Jing Yuchen curled his lips and smiled: "There are so many women and children who have died at the hands of a midwife. Why should I feel guilty towards someone who didn't call a midwife in time?"
Jing Yuchen rubbed Ni Yueshan's hair, and Ni Yueshan felt that what Jing Yuchen said seemed to make some sense.
"Let's burn some incense first. When Qingdie comes back, maybe we'll understand everything!"
Ni Yueshan nodded and let Jing Yuchen drag her to the grave.
It was already evening when the two returned. Qingdie returned home early. When she saw Ni Yueshan and Jing Yuchen, she immediately stepped forward to report, "Prince, Princess, I followed that old woman and didn't find anything unusual. She lives in an alley. Most of the people who live there are from the lower classes. Many people call her Aunt Shen."
"So she's a midwife?"
"I heard someone talking to her and saying hello, asking if she was delivering another baby. Logically, yes!"
Ni Yueshan was silent. Jing Yuchen pondered for a moment, then said, "If you're still upset, then don't get involved in this matter. This prince will do his best to find out the truth for you. If there really is something hidden, and Miss Lin was murdered, I'll hand you a knife. If you hurt anyone, I'll bear the consequences!"
Jing Yuchen's promise sounded heartwarming, but Ni Yueshan found it hard to be happy. She sighed, "Maybe I already know who the murderer is. Who can be threatened by her child?"
Ni Yueshan's vision was far-reaching, and he had already thought of a possibility in his mind.
Jing Yuchen stood aside and said, "Okay, calm down first, and leave the rest to this prince!"
He put his hand on Ni Yueshan's shoulder and took Ni Yueshan to dinner.
After nightfall, incense was lit in the room, which made Ni Yueshan sleep more soundly. Jing Yuchen got up, changed into night clothes, and hurried out.
Since you think there is something wrong with this midwife, then go find her directly. I believe that there will be new clues and progress soon. Jing Yuchen lives in an alley. Most of the buildings around are thatched and adobe houses. After nightfall, in order to save money on oil lamps, many families have extinguished their candles and gone to bed early.
The surroundings were very quiet, with only the rustling sound of his footsteps on the road. When he arrived outside Aunt Shen's courtyard, Jing Yuchen narrowed his eyes, flew up, and then landed in the courtyard. He wanted to climb in directly through the window, but he heard a conversation coming from inside the house.
"Mother, are you going to deliver the Qi family's baby tomorrow? The Qi family's wife is so fat, the child will definitely be very big. Delivering a baby is risky. You delivered a baby for the Lin family's daughter before and someone died. Do the Ni family have good intentions in introducing you this time?"
After hearing what her daughter-in-law said, Aunt Shen sighed and said, "What's the point of being kind or not? The young lady and the child from the Lin family died, but they didn't punish me. I have money to earn, and the Ni family is there to protect me. I'm not afraid!"
After hearing the conversation between the two, Jing Yuchen gave up the idea of forcing a confession.
On the second day, Ni Yueshan thought she would hear news about the investigation, but unexpectedly, the servant brought Aunt Shen to her?
Aunt Shen knelt on the ground, shaking and wiping away tears. Jing Yuchen sat beside her, a look of impatience on his face: "Have you calmed down yet? You accepted ill-gotten gains, shouldn't you have expected that one day you would be silenced?"
Ni Yueshan looked at Jing Yuchen with some confusion, as if she had missed something.
Jing Yuchen looked at Qingdie, who explained, "Today, Aunt Shen went to the Qi family to deliver a baby. However, during the delivery, the pregnant woman had unbearable abdominal pain and the baby couldn't be delivered. In the end... in the end, they had to hire another midwife, who successfully delivered the baby."
"But the wife of the Qi family was in so much pain before that she didn't do Aunt Shen any favors. Instead, she wanted to beat her to death with sticks, causing her so much pain for so long."
"What does this have to do with killing people to silence them?" Ni Yueshan was a little confused.
"Because this job for the Qi family was arranged by Young Master Ni!"
Qingdie understood immediately after hearing this explanation. So Ni Hongbo did not use the usual method to silence the witness. Instead, he used the Qi family's people to execute Aunt Shen for a legitimate reason.
But why kill to silence the witness? It seems that there are indeed suspicious circumstances in Lin Pin'er's death.
Ni Yueshan narrowed her eyes and looked at Aunt Shen with a sharp look in her eyes: "Tell me, is there any hidden story behind Lin Pin'er's death? Did you accept any benefits from Ni Hongbo?"
Aunt Shen was still crying silently, as if she was immersed in her fear. Ni Yueshan became a little impatient.
She roared, "I'm asking you a question! Why are you crying?"
Aunt Shen was frightened by Ni Yueshan's roar. She looked at Ni Yueshan with a dazed look in her eyes, then lowered her head and said hesitantly: "I, I... I did take the money, I, I also..."
Seeing her hesitant and unable to continue, Ni Yueshan felt annoyed: "I'm telling you, if you don't hear something useful from me today, don't even think about leaving here safely!"
When she was at the Qi family, Aunt Shen thought she was going to be beaten to death with sticks. Jing Yuchen's men appeared in time and rescued her. She thought she was going to escape, but she didn't expect that Ni Yueshan was also here to threaten her.
She sobbed and began to cry again.
"I, I, I admit it. I know lying is useless. I really did accept the money from the wicked and deliberately made it difficult for Miss Lin to give birth to a child!"
As she spoke, she lowered her head in shame. She burned paper and incense in front of the grave simply because she was the one who indirectly killed Lin Pin'er. She felt uneasy, guilty, sad, and wanted to repent!
Ni Yueshan was obviously furious. He kicked her. Aunt Shen fell to the ground, her hand scraping against the ground. She winced in pain, then continued to kneel on the ground, begging for mercy: "I, I know I was wrong, but please, forgive me. I can prove that it was the young master of the Ni family who ordered me to do it!"
