That night, the news that Lou Bufan and Madam Ru were going to be executed spread throughout the entire Thousand Mountains Island.
Min Ningwan came to Ji Minglou in a hurry. "Minglou!"
She paused.
The room was dark and there was no hand lamp. There was only the faint candlelight under the corridor, mixed with a few strands of cold moonlight that shone on Ji Minglou.
He was half caged in the night and half submerged in the moonlight, as if he had been cut in half.
Min Ningwan's heart skipped a beat.
She took a deep breath and slowly walked into the house.
At this moment, she realized that Ji Minglou was holding a piece of paper that had been crumpled by him.
"Minglou…"
She said softly, "Something happened."
Ji Minglou asked in a daze, "How did Dad die?"
Min Ningwan was stunned.
