Chapter 596: Suing the Township Lord for Indirectly Killing Jiang Ying
Xingxing didn't expect things to turn out like this.
She could only say that she was just an ordinary doctor and could not guarantee that she would get the other person pregnant.
As for the Crown Princess being pregnant?
That is the well-being of the Crown Princess herself and has little to do with her.
As a result, the more Xingxing said this, the more everyone felt that Xingxing was being humble, and they asked Xingxing to help take a look more eagerly.
Xing Xing sighed.
However, with her medical skills, she actually cured several couples who had been unable to have children for many years.
Of course, there are also those who are physically ill, and Xingxing can only tell the truth.
For example, on this day, the third wife of the Duke of Xin came to the General Zhenxi's Mansion in a secretive manner with a young woman.
Xing Xing naturally did not refuse the people brought by the Third Madam because of the old lady of Duke Xin.
After Xing Xing took the other person's pulse, she sighed and said tactfully: "Madam, did you have a serious illness when you were young and hurt your body? Maybe it will be difficult for you to have children."
Xingxing spoke politely, but the young woman understood and burst into tears immediately.
When she was young, she met a bad man and was deceived into having sex. As a result, she became pregnant just after that one time.
There was nothing the family could do but buy her a dose of abortion pills and have her take them.
As a result, the abortion pills caused her to bleed heavily and she almost lost her life.
After that, she went to live with her aunt in another city for a few years. When she recovered, she came back and told others that she was a young widow whose husband had died.
Two years ago, her family arranged another marriage for her. The man was a widower whose wife had died, and he was a perfect match for her as a widow.
However, the man's deceased wife did not leave him any children, so she still had to give birth after marrying him. She always thought that she was in good health, but after two years of marriage, she still had not gotten pregnant. Xingxing happened to be famous, so she asked her sister from the same clan who married into the Xin Guo Mansion, Madam Yu San, to help introduce her.
Unexpectedly, Xingxing directly told her that it would be difficult to have children.
The young woman's name was Jiang Ying. After crying, she begged Xing Xing to help her. Xing Xing shook her head in embarrassment: "Madam, you are seriously injured. I can't do anything for you."
Jiang Ying said with a bitter look on her face: "My Lord, please keep my situation a secret for me..."
Xing Xing nodded and comforted him, "Okay, don't worry. This is basic medical ethics."
Jiang Ying left in a daze, following the third wife of Duke Xin's Mansion.
However, unexpectedly, a few days later, the bad news came that Jiang Ying had committed suicide by hanging herself from the beam of the house with a rope.
Jiang Ying's parents still loved their daughter, and went to Jiang Ying's husband's house to make a big scene. Then they found out that someone had made a big fuss about Jiang Ying's infertility, and even Jiang Ying's husband had a big scene with her.
I guess Jiang Ying was so desperate that she hanged herself with a rope.
Jiang Ying's family followed the lead and found the third wife of Duke Xin.
The third wife of Duke Xin was Jiang Ying's cousin. When she heard about this, her expression changed immediately: "...I took Ah Ying to see Lord Fusui a few days ago. I wanted to borrow Lord Fusui's blessing to pray for Ah Ying to have a child. I never thought that it would become a death warrant?!"
When Jiang Ying's parents and husband's family heard this, they all stopped trying.
Everyone knows that Fusui Xiangjun is the most popular person in the capital right now.
However, one night later, Jiang Ying's husband's family went to protest again and sued Xing Xing!
The yamen runners of Shuntian Prefecture did not dare to be negligent, and when they summoned Xingxing to Shuntian Prefecture for questioning, they always used the word "please".
Xing Xing was still checking Li Chunhua's pulse. After hearing this, she didn't panic. She just stood up and said, "Please wait a moment. I'll go change my clothes and go with you."
She walked and sat upright, and she was naturally not afraid of being summoned by the government and asked a few questions.
But the Yu family was stunned.
Who?!
Who would come to accuse their Xing Xing out of the blue? !
At one moment, several servants left the Zhenxi General's Mansion, each of them going to pass on messages.
Some went to the military camp outside the city, some went to shops on the street, some went to the Hanlin Academy, and there was one whose whereabouts were mysterious and no one knew where he was going.
In short, not long after Xingxing left, Yu Yonghuai, Yu Yongbai, Yu Yongliu, and even the elusive Yu Yonggui all came back.
The four brothers simply greeted each other, looked at each other, and then hurried to the yamen.
Xingxing is a county lady, so she doesn't need to kneel when entering the hall.
Shuntian Prefecture Governor was also very polite to Xingxing: "Mr. Fusui, I invite you to come here because I have something to ask you."
Xing Xing nodded: "Excuse me, sir."
Shuntian prefect then told the story of Jiang Ying hanging herself, and pointed at Jiang Ying's man Xiao Qiang who was kneeling on the ground: "...Xiangjun, Jiang Ying's husband Xiao Qiang sued Xiangjun for indirectly killing Jiang Ying. Do you admit it?"
Xingxing naturally refused to admit it.
Xing Xing did not dismiss the other party because of his ridiculousness. She said seriously: "...Sir, I told her the truth about the lady's health problems. How can it be considered that I killed her? If you really want to count it like that, who in the world would dare to practice medicine?"
The prefect of Shuntian nodded repeatedly, thinking it made sense.
Many people who came to watch the excitement also nodded repeatedly. How could this be possible?
Xiao Qiang, who was kneeling on the ground, was very excited: "If that's the case, how can I dare to sue a county lady! ... I sued County Lady Fusui because she made a big fuss about my wife's illness and made fun of her. My wife couldn't bear the humiliation, so she hanged herself!"
Xingxing frowned when she heard this and couldn't help but look at Xiao Qiang a little more.
This Xiao Qiang has a somewhat sneaky look. When he speaks, his eyes wander, but his words come out one after another.
It was as if he had already prepared a draft in mind!
Xingxing reasonably suspected that someone had taught him to be like this.
Xing Xing was very calm and did not get flustered by Xiao Qiang's groundless accusation.
She asked Xiao Qiang: "You said that I was the one who spread your wife's illness. I just want to ask, what is the evidence?"
Xiao Qiang was a little flustered when he was asked by Xing Xing.
He didn't expect that this little girl, though young, was actually very stable - shouldn't this little girl be trapped in a self-incrimination trap and have to prove her innocence?
Why don't you play by the rules and ask him to produce evidence?
Xiao Qiang thought of the huge sum of money that man had promised him, and he made up his mind: "My wife went to see you with the third wife of Duke Xin. Not long after she came back, she hanged herself because someone else knew about her illness! If it wasn't you, who else could it be?!"
Xiao Qiang even shouted to the people watching the excitement: "Fellow villagers! My wife is only in her twenties, a prime age! But because of her private illness, this Fusui villager made a joke of it and ruined her life! I, Xiao Qiang, will seek justice for my wife even if it costs me my life!"
Xiao Qiang spoke passionately, and the people watching couldn't help but be moved.
