"Uncle, did Feng Qiaoer kill Old Man Gao in a fit of rage?"
Shu Jiaying deliberately spoke from Old Man Feng's perspective.
Although Old Man Feng's eyes flickered for a moment, he finally nodded.
"You're right. My daughter accidentally killed Old Man Gao, but she didn't mean to do that. She was pushed to the limit by that eldest wife, so she lost control."
The corners of Shu Jiaying's mouth trembled.
"But this is a human life!"
Old Man Feng immediately said with disdain: "Old Man Gao is so old. To put it bluntly, most of his body has already been lying in the coffin. It is a blessing for my daughter to marry him. Now that my daughter has sent him off, he can be said to have died a worthy death. But my daughter is pitiful. Because of this incident, the Gao family's eldest wife sent her to Xianglingfang, and she was forced to receive customers like those prostitutes.
But my daughter is beautiful, how can she serve those ordinary mortals?
The first task that the wife of Xianglingfang assigned to my daughter was to receive a fat man.
As soon as the fat guy saw my daughter's appearance, he was immediately fascinated by her and wanted to do whatever he wanted to her.
In order to preserve her innocence, my daughter had no choice but to deal with that fat guy.
So I say my daughter's life is too hard. She clearly has the appearance to be a lady of high rank, but she just happened to meet the wrong person. After much difficulty, she finally met the head of Guangming Village, but he died after she married him.
Shu Jiaying immediately asked, "Old man, wasn't it your daughter who dealt with the village chief in Guangming Village?"
"I'm not really sure about that. Ever since my daughter married into Guangming Village, she's become estranged from me. She doesn't want to tell me many things. She used to give me money, but now she wants to keep it in her pocket even if she dies. I think this is the biggest knot in my heart. My daughter is gone, but I never thought of betraying her."
The veil covered Shu Jiaying's silent smile. It seemed that more than five lives were lost at Feng Qiaoer's hands, but the actual number should be seven.
Shu Jiaying was surprised that Feng Qiaoer took a person's life so lightly. At the same time, she was also angry that she had no evidence to bring this vicious woman to justice.
Although she had obtained Old Man Feng's testimony, she understood that if she dragged Feng Qiaoer to the yamen one day, Old Man Feng might not confess everything to the county magistrate. She had to think of a way.
Suddenly, a fairy tale about telling one's secrets to a tree hole flashed through Shu Jiaying's mind. She had an idea and looked at the needles stuck in Old Man Feng's body.
It was probably about time, so Shu Jiaying delicately removed the silver needle. She asked, "Old man, how do you feel now after the acupuncture?"
"Hmm... cough cough..."
Old man Feng coughed twice deliberately, and his throat instantly felt much more comfortable.
Giving Shu Jiaying a thumbs-up, Old Man Feng praised her, "Female doctor, you're truly a miracle worker. I feel much better now, and my throat isn't so itchy anymore. I think it's the effect of your magic needles. You've cleared the knot in my heart."
Shu Jiaying shook her head and said, "Uncle, the comfort you feel now is only temporary. I think it will come back in a couple of days."
"Why, didn't you just say that as long as I untied the knot in my heart, my illness would be cured without medicine?"
Shu Jiaying immediately clarified.
"That's theoretically true. In reality, the silver needles are just forcing your stagnation to another place. Maybe in two days, the stagnation will break through the blocked acupuncture points on its own. I think your condition will become even more serious."
