Chapter 529: Chapter 531: Investigating the Case_1

"Thirteen can weave, fourteen learns to tailor. Fifteen can pluck the harp, sixteen recites poetry. Seventeen becomes your wife, eternally bearing sadness. You are an official, guarding your integrity steadfastly. Your humble concubine resides in an empty room, as we seldom meet each day..."

As she read the end where one of the spouses jumps into a river and the other hangs themselves, tears filled Nan Feng’s eyes again.

As she continued reading, she found herself propped up on the bed, then later lying down. Eventually, she fell asleep.

She should have been anxious being confined here, but with Ye-Ge’s arrangements, Nan Feng spent her time as if it was leisurely.

...

That evening, it was Ye-Ge who brought Nan Feng her meal.

It wasn’t prisoner food, but what Ye-Ge usually ate in the Inspection Mansion, complete with vegetables and chicken legs. Both ate heartily.

Ye-Ge had returned to Ping County that day and summoned Li Moxiu’s family, the staff at the shop, and all the medical halls supplying the materials. Once the forensic doctor’s results were ready, another public face-to-face would be held.

Ye-Ge mentioned that this case was too subtle. Nothing could be overlooked.

While eating, Nan Feng said, "I feel that the sores on my female customers’ faces are similar to those I encountered in Daping Village. What do you think, Ye-Ge?"

"The forensic doctor said it is likely a poison called Cang Song."

"Yes, the forensic doctors in the Provincial City are better informed. They might know. I wanted to mention it in the court today, but I held back. I can’t appear to know everything. That would draw suspicion, as if I once had these sores and wanted to get revenge by infecting others," Nan Feng revealed.

"You are definitely not that kind of person. When we get the results from the forensic doctor, we can share our suspicions about the Cang Song poison and see if your previous remedy works," Ye-Ge said.

While he was more anxious about Nan Feng’s situation than anyone, he knew he had to remain calm, so he maintained a calm facade, as if everything was under control.

His demeanor reassured Nan Feng. As long as he wasn’t overly worried, she felt there was nothing to be concerned about.

"Will we have to wait three days?" Nan Feng asked.

"Investigations take time. We need to be patient," Ye-Ge comforted Nan Feng.

Nan Feng gave a faint smile: "I am all right now. But, was there any impact in Ping County?"

"Not yet. The cosmetics sold in Ping County are from the previous stock. The new batch hasn’t been sold yet. I made Li Moxiu destroy it. Xiaoqing returned with me and she is with Li Moxiu now."

"I always trust your judgment," Nan Feng said, then pointed at the quilt on the bed. "Wu Yang got me your quilt. What will you do tonight?"

Ye-Ge looked at Nan Feng.

He stared at her intently.

Okay, she got his hint.

The bed in the detention room may be small, but it seems to have no problem accommodating two people.

But isn’t Ye-Ge afraid of his colleagues gossiping?

From his expression, he didn’t seem to be.

...

After waiting for three long days, the day of the court session finally arrived.

In court, Nan Feng saw those women again. Their face sores were festering, making them look miserable. Their anger intensified when they saw Nan Feng. If it weren’t for the officials holding them back, they might have torn into her.

Nan Feng simply said, "Don’t worry. The sores on your faces can definitely be cured. I guarantee it!"

The court session was about to begin.
