Brocade clothing

Chapter 2
From the moment Chu Qing entered the room, Master Zhao has been staring at her. When she got closer and saw her too young face clearly, Master Zhao's face became even darker.

"Are you the apprentice of the lame Zhang?"

"Yes." Chu Qing said neither humble nor overbearing.

She has seen many questioning eyes, and she has experienced many in her previous life, and she is even more used to it now.

Master Zhao looked her up and down sharply with his eyes like a falcon, and just when Chu Qing thought he was going to speak out to test her, he heard him speak.

"The man stopped in the West Wing, you've verified it for me!" When he said this, Mr. Zhao's hard face showed a bit of weakness that couldn't be concealed, but he still couldn't hide his threat.

It could be seen that the deceased must be someone he cared about very much.

Chu Qing didn't say a word, and went straight into the wing without looking at the women covered in blood.

Don't look at what you shouldn't look at, don't care about what you shouldn't care about, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, this is the principle of her conduct in two lives.

Time is life, efficiency is money, this is the motto that Chu Qing and his two generations have always believed in.If you have the time to talk nonsense, you might as well look at the corpse a few more times.

Pushing open the door of the west wing, a gust of rainy wind blew in. The candles in the room suddenly flickered and became flickering, exuding a somewhat gloomy atmosphere.

Chu Qing pushed open the door of the wing room, saw the corpse on the bed, and his expression changed immediately.

The abdomen of the female corpse was swollen high, obviously out of proportion to the rest of the body. It was the cold spring season, and the corpse seemed to be freshly dead. It was definitely not caused by the accumulation of rotten gas in the abdomen.

After a while, she came to a conclusion.

"She is pregnant!?"

Not daring to look at Chu Qing's sharp gaze, let alone the horrific corpse in the room, the mother in charge standing outside the door turned her face away.

"Yes...it's almost full term."

With one dead body and two lives, Chu Qing finally understood Master Zhao's anger at this moment.

Without thinking about it, she opened the door and said loudly into the yard: "I need a knife and scissors, hurry up!"

knife?scissors?
Everyone in the yard was stunned.

Isn't mortuary just scrubbing corpses, dressing them up and so on?What do you want a knife and scissors for?
Mr. Zhao was the first to come back to his senses, his originally ugly face immediately sank, and he said sharply, "What are you going to do?"

Chu Qing pursed her lips tightly, and said in a word: "Dissection, corpse."

Hearing these two words, everyone's expressions changed, and Mr. Zhao was even more angry.

"You little bastard who doesn't know what to do!" The anger that had been accumulated for a long time was finally completely ignited by Chu Qing's shocking request. Master Zhao raised the whip in his hand and whipped it towards Chu Qing.

Seeing that the whip with a strong smell of blood was about to fall on her body, Chu Qing moved her footsteps lightly, and her figure deftly avoided the thunderous blow.

Looking at the enraged Master Zhao, Chu Qingqiao's face turned frosty, and she said coldly: "Do you still want a child!?"

This sentence was like a spell, making Mr. Zhao, who had already raised his whip for the second time, withdraw his hand abruptly.

"You... what did you say?" He was shocked and looked at Chu Qing in disbelief.

Chu Qing didn't want to talk any more nonsense, but just repeated her request: "I need knives and scissors, hurry up."

Mr. Zhao stared at her face, as if he was looking for something trustworthy, and seemed to be making some difficult choices. After a while, he burst out a few words: "Go and get it to her!"

Don't care to ask any more questions, after a quick check, Chu Qing suddenly turned her head, and said to the door, "Hurry up and prepare hot water!"

"Hot water?" The mother in charge couldn't believe her ears for a moment. Isn't it an autopsy? Why do you need hot water?
But seeing that Chu Qing went back to play with the corpse again, the mother in charge didn't dare to ask any more questions, so she turned around and left.

In the west wing room, Chu Qing took out a strangely shaped sharp knife from the toolbox, and cut steadily along the midline between the navel and the pubic symphysis of the corpse.

A vertical cesarean section is the fastest way to remove the baby.

Subcutaneous fat, fascia, abdominal muscle, peritoneal layer, uterine muscle layer, and finally the amniotic fluid cavity. Every time a layer is cut down, Chu Qing's hands become more steady and careful, because at this moment, every inadvertent movement has May scratch baby.

The mother in charge had just entered the hospital after fetching hot water, when she heard a very faint cry of a baby from the west wing.

In the sound of the rain that gradually became smaller, the cry of the baby became louder and louder. Those servants who were kneeling in the yard like clay puppets were now staring at the wing room where the cry came from, and everyone had a look on their faces. Full of shock and dismay.

Mr. Zhao strode out, but when he reached the door, he stopped suddenly. His eyes were fixed on the door, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

In the astonished and shocked eyes of everyone, she looked flatly at the mother in charge who opened her mouth in disbelief.

