Fan Meiniang felt aggrieved and wanted to cry. She opened her mouth to say that Gu Yunran was a prisoner and why should she be given a seat. That seat should be hers.
However, when she saw Mu Qianchen's sinister phoenix eyes, she could only swallow her words.
Lu Qingzhou reached out and held her hand, whispering soothingly: "Don't worry."
"Don't talk in the hall." Qianli said coldly.
Fan Meiniang held Lu Qingzhou's hand tightly and nodded.
"Master Mu, my son was murdered. Can the case be settled today?" Fan Meiniang mustered up the courage to look at Mu Qianchen and asked.
Mu Qianchen didn't answer her, but said to Qianli: "You can bring it up."
Qianli nodded: "Bring it up."
As soon as Qianli finished speaking, two guards came with two maids. One was Madam Zhao who had been serving Lu Changzhi, and the other was Lianhua, the maid that Madam Lu ordered to serve Fan Meiniang in the side room.
Fan Meiniang was confused, and Lu Qingzhou was also confused.
Even Gu Yunran was a little confused about what Mu Qianchen was trying to do.
Lu Qingzhou: "Master Mu, what is this?"
Mu Qianchen: "Of course I will try the case."
"My master is trying a case, why are you butting in?" Qianli scolded coldly.
Lu Qingzhou blushed, but didn't dare to refute. He pursed his lips, stopped talking, and secretly glanced at Gu Yunran.
She only saw Gu Yunran's pair of bright eyes, bright and charming, but he didn't look at her.
Mu Qianchen looked at Aunt Zhao and said, "Ms. Zhao, is Lu Changzhi your personal caregiver?"
Nanny Zhao knelt on the ground and kowtowed. She was so frightened that she trembled and dared not answer.
Mu Qianchen: "Tell the truth."
"Your Excellency, this old servant and Miss Fan are taking care of the child together. When it comes to feeding and medicine, we are together. The rest of the time, when the child is making a fuss, I take care of him more."
Mu Qianchen nodded and glanced at Fan Meiniang: "Is what Zhao said right?"
Fan Meiniang raised her eyes, glanced at Mu Qianchen, then quickly lowered her head: "Yes."
But, she wondered in her heart, why would this adult ask such irrelevant questions?
Mu Qianchen looked at Lianhua again: "Why did you go to the pharmacy three days before the child's accident?"
Lianhua shuddered with fear. How did Lord Mu know that she was going to the pharmacy?
"Slave girl, slave girl..."
Lianhua trembled, not knowing what to say. She looked at Fan Meiniang and said, "Miss Fan asked me to go."
Fan Mei Niang also said: "Yes, it was the common woman who asked her to go."
"What are you going to do if my master asks again?"
Fan Meiniang let out a long sigh and said, "I'll ask her to get some of Chang Zhi's medicine."
Wow!
Gu Yunran turned to look at Fan Meiniang, a look of disbelief flashing across his face.
Lu Qingzhou also looked at Fan Meiniang, "You..."
Fan Mei Niang cried with red eyes: "Zhi'er is too young, and the dosage prescribed by Doctor Mu is too large. I have learned some pharmacology from my parents since I was a child, so I took out a little bit of the particularly bitter herb. It's nothing."
Bang!
The quack doctor who was invited by Lu Qingzhou to test the medicinal residue also came. As soon as he walked to the door, he heard Fan Meiniang's words. He was so angry that he pounded the door frame.
He rushed to Fan Meiniang, pointed at her, and said angrily, "You, you, you... ignorant and stupid woman."
Fan Meiniang felt wronged and wanted to cry: "Sir, why do you say that to me?"
"I went back and thought about it, but I felt something was wrong. I took the prescription and the residue written by Doctor Mu and studied it again, and then I found the problem."
"So, it was you who did it."
"Which herb did you take out that can counteract the toxicity of the centipede? You..."
The doctor was so angry that he was speechless. He turned to look at Lu Qingzhou and returned the money he had received. "It is my incompetence that made a mistake in the examination. I feel guilty for accepting this money."
After saying that, he shook his head and left.
Fan Meiniang collapsed to the ground, her eyes glazed over. It took her a long while to come back to her senses. She looked timidly at Mu Qianchen, "Sir, what does this mean?"
Mu Qianchen didn't say anything. Qianli said in a cold voice: "After my master's investigation, Lu Changzhi was killed because of your ignorance. It has nothing to do with Miss Gu."
Zhuye let out a long sigh, but Gu Yunran remained calm and composed.
She believed in Mu Qianchen's ability and believed that he would be able to get to the bottom of the matter, but the result was indeed beyond her expectations.
She glanced at Fan Meiniang and then gently looked away.
I knew she was ambitious, but I didn't expect her to be such a fool.
How careless must I have been in my previous life to have lost to this stupid woman.
Fan Meiniang kept shaking her head, her face turned pale, and she looked at Lu Qingzhou pitifully. Lu Qingzhou turned his head away and no longer looked at her.
Instead, he looked at Gu Yunran.
It turned out that he had wronged her.
Gu Yunran never looked at Lu Qingzhou. After the verdict was announced, she left with Zhuye.
"Madam, the truth is finally out." Zhuye breathed a sigh of relief and praised, "Master Mu is truly amazing."
Gu Yunran nodded: "It's really amazing."
As they walked out of the Dali Temple, a carriage stopped in front of them. The person driving the carriage was Chen Mo.
"lady."
Chen Mo got off the carriage and saluted Gu Yunran.
Gu Yunran was surprised: "Why are you here?"
"I was busy in the shop when someone told me to come to the Dali Temple to pick up my wife. I didn't dare to delay any longer, so I found a truck and came here."
Gu Yunran nodded: "Let's go."
Chen Mo took a stool down from the carriage and put it on the ground. Zhuye helped Gu Yunran into the carriage. When Lu Qingzhou came out, Gu Yunran was gone.
