Peerless Daughter: Divine Doctor Third Miss

Chapter 3
"Moreover, the lips are purple, the eyes are sunken, the eye circles and nails are black, obviously poisoned by the soul-severing grass."

"The soul-severing herb is very poisonous, and the person who takes it will not live beyond two hours, but this woman's body has residual heat, and it is obvious that she has died for less than an hour."

"My lord, please don't tell me that yesterday I ordered my wife to take the medicine in Baicao Hall without any problems, but the poison just came out this morning."

Tan Xinting looked at the man with a sneer.

After hearing Tan Xinting's words, the shopkeeper of Baicaotang looked at her gratefully.

Tan Xinting didn't reply his gratitude, but just took a glance and still stared at the man.

The onlookers also praised Tan Xinting endlessly.

Tan Xinting then asked: "May I ask if your wife has had any contact with other people since the son came home yesterday morning?"

"No. My wife didn't go out because she didn't feel well after returning home. She only saw me."

Although the man was curious why Tan Xinting asked such a strange question, he still answered.

Tan Xinting said unhurriedly after saluting to Jing Zhaoyin.

"My lord, this man poisoned his first wife to death, I hope your lord will investigate clearly."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked and obviously expressed doubts about Tan Xinting's words.

But Jing Zhaoyin still kept that posture motionless.

The man hurriedly kowtowed to Jing Zhaoyin and said, "My lord, the grassroots are wronged."

"Girl, I have no grievances with you in the past, and I have no grievances in recent days. I don't know why you want to frame me."

"I treat my wife kindly, but my wife somehow got poisoned."

"Caomin was also confused for a moment, immersed in the death of his wife and couldn't help himself, so he wrongly blamed the shopkeeper of Baicaotang."

"But the Caomin really didn't poison Madam, I hope you will uphold justice for the Caomin."

The man's every sentence was reasonable, as if he had really been wronged greatly.

Everyone also felt that what the man said was reasonable.

After all, it is normal to feel sad when a relative dies in the family. It is inevitable that he will lose his judgment and wrong Baicaotang, but it is impossible to talk about the poisoning of his wife.

So everyone's good impression of Tan Xinting was instantly shattered, and there were voices all around accusing her of wronging a man.

At this moment, the man on the second floor of the Manyue Building quietly relieved the acupuncture points of Jing Zhaoyin and his subordinates again.

Tan Xinting smiled slightly, walked up to the woman, and gently rolled up her sleeves.

Those large and small wounds were immediately exposed to everyone, some were new wounds, some were old wounds, some had scabbed over, and some even became scars.

Everyone sighed and expressed their sympathy for the women.

"Even if there is an injury, it doesn't prove that I did it. Maybe someone else beat my wife. How can the girl determine that I did it just based on the wound?"

The man hastily defended himself.

"Leaving aside those old wounds, the latest wound was caused within two hours."

"The young master has just admitted that since you came home yesterday, your wife has only had contact with you, and this wound cannot be caused by me. It is obviously caused by someone else's beating."

"So, son, you should go with Mr. Jing Zhaoyin."

Tan Xinting said calmly, ignoring the eyes of those onlookers.

After hearing Tan Xinting's words, the man knew that he could no longer defend himself, so he stopped talking.

It is true that he accidentally beat her to death during the quarrel with his wife.

In order to get rid of his crimes, he followed a strange man's suggestion and gave his wife poison to blame Baicaotang, so that he could get a sum of money.

He is naturally willing, not to mention the help of Mr. Jing Zhaoyin.

He only needs to identify and collect money, so why not do it.

Everyone clapped their hands and praised, that Jing Zhaoyin also shook his head helplessly and took the man away, pretending to be righteous and announcing to everyone.

"Bring him back and question him carefully, we definitely can't wrong Baicaotang easily."

Before Jing Zhaoyin left, he turned around and glanced at Tan Xinting, and then looked around again, as if he was looking for who had ordered his acupuncture points.

