These words made the atmosphere, which had just eased slightly, immediately tense again. Village Chief Xu questioned Shu Jiaying with a murderous look.
"Tell me, did you accidentally prick my mother's 'fatal point' when you were giving her acupuncture, and that's why she never woke up?
Jiaying girl, Jiaying girl, you actually made that mistake back then. If you had told me in time, maybe things could have been salvaged. But you said my mother had become a 'vegetative' just to save your own face. You really hurt my mother terribly. Do you know... you killed a life!"
"Miss Shu, since ancient times, murderers must pay with their lives. Although we have no direct evidence to prove that you did it, can you really live with your conscience? Are you worthy of the care that Master has always given you? This time, you have truly broken His Majesty's heart."
"Jiaying, please tell me seriously right now, did my mother really die because of your misdiagnosis?"
"Speak..."
“…”
Shu Jiaying looked with a complicated expression at the two people who were trying to force her to confess. She stood up from her chair and said in a resounding voice, "Uncle Xu, for all these years I have always believed that you are the only one in Guangming Village who understands me the best. I have been bullied since I was a child, but I have never done anything against others because of it. I swear to you about this matter of Grandma Xu. I did not misdiagnose her, and every word I said to you is true. If you don't believe me, you can take me to the government office to sue me, but in front of the county magistrate, I will still say this: I didn't do it, I didn't do it. I will never pretend to admit my mistakes just to give you psychological comfort. After all, justice is in the hearts of the people. If you still don't believe me, then I have nothing to say."
"Jiaying girl, you..."
When Village Chief Xu heard the determination in Shu Jiaying's words, he fell silent and wanted to say something else.
Shu Jiaying bowed deeply three times in the direction of where Grandma Xu had lived. When she faced Village Chief Xu again, she said, "Since Grandma has been laid to rest long ago, I can't see her off. Uncle Xu, I know you're very sad right now, and you still have a big misunderstanding of me. If that's the case, my staying here will only add to your unhappiness. So I'll go back first. When you truly understand me one day, you can come to me anytime. In my heart, your position will never change."
“…”
After waiting for a few seconds and not hearing what Village Chief Xu said, Shu Jiaying left.
After a long while, Feng Qiaoer reluctantly asked, "Sir, are you really going to let Miss Shu go like this? Our mother died in such an unclear way!"
Village Chief Xu asked her back.
"Then tell me, if I don't let her go, do you have evidence to prove that she is the murderer of my mother?"
“…”
Feng Qiao'er was speechless after hearing these words. She turned her head away awkwardly. She felt really sorry that she couldn't harm Shu Jiaying this time. But then she thought again, the old lady had been buried, and Village Chief Xu was still suspicious of Shu Jiaying. Therefore, no one would suspect her of the old lady's death. So it couldn't be said that her attempt to frame someone was unsuccessful. At least she could get away with it, which was something to be happy about.
