Soon, the imperial physician was summoned and took Xue Rong to the back hall for a physical examination.
Zheng Rouer was still kneeling on the ground, feeling the pain in her knees. She pouted in grievance, "Why am I so pitiful? My child was killed, and I'm being blamed!"
As he spoke, he snorted and looked at Kang Xueyi: "Sir, no matter what I say, I am a victim. Can you let me get up and rest for a while?"
She cast her charming eyes in Kang Xueyi's direction, and with her charming face, she looked extremely seductive.
Kang Xueyi felt his whole body shaking, and he shuddered. "Ahem, there's no new progress in the case, so how can you say you're a victim? Just keep kneeling!"
Zheng Rouer snorted in grievance and said nothing more. Ni Yueshan curled her lips lightly and said to Mrs. Guo, "Mom, are you thirsty? I'll have someone bring you some tea. Can you quench your thirst?"
Mrs. Guo smiled and responded, "I'm not thirsty!"
Ni Yueshan ordered Qingluan: "Hurry up and bring some fruit and tea!"
"yes!"
Qingluan retreated, and Ni Yueshan looked at Qingfeng again: "My mother is pregnant and she is not feeling well after sitting for a long time. Can you give her a leg massage?"
Qingfeng walked obediently to Mrs. Guo's side. Mrs. Guo did not resist, but Zheng Rouer felt surprised and very unhappy!
Why? Not only did she become a royal, she was pregnant!
She snorted, and her whole face was very gloomy.
The soldiers returned with a woman and an account book. The middle-aged woman knelt down and saluted: "I, the humble Dou, greet you, Your Excellency!"
"Dou, do you know the person next to you?"
Dou Qionghua looked at Zheng Rouer lying on the ground. Her eyes flickered, and she immediately responded with a smile, "I know her, I know her! I wonder what's going on, sir?"
The officers and soldiers had placed the booklet in front of Kang Xueyi. Kang Xueyi glanced at it indifferently. It clearly recorded what a woman had earned for her on a certain day.
He raised his eyes to look at Dou Qionghua. "Dou, think carefully about when Zheng Rou'er met Master Xue. When did Master Xue and she have a casual relationship, but he refused to drink the contraceptive soup? Was it that time?"
Dou Qionghua thought this was nothing, but when Mrs. Guo heard it, she felt extremely embarrassed. She turned her eyes away and tried many times to persuade Xue Rong not to go to that kind of place again, but how could he listen?
Dou Qionghua seemed to be in a dilemma: "This, this happened so long ago, how can I recall it! I have so many girls... so many customers..."
She was so confused she didn't know how to recall. Zheng Rouer knew she couldn't hide it anymore, so she took the initiative to speak: "We met last spring! Ever since I met Master Xue, I haven't accepted any other guests. If the child isn't Master's, then whose is it?"
She lowered her head, looking conflicted. "How can I bring this kind of sexual intercourse between husband and wife to court? It's so embarrassing!"
Ni Yueshan noticed her unhappy and annoyed look and snorted. "You said you haven't had any contact with other guests since you met Mr. Xue? I don't believe your words alone."
Ni Yueshan set his eyes on Dou Qionghua and said, "Dou, you'd better tell the truth. If you answer well, you'll get a reward if the case is solved. But if you answer badly, this matter will be implicated in a murder, and you'll go to jail!"
Ni Yueshan's expression was extremely serious, and his tone sounded extremely solemn, which made Dou Qionghua extremely stunned. A bloody murder...
"What bloody case? It's just..." Zheng Rouer was very unhappy and wanted to make some excuses, but when she saw the look in Ni Yueshan's eyes, she swallowed her words and said nothing more.
Ni Yueshan then withdrew his gaze and returned it to Dou Qionghua: "Be careful, think it over before you speak!"
"This..." Dou Qionghua looked at Ni Yueshan in embarrassment, then looked at Zheng Rouer, and finally said: "I can't remember whether there is or not. I need to look in the booklet. The booklet has the record!"
Then he lowered his head and said nothing more.
Kang Xueyi had already turned the booklet to the page from last spring, and read out the entries one by one: "On March 4th, Zheng Rouer received a pearl necklace and two hundred taels of silver from Mr. Xue. On March 5th, Zheng Rouer received a pair of jade bracelets and a gold ingot from Mr. Xue..."
Ni Yueshan shouted "Stop" and then looked at Mrs. Guo: "Mom, when were you kicked out of the house?"
"When you were looking for a matchmaker for your father..."
As he said this, he lowered his head in shame and embarrassment.
Ni Yueshan suddenly realized, "It takes at least two months for a woman to know she's pregnant. If we count from when I met Master Xue, then two months after March in spring would be May. But when I was looking for a second wife for my father, it wasn't May at that time!"
"To calculate two months, let's start from September, when my father was looking for a second wife. Going back two months, that would be when Zheng Rou'er became pregnant. But by then, Zheng Rou'er, you had known Master Xue for about half a year before Master Xue redeemed you."
"But the pearl necklace and jade bracelet that Lord Kang just mentioned are not cheaper than redeeming your freedom!"
"Who, who said that! The master redeemed me long ago! At that time, I lived outside the mansion for three months before I found out I was pregnant and was brought back to the mansion! I also lived there for another two months before Guo caused me to have a miscarriage!"
She pointed to where Mrs. Guo was. At this moment, Mrs. Guo was drinking tea with fruits and cakes beside her. There was also a servant massaging her legs. She looked extremely comfortable.
Zheng Rouer was stunned for a moment, then snorted and shifted her gaze.
Ni Yueshan raised the corner of his mouth, but before he could say anything, he heard Dou Qionghua's surprise: "So the murder case was actually a miscarriage case!"
Ni Yueshan ignored him and walked towards the back hall. Zheng Rouer glared at him: "You, where are you going? The master in the back hall is examining the patient!"
Ni Yueshan ignored Zheng Rouer and went straight to the back hall. At this time, a group of imperial doctors were still surrounding Xue Rong. Xue Rong felt extremely pressured by being watched. Although it was still very cold, he was sweating all over.
Ni Yueshan came over and asked, "Have you found out everything?"
The imperial physician handed over a piece of paper with black words on it. Ni Yueshan reached out to take it. Xue Rong's eyes widened: "You, what are you doing! That's my privacy!"
Ni Yueshan raised the corner of her mouth and said with a smile: "Don't you want to know whether you are infertile? Don't you want to know whether the beautiful Zheng beside you is cheating on you?"
Xue Rong was suspicious. What was a green hat?
Ni Yueshan didn't continue talking to him and walked out.
Zheng Rouer was still kneeling in the hall. She didn't know where Ni Yueshan had gone, but she felt a little uneasy in her heart. She stared at Ni Yueshan with strength and calmness.
