Jia Ren was taken aback for a moment before speaking, "This humble official did not personally witness your father poisoning Miss Wei, but Miss Wei was perfectly fine this morning. She suddenly fainted when she went to deliver food to your father."
Your father tricked the jailer into releasing Miss Wei under the pretext of treating her. On the way to treat Miss Wei, he knocked the jailer unconscious and ran away from the county government office.
As for the matter between Miss Wei and your father, I'm not making this up; I'm sure the gentlemen of Jinzhou City have heard about it as well.
Indeed, the affair between Su Xing and Wei Huan was the talk of the town in Jinzhou City, and most of the young men present had heard about it.
After all, Wei Huan is only twenty years old. Following Su Xing, who is over forty, around all day, it's hard for her not to be talked about.
As for Wei Huan's intentions, everyone was well aware of them.
Isn't her only thought about marrying Su Xing and then taking the opportunity to become the next head of the Su family?
Even if Wei Huan's intentions were impure, Su Xing's act of poisoning him was still going too far.
No matter what, you can't take someone's life, especially such a beautiful young woman.
Jia Ren did not ask the others about this matter, but continued to Su Muxi: "As for whether Miss Wei is poisoned or has contracted the plague, we will have to examine her to find out."
Unexpectedly, Su Muxi said, "From Magistrate Jia's words, he has already concluded that Miss Wei was poisoned, and that it was my father who poisoned her. If I, the Princess Consort, were to find out other results, Magistrate Jia would inevitably say that I, the Princess Consort, am deliberately protecting her and that my words are false."
Therefore, not only can I not treat Miss Wei, but I must also avoid suspicion.
Magistrate Jia should find another doctor to treat Miss Wei!
As she spoke, Su Muxi took a few steps back, making it clear that she wouldn't care about Wei Huan's life or death.
Wei Huan is a member of the Wei family. If something happens to him in Fukang County, Jia Ren will have no way to explain it to the Wei family.
He quickly changed his attitude, bowed and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Su Muxi, "I was rash just now, please calm down, Your Highness. After all, this is a human life. Your Highness's medical skills are superb, I beg Your Highness to save Miss Wei!"
Su Muxi remained unmoved, but she did relent.
"How about this, let other doctors examine Miss Wei first. If they can't treat her, then I, the Princess Consort, will consider examining her."
Upon hearing this, Tao Rong quickly said, "Your Highness, I happen to have brought a doctor with me. Let him examine Miss Wei."
After saying that, he gave a wink to a middle-aged man next to him.
The man stepped forward and, before Jia Ren could speak, began to take Wei Huan's pulse.
Taking advantage of this moment, Tao Rong said with a sigh, "Speaking of which, this Miss Wei has some connection with my Tao family. Originally, Miss Wei was going to marry my cousin, but before the wedding, my cousin fell seriously ill and passed away. Otherwise, I would be calling Miss Wei my cousin's wife by now."
Of course, if my cousin were still alive, Miss Wei wouldn't be here, much less personally deliver meals to Mr. Su in the Fukang County jail.
Tao Rong's overtures were so obvious that Su Muxi could hardly miss them.
However, Su Muxi could also tell that Tao Rong's repeated attempts to befriend her were not because of her beauty, but rather for other reasons.
After a moment of contemplation, Su Muxi felt that Tao Rong must have noticed something was wrong and wanted to take the opportunity to curry favor with the Su family, bring down the Wei family, and then get a share of the spoils.
Since that's the case, it's not impossible for her to take a share of the Tao family's business, after all, she has never had any designs on the Wei family's business.
"Young Master Tao, there's no need to feel sorry. Perhaps the Tao family and the Wei family have more to do than this, and they might even become closer in the future!"
Su Muxi's sudden remark left many people scratching their heads.
Tao Rong only paused for a moment before understanding the meaning behind Su Muxi's words.
He was immediately overjoyed and excited.
Princess Yong'an was indeed exceptionally intelligent; she actually saw through his scheme.
The fact that Princess Yong'an looked so confident shows that she was not unprepared when she entered Fukang County!
Just then, the doctor who was examining Wei Huan spoke up, "Miss Wei has contracted the plague, but it's nothing serious. The reason she fainted is probably because she was in too much pain before, and Mr. Su couldn't bear to see her suffer, so he gave her acupuncture. Now Miss Wei is just asleep, not unconscious."
However, no sooner had the doctor finished speaking than Jia Ren hurriedly denied it, saying, "Impossible!"
Su Muxi raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Why is it impossible? Why is Magistrate Jia so certain that Miss Wei could not have contracted the plague?"
After all, before I arrived, the people in the city should not have known that there was a problem with the water in the water vat, otherwise Magistrate Jia would never have allowed the people to continue drinking the problematic water and make their illnesses worse, wouldn't you say?
Perhaps Miss Wei, unaware of the contaminated water, contracted the plague.
Jia Ren could not possibly say that Wei Huan knew the truth about this "plague".
He could only take a deep breath and mutter to himself, "Maybe."
The doctor who treated Wei Huan felt that Jia Ren had questioned his medical skills, so he used a few needles to wake Wei Huan up.
"Look, Miss Wei is awake! She's contracted the plague!"
The doctor said smugly, and as he turned his head, he happened to meet Su Muxi's gaze.
Seeing Su Muxi smile and nod at him, he felt both proud and excited.
Although he didn't want to admit that Su Muxi's medical skills were superior to his, that was the truth.
At first, when he saw the prescription written by Su Muxi, he thought it was absurd. How could a prescription for detoxification cure the plague?!
But when they arrived in Fukang County and saw that the symptoms of the people who had contracted the epidemic had been relieved after drinking the medicine prescribed by Su Muxi, they finally understood Su Muxi's medical skills.
No wonder the Emperor sent a woman to manage the plague; Su Muxi's medical skills are truly superb!
Moreover, Su Muxi is not only highly skilled in medicine, but also a clever person with cunning and resourcefulness.
If it were someone else along the way, they would probably have fallen apart long ago!
How could he not be excited that someone as capable as Su Muxi could nod at him!
Wei Huan slowly woke up. Before she could figure out what was happening, she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. As soon as she covered her stomach, she started vomiting again.
Having finally stopped vomiting, and after seeing the situation clearly, I was about to speak when a crisp fart beat me to it.
Although the air around them was filled with an unpleasant odor, the stench emanating from Wei Huan was even more pungent.
Wei Huan froze on the spot, completely forgetting the pain in her abdomen.
She actually pooped in front of so many people?!
