In her previous life, Shen Qiyin endured extreme torture to beg the eunuch Qin Li to save her imprisoned father. After being tortured into a cripple, her family abandoned her to fend for herself on...
The visitor was Qian Chuan again.
He was talking to his colleagues just two days ago that the Shen family had been much quieter lately, but he never expected that something would happen today.
I can't help but praise it.
After entering the room, Qian Chuan glanced at Shen Qiyin and saw that her face was calm, not like someone who had just lost a loved one. This was completely different from Shen Mengyin, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying.
Shen Cang, on the other hand, who hadn't shown any emotion just moments before, suddenly burst into tears upon seeing someone arrive, sobbing uncontrollably by the bedside.
"My goodness, how could you just leave like that?"
"Your son hasn't even had a chance to give you a good life yet."
"You unfilial son!"
As he cried, he even started singing: "My mother, you are like a silkworm, diligent and frugal all your life."
"I have suffered a lot for my children and grandchildren to accumulate this meager family fortune."
"We only thought you would live a long and happy life, but who knew you would leave this world so early..."
"Mother!"
Shen Cang wept bitterly, his heart breaking.
Xianglan laughed so hard her shoulders shook in the corner.
Hahahaha... It even rhymes!
"I could hear you wailing from a mile away, it's so annoying!" Li Zhenzhu's voice arrived before she did.
In front of Qian Chuan and the coroner, Shen Cang angrily rebuked Li Zhenzhu with a cunning look, "I've tolerated your usual rudeness and arrogance, but now that my mother is gone, if you dare to throw a tantrum again without reason, don't blame me for being impolite!"
He put a lot of thought into those words.
Not only did he maintain his dignity as a man in public, but he also exposed Li Zhenzhu's fierce and arrogant nature.
As soon as she finished speaking, the man who had been so arrogant just moments before knelt down by the bed, wailing even louder than before.
"Oh dear, my poor mother-in-law, how could you have passed away so suddenly?"
"It's all the master's fault for thinking about having a son all day long. He forced me to drink those tonics like they were food, which made me sickly. Otherwise, I would have taken care of you myself, and there would have been no need for anyone else to do it."
"The fourth young lady is still young, how could she possibly know how to serve others?"
As she spoke, she suddenly lifted the blanket covering Old Madam Shen, showing Qian Chuan and the others her back, which was covered in bedsores.
Shen Cang was taken aback, then glared fiercely at Shen Mengyin.
The latter was very upset and wanted to explain, but Li Zhenzhu didn't give her the chance and continued, "I may have a bad temper and be outspoken, but I would never mistreat the old lady."
Qian Chuan and the coroner exchanged a glance and said, "Please accept our condolences and let us examine you first."
The most important thing right now is to determine the cause of the old lady's death.
At first, the coroner did not find anything wrong, until he examined Madam Shen's mouth and found some medicine residue in her mouth with a strange smell.
He stuffed a handkerchief into her mouth, took some of the medicine, and examined it closely. He discovered that it was poison!
Strangely, apart from this spot, Madam Shen did not show any other signs of poisoning in other parts of her body.
It's more like...
The poison was only poured into the mouth after the person died.
But this was just his experience from years of performing autopsies. To convince this family, he would probably have to disembowel the old woman.
It's obvious they would never agree!
really.
As soon as the coroner tentatively suggested it, Shen Mengyin immediately refused, saying, "How can that be!"
"Grandmother already died under mysterious circumstances. If we were to further mutilate her body, how would Father face her in the afterlife?"
The coroner lowered his head slightly and remained silent.
He's just a lousy coroner, don't treat him like a god.
They didn't believe it when I suggested that he might have been poisoned after death.
When I tried to cut open my stomach to prove it to them, they refused.
So much trouble!
Undeterred, Shen Cang asked, "Isn't there any other way?"
The coroner thought to himself, "If I had another way, would I be hiding it from him? It's like he'd rather turn his mother's intestines upside down!"
But he said, "This is the only way."
At this moment, Shen Mengyin suddenly exclaimed "Eh!" as if she had suddenly remembered something, and said, "If there is poison in Grandmother's mouth, where did the poison come from?"
"If we can find the source, won't we then know who poisoned my grandmother?"
Qian Chuan cautiously replied, "That depends on the specific circumstances of where the poison originated."
If the medicine packaging paper clearly states the pharmacy, and they verify the information to confirm the person who bought the medicine, then the evidence is considered conclusive.
But if the medicine were buried randomly in some snowdrift, even if they consulted the gods, they would probably have a hard time identifying the culprit.
Shen Qiyin looked at Shen Mengyin and suddenly asked her, "You serve your grandmother all day long, did you poison her?"
"Of course not!" Shen Mengyin looked extremely aggrieved: "How could Second Sister think of me like that?"
“My grandmother has never treated me as well as she has my two older brothers. Although I sometimes feel jealous, I would never do anything to retaliate against my own grandmother like this!”
"My second sister and I are both women, and I thought you would understand what I was thinking."
"Could it be that my second sister harbored resentment towards our grandmother because of this? And wanted to take revenge on her?"
Shen Mengyin thought her words would put Shen Qiyin in a difficult position, but to her surprise, the latter did not play by the rules at all. Not only did she not deny it, but she even nodded quite frankly: "I have thought about it."
"You..." Shen Mengyin thought she was hallucinating: "What did you say?!"
"I hate her."
"But she is our grandmother!"
"What are you yelling about? I didn't say she was my grandfather." Shen Qiyin said unhurriedly, "I don't resent being treated coldly by her because I am a girl, but she beats and scolds me at every turn, and coerces and uses me everywhere. Ordinary people have seven emotions and six desires, and it is difficult to be as magnanimous as a saint."
