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

”Does that mean that someone hanged my sister?”

Duan Yu didn't answer.  If this had something to do with Wei, then maybe one of their spies were hanging around here.  He didn't want to alert them about the fact that he could detect their undetectable poison.  It might cause trouble to their investigation.  Which could only extend their time of solving this thing.  Something that he and his temporary team mates wouldn't want.

”Madame, I'm not sure if this was connected,” the woman who looked like she was struggling to say something said.  ”Earlier, I was walking near the bamboo forest when I met the young miss.  She seemed very upset.  She passed by me without even looking at me.  I was curious, so I walked to the direction where she came from.  And then I saw it.”

”What did you see?  Tell me!” the mother shouted when the woman stopped what she was about to say.

”It's Young Master An in a compromising situation with one of young miss's maid.  That girl named Meigui!”

The mother lost her balance and almost fell over.  If the younger sister didn't support her, she might have already collapsed.

”Aunt, please, don't talk nonsense,” the younger sister said.

”I wish it's all nonsense.  But it's what I saw.  I'm sorry,” the woman said as if she was also in pain.

”Those cheating bastards!” bellowed the mother.  ”I will kill them!”

Then she suddenly dashed out of the room.

”Mother!”

The younger sister, of course, followed quickly.

The other woman was also about to follow but Duan Yu stopped her.  ”At what time did you say you saw the young miss running away from this place of rendezvous?”

The woman seemed to be taken aback by his question.  Probably because she didn't expect for him to ask that.  ”It's- I don't know, about 40 minutes ago.  Just before the banquet started.”

Then she ran out, as if worried that he would ask more questions.

Duan Yu smiled.  Because the woman just lied.  According to his [Diagnose] skill, the second young miss died an hour ago.  Which meant that she was already dead by the time this woman mentioned.  Then it would have been impossible for the woman to encounter her.  So, why would she lie?

Well, what she said was probably not all a lie.  Since according to what Noctis said earlier, the fiancé of the young miss did have an affair with a maid.  But that was unimportant.  The fact was, she couldn't have seen the young miss at the time she mentioned.  Then why lie to the mother about it?  Why tell it in a way that would totally put the blame on the two a.d.u.l.terers?

If Duan Yu didn't find that suspicious, then he might as well tell everyone that he didn't bring his IQ with him to this game.

Then he turned to one of the maids.  ”Who is that woman just now?”

The maid appeared perplexed by his question but still answered, ”She's the wife of the second master.”

The second master should be the younger son of Prince Lin Rong.  ”What's her background?”

”She's a former courtesan from Yuexing Pavilion.”

He raised the corner of his lips.  Now, wasn't that interesting?
