Misunderstanding

  Feng Qingchen felt like he was going to suffocate from frustration.

  In this godforsaken place, offending anyone at random would make them a big shot. Those people could humiliate her as they pleased, kill her if they wanted to, without ever having to worry about breaking the law.

  Donglingzi Luo is, the Empress Dowager is, Su Wenqing is, and now this Shuntian Prefecture is also.

  How unlucky must she be to have offended so many powerful people?

  Ah...

  Feng Qingchen's heart has already turned murderous.

  Feng Qingchen's anger, Zhou Xing didn't notice at all, his face was red and hot, his eyes were shining, he dared not look at Feng Qingchen, only instinctively shaking his head: "No, no, don't know."

  At this time, Zhou Xing suddenly remembered the scandal about Feng Qingchen at the city gate a few days ago.

  It's not that Zhou Xing doesn't remember things, it's just that Feng Qing has a calm and composed demeanor, making it impossible for people to associate her with the rumored "Miss Feng".

  There isn't a woman who, having encountered such a thing, can still smile and jump about. This Feng Qingchen is truly an anomaly.

  Zhou Xing nodded vigorously, affirming his own views. However, when he reached the pinnacle of life and looked back on the past, he finally understood that his initial evaluation was far from accurate. Feng Qingchen wasn't an outcast, but a monstrous genius.

  Even Feng Qingchen, who was normally bold, couldn't help but be cautious when faced with such a situation. However, seeing Zhou Xing's worried expression, Feng Qingchen still kindly comforted him:

  "Don't worry, nothing will happen, let them wait for a moment, I'll change clothes and go out."

  One can lose face in front of one's own family, but cannot afford to be impolite in front of outsiders.

  She regards Zhou Xing as her family member.

  "Alright, I'll go now." Zhou Xing looked at Feng Qingchen with a worried expression and ran out quickly.

  At the same time, he secretly decided in his heart that he must buy a concubine, otherwise he would not dare to come to the inner courtyard again.

  Feng Qingchen changed into a good set of clothes and came to the main hall, where she saw two familiar faces: "Huh, why are you two here again?"

  "Heh heh!" The two officials smiled foolishly and immediately stood up.

  These two men were the officials who went to the Feng Mansion that day and asked Feng Qingchen to collect the body.

  "What can I do for you?" Feng Qingchen asked calmly.

  No choice, looking at the two officials' appearance, Feng Qingchen estimated that she must have guessed wrong. If it were really that what's-his-name Yan Gongzi's old man who took action, these officials wouldn't be so polite.

  Dong Ling Zi Luo, what's up with that, I'm really sorry, I just misunderstood you.

  Feng Qingchen silently said in her heart.

  Achoo! Achoo!

  Outside the Imperial City, in front of the crowd at Donglingzi Station, someone is constantly rubbing their nose.

  "Your Highness?" The guard behind him hastily stepped aside, blocking Dongling Ziluo while wearing a panicked expression.

  Yuwen General defeated the Southern Ling Dynasty and returned triumphantly. Today, he moved his troops back to the capital, and the Ninth Imperial Uncle led the civil and military officials to welcome him outside the city gate.

  At this time, if something goes wrong, it would be disrespect to the meritorious officials. If those civil officials submit a memorial to the emperor, even the most favored imperial son cannot escape punishment.

  "It's nothing." Dong Lingzi Luo waved his hand, but in his heart, he secretly thought that since he was not ill or in pain, someone must be scolding him.

  Then, Feng Qingchen's shadow unfortunately appeared in Dong Lingsi Luo's mind.

  Just as Donglingzi Luo was thinking about this possibility, a messenger came to report that Yuwen General's army was still 20 miles away from the city gate.

  Dong Lingzi Luo hastily straightened up and gathered his thoughts.

  ……

  Feng Qingchen sat calmly in the main seat, picked up the cup on the table and started drinking, not thinking that being found by the government officer was a big deal.

  Zhou Xing nodded secretly, this woman's mental quality is really good, she was worried that the Shun Tian Fu would find her trouble, but she remained calm and composed.

  He should have had a heart like Feng Qingchen's, perhaps he wouldn't have ended up in this state.

  Alas... it's all about timing and fate.

  Zhou Xing shook his head and quietly retreated, as a low-born person, he still felt psychological pressure when seeing an official.

  "Didn't you say it was urgent? What's this about? Speak up." Feng Qingchen said, looking at the two officials who had been silent for half a day.