But Chu Qing seemed completely unaware of the nervousness of others, and focused all his attention on what he was doing.

It seemed that after a long time, a small baby with blood all over his body was finally taken out from the abdomen of the female corpse.

Everyone stared at the baby in Chu Qing's hands, hardly daring to breathe, the yard was so quiet that a needle could be heard.

If it was a stillbirth that was taken out after all the troubles, the master would definitely not spare this daring woman!

At this time, Chu Qing held the baby's ankle, lifted the baby upside down, raised her hand, and patted the baby's back hard a few times.

"Wash the child well so that it won't pass the dead breath."

The air inside and outside the room seemed to be frozen, even the tortured women forgot to moan, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Chu Qing's movements.

Master Zhao's face suddenly changed.

Seeing that the child is no longer breathing, why do you want to slap the baby so hard?Could it be that this woman is a lunatic?
Just as he was about to curse, he saw the bruised baby move and burst into tears.

The baby's face was blue and purple, but his small mouth was opened wide. While breathing the air greedily, he let out bursts of crying. He didn't realize how terrifying the way he came into this world was.

The loud crying broke the deathly silence in the courtyard, everyone's expressions were relieved, and several servants even wept with joy.

"It's alive! It's really alive!"

"He's still a young master!"

"Wuuu, Aunt Mei has a spirit in the sky, protecting the young master's safe birth!"

The one with the most excited expression in the crowd was naturally Mr. Zhao, but this excitement did not have the joy of being a father, on the contrary, it seemed... the excitement of surviving a desperate situation.

He trembled his lips slightly, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't say it. A big man who was full of hostility had a little bit of water in his eyes at this moment.

Chu Qing found a clean cloth, wrapped the child up, and handed it to Master Zhao.

"Wash the child clean, so as not to overwhelm the corpse."

Master Zhao lowered his head and looked at the crying baby in his infancy, with an excited and joyful expression.

"It's a boy! God will never kill me!" Mr. Zhao said something puzzling.

He greedily stared at the baby's small face, and after a long while reluctantly handed the baby to the mother in charge: "Did you hear what Brother Chu said? Go and wash the baby well."

Chu Qing said nothing more, turned around and walked to the corpse.

The transition from being a little bitch to Brother Chu was really fast, but she was not in the mood to argue with Mr. Zhao. After the baby was taken out, she still had a lot of work to do.

Master Zhao looked at her busy back, hesitant to speak.

After a while, he seemed to have made up his mind, and asked in a deep voice, "Brother Chu, can you find out what kind of poison Aunt Mei is poisoned?"

"Poisoned?" Chu Qing paused for a while, and subconsciously looked at the unfinished corpse, "How do you know she died of poisoning?"

Mr. Zhao seemed a bit embarrassed to speak, and after a while he said in a low voice: "The old man died early, and the concubines have been at odds with each other. Ever since Aunt Mei became pregnant, there have been several incidents in succession. They either secretly gnawed beans or secretly added red to the diet. Luckily, nothing major happened, but this time..."

Once the conversation starts, it will be easy to talk later.

Master Zhao sighed heavily: "If Brother Chu hadn't acted this time, this child would have gone with Mei Niang. Although the family ugliness should not be publicized, if this matter is not investigated clearly, the old man will feel really uneasy, and still I hope brother Chu can help me with this."

For a person like Mr. Zhao to condescend to talk to a woman from a humble background like Chu Qing, it is a great honor to the sky.

But after he talked for a long time, Chu Qing seemed to have never heard of it, and kept his back to him, silently tidying up the corpse.

Master Zhao waited for a long time before Chu Qing threw a word without looking back.

"She didn't die from poisoning."

"What?!" This conclusion was like a bolt from the blue to Mr. Zhao, he stared at Chu Qing's back with gaping eyes, and asked subconsciously, "How do you know?"

Chu lightly raised his blood-stained hands, turned around, and looked directly at Master Zhao with no expression on his face.

"The mouth, nose, and digestive system of the deceased were clean and there were no bleeding spots. There was no abnormality in the skin, teeth, and hair color, and there were no signs of poisoning around the body." She finished her conclusion in a flat tone, and glanced at Master Zhao indifferently, " How did you find out that she was poisoned to death and tortured?"

These words pointed directly at the scene in the yard, and Master Zhao was stunned. He wanted to say something but he swallowed it back.

But Chu Qing didn't seem to care about his reaction, but turned around and continued to do her work.

There was a moment of silence in the room, and a few weak groans came from a woman outside the window. Master Zhao paused, and then as if he had made up his mind, he asked in a deep voice, "Please, brother Chu, find out the cause of Mei Niang's death, old man Greatful!"

"Yes." Chu Qing kept moving her hands, her voice was as indifferent as before, "I'm afraid you won't want to."
