Chapter 295: Couple's Night Talk (Part 1)



Jing Shengming and Weiwu Hou were secretly surprised to see that Jing Yi's mental state was indeed better than before. He looked so young, but he had such great medical skills.

Looking at the backs of the group of people going away, Weiwu Hou suddenly said: "Father, do you think she looks familiar?"

Jing Shengming thought thoughtfully: "Maybe he looks like Qin Canglan?"

While waiting outside, Marquis Weiwu also learned Su Xiaoxiao's identity from his father.

Weiwu Hou wondered: "But Qin Canglan is not that good-looking..."

"Why are you staring at a little girl to see if she's pretty or not?"

"Father, you misunderstood. I didn't mean anything else."

It is really unfair to Marquis Weiwu.

Thinking of something, Marquis Weiwu asked again: "She grew up among the common people. How did she learn the medical skills?"

Jing Shengming said: "I heard that she took a doctor in the town as her teacher."

Weiwu Hou asked, "Is the doctor in town good at medicine? Why did he take a country girl as his apprentice? Father, don't you think that girl is a little weird?"

Jing Shengming looked at the figure disappearing into the night without saying a word. -After leaving the Jing family, Xiao Chonghua's driver drove the carriage over.

Xiao Chonghua glanced at the two of them, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

He put one foot on the footstool, suddenly turned around and said to Wei Ting: "Thank you for last night."

After saying this, he got into the carriage.

The carriage left.

Su Xiaoxiao asked curiously, "Why should he thank you?"

When the assassination attempt happened last night, Su Xiaoxiao had already gone down to rescue Su Ergou, and was not aware that Wei Ting had saved Xiao Chonghua's life.

Wei Ting told the story of the assassination.

"So that's it." Su Xiaoxiao suddenly realized.

"But," Su Xiaoxiao asked again, "was the assassination an accident?"

Wei Ting pondered and said, "Maybe it just so happens that Xiao Chonghua and I appear together. This is a rare opportunity. If we don't take action now, I'm afraid there will be no next time."

As they were talking, the two of them got on the carriage. Wei Ting opened the curtain and placed one hand on the door frame.

The top of her head brushed lightly against his palm.

When she sat down, he lowered the curtain and sat next to her.

Fusu drove the carriage towards the clinic.

"You are allowed to treat Jing Yi's injuries." Wei Ting said seriously.

Su Xiaoxiao groaned and looked at him with raised eyebrows: "Are you so kind all of a sudden? Aren't you afraid that I'll attract a lot of attention outside?"

Wei Ting said nonchalantly: "Oh, a kid whose hair hasn't even grown out yet!"

Su Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes: "Did you hear what he just said to me?"

Wei Ting said calmly: "I don't have the habit of eavesdropping."

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Yes, you are not eavesdropping, you are listening openly, who told you to have good hearing, right?"

Wei Ting looked serious and said nothing.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at him with amusement.

Wei Ting decisively changed the subject: "The poisoning of Zhenbei Hou has nothing to do with the Wei family. It was someone else."

Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin and said, "Oh, the two families have such a deep hatred, how could your Wei family resist doing it?"

Wei Ting naturally couldn't say that he had wanted to take action but failed.

He coughed lightly and said seriously, "Our Wei family is upright and honest, so we naturally disdain to do such a thing."

Su Xiaoxiao blinked: "Oh."

Wei Ting looked at her coldly: "What's with that expression?"

"Nothing!" Su Xiaoxiao smiled. "By the way, you just said that when you were planning to leave a few people alive last night, the eldest prince led the imperial guards and arrived, and killed those people."

Back to the point, Wei Ting's expression straightened up: "That's right."

Su Xiaoxiao said: "From this point of view, isn't the eldest prince a big suspect?"

Wei Ting nodded.

Su Xiaoxiao asked again: "Who does he want to kill? You and the Third Prince, or just one of you?"

Wei Ting paused and expressed his speculation: "It would be best to kill both of them at the same time. If only one can be killed, then kill Xiao Chonghua and then put the blame on the Wei family."

