Chapter 461: Such a Dark Heart

Under the dim candlelight, Shen Shuyi was mending the clothes seriously.

The girl was wearing a lotus pink skirt and a white cape on her shoulders. She wanted to go out at night, so her hair was combed simply but neatly.

Compared with the howling cold wind outside the window, the girl seems to be surrounded by an indispellable warmth, and the picture is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it.

Of course, the premise is not to look at the messy things sewn in the girl's hands...

Yuping stood aside, her eyes twitching as she watched, wanting to say something but stopping herself from speaking.

Jinzhu simply covered her eyes and turned around to think about finding something to do.

Shen Shuyi pursed her lips slightly. Didn't she know that they disliked her?

But she has tried very hard, okay?

Who made that bastard Xie Jingchi hit her sore spot as soon as he opened his mouth!

She was not good at needlework, but in her previous life she had practiced hard for a while in order to do some sewing and mending for Xiao Tingshan.

But later on, seeing that Xiao Tingshan didn't like to wear the things she made, she simply stopped wasting time on them.

Now, after several years, the skills that I had worked so hard to acquire have been completely lost.

Half an hour passed in a flash, and Shen Shuyi didn't move at all. He looked so serious, as if he was going to take part in the autumn examination tomorrow.

After a while, Shen Shuyi sighed softly and put the clothes on the table: "Okay..."

Several maids simultaneously poked their heads out to take a look, and then there was a moment of silence in the boudoir.

Shen Shuyi raised his eyes and glanced at the few people. He knew what this strange silence meant without asking.

After a while, Jinzhu couldn't help but utter, "Miss, do we want to ask Master Xie for a favor, or do we want to make an enemy of Master Xie?"

The beautiful dark red brocade robe matched with a piece of emerald green the size of a pastry made her look like a moving target walking in the night.

"Okay, you can go outside and close the door." Shen Shuyi said with a wooden face.

Jinzhu: “…”

Come again.

Yuping: "Miss, how about I help you... mend it?"

Shen Shuyi shook his head and sighed: "It's time to let Master Xie know how dangerous this world is."

In the middle of Hai hour.

The night was silent. Except for the lanterns lit in front of the doors of the wealthy families, almost every household had its doors and windows closed.

Besides the men who were looking for prostitutes, the people who came and went on the road were also the common people who had set up their stalls until late and were busy packing up their stalls and rushing on their way.

A royal blue carriage slowly stopped at the side door of the Shen Mansion.

The curtains of the carriage were made of thick royal blue brocade, with leaf patterns embroidered on the satin in light gold.

Not complicated, yet indescribably beautiful.

In comparison, Shen Shuyi felt that his hand was probably not a hand.

Seeing Shen Shuyi staring at the embroidery on the curtain, Jinzhu and Yuping couldn't help but want to laugh.

Shen Shuyi walked up the driveway: "Although I chose a piece of emerald green material, I really put a lot of effort into the tiger on it."

Qin Xin couldn't help rubbing her temples outside the car.

Jinzhu reminded seriously: "Miss, it's a python..."

Shen Shuyi had no expression on his face: "Oh."

After a cup of tea, the carriage slowly stopped in front of the Dali Temple prison.

After Jianpo helped Shen Shuyi out of the car, Shen Shuyi looked up.

There are three arched iron doors in a row, each with several different locks.

Just seeing it makes people feel chilly and unspeakably terrifying, and their pores seem to stand up uncontrollably.

Xie Jingchi was dressed in a blue brocade robe that failed to blend into the night. In the pitch-black night, he stood tall in front of the Dali Temple prison.

Although there was no light around him, the fine brocade on his body gave off a soft luster, which dispelled the terrifying feeling of darkness and suffocation.

Shen Shuyi couldn't help but think: This person is really willing to spend money on her and let her mend her clothes. Is he sure he is not teasing her?

"Thank you, sir." Shen Shuyi spoke first.

Xie Jingchi's sight fell on Shen Shuyi. The girl was wearing a white cloak and from her movements, it could be seen that she was holding a hot water bottle in her hands.

Xie Jingchi raised his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "The night is deep and the frost is heavy. Miss Shen's cloak is nice."

Shen Shuyi's expression remained unchanged: "Thank you for giving me a hundred taels, and I will give you five pieces."

Xie Jingchi: “…”

"Ms. Shen has a dark heart."

Shen Shuyi asked Yuping to pass the mended clothes to Xie Jingchi, curved his eyes, and said with a smile: "Same here."

The clothes were neatly wrapped in a black bag. Xie Jingchi handed it to Fu Guang behind him and turned around to signal the guards guarding the prison to open the door.

Shen Shuyi waited patiently for a long time, his eyes falling on the shoulder of the man diagonally in front of him, thinking that what he was wearing was indeed a little thin.

It would be fine if it was just a normal situation, but the wounds on my body haven’t healed yet. If I catch a cold like this, I’ll probably have difficulty walking when I’m old.

Not long after, Shen Shuyi followed Xie Jingchi into the Dali Temple prison alone.

The prison of the Dali Temple and the prison of the Ministry of Justice were located in two different places and were directly under the jurisdiction of the Dali Temple.

In the early years, when the Dali Temple investigated and solved cases, most of the people arrested were witnesses or unconvicted suspects, which did not attract much attention.

But since Xie Jingchi took over, the Dali Temple's efficiency in solving cases has increased dramatically, and the number of deaths has increased.

The so-called prison is far more horrifying than the Ministry of Justice.

Shen Shuyi followed behind Xie Jingchi, walking along the long and quiet path. The light was dim, and the air was filled with dampness and a bloody smell that could not be dispelled no matter what.

"Let me out! Let me out!!!"

"Xie Jingchi! If you dare to touch me, my father will not let you go!!!"

"Thank you, sir. I am innocent! Thank you for your insight!!!"

As the noise was heard, the prisoners who were originally sleeping seemed to be suddenly awakened. They ran towards the gate frantically, grabbed the railings above and shook them hard.

For a while, there was an endless sound of chains, wailing, begging for mercy, and cursing.

The fire pots on both sides of the path were shaking due to the roar, as if they were howling in the wind.

Xie Jingchi looked normal and was kind enough to stop and wait for Shen Shuyi for a while.

"Are you scared?" he asked, taking a look at the girl's expression.

Shen Shuyi smiled back: "Not bad."

In her previous life, she had indeed never been imprisoned. Although she was shocked when she saw it now, she did not feel anything.

After all, what is more terrifying than these is power and human nature.

After walking out of this long and quiet road, Shen Shuyi followed Xie Jingchi and turned twice, and his vision gradually widened.

There are winding paths in all directions, and it is easy to get lost without a guide.

But Shen Shuyi knew that the deeper he went, the more important this person would be.

Not long after, Shen Shuyi and Xie Jingchi walked through an interrogation room, where several jailers were splashing water to wipe the bloodstains on the ground.

A prisoner, covered in blood and with eyes bulging, was placed on the rack.

Shen Shuyi only took a glance and recognized that the man was Lu Qian.

Tsk, Xie Jingchi is really not afraid of offending Xiao Heyu's party. He is the nephew of Concubine Rou and he has never been lenient with her.

Before he could walk any further, Shen Shuyi heard a heart-wrenching roar.

Shen Shuyi raised his eyebrows, his eyes dark: Chai Bin.
