Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 19

Chapter 19

“Which one of you is Mu Yunyao?” An officer asked .

Mu Yunyao secretly ma.s.saged Su Qing’s palm as an attempt to calm her, though her own face was completely white with fear . Under the gaze of the villagers, she slowly stepped forward . “I am Mu Yunyao . ”

The officer furrowed his eyebrows . This little girl looked extremely pet.i.te and fragile, how could she have the physical power to kill someone? That Dingshan was extremely tall and muscular, he would be able to lift Mu Yunyao with a single hand . Saying that this twelve or thirteen year old girl killed him? Was this a joke?

The coroner had already started carrying out an autopsy on Dingshan’s corpse . After he was done, he looked at the dagger on the floor and walked towards Mu Yunyao with a rather kind and gentle facial expression . “Little lady, may I perhaps take a look at your arm?”

Mu Yunyao contracted further into Su Qing’s arms, but she did not refuse . She trembled as she reached her arm out towards the coroner .

Unrelated males and females had a certain line between them that cannot be crossed . The coroner allowed Su Qing to unwrap the the cloth on Mu Yunyao’s arm . When he saw the wound, he took in a sharp breath . The wound was very deep . The moment the cloth was unwrapped, blood flowed out uncontrollably . He could even see the bone . The person who slashed her arm was very ruthless!

“Brother Liu, how is it?” An officer asked .

The coroner handed the dagger over to the officer, his eyes stared pointedly at Zhang Caizhu .

The officer understood immediately . He immediately looked at Zhang Caizhu guardedly, “If you have any words, you will have to speak it at the court . The Magistrate will make his decision . Bring him along! You……” When the officer looked at Mu Yunyao, his tone became a bit softer, “You are the eye-witness . You will also come along with us . And also, the Li Shi who spoke just now, bring her along too . ”

The officers and the coroner had a total count of four people . They had to carry Dingshan’s corpse and bring along Zhang Caizhu and Mu Yunyao . They simply did not have enough people to carry Li Shi too . Plus, this person was covered in blood . Coroner Liu had borrowed the carriage due to the last minute expedition .

Chief Yang Ming went to order people to use a rack to carry Li Shi and Dingshan and followed the officers to Yan city . This was a big matter that is related to the villagers, and it also involved a mother and her child, of course they could not just leave them be .

Mu Yunyao’s body was weak, and she had lost way too much blood . When she reached the village entrance, her face had already become as white as a sheet and she felt as if she couldn’t move any further . Su Qing immediately went to support her . “Yao Er, let Mother carry you . ”

“No, Mother……I’m fine . I can walk . ”

“The injury at the back of your head hasn’t healed, and your arm was nearly cut off . When we reach Yan city, you will already be gone . ” When she saw her pale face, Su Qing’s heart felt as if it was pierced with a knife .

Coroner Liu looked at Mu Yunyao and waved his hand at her . “You are the eye-witness, nothing must happen to you . You can sit in the carriage . ”

Mu Yunyao froze, her eyes overwhelmed with grat.i.tude . “Thank you sir, thank you . ” When she finished, she pulled at Su Qing’s sleeve, “Mother, sir is letting us sit in the carriage!”

Mother’s body was not good . She did not want to see her Mother suffer .

Su Qing did not have the nerve, “You go sit, Mother can walk . ”

“Mother, if you’re not with me, I will feel scared . Come on,” When she finished, she pulled Su Qing towards the carriage . Su Qing did not dare use too much strength as she was afraid she might tear Mu Yunyao’s wounds . She could only lower her head as she entered the carriage .

The coroner pretended not to see anything . When the two got on the carriage, they started to move .

Around fifty to sixty villagers entered Yan city, immediately raising the attention of Yan city’s citizens . After they asked around for information, Yan city immediately became very lively . Many citizens went into the direction of the court of the Magistrate .

In Yan city’s biggest thriving restaurant, the guard Yu Heng reported in a respectful tone, “Master, it is the village below the mountain’s villagers . They said that a murder occurred relating to someone with the surname ‘Mu’ . ”

The man with the cold expression on his face glanced up, his freezing cold eyes had a flash of amus.e.m.e.nt . “Go and look . ” She dared steal his things and stir up such an uproar, what a daring girl!

After Yan city’s Magistrate heard of the case and questioned the officers and coroner who had just returned, he already had his judgement and immediately went to the court to start the hearing .

Li Shi had long already been frightened out of her wits . She wanted very much to clear her name . When she say the court Magistrate Liu Yuan, she immediately yelled out, “Sir Qingtian, the murderer was Mu Yunyao! This has got nothing to do with me, you must observe clearly!”

(T/N: If you remember, ‘Qingtian’ is not a name, its just a way of saying that the person is an upright official . )

“Bang!” The court magistrate had slapped the table . He said loudly, “How could you be so uproarious in the court? You are Li Shi?”

“Yes, it is this little villager woman . Sir, you must help the wronged me!”
