Gu En looked at Gu Xin holding Zheng Qiu's arm in horror, at such close range: "...Third Sister, you're doing this..."
"Shut up!" Gu Xin interrupted Gu En, released Zheng Qiu, and looked at Yun Zhu, saying, "They're all right. Although intentional homicide is punishable by beheading, there's another rule in the Great Zhou law: if there are two or more perpetrators in the same case, and one of them can provide crucial clues, the execution can be postponed. So, Yun Zhu, is there anything else you know that you haven't mentioned?"
Zheng Qiu breathed a sigh of relief. Wasn't she just trying to get information out of him?
Gu En was taken aback, but then realized what she meant. She pursed her lips a little embarrassed. Yes, when you don't understand something, you should talk less, observe more, and ask more questions!
Yun Zhu lowered her head, refusing to look at Gu Xin.
Gu Xin turned to look at Zheng Qiu, who shrugged, and then the two of them looked at Gu En together.
Gu En: "...He'll definitely talk about it in a bit."
The two of them rolled their eyes at him.
Gu En was surprised to find that this young coroner was acting effeminate. She hadn't noticed it before, but he especially liked it when he rolled his eyes with her third sister.
Gu Xin decided not to ask any more questions, sat down on the bench, and waited for the man in white to bring the person over.
"Xiao Qiu, sit down too! Standing is tiring. Come and tell me about Young Master Qi's autopsy!" Gu Xin said, glancing at Yun Zhu out of the corner of her eye. Sure enough, Yun Zhu looked up again, subconsciously, and then immediately looked down.
Zheng Qiu sat down, and Gu En also planned to sit down, intending to sit between the two of them. However, as soon as Gu Xin put her feet down, Gu En had no seat left.
Gu En: "..."
He felt very wronged. Wasn't he doing this for his third sister's sake and for the good of this young coroner?
If Brother Yuan finds out how close they are, the coroner is in big trouble.
There were only long benches and small stools in the woodshed. Gu En moved a small stool and sat down next to Gu Xin, always keeping an eye on the distance between them.
Zheng Qiu found it both funny and infuriating. Even the young master Lu hadn't said anything, but this brother-in-law was really making a fuss!
Zheng Qiu began to describe Qi Moyu's death, exaggerating it as much as possible.
Gu Xin had seen Qi Moyu's death, but at this moment she was very cooperative with Zheng Qiu, looking regretful and terrified.
Yun Zhu tried to speak several times, but Zheng Qiu didn't give him the chance.
"Really? Did Young Master really suffer such a great deal?" After finally waiting for Zheng Qiu to finish speaking, Yun Zhu's eyes were red and tears were streaming down her face as she asked impatiently.
“It’s even worse than I made it out to be. I was just worried about scaring Princess Xinxin,” Zheng Qiu said.
"Really? Thank you so much, Xiao Qiu. You're so kind to me," Gu Xin said gratefully.
Gu En felt goosebumps all over his body. Good heavens, even his third sister had never acted like this in front of Brother Yuan!
Are you still afraid of how you die?
His third sister was the one who wiped out Yunhai in the West. What kind of death hadn't she seen?
However, he now understands their intentions.
It's just that Yun Zhu didn't tell the whole story.
"My young master has an admirer, a man." Yun Zhu wanted to wipe her tears, but her hands were tied, so she couldn't.
"Who?" Gu Xin asked immediately.
“I don’t know,” Yun Zhu shook her head and said, “but I once saw the letter that person gave to you, young master, and the token. I was angry, but you were angry because that person ignored me for the first time.”
