Demon Doctor's Crazy Consort
"You can think of it that way." Feng Qingchen said nonchalantly, then suddenly changed his tone, with a dark and ominous glint in his eyes: "Today's rumors have nothing to do with you, but this murderer, if you can't find him, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Shen Yunxi was about to retort, but Feng Qingchen didn't give her a chance to respond. He glanced at Ning Meng's corpse and continued, "If you want to see her die unjustly, you can refuse. I have no opinion."
After hearing this, Shen Yunxi was so angry that he gritted his teeth, of course, he had no opinion!
Because if she really didn't investigate the murderer according to his words, then she would become a big bad egg who colluded with him, disregarded human life and let the killer go unpunished!
This move of his is really ruthless! Although she doesn't care about others' opinions of her, as a former forensic doctor, she can't just watch someone die unjustly.
"Alright, I can investigate the murderer, but I need someone to help me." As she spoke, her gaze fell on Chu Han beside her, and her implication was clear - she needed Chu Han's assistance.
Feng Qingchu turned his gaze to Chu Han, his eyes cold and piercing. Chu Han pursed her lips and slightly lowered her head, evading the gaze he cast over her.
Is he really that innocent? Didn't he say a word?
Then, he heard Feng Qingxue's cold and detached refusal: "Everyone in the mansion has their own affairs, no one can help you."
Shen Yunxi suppressed the urge to curse, took a deep breath, and then looked up at Feng Qingchen and said: "I'm new to the Wang Fu, I don't know anyone or anything about the Wang Fu. You won't let Manager Chu come over to help me, can you at least assign a little maid or servant to assist me?"
Looking at Shen Yunxi's face which was slightly red with anger, Feng Qingchen's thin lips were pursed, with a hint of a smile that was not quite a smile.
Then, he said faintly, "Alright! I'll do as you say. Chu Han, later assign someone to Princess Wang."
Chu Huan, who had been looking elsewhere, finally withdrew her gaze and bowed respectfully after hearing the command: "Understood, Your Highness."
Feng Qingchen nodded slightly and said to Shen Yunxi, who still had a hint of anger on her face: "I hope you won't disappoint this king's expectations!"
Having said that, he turned around and left with a flick of his sleeve.
Long Wu slightly bowed his head towards Shen Yunxi and followed closely behind her.
Looking at Feng Qingxue's distant figure, Chu Han turned to Shen Yunxi and asked, "Princess, did the person you assigned go directly to Suizhu Xuan to find you?"
"It's best if this person understands Ning Meng, then have her wait at the Shuiyu Pavilion first." Shen Yunxi glanced at Ning Meng's corpse and said: "I won't be returning that quickly yet."
Chu Han furrowed her brow and asked, "Did the princess find any other problems?"
Shen Yunxi shook his head and said, "No. I just want to take another careful look, don't want to miss any clues, or overlook any details, otherwise it won't be helpful in finding the real murderer."
Chu Han nodded calmly and said: "Then Princess Wang, please follow me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he ordered the servant beside him to carry Ning Meng's body away, and Shen Yunxi followed behind.
On the road, Shuang'er followed Shen Yunxi's side, looking at the few people in front of her, gently tugging on Shen Yunxi's sleeve and whispering: "Miss, aren't you afraid?"
Shen Yunxi turned to look at Shuang'er's slightly pale face, smiled lightly and replied: "If you're afraid, then go back to Su Yu Xuan first. I'll be right back."
"But..."
"You'd better just leave now. Anyway, you won't be of any help to me even if you go there. If I need anything, I'll directly ask Butler Chu to handle it."
Jian Er's heart was filled with hesitation, but Shen Yunxi cut her off and said.
Hearing this, Shuang'er thought for a moment, then nodded her head, "Mm, alright. I'll return to Suì Yù Xuān and wait for you."
After Shen Yunxi nodded lightly, Shuang'er turned around and returned to Su Yu Xuan.
With Chu Han's help, Shen Yunxi had all the tools for inspection. Afterwards, she went into the morgue and didn't come out until it was almost noon, when she emerged with a stack of inspection reports.
She looked up and gazed at the sun that had already passed her head, Shen Yunxi stretched her waist, before leaving, she went to Chu Han first, told him the cause of Ning Meng's death and the time of death, and then headed towards Suishou Xuan.
From a distance, she saw that Xiao Er was standing at the door of Su Yu Xuan, gazing at her from afar. Beside her stood another maid, who looked somewhat familiar. As soon as they saw her return, they immediately came forward to greet her, taking the inspection report from her hand and saying: "Miss, why did you take so long to come back?"
Shen Yunxi smiled slightly and said, "Inspection is not that simple. Every place must be carefully examined, and no place can be missed."
"Oh." Shuang'er nodded as if she understood, then pulled over the maid beside her and said: "Miss, this is Chu Guan's housekeeper who has been assigned to help you, named Qiao Yu."
Shen Yunxi looked at Qiao Yu and nodded slightly, wondering if she would find her somewhat familiar.
Qiao Yu immediately stepped forward, bowed her head and saluted: "Slave Qiao Yu has seen the princess."
"Get up," Shen Yunxi said softly. "There's no need to be too formal in the Shuiyu Pavilion." As she spoke, she walked into the pavilion.
As soon as they entered the hall, Shuang'er put down the inspection report and said to Shen Yunxi: "Miss, please sit down and rest for a while. I'll go get your meal right away."
As soon as she finished speaking, without waiting for Shen Yunxi's consent, Shuang'er turned around and was about to leave the hall, but was stopped by Shen Yunxi. She said: "Shuang'er, first prepare some water for me to bathe, I'll eat dinner later." After staying in the morgue for so long, she had to clean up first.
"En, good." She responded and then went to prepare water with Qiao Yu, while Shen Yunxi rubbed her slightly sore shoulder and took the inspection report into the inner room.
After bathing and changing into a clean set of clothes, when she came out from the inner chamber, both Shuang'er had just brought up the dishes.
As soon as she came out, Shuang'er hastily said: "Miss, it's so late, you must be hungry, come and have a meal quickly."
Shen Yunxi responded with a sound, sat down beside the table, smiled lightly and said: "I'm a bit hungry." After finishing speaking, she picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
However, while eating, she didn't idle around. After taking a few mouthfuls of rice, she raised her head and said to Qiao Yu: "Qiao Yu, tell me about Ning Meng first. After I finish eating, you can take me to the mansion for a stroll."
"Miss, you've been tired for half a day, can't you rest first and go investigate tomorrow?" Shuang Er said sympathetically beside her.
Shen Yunxi shook his head and said, "No way, the sooner we catch the murderer, the better. Besides, I'm not tired at all, resting for a while is enough."
"But you still have a wound on your shoulder?" Shuang'er said again. Shen Yunxi's injury was discovered during breakfast this morning, and she only knew what had happened to her last night afterwards.
Shen Yunxi's eating motion paused for a moment, and he glanced at his left shoulder, saying: "I've already taken care of it while bathing earlier, don't worry."
Then, he said to Qiao Yu: "Qiao Yu, you first tell me about Ning Meng's affairs, the more detailed the better."