Su Xiaoxiao pondered, "Killing Xiao Chonghua and putting the blame on the Wei family... can not only absolve myself of the crime, but also remove a stumbling block on the road to succession. Most importantly, it gives the emperor a reason to deal with the Wei family."

Su Xiaoxiao stroked her double chin, "This eldest prince has calculated his father's mind very accurately."

It may even leave a very disgraceful mark in history books.

If Emperor Jingxuan wants to go down in history, he cannot be reckless.

What could be more discrediting to the Wei family than assassinating the prince?

Wei Ting said: "There is another survivor, an archer in the woods, let him escape for now."

Su Xiaoxiao asked, "Is he also the eldest prince's man?"

Wei Ting frowned slightly: "It's hard to say."

Su Xiaoxiao was puzzled: "What does it mean that it's hard to say?"

Wei Ting told the news he got from Old Lady Wei: "The token that fell from that person belonged to a martial arts sect that has long disappeared. My grandfather personally led the troops to eradicate it."

Su Xiaoxiao hummed: "Does the imperial court also care about the affairs of the martial arts world?"

Wei Ting said: "Normally I don't ask about it, but that Jianghu sect was so blind that they kidnapped the imperial envoy sent by the court to provide disaster relief, and also robbed the relief money."

"Oh, they are asking for their own death." Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, "If the eldest prince colludes with them, wouldn't that be a violation of the emperor's taboo?"

"That's right." Wei Ting tapped the table twice with his fingertips. "Once we catch the assassin, there will be something interesting to watch."

Su Xiaoxiao only knew two princes, the third prince Xiao Chonghua and the eldest prince Xiao Duye. Judging from the current situation, neither of them was simple.

Wei Ting's eyes were deep as he said, "The emperor has not appointed a crown prince until now, just to prevent his son from killing his brother like he did in the past. It's a pity that the throne was forged with blood, and no one can sit on it cleanly."

Su Xiaoxiao agreed with this deeply.

Thinking of something, Su Xiaoxiao asked again: "Do you think...the bodies under the attic are related to the eldest prince?"

Anyway, she didn't believe that the eldest prince just happened to pass by nearby.

Wei Ting hesitated for a moment and said, "The case is still in the preliminary investigation stage. Currently, there is no definite evidence to prove that it is related to the eldest prince."

If there was, it would be too horrific. With so many corpses, I don’t know what kind of horrific murder it was.

Su Xiaoxiao asked, "What did you see down there?"

Wei Ting recalled: "Skeleton... countless skeletons... some sitting or lying... some curled up... some lying prone... in all kinds of postures."

Su Xiaoxiao said, "It sounds like they lived in the cellar before, not just died and were carried in there."

Wei Ting stared and said, "I had the same feeling when I first saw it."

Su Xiaoxiao sniffed.

"What's wrong?" Wei Ting looked at her strangely.

Su Xiaoxiao came over, grabbed his collar and sniffed him, then lifted the car curtain and sniffed outside.

"Wei Ting, do you smell it?"

Wei Ting asked curiously, "What do you smell?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "The aroma, the aroma of the cellar."

Wei Ting frowned: "Is there a fragrance in the cellar?"

He only smelled the stench and smell of decaying corpses.

"Stop the car!" Su Xiaoxiao said seriously.

Fusu hurriedly stopped the carriage.

Su Xiaoxiao lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage.

Wei Ting hurried to catch up.

Su Xiaoxiao's steps were much faster than when she was in the countryside, and her movements became particularly agile. She entered a study.

The owner of the study asked her whether she wanted to buy books or calligraphy, and she quickly went out through the back door.

The boss was confused.

Finally another person came.

The boss's eyes lit up: "This gentleman..."

Wei Ting also left.

Su Xiaoxiao chased him into an empty alley, frowning: "I lost him."

Wei Ting looked up and said, "I didn't lose him."

Su Xiaoxiao: "Hmm?"

Wei Ting used his Qinggong skills to jump onto the roof, caught a sneaky figure, and threw him down without any mercy!
