Chapter 128 DUAN YU AS THE GODLY DOCTOR



When he’s done, a screen appeared in front of him.

Body Status: [Dead]

Time of Death: [1 hour ago]

Cause of Death: [Poison]

Poison? Then wouldn’t this mean that the second young miss actually didn’t hang herself? She was poisoned first and then hanged to make it look like suicide. He bet the poison that killed her was the same poison ingested by Prince Lin Rong. The colorless and tasteless poison that could only be found in the Kingdom of Wei.

So, even this was connected to Wei?

But why would they kill this second young miss? If he’s not mistaken, the girl was the daughter of the eldest son of Prince Lin Rong with his legal wife. What’s the connection of this sheltered miss to the conspiracy involving Wei?

He stood up, the mother of the second miss was still going on with her tirade. This time, he didn’t ignore her.

"Your daughter, she didn’t kill herself. She was poisoned," he said and then observed the reaction of the women inside the room.

The mother and the sister, as expected, looked surprised and astounded. They even stopped crying. The maids also appeared a bit surprised. There was one woman who snorted, as if what he said was just a joke. Then there was also one woman who looked like she’s conflicted about something. Both women were wearing expensive clothing which could only mean that they’re both ladies of the manor. Either a concubine or another wife.

The mother suddenly grabbed the helm of Duan Yu’s sleeve. "Is it true? My daughter didn’t kill herself?"

"Sister, don’t tell me you’re taking the words of a stranger so seriously?" the one looking at them earlier like they were a joke said.

The mother glared at her. "Shut up! Don’t think that I didn’t know how happy you are seeing my daughter dead! What, do you think with her gone your daughter would be able to marry the young master of An family? Dream! A girl born from a concubine. The An family would never accept her!"

The other woman’s face rose red in humiliation. Then she stood up and raised her chin. "At least my daughter is still alive."

"You--!"

The woman looked at the corpse in derision, then stomped out of the room.

Duan Yu felt like he just watched a drama set in the ancient times. The woman who just left was most likely a concubine of Prince Lin Rong’s eldest son. Thus the scene just now.

"That woman. It must be that woman who killed my Xiao Lan!"

"Mother, please calm down," the younger sister said before turning to Duan Yu. "This gentleman, please tell us your identity before saying such a statement."

"I’m a doctor travelling with the crown prince. If you still think that my identity is questionable, then you can go and ask him," he said.

"Then, are you sure? Did someone really kill my daughter?" the mother asked, tugging at the helm of his sleeve again.

He pulled it back. "Yes."

"Does that mean that someone hanged my sister?"

Duan Yu didn’t answer. If this had something to do with Wei, then maybe one of their spies were hanging around here. He didn’t want to alert them about the fact that he could detect their undetectable poison. It might cause trouble to their investigation. Which could only extend their time of solving this thing. Something that he and his temporary team mates wouldn’t want.

"Madame, I’m not sure if this was connected," the woman who looked like she was struggling to say something said. "Earlier, I was walking near the bamboo forest when I met the young miss. She seemed very upset. She passed by me without even looking at me. I was curious, so I walked to the direction where she came from. And then I saw it."

"What did you see? Tell me!" the mother shouted when the woman stopped what she was about to say.

"It’s Young Master An in a compromising situation with one of young miss’s maid. That girl named Meigui!"

The mother lost her balance and almost fell over. If the younger sister didn’t support her, she might have already collapsed.

"Aunt, please, don’t talk nonsense," the younger sister said.

"I wish it’s all nonsense. But it’s what I saw. I’m sorry," the woman said as if she was also in pain.

"Those cheating bastards!" bellowed the mother. "I will kill them!"

Then she suddenly dashed out of the room.

"Mother!"

The younger sister, of course, followed quickly.

The other woman was also about to follow but Duan Yu stopped her. "At what time did you say you saw the young miss running away from this place of rendezvous?"

The woman seemed to be taken aback by his question. Probably because she didn’t expect for him to ask that. "It’s- I don’t know, about 40 minutes ago. Just before the banquet started."

Then she ran out, as if worried that he would ask more questions.

Duan Yu smiled. Because the woman just lied. According to his [Diagnose] skill, the second young miss died an hour ago. Which meant that she was already dead by the time this woman mentioned. Then it would have been impossible for the woman to encounter her. So, why would she lie?

Well, what she said was probably not all a lie. Since according to what Noctis said earlier, the fiancé of the young miss did have an affair with a maid. But that was unimportant. The fact was, she couldn’t have seen the young miss at the time she mentioned. Then why lie to the mother about it? Why tell it in a way that would totally put the blame on the two a.d.u.l.terers?

If Duan Yu didn’t find that suspicious, then he might as well tell everyone that he didn’t bring his IQ with him to this game.

Then he turned to one of the maids. "Who is that woman just now?"

The maid appeared perplexed by his question but still answered, "She’s the wife of the second master."

The second master should be the younger son of Prince Lin Rong. "What’s her background?"

"She’s a former courtesan from Yuexing Pavilion."

He raised the corner of his lips. Now, wasn’t that interesting?
