Chapter 251 Let me go home and sleep

After much searching, the final result was still on Liu Mutou.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were both at home at the time and were both suspected of committing the crime, but Liu's mother insisted that it was herself. There was no human or physical evidence to prove whether it was a single crime or a joint crime.

That night, as soon as Zong Jincheng returned to the Marquis' Mansion, he couldn't wait to tell Xu Wan about this shocking gossip. The little boy who was the first to eat the melon at the scene described it in great vivid detail.

Xu Wan said with a smile: "In fact, the rumors have spread among the people. People are speculating that the mother-in-law took the blame for her daughter-in-law in order to protect her two grandchildren."

"Ah?" The little devil scratched his head and said, "The news spread so fast. We just finished the review during the day."

Xu Wan warned, "But Wang is pregnant. The Dali Temple must be careful when guarding her. It is not advisable to torture her in the early stages of pregnancy, as this will not be conducive to preserving the fetus."

Zong Jincheng nodded and said, "Don't worry, mother. Wang has arranged a place for her to live alone, and the Dali Temple will not interrogate him too often for the time being. Haha, I tell you, he is scared to death now. In the afternoon, he even yelled at Wang, and now he is scared."

"Hahaha...that's really scary." Xu Wan felt nervous for the Dali Temple Minister just thinking about it.

Zong Jincheng suddenly remembered something: "Oh, by the way, Mom, I have another question for you."

"What's the problem?" Xu Wan picked up the teacup casually.

The kid didn't think anything was unusual and asked seriously, "It was that Wang. She had a scarf around her neck. It wasn't cold this time of year. Why did she wear it? Your Highness said that there were no signs of abuse on her body. What were those signs?"

"Puff..." The tea that Xu Wan had just put into her mouth sprayed out.

No, this thing...

"Didn't the prince tell you?"

The little devil shook his head and said, "Your Highness told me not to ask and to just watch the trial carefully. But why can't I ask? I don't understand."

Xu Wan coughed and pretended to be busy putting the teacup away. Not only was the prince embarrassed by this question, she was embarrassed too.

But, avoiding the topic doesn't seem to be a good idea either.

So she tried to explain, "It's a kind of pleasure between husband and wife. When you suck hard on the skin, a small red mark will appear. If there are more marks and they are exposed and seen by others, both men and women will feel embarrassed."

"Ah?" The little devil tilted his head and thought, seeming to understand but not quite.

The next second, Xu Wan saw the boy roll up his sleeves and suck hard on her thin arm. She immediately exclaimed in surprise: "Hey? There really is something!"

Xu Wan: “…………”

Your Highness is really worried. This poor kid knows nothing.

Seeing that he was about to continue sucking, Xu Wan slapped him on the arm and stopped him, "Little idiot, stop playing now. If someone sees you, they will think you are doing something stupid."

Zong Jincheng still raised his arm to look, but the marks quickly disappeared. He wondered, "Could it be that my strength is too weak?"

Xu Wan held her forehead with her hand and said weakly, "The skin on my arms is too rough, so it's not easy to leave marks."

"Oh...it's amazing." exclaimed the kid.

Xu Wan really didn't want to talk about this topic with him anymore, so she continued, "Wang was pregnant and still had so many marks on her body. She cried every day after her husband died, and the baby in her belly was also very strong. Anyway, the Dali Temple really can't torture her anymore, otherwise she might miscarry."

The little devil nodded and said, "Yes, I'll tell them when I go to the Dali Temple tomorrow."

They all slept soundly that night.

In the early morning, the little devil suddenly woke up from his dream and shouted: "She cried for two days in grief, her eyes were swollen into a slit, did she not lose the baby?"

Pan Hongzhi was suddenly awakened: "???"

What's going on? Is it daybreak? Is it cloudy today?

Zong Jincheng quickly put on his shoes and got out of bed, and shouted anxiously outside: "Shunzi, go and ask the court doctor to come over and go to the Dali Temple with me."

Shunzi narrowed his eyes and asked in confusion, "Master Cheng, the Dali Temple hasn't started investigating cases yet. You should have breakfast first."

Zong Jincheng put on his coat and ran out: "No, I have to go quickly. I want to see if my guess is right."

"Okay, okay, I'll go get the palace doctor right away, please go slowly." Shunzi shouted to Buyan as he ran, "Buyan, quickly ask someone to prepare some food for Master Cheng, so he can fill his stomach in the carriage later."

Without saying a word, he sighed silently and turned around to get the food.

What a living ancestor, he is always making people suffer.

Dali Temple.

The officers on night duty had not yet handed over their duties and left. Knowing that Zong Jincheng had just come here with the crown prince the day before, everyone was respectful to him even though the crown prince was not there at the moment.

"Young master, you come here so early, is there anything?" As he spoke, he looked at the court physician who was following Zong Jincheng. He was carrying a medicine box and looked like a doctor.

Zong Jincheng said, "I want to see how Wang's pregnancy is going. She has been through so much these past few days. Does she need to protect the pregnancy?"

The officer understood and said with a smile, "No, young master. The doctor who came to see her yesterday said that as long as she doesn't get too excited again, she will be fine."

"Are there doctors in the Dali Temple?" Zong Jincheng didn't expect that it was so complete.

The officer shook his head and said, "Oh no, it was the doctor who was specifically looking after Wang. He came to the Dali Temple yesterday to ask for an audience. We checked him and found no problem, so we let him in."

"A doctor who specializes in taking care of Wang?" Zong Jincheng frowned, "Isn't her family ordinary people?"

The official shook his head and said, "The Liu family has fallen on hard times, and are now just ordinary people. But not Mother Liu. Her family has prospered in recent years. I heard that her only brother died, and a lot of the family property was given to her, so the Liu family is now living a good life."

Zong Jincheng frowned, feeling that something was wrong, but couldn't put his finger on it.

The palace doctor asked from behind: "Master Cheng, since the doctor has already examined us, should we go back to the palace first?"

The little devil was also hesitant: "But I just feel something is wrong."

The court physician thought to himself: The Dali Temple has rich experience in solving cases, and you, a little kid, are so upset. It’s good enough that the officials are willing to pay attention to you. Let me go home and sleep!

Finally, the official kindly said, "Young Master, if you are worried, please let the court doctor go in to take a look. You are brought by the prince, and we at the Dali Temple will do our best to cooperate with you in whatever you want to do."

Zong Jincheng nodded heavily and said, "Thank you. I'll ask the court doctor to go in and take a look."

Palace doctor: “…”

That's fine, finish the consultation as soon as possible and go home to catch up on some sleep.
