Chapter 128 - DUAN YU AS THE GODLY DOCTOR (1/2)

ONE of Duan Yu's Temporary Skills was [Diagnose].  Yes, a very cheesy name for a skill.  But it does the job, so he didn't have any complaints.  It could check the status of any NPCs body.  Take the old prince for example; When Duan Yu used [Diagnose] on him, it told him about his poisoned status and also the kind of poison currently in his body.  He's sure that this skill could also work on a dead body.

And so he did.

When he's done, a screen appeared in front of him.

Body Status: [Dead]

Time of Death: [1 hour ago]

Cause of Death: [Poison]

Poison?  Then wouldn't this mean that the second young miss actually didn't hang herself?  She was poisoned first and then hanged to make it look like suicide.  He bet the poison that killed her was the same poison ingested by Prince Lin Rong.  The colorless and tasteless poison that could only be found in the Kingdom of Wei.

So, even this was connected to Wei?

But why would they kill this second young miss?  If he's not mistaken, the girl was the daughter of the eldest son of Prince Lin Rong with his legal wife.  What's the connection of this sheltered miss to the conspiracy involving Wei?

He stood up, the mother of the second miss was still going on with her tirade.  This time, he didn't ignore her.

”Your daughter, she didn't kill herself.  She was poisoned,” he said and then observed the reaction of the women inside the room.

The mother and the sister, as expected, looked surprised and astounded.  They even stopped crying.  The maids also appeared a bit surprised.  There was one woman who snorted, as if what he said was just a joke.  Then there was also one woman who looked like she's conflicted about something.  Both women were wearing expensive clothing which could only mean that they're both ladies of the manor.  Either a concubine or another wife.

The mother suddenly grabbed the helm of Duan Yu's sleeve.  ”Is it true?  My daughter didn't kill herself?”

”Sister, don't tell me you're taking the words of a stranger so seriously?” the one looking at them earlier like they were a joke said.

The mother glared at her.  ”Shut up!  Don't think that I didn't know how happy you are seeing my daughter dead!  What, do you think with her gone your daughter would be able to marry the young master of An family?  Dream!  A girl born from a concubine.  The An family would never accept her!”

The other woman's face rose red in humiliation.  Then she stood up and raised her chin.  ”At least my daughter is still alive.”

”You--!”

The woman looked at the corpse in derision, then stomped out of the room.

Duan Yu felt like he just watched a drama set in the ancient times.  The woman who just left was most likely a concubine of Prince Lin Rong's eldest son.  Thus the scene just now.

”That woman.  It must be that woman who killed my Xiao Lan!”

”Mother, please calm down,” the younger sister said before turning to Duan Yu.  ”This gentleman, please tell us your identity before saying such a statement.”

”I'm a doctor travelling with the crown prince.  If you still think that my identity is questionable, then you can go and ask him,” he said.

”Then, are you sure?  Did someone really kill my daughter?” the mother asked, tugging at the helm of his sleeve again.

He pulled it back.  ”Yes.”
