Chapter 64: Chapter 64 Like a Person Without Emotion or Desire
Su Yan stood behind him, also without rest or food.
She watched the rising sun and wondered to herself:
What was wrong with her? These matters had nothing to do with her, so why was she following Chu Yuxiao without eating, drinking, or sleeping?
Could it be that her initial heart flutter for him had never actually faded?
By noon, a servant cleaning Ciyun Hall came to report that they had found a corpse in Aunt Lan’s wardrobe, belonging to one of her maids.
Su Yan covered the girl with a white cloth, feeling very melancholic. This was the sixth victim…
...
Although Aunt Lan was pitiable, she was also truly detestable!
“I will give a large compensation to the families of each victim; with this, let the matter rest.”
Behind her, Chu Yuxiao’s voice sounded.
Su Yan abruptly stood up, turned around, and scoffed:
“Compensation? No matter how much you give, it won’t bring them back to life!
If you truly feel guilty, you should give them justice, announce to the world who the murderer is!”
Chu Yuxiao glanced at her indifferently. Despite a day and a night of toil, there was still not a trace of fatigue on his face.
Not even a hint of sorrow.
He was calm, detached, indifferent, like a person devoid of emotion or desire…
“Impossible!” His thin lips parted lightly, and he uttered the word.
His tone, however, was impossibly firm.
“Chu Yuxiao, you are perverting justice for personal gain! In your heart, Aunt Lan is a good person, a relative.
But in the eyes of the victims’ families, she is a villain, a cold-blooded, ruthless murderer!
How can you justify shielding her, is this fair to the people of Linglan City?!”
Chu Yuxiao narrowed his eyes and spoke faintly, “Aunt Lan is already dead.”
“Does her death cancel out the crimes she committed?” Su Yan retorted.
She stared intently into his eyes, holding steadfastly to her own position.
In her heart, no matter the person’s predicament, murder was murder; no one had the right to take another’s life.
So what if Aunt Lan was a concubine to Marquis Chu?
If she killed someone, she should receive the corresponding punishment.
