After pondering seriously for a while, Liu Yunzhou asked Xie Lingqin again with a solemn expression, "Miss Lingqin, do you think Doctor Jiang is innocent?"
Xie Lingqin's brow twitched; of course, she hoped that Doctor Jiang would suffer a fate worse than death.
However, at this moment, as Liu Yunzhou looked over, almost everyone's gaze also fell on her.
It wasn't that I trusted her that much, but rather that even Young Master Liu asked her, so whatever she said would become the focus.
But how could Xie Lingqin explain it? If she definitively said that it was Doctor Jiang's doing, then General Xie wasn't stupid, and besides, her second aunt wished her dead. If she found any fault, she could end up getting herself into trouble.
Hopefully, Liu Yunzhou will have a change of heart today.
So, in just a moment, Xie Lingqin nodded respectfully, her expression gentle, "Doctor Jiang has always been very dedicated to taking our pulses and examining us. I don't know much else about him, but the kindness and unpredictability of people's hearts are beyond anyone's comprehension."
"So, Miss Lingqin, you also think that Doctor Jiang might have been framed?"
Xie Lingqin...
Which ear did he use to interpret that? She clearly emphasized the last sentence, and even paused on purpose.
"How could such a small garment be put on just anyone? This matter is indeed very strange. But if it's a frame-up, who would frame Doctor Jiang?"
Xie Lingqin had no choice but to be patient and speak softly.
In reality, the intention was to use this statement to gloss over the truth and sow suspicion in General Xie.
but……
Liu Yunzhou, the pedantic eldest son, once again contradicted him, agreeing wholeheartedly, "Indeed, judging a great deal by a small matter, we should investigate carefully."
Xie Lingqin...
If she hadn't known that Liu Yunzhou was a genuine scholar, a truly pedantic, straightforward, and simple-minded person, she would have chopped him up on the spot.
With a sigh of relief, Xie Lingqin looked at Xie Zhuangjun, hoping that this selfish and face-conscious father would not care about Liu Yunzhou's words and would make Doctor Jiang wish he were dead.
General Xie then looked at Liu Yunzhou.
Liu Yunzhou was a renowned scholar in the capital, well-educated, handsome, and of noble birth. Although no one in his family held official positions, they were a prominent family with powerful backing, including Consort Shu. He was someone Liu Yunzhou could not afford to offend.
It's just a doctor, why shouldn't he do a favor?
In this way, I can still win over Young Master Liu.
General Xie's thoughts could not escape Xie Lingqin's keen attention, and her heart sank to the bottom.
Looking at Liu Yunzhou again, she saw him looking at her with a clear and gentle smile, "Miss Ling has unique insights. I knew it. She is not someone that ordinary women can compare to."
Upon hearing Liu Yunzhou's words, General Xie, who had been pondering, looked at Xie Lingqin again.
Suddenly, his eyes sharpened and brightened, clearly showing his doubt.
Xie Lingqin was utterly speechless!
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Liu Yunzhou...
Liu Yunzhou smiled at her again.
The look in his eyes seemed to say, "Miss Lingqin, I'm helping you gain the General's favor; you don't need to thank me."
Thank you, thank you so much!
The reason she didn't kill him with one blow was because Xie Lingqin was weak and powerless at the time.
Liu Yunzhou is the best example of what it means to be more trouble than good at doing something.
She absolutely cannot allow General Xie to become suspicious of her right now.
Containing her thoughts, Xie Lingqin could only maintain her serene demeanor until she sensed that General Xie had not looked away from her gaze, at which point she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, Xie Lingqin heard General Xie's voice, "What Young Master Liu said makes sense. In that case, I will let you go for now and hand you over to the authorities for investigation. If you are truly innocent, your name will be cleared."
"This..." Doctor Jiang stared blankly for a moment, then realized that this was already a great favor to him, and immediately kowtowed in agreement.
"It wasn't me. You should thank Young Master Liu for pleading on your behalf."
"Yes, yes, yes." Doctor Jiang turned to Young Master Liu and kowtowed again. "Thank you, Young Master Liu, for intercession. Thank you, Young Master Liu, for your wisdom."
What a brilliant idiot!
Xie Lingqin's eyes were calm, but her internal organs were burning with rage.
General Xie's sword, which had been pointing at Doctor Jiang, was now sheathed.
Doctor Jiang swallowed hard, but...
Suddenly, a strong smell of urine filled the air.
Immediately, everyone covered their mouths and noses.
It was Doctor Jiang! He was so scared that he wet his pants. They let him go, and he was still so frightened?
This time, his reputation is truly ruined in his later years.
The guards beside General Xie immediately stepped forward and dragged Doctor Jiang away.
"Clean this place up." After giving the order in a deep voice, General Xie looked at Liu Yunzhou with a gentle expression. "Young Master Liu, since you've come to the manor, why don't we go to the front hall for a chat?"
"Very well, I came to see Miss Lingqin anyway. Seeing that she is alright, I am relieved." Liu Yunzhou said, cupping his hands to Xie Lingqin. "Then, Miss Lingqin, please take care."
hehe!
Lingqin is very grateful for Young Master Lao Liu's thoughtfulness.
"We should be grateful, but Miss, they've all gone, so don't bother looking anymore." Just after seeing the two off, Xie Lingqin heard her second aunt's slightly sarcastic voice.
Yu Guangyi glanced at the second aunt, watching General Xie's back, her tightly clenched fingers tightening.
"Yes, Father has already gone far away, Second Aunt, please stop looking." Xie Lingqin said softly, seemingly oblivious to the deeper meaning in her Second Aunt's words.
The second aunt frowned immediately. Suddenly, she felt that Xie Lingqin was much more sharp. But upon closer inspection, she was clearly no different from usual.
Xie Lingqin was truly lucky; she must have done something extraordinary in her past life to attract the attention of the most renowned scholars in the capital.
