in the corpse, Su Pan’er felt a churning in her stomach when she first saw it and couldn’t help but vomit.

She vomited until the room spun.

Qin Yi rushed to support her, rubbing her back soothingly.

"I’m okay."

After Su Pan’er finished vomiting, she shook her head and leaned onto Qin Yi for support. "He died from a strange poison. This poison is very peculiar. Once infected, it twists the facial nerves, presenting a peculiar smile. Looking at it for a long time gives you goosebumps."

"Yes, Wu Zuo examined the body too. He also said that the victim was poisoned with an unusual and malicious toxin."

Hwa Diexiang waved his large hand, ordering the body to be removed.

"Previously, the government employees had Su Sikong and Wang Qi, Wang Ba separately detained in one place."

Jun Ruochen and the others were discussing the case at the side. "They were left here unattended until the evening, when the prison guard came to deliver food and found that Su Sikong didn’t react. At the time, they didn’t think it was strange and left. Later, they discovered that the prison guard at the entrance was knocked out, so they rushed to check the cell, and discovered the crime scene."

Everyone was silent.

Actually, Su Sikong’s death had saved them a lot of trouble. The wrongdoings he had committed in his lifetime could be wiped clean, and the whole Su family wouldn’t be implicated any further.

However, someone had silenced him while he was in jail, and County Magistrate Jun Ruochen would bear a considerable responsibility for it.

"How long has he been dead?"

After a long silence, Su Pan’er asked softly.

"He’s been dead for about two hours."

Hwa Diexiang sighed involuntarily. "Originally, according to Su Sikong’s crimes, a verdict of immediate execution would be justified. But now that he is dead, things have become complicated. Mainly because it will be difficult to report to the higher-ups. So... "

Everyone became silent once again.

After a while, Jun Ruochen sighed. "Actually, Su Sikong has had contacts with a mysterious organization in the past. I wanted to investigate this gang, hoping to use Su Sikong to draw them out. But then, this happened..."

Life is indeed unpredictable!

"How about we just report it as a suicide out of fear of punishment?"

Hwa Diexiang suggested discreetly.

At his words, everyone fell silent once again.

Both murder and suicide result in death, but the difference between the two is enormous.

"No need, just report it as it is. If we hide the truth, at best it will affect everyone’s future, but at worst, it’s deceiving the emperor. I’ll take care of this."

After a moment of serious consideration, Jun Ruochen declined the suggestion. "It’s late now, everyone should go home and rest."

Everyone nodded in agreement and left one after another.

Su Pan’er and Qin Yi also bid farewell to Jun Ruochen and the others.

Seeing Qin Yi frowning at her side, she couldn’t help but sigh. "So much has happened in just two days. The border between life and death is indeed hard to define."

"Life is full of unpredictability and fortune is ever-changing!"

Qin Yi spoke softly, "It seems that in life, one needs to learn to cherish the people around them and live in the present. Only then will we have no regrets when it’s really time to leave."

Indeed, life is unpredictable!

The two of them silently returned home.

"You go lie down first, I’ll get some water for you to soak your feet. The weather has cooled down, so don’t catch a cold."

After Qin Yi finished speaking, he turned and left.

Indeed!

The weather had indeed cooled down.

Before Qin Yi mentioned it, Su Pan’er hadn’t felt the cold, but now that he mentioned it, she felt chilly, with the cold penetrating her back.

Thinking of the child in her womb, she quickly took off her shoes and socks, curled up at the head of the bed, lost in thought.

Qin Yi was back quickly, holding a basin of hot water.

"What are you thinking about?"

He closed the door, placed the basin on the floor, soaked a towel in the hot water, squeezed it dry, and passed it to Su Pan’er. "Are you still thinking about Su Sikong’s matter? We can’t get involved in this anyway. Let’s leave it to Lord Jun. I guess Great General Ye might be able to help him handle it."

Su Pan’er wiped her face. "No, I’m pondering about Su Yue’er."

"Why on earth would you think of her out of the blue?"

The mention of her made Qin Yi’s face darken. He took the towel, cleaned it and wrung it out. "She’s a troublemaker through and through, why think about her? You should be thinking about me, about our child in your belly, about our family. "

"Oh, you!"

Su Pan’er pointed at Qin Yi’s forehead with a finger. "Where did your mind wander to? I mean, it’s strange that we haven’t seen her since the incident. She usually jumps out and makes a fuss about anything, so why is she so quiet this time?"

"What’s so strange about that? You’re not used to her not making a fuss for once?"

Qin Yi shook his head, finding it extremely funny. He then bent down and actually started to wash Su Pan’er’s feet.

"No, I’ll do it myself..."

Su Pan’er instinctively retracted her foot, trying to evade him.

"Don’t move!"

Qin Yi held her foot firmly. "Let your husband wash your feet."

Perhaps it was his persistence that blunted Su Pan’er’s struggle. She allowed him to hold her foot and slowly soak it in the hot water.

"Back when I was pinned to the chopping block, ready to be beheaded, I was thinking if heaven gave me another chance to live, what would I do?"

The warm water flowed over the surface of her feet, bringing a kind of warmth that spread up from the soles of her feet, instantly warming Su Pan’er’s heart.

She felt his large hands carefully pouring warm water and gently scrubbing her feet.

Her small feet were exquisite, and her pink toenails were like shells, beautiful enough to make one reluctant to let go.

Water droplets rolled over her feet, creating sparkling drops that cheekily slipped over her small toes. The rising mist created a scene so beautiful that Qin Yi didn’t want to ruin it, as he carefully wiped her instep.

As though he was meticulously caring for a treasure.

"What would you do?"

Su Pan’er finally mustered the courage to speak.

As she spoke, she realized how hoarse her throat was.

"I just wanted to tell you three words."

Qin Yi’s hands slowly moved up her foot. "Pan’er, I love you!"
