Lord Liu said some polite words and expressed his gratitude. Seeing that Gu Xin really didn't need him, he took his leave and went home.
After Lord Liu left, Gu Xin whispered to Zheng Qiu, "My father said that Lord Liu is very clever, but to me he seems quite ordinary."
Zheng Qiu smiled and said, "Third Miss, don't you feel very comfortable and satisfied being with Lord Liu?"
Gu Xin nodded: "Yes! He seems very ordinary!"
Zheng Qiu said, "Then the Third Miss must have encountered officials of the same rank as Lord Liu. Think about it, when you were with those officials, did you feel the same way as when you were talking to Lord Liu?"
Gu Xin was taken aback. Thinking about what Zheng Qiu said, hey, that's completely different!
When officials of the same rank as Lord Liu encountered her and learned of her identity, they completely prioritized her, as if afraid of displeasing her in any way, which made people feel quite uncomfortable.
However, some officials in the capital who held higher ranks than Lord Liu either thought she was a child or a reckless warrior who only knew how to fight, or they felt that because of her status, she should be given priority.
As for Lord Liu, if you talk to him, it doesn't take long before you feel like you're not even in a position of authority, and it feels like you're just chatting with an ordinary friend.
Seeing that Gu Xin seemed to have realized something, Zheng Qiu smiled and said, "Lord Liu is known for his excellent interpersonal skills. He treats everyone this way; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to serve as the Prefect of the Capital. I've heard people talk about him. When Princess Jinghe got into a fight with a princess or heir from another royal family, they would send her to the Prefectural Government, and Lord Liu would manage to handle the situation without offending either side. That's why Lord Liu has been serving as the Prefect of the Capital for so long!"
Gu Xin was genuinely surprised: "Really? My sister Zhen has such a fiery temper, she can actually listen to Lord Liu?"
Zheng Qiu smiled and shook his head: "It's not that Princess Jinghe listens to Lord Liu, but rather that she is quite satisfied with how Lord Liu handles things. Of course, these are all minor incidents. If things escalate into something big, Lord Liu will naturally push the matter to his superiors. He has his own sense of right and wrong and knows what is within his capabilities."
Gu Xin gave Zheng Qiu a thumbs up: "Xiao Qiu, you're amazing. You must come visit me after this case is over! I feel like it's such a waste of your talent to be a coroner."
Zheng Qiu waved her hand: "I can be a guest, but I don't deserve the princess's final praise. Being a coroner is something I love and have wanted to do since I was a child. I want to seek justice for more people and let the victims get back what is rightfully theirs. As for anything else, I really haven't thought about it."
Gu Xin looked around and, seeing no one, beckoned Zheng Qiu closer with her finger.
Zheng Qiu approached Gu Xin with some confusion.
Gu Xin leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Do you want to find out the cause of your mother's death? Do you want to bring the people who harmed your mother to justice?"
Zheng Qiu froze, looking at Gu Xin in horror.
How did she know?
Even Lord Qin was unaware of this matter.
Zheng Qiu thought that Gu Xin only knew she was a woman, but she never expected...
Back when Lord Qin wanted to bring her to the capital, she only said that she might cause trouble in the home of a powerful figure in the capital, and Lord Qin did not press her for details.
How could Princess Xin Xin, whom she had never met, know so much? And even know what she wanted to do?
