"Xiaoduo, after you leave, could you please go to my house and tell my father not to waste his energy on my matter? Also, could you please tell my mother not to be too upset because of her unfilial son?"
"Their kindness in giving birth to and raising us can only be repaid in the next life by their son, Dong Yuefan." After lowering his sleeves, Dong Yuefan smiled bitterly.
"Stop, stop! I'm not good at this kind of thing, and I won't pass on your message." Hong Xiaoduo immediately refused.
However, there is something Dong Yuefan is good at in this matter. Actually, it's not exactly her forte. She has a DNA testing instrument in her space. She just needs to find a way to test the skin flakes under the deceased's fingernails to see if they belong to Dong Yuefan.
He said he was so drunk that night that he was completely unconscious, and he had no recollection of how he got to another room or when his arm was scratched.
Now, Hong Xiaoduo's main concern is to exonerate Dong Yuefan and clear her of the murder charge. The most important thing is to find the real killer.
Otherwise, if the DNA test results show that the bloodstains and skin flakes in the deceased's fingernails belong to Dong Yuefan, it would further confirm that he is the murderer.
Even if there is another possibility, that the marks on Dong Yuefan's arm were scratched by the culprit while she was unconscious, there must be solid evidence.
"Xiao Duo, don't worry about me. This is probably my fate. My only regret is dying unjustly. Although I didn't care much about my reputation in the past, sigh."
"Fortunately, you believe me, which is some consolation," Dong Yuefan said with a smile, trying to comfort herself.
However, in Hong Xiaoduo's opinion, his smile was even uglier than his crying.
I didn't think this man truly had a detached view of life and death, or could genuinely face death with equanimity. His 'calm and collected' demeanor was merely a reflection of male pride.
"Brother Dong, I have another question for you. After you woke up, was there anything unusual about that part of your body?" Hong Xiaoduo asked after thinking for a moment.
Which part? Which part?
Neither Dong Yuefan, inside the fence, nor Mu Rongjing, outside the fence, understood what they were hearing.
However, following her gaze, Murong Jing realized the part she had just mentioned.
Then, Dong Yuefan, a beat slower, also realized what was happening and looked down at her lower abdomen.
"After men and women do that kind of thing, there's always something different, right?" Hong Xiaoduo noticed that Dong Yuefan hadn't responded for a while, so she thought he hadn't understood her meaning and gave him a hint.
Huh? Dong Yuefan and Murong Jing looked at her in surprise at the same time, thinking they had misheard.
The jailer standing further away looked at Hong Xiaoduo as if he had seen a ghost, then looked at the two people inside and outside the cell, and wondered, whose family is this bold young lady?
Is this the kind of question a young lady like her should ask?
Dong Yuefan's reaction made Hong Xiaoduo doubt herself. Had she not expressed herself clearly enough? So, she could only continue to give hints: "It's like, illicit relations? Sexual intercourse? The different meanings before and after."
Hong Xiaoduo, who comes from the modern era, is still a young girl, but she knows a few things.
Besides, she was only asking this question to help Dong Yuefan, so she didn't feel embarrassed or ashamed at all.
"No, no, no, there's nothing wrong with it," Dong Yuefan said hurriedly, her face flushed.
If we don't respond quickly, who knows what other questions she might ask!
"Are you sure? Don't be embarrassed, there's nothing awkward about it. This detail is crucial to clearing your name of any doubts. You can't just give me a casual answer because you think it's awkward or not." Hong Xiaoduo looked at the person in front of her in an awkward situation and thought to herself, "I don't even feel embarrassed."
"There really is nothing unusual. After I was woken up and understood what they meant, I was also worried that I might have really done that bastard thing, so, I, um, can confirm it." Hearing Hong Xiaoduo's words, Dong Yuefan felt very guilty. In order to clear her name, she, an unmarried young lady, had no scruples, and she was still blushing?
Although he is not as successful as his five older brothers, he is still a virgin.
However, the wealthy and powerful men he knew all had wives and concubines, maids to warm their beds, and frequented brothels. Spending time with them, he heard many stories of sexual pleasure, so even though he had never been with a woman, he knew what obvious signs would appear on the body after sexual intercourse.
After receiving an affirmative answer, Hong Xiaoduo nodded: "Okay, I understand. You should rest well and stop overthinking. Calm yourself down and go over the whole story in your mind. Find anything that seems off or unusual. I'm leaving now."
Hong Xiaoduo didn't urge him to eat, because there were empty bowls, plates, and chopsticks on a low stool in the cell.
She's leaving already? Although Dong Yuefan had just said this place was unlucky and was trying to drive her away, she felt a little disappointed now that she was really leaving.
Seeing that Hong Xiaoduo had turned and walked several steps away, Dong Yuefan suddenly said, "Xiaoduo, wait a moment, I have something I want to tell you."
After saying that, seeing that Murong Jing had also stopped and was about to follow, he quickly emphasized, "I'll speak to you alone."
Hong Xiaoduo thought he had suddenly thought of some crucial detail, so she quickly came back.
Mu Rongjing frowned slightly, his sharp eyes fixed on the person inside the fence.
"Xiao Duo, do you know this kid from the Mu family? Don't tell me you dressed like this because of him?" Dong Yuefan asked in a low voice.
He knew that it was for the sake of pleasing others.
He wasn't saying that Hong Xiaoduo looked bad in this outfit; on the contrary, she looked very good in it today. It would have been even better if she hadn't worn a sword and whip at her waist.
Listening to him, it must be a misunderstanding. Hong Xiaoduo laughed. Not bad, she still has the mind to gossip.
"Yes, I know him. I was able to get in thanks to him, but don't make wild guesses. It's not what you think about us." After saying that, Hong Xiaoduo turned and walked out.
I've asked everything I needed to ask. Now I need to think about the next step and what to do.
"What, has he thought of some details again?" Murong Jing asked casually as they walked out.
When Dong Yuefan called out to Hong Xiaoduo just now, the look in his eyes told him that what the kid was about to say was related to him.
"What? He saw me dressed like this and thought I was trying to please you. Sigh, Your Highness, you can't even take care of yourself right now, yet you still have the mind to be curious about this."
"Young Master, is there a teahouse nearby? Shall I invite you for some tea?" Hong Xiaoduo asked with a smile...