When he saw the man on the second floor of Baicao Hall, his face was full of shock at first, and then he quickly bowed and saluted from the air before turning around and leaving.

In order to thank Tan Xinting, the shopkeeper of Baicaotang immediately gave Tan Xinting a lot of medicinal materials she needed.

This was a big profit for Tan Xinting, so she happily took her medicinal materials and prepared to go home.

Then everything at the gate of Baicao Hall returned to normal, as if nothing had happened here.

Only the little blood left by the woman on the ground was unusually abrupt, as if telling the difficulty of the matter...

After Tan Xinting left, the owner of the pair of eyes who witnessed the whole process waved towards the darkness, and suddenly a black figure flashed past.

Tan Xinting seemed to feel the gaze being watched, and suddenly looked towards the second floor of Manyue Building.

The man didn't seem to mind at all, he didn't look back, but still looked at her, so his eyes met.

I saw the appearance of the man in the second floor who was seventeen or eighteen years old.

The jade tree is facing the wind, fresh and handsome, with long eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a nose like a gall, and delicate skin like a woman, just like Pan An reborn.

Wearing a snow-white gown with straight breasts, a wide belt with a moon-white auspicious cloud pattern around her waist, and a jade pendant of excellent texture hanging on her side, as if she had stepped out of a painting.

Yi Chen, the son of Yi Mansion.

This country is a country of lacquer carving, which has just been unified for more than a dozen years. During the unification, Yi Chen's father made great achievements. During the war, he saved the emperor's life many times, but unfortunately died of illness on the bed.

In order to thank General Yi for his achievements, the emperor of Lacquer Diao gave Yi Mansion to Yi Chen, who was only three years old at the time, in Qiyang City, the capital city.

It was promised that after Yi Chen's sixteenth birthday, he could go to court to participate in politics, but there were no rules for him to go to court.

That is to say, he can go to court according to his own wishes, but so far he has not made early court, maybe he has no intention of court affairs.

In addition, the emperor personally sent an edict on his [-]th birthday, saying that Yichen could be named king with a different surname at [-] o'clock.

All the people in the city knew about this, and secretly lamented that Yi Chen had a good father.

After sorting out the information about Yi Chen in her mind, Tan Xinting couldn't help but want to scold, she didn't expect that in ancient times, it was also an era of fighting for fathers.

There is such a good father who received such treatment at the age of three.

I'm afraid this treatment is almost the same as that of the emperor's own son.

While Tan Xinting was watching Yi Chen, Yi Chen was also looking at her.

I saw Tan Xinting's big, clear eyes were lively and cute, and her flickering eyelashes dimmed her eyes from time to time, adding a bit of playfulness.

But there is a self-confidence and calmness in those eyes that don't match their age, as if they can see through other people's minds at a glance.

Although separated by a veil, it did not affect Yi Chen's observation at all.

Looking at it, I don't know what Yi Chen is thinking in his heart, and the corners of his mouth are curved slightly.

Tan Xinting knew that Yi Chen was deeply loved by the emperor, and when she saw the smile he evoked, she smiled politely at Yi Chen.

The two just looked at each other like no one else, as if there were only two of them in the world.

However, Tan Xinting stared at him only because she felt that it was impolite to withdraw her gaze in advance, and she felt guilty. In order to show that she was not afraid, she kept staring at Yi Chen.

After staring at each other for a long time, Tan Xinting suddenly woke up as if she suddenly thought of something, and lightly closed her eyes.

Before she looked away, she clearly saw Yi Chen lightly opened her thin lips, and said three words silently: "You lost."

Tan Xinting, who refused to admit defeat, glared at Yi Chen, very dissatisfied.

On the other hand, it seems that the legendary ruthless Master Yi Chen is so... er... approachable?
Grounded?
No, to be exact... childish.

Thinking of this, the corners of Tan Xinting's mouth twitched unconsciously, then she shook her head and rushed towards Tan's mansion.

At this time, a good show was also going on in the Tan Mansion.