  The two officials looked at each other, and the slightly older one hesitated for a moment before standing up: "Miss Feng, I've come this time to ask for your help."

  "Help? What can I help you with?" Feng Qingchen raised her head in surprise.

  However, I felt relieved in my heart.

  It seems that Yan Gongzi's old father didn't dare to move her, and Donglingzi Luo this scumbag still has some credibility.

  Achoo...

  Something sad happened again.

  The official's face flashed a hint of shame, and he murmured.

  It turned out that early this morning, Shun Tianfu received a murder case. The two-month-old eldest son of the second house of the Xie family died, and the suspect was likely to be the legitimate wife of the second house.

  The so-called eldest son of a concubine is the first boy born to a non-legal wife, either a small concubine or a side room.

  Typical big house can't hold down the son of a concubine, ruthless and tragic tale of a wealthy family.

  The Xie family's second house may not have any power or influence, but the Xie family is a century-old aristocratic family that has been around longer than the Dongling dynasty which hasn't even reached its hundredth year since its founding.

  Such a family is low-key, but it has considerable power and influence, with many branches and leaves, and people in all walks of life. In addition to the Xie family, there is also a Wang family in Dongling, which is another century-old family.

  The Wang and Xie families raised their legitimate sons and daughters no worse than the emperor's princes and princesses.

  The Minister of the Ministry of Households in the Dongling dynasty was a member of the Xie family, and one of the four consorts, the virtuous consort, also came from the Xie family.

  As soon as this case was reported, the Shuntian Prefecture immediately opened a trial, but after half a day of trial, no result could be reached.

  The concubine insisted that the last person to see the child was the wife, and the doctor could also testify that the child was healthy. The autopsy result also showed that the cause of death was suffocation.

  Logically, the evidence and witnesses were all there, but his legitimate wife refused to acknowledge it. No matter how much torture was used, it was of no use. A weak woman was beaten until she had only one breath left, yet she still refused to sign a confession.

  The legitimate wife of the second house is also not a person without background. She is a collateral member of the Wang family, and as soon as something happens, her maid goes to find someone from the Wang family to take charge.

  This is a great situation.

  A case of murder, but in the end it became a matter of face for both the Wang and Xie families.

  Shun Tianfu is a head and two big, wanting to enter the palace to report, but thinking that today Yuwen General returns to court, this matter must be reported up, estimating that his newly brought black hat will fall off.

  Just as he was at a loss for what to do, his subordinates suddenly brought up Feng Qingchen and recounted in detail the events that had occurred in the morgue that day.

  This matter, Su Wenqing had instructed early on, must not be spread outside.

  But in the end, it's all about merit and achievement, and officials would never let such an opportunity slip away.

  Then, Fu Yi seemed to have grasped the last straw and hastily ordered an official to invite Feng Qingchen for help.

  And again and again, politely, more politely, but must invite people in.

  "What is your honorable surname?" After hearing this, Feng Qingchen asked a question that had nothing to do with the matter.

  Although the official was surprised, he still replied formally: "The governor's surname is Wei, his name is Xuerang, and his style name is..."

  "Alright, no need to say any more." Feng Qingchen heard that it wasn't a surname Yan and waved his hand to interrupt.

  "Master Wei? What is he doing as the magistrate of Suizhou Prefecture?"

  "Five days ago, former Shuntian Prefecture official Yi Siyan was dismissed and sent away." The official vaguely guessed what Feng Qingchen wanted to know and hastily told him.

  "Oh..." Feng Qingchen nodded, stood up, and bowed to the two officials: "Two officers, I understand what you're saying, but sorry, I won't be able to help. The matter with Su family's second young master was purely an accident, a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse. Two officers, take your time, I won't see you off."

  She is a surgeon, not a forensic doctor, she can only cure diseases and save people, but cannot autopsy and judge cases.

  What's the use of her being alive if everyone else is dead?

  To say nothing of, this matter is obviously unprofitable and troublesome, no matter what the outcome is, she will offend one side.

  This newly appointed Wei gentleman did not dare offend the Wang and Xie families, so he let Feng Qingchen be the scapegoat.

  "Hmph... So she really is a brainless, pampered young lady, just like everyone says."

  Feng Qingchen rolled her eyes in annoyance.

  She'd rather die than get involved in this matter today; if she's not careful, she'll stir up trouble.

  Alas, things in this world can't always go as smoothly as one wishes...
