Tai Banxue felt guilty: "It's already difficult to speak, and I can't even lift my hands."
Ni Yueshan's face darkened. Jing Yuchen looked at Shao Lecheng. Shao Lecheng was Tai Banxue's future husband, but he didn't have any worries at all. Instead, he looked very proud.
Ni Yueshan and Jing Yuchen were pleased that their trip was in vain.
Jing Yuchen was looking at him, and Shao Lecheng raised his eyebrows with great satisfaction: "Alas, Miss Tai's illness happened at such a bad time, perhaps this is God's will!"
"The testimony of an Imperial Observatory is useless. He needs to provide evidence to prove that he accepted bribes. He also needs to help you catch the person behind the scenes and make him confess! Otherwise, his confession will be unconvincing!"
As he said this, he walked out with a big laugh. Minister Tai looked at Shao Lecheng's figure and couldn't help but sigh. He didn't even want to pretend to care?
He laughed so loudly.
Ni Yueshan looked at Jing Yuchen, and Jing Yuchen said, "Let's go back."
"Just leaving like that?" Ni Yueshan was a little unwilling.
Jing Yuchen seemed a little tired: "I can't testify, nor can I write a confession. There's really no other way. Let's go!"
Ni Yueshan followed behind Jing Yuchen, and Minister Tai and Old Tai hurried forward to see him off.
"Lord Regent, I have already asked the imperial physician to take my daughter's pulse, and the conclusion is that it is indeed the plague. I am ashamed and cannot testify for the Prime Minister's Mansion, but I don't want to lose this daughter!"
As he spoke, Elder Tai wanted to kneel down, but Jing Yuchen held out his hand to support him: "Master Tai, please stand up. If Miss Tai really has the plague, it will be very difficult to deal with."
Then Jing Yuchen looked at Ni Yueshan and said, "Why don't you go and ask Miss Xiao?"
Ni Yueshan nodded without hesitation: "Okay!"
Both Mr. Tai and Minister Tai had worried expressions on their faces, and their expressions made them look more and more alike.
When they reached the door, Elder Tai and Minister Tai stopped. Ni Yueshan asked curiously, "Except for the few days when she was abducted, Miss Tai has ever been alone."
"At other times, she was always accompanied by a maid. If Miss Tai had the plague, the servants should have been infected as well."
Tai Lao immediately followed up: "No one in the mansion has contracted the plague!"
Ni Yueshan's brows were still furrowed. "So, this plague is very selective about its victims?"
The timing of Tai Banxue's infection with the plague was already very strange, and now she is the only one infected. Isn't that even stranger?
Old Tai and Minister Tai looked at each other. They felt more and more that there was something hidden behind the fact that Tai Banxue was infected with the plague!
Afterwards, Ni Yueshan and Jing Yuchen got on a carriage and went to General Zou’s mansion.
Zou Yangyao has indeed helped a lot during this period. Originally, Ni Yueshan wanted to distance herself from Zou Yangyao, but now that Zou Yangyao and Xiao Chuer are married, she feels that it is no big deal.
When Zou Yangyao saw the two, he immediately asked, "What was the result of the three-court trial?"
Ni Yueshan and Jing Yuchen didn't look happy at all, which showed that the result was not ideal.
He frowned, "Isn't there Miss Tai as a witness? Why isn't it going smoothly?"
Afterwards, Ni Yueshan told Zou Yangyao about Tai Banxue's story, and he understood.
"Chu'er, I'll let Chu'er go to Tai Mansion!" Zou Yangyao took the initiative to propose.
Ni Yueshan nodded: "We came here just to find Chu'er!"
Zou Yangyao assured: "Chu'er is seeing a patient outside and hasn't come back yet. When she comes back, I will send someone to Tai Mansion immediately!"
Ni Yueshan and Jing Yuchen still looked solemn. Although Xiao Chuer's intervention offered a glimmer of hope, it was probably not great.
Plague is not like other diseases; it is common and easy to treat.
The two were planning to leave, but Zou Yangyao asked them to stay for dinner and sent someone to urge Xiao Chuer to come back quickly. Ni Yueshan and Jing Yuchen did not refuse and stayed in Zou's house to wait for Xiao Chuer.
Time passed by little by little, and the lunch time was getting further and further away. Zou Yangyao could no longer sit still before anyone came back.
Just as he was about to ask the servants, before he found Xiao Chuer and brought her back, he saw the maid who had gone out with Xiao Chuer to diagnose the patient hurried in.
"Oh no, oh no! My husband, my lady and I were on our way when we met robbers, and my lady was kidnapped!"
Ni Yueshan and the other two were all surprised.
But I also have a vague feeling in my heart that this must not be a coincidence!
