Wang stood up anxiously and said, "Who's being soft-hearted? I'm going to kill him, but your father's words kept telling me to take good care of Su Wenyuan, afraid that if something happens to her, rumors will spread outside."
"However, I still added some medicine to her food, thinking that as long as she became mentally impaired, she wouldn't be in your way anymore. I'll think of another way after some time."
Su Wenyuan's dullness was a direct result of her.
Later, when Wang saw that Su Wenyuan was really useless and there was no point in keeping her around, she stopped taking action against her.
Looking back now, I'm so regretful.
Su Lin'er swallowed her complaints with difficulty. Since Wang Shi was already like this, she shouldn't say anything more.
"Don't worry, Mother. You'll be able to come out once Father calms down," Su Lin'er comforted her.
...
Hua Ling carefully examined Su Wenyuan's pulse and questioned, "Did you drink all the medicine I brewed before?"
Su Wenyuan awkwardly turned her head away and said weakly, "I guess so."
"...Didn't drink it?" Even if Hua Ling was stupid, she should have figured it out by now.
Sheng Jingyu explained, "I only left two bowls; I didn't drink them all."
Su Wenyuan stared wide-eyed and asked, "How did you know?"
She always deliberately chose to pour the medicine when no one was around, except for Sheng Jingyu, who couldn't see her.
Hua Ling said irritably, "Now I know too. You still have too much of a temper. You get too agitated when you're angry. As for the poison you mentioned, it's been too long, so it can't be detected."
"And judging from your current appearance, you don't seem like a fool. You just have memory loss. There are too many drugs that could cause this, so it's impossible to rule them out."
Su Wenyuan smiled slightly and said, "Quack doctor."
Hua Ling rolled her eyes and said, "I think you're pretty much an idiot right now. Don't sleep, wait for me to brew you some medicine."
"Stop fussing, I'm fine, go back to sleep." Su Wenyuan got up, swaying slightly and almost falling to the ground.
Similar to last time, I felt weak and drowsy.
It's not that she has a bad temper, but rather that these are the emotions her body should have.
Given the involvement of deceased family members, any extreme reaction from her would be understandable.
Sheng Jingyu immediately helped her up, and Hua Ling frowned and said, "You should drink your medicine and wait."
Sheng Jingyu replied directly, "Thank you for your trouble."
Then he began to persuade Su Wenyuan.
"Hua Ling's medical skills are inherited from her family, so you can rest assured."
Su Wenyuan smiled and said, "I know. Calling him a quack was just a joke. It's too late, and he takes so long to brew the medicine. It would affect his rest. I don't need this bowl of medicine."
Hua Ling and Sheng Jingyu are friends, and Hua Ling has been taking care of Sheng Jingyu's health all these years.
Su Wenyuan felt really bad for troubling him too many times; she was content with knowing what was wrong with her body herself.
After the two sat down, Su Wenyuan realized that Sheng Jingyu's reaction was incredibly quick.
"You caught me as soon as I fell down?" Su Wenyuan questioned.
Sheng Jingyu remained calm and replied, "I could hear it and I could feel it. I also heard the two bowls of medicine you poured out, but the sound was different from the sound of you drinking them."
Su Wenyuan didn't delve into it; she had heard before that blind people often have better hearing.
"Then you go to sleep first, I'll go out and wait."
Sheng Jingyu was unable to sleep and asked her what she planned to do next.
Su Wenyuan said with a gloomy face, "Help me investigate Su Yuan and the Wang family, go back more than ten years."
Originally, she only suspected that Marquis Anle had not betrayed the country, but now she suspects that Yu Qingzhu's death is related to these two people.
No matter what it is, she has to find out the truth.
Sheng Jingyu noted it down and then asked, "Is there anything else you want to ask General Lu?"
"Judging from what you're saying, it seems like he won't live much longer."
Sheng Jingyu hesitated and said, "That's about right. I didn't want to tell you so soon, but seeing that you're in a bad mood, I wanted to tell you something good to cheer you up."
Su Wenyuan chuckled. Sheng Jingyu's way of coaxing people was truly peculiar—was he trying to kill someone as a sacrifice?
"But don't be too happy yet, the evidence and witnesses will still take some time to arrive in the capital."
The matter of embezzling funeral expenses is quite interesting; you wouldn't know unless you investigated it.
First, it was discovered that General Lu was also involved. Then, it was found that he had also embezzled military funds and had also manipulated the battle thirteen years ago.
Su Wenyuan exclaimed in surprise, "This charge of treason should be handed down to him! He embezzled military pay and supplies, which demoralized the soldiers and caused them to lose the battle. What does this have to do with my maternal grandfather?"
She had said long ago that Yasukawa could not be defeated by a few letters, unless it was destined to be defeated.
Sheng Jingyu nodded and said, "His request for funeral expenses this time is not just to get revenge on you from Lu Wanying. Some time ago, the families of fallen soldiers filed complaints with the local county government."
"This matter has caused quite a stir, and some people are even going to the capital to file a complaint. General Lu is afraid that the matter cannot be kept secret, so he took this opportunity to bring it up, and when he conducts a thorough investigation, he will push a scapegoat out to help cover up his own crimes."
With a scapegoat, no one will investigate anymore.
Su Wenyuan asked with some concern, "Are the evidence and witnesses you found reliable? Won't something go wrong?"
"I can't guarantee it. I was planning to tell you when I got to the capital," Sheng Jingyu said frankly.
After pondering for a long time, Su Wenyuan said, "It's alright, I'll pick you up after the morning court session tomorrow."
Prince Sheng Jingyu was very free; he didn't have to attend court every day. He often used physical discomfort as an excuse, and the emperor didn't mind.
“Okay,” Sheng Jingyu readily agreed.
It was already past midnight when Su Wenyuan finished taking her medicine that night.
Not only was I not sleepy, but my body was also getting increasingly hot, and I tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
She kept Sheng Jingyu awake, and he didn't dare ask her what was wrong; to be precise, he didn't even bother to look at her.
While Su Wenyuan was tumbling, she accidentally bumped into Sheng Jingyu's arm.
Now he became even more agitated, and the memories of that drunken night began to surface little by little...
Su Wenyuan dared not lie there any longer. She carefully got up, covered Sheng Jingyu with a blanket, put on her coat, and went out.
A cold wind blew in from outside, and the feeling of irritability disappeared most of it.
It's obvious why that bowl of medicine was the reason. Suddenly, I feel that the term "quack doctor" isn't an insult to Hua Ling.
But Hua Ling was still a little wronged. He thought that using stronger medicine would be more effective. Although there was a minor problem, it wasn't a big deal and his health was the most important thing.
Sheng Jingyu breathed a sigh of relief after she left the room.
When she swung her hand over, Sheng Jingyu could clearly feel the intense heat of her fingertips.
When Su Wenyuan was lost in her own thoughts, so was he.
Neither of them could sleep that night. Su Wenyuan stood outside for a long time before turning around and going to the side room, where she lay on the soft couch for half the night.
The next day, Su Wenyuan's expression was normal when facing Sheng Jingyu, but when she saw Hua Ling, she glared at him fiercely.
Sheng Jingyu pretended to know nothing and went to the morning court session.
