When Chu Heng walked out, Su i and Chun Xing were called in to attend.
Ye Muyu felt uncomfortable all over, her stomach uneasy. Seeing Chun i co in, she quickly asked for a spittoon, spat out so dicine, but dared not make a loud noise, forcing even tears to the surface.
Su i watched with deep concern: "Lady, I’ll go get Doctor Lu to co in."
"No, no need." Ye Muyu stopped her.
If Su i went out now, it would be blatantly telling Chu Heng she was unwell.
"It’s just dizziness and the urge to vomit. Calling a doctor is useless, I just need more rest." Ye Muyu tried to convince her in a calm voice.
Seeing Su i still worried, she hadn’t managed to persuade her.
Ye Muyu simply beca stern: "Lu Sangqi ntioned this after his last visit too. I just drank the dicine; it needs ti to take effect."
"If you call the doctor, won’t Ah Heng know I’m unwell?"
"I’m too troubled to focus on recovering."
Su i saw Ye Muyu’s deanor, sowhat helpless, realizing that insisting would only truly upset the lady, she could only nod in agreent.
Chun Xing breathed a sigh of relief and honestly stayed beside Nuanbao.
She was quite pleased she didn’t need to act as a spy about the master and lady’s situation.
Sister Su i is really clever.
anwhile, Chu Heng walked out and asked about Liuye and the guards’ situation, noting that the captured perpetrator previously refused to say anything.
As soon as Chu Heng approached, using harsh thods, he pried open the man’s mouth, confirming his connection with the People of the Southern Border. Just as he was questioning the critical point, the man bit open the poison in his mouth and collapsed dead in an instant.
"Investigate his background thoroughly; this person is a citizen of the capital, even if he acted on soone’s behalf, he has family." Chu Heng coldly commanded, looking at the dead man.
The secret guards lurking in the shadows received the command and quickly dispersed.
At the sa ti, Chu Heng handed the man’s body over to Lu Sangqi for examination.
After examining, Lu Sangqi frowned: "No, there are no Gu insects in his body."
"I think sothing is amiss." Lu Sangqi stated outright: "Although I haven’t encountered many People of the Southern Border, their operations are secretive and they might make a mistake, but they wouldn’t reveal themselves so easily."
"Maybe they’ve kept hidden for so long they’re habitually not surfacing, even if the Sacred Girl of the Southern Border was captured, they shouldn’t rush to expose themselves."
"Moreover, if I’m not mistaken, the Southern Border Witch Doctor possesses other poisons."
"And this man, why did he commit suicide after giving his confession?"
"Yes, I know." Chu Heng’s face showed no surprise, obviously prepared for this.
"I may trouble you later." Chu Heng said.
Lu Sangqi, seeing Chu Heng initiate the conversation, felt sowhat proud: "I’m doing it for my sister; surely, I’ll help."
"Thank you."
Chu Heng did not argue with him.
Right after Chu Heng finished dealing with the matter.
Suddenly heard commotion outside the clinic.
A group of bailiffs and the aggrieved party ca knocking, a woman claiming to be the man’s wife lay at the clinic door, crying and shouting, accusing Chu Heng of privately torturing, demanding the return of her husband.
The bailiffs cooperated at the door, not stopping the spread of public opinion, and soon enough a crowd of onlookers gathered at the entrance.
The public always sympathizes with the weak; the woman lay on the ground with a young boy, crying.
