Chapter 496: I’m Very Suspicious About Your Sister’s Cause of Death
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Gu Qingluan said, “The cause of death is still unclear; we need to examine your sister’s body first.”
“I won’t let you touch my sister! You’re the murderer!”
“My mother is not a murderer!” Gu Xiaonan struggled free from Feng Tianlan’s grip and rushed over, standing in front of Gu Qingluan like a little firecracker.
Feng Yuanxi heard the young man cursing Gu Qingluan and struggled to get down from Feng Tianlan’s arms.
People didn’t hold as much animosity towards Gu Xiaonan, but due to Gu Qingluan’s earlier statement that the decision to distribute the congee was Feng Yuanxi’s idea, there was a deep misunderstanding about him as well.
Fearing that Yuanxi might get hurt, Gu Xiaonan didn’t allow him to get down. “Don’t cause trouble for your mother.”
This one sentence successfully stopped Feng Yuanxi from struggling.
Meanwhile, Gu Qingluan quickly pulled her son, Xiaonan, to her side to avoid him accidentally getting hit.
The young man glared fiercely at Gu Xiaonan. “It’s him, it’s your Jun Residence that killed my sister! Do you think you can deny it in front of all these witnesses?”
Gu Xiaonan was furious and opened his mouth to retort.
Gu Qingluan squeezed his small hand, signaling him not to speak.
Gu Xiaonan had no choice but to hold back, but he was as angry as a pufferfish, his small face puffed up.
Gu Qingluan looked at the young man with a hint of doubt in her eyes. “I have serious doubts about the cause of your sister’s death.”
The young man’s face immediately turned ashen. “What do you mean? You want to accuse me of lying? Don’t push your luck! That’s my sister!”
The other poor folks were also very angry.
“She does something wrong without any remorse, and now she’s pointing fingers at us. Isn’t this too much of a bullying tactic?”
“Just because she’s the Guardian Princess, does that give her the right to be shameless?”
“They think we’re easy targets, don’t they? It seems that those in power are all the same, not good people!”
“Didn’t it come out earlier that she was ruthless to her own family? She almost killed her own father and only saved him because the Gu family’s old master begged for mercy and crippled her cultivation. If she could be so cruel to her own father, what about us?”
“She’s too darn ruthless! We all used to think she had a heart of gold. What’s the difference between such a heartless woman and a villain?”
Onlookers nearby shook their heads as they watched the situation unfold.
They had hoped that the Guardian Princess would appear and help resolve this crisis, but they couldn’t believe that she had made such a fatal mistake by questioning the deceased’s family. Wouldn’t that just further infuriate everyone?
Gu Qingluan remained calm and had antic.i.p.ated this kind of reaction from the crowd. She looked deeply at the young man and said, “I have never said anything like that. Your extreme reaction only raises suspicion.”
The young man angrily replied, “Who could tolerate this? Don’t believe me? Ask everyone.”
The poor folks around nodded in agreement.
However, the spectators began to sense something was amiss and closely observed the young man.
They hadn’t paid much attention to him before, but now they noticed that while he had been filled with sorrow and anger earlier, there was no longer any sadness in his eyes—only anger.
His sister, whom he had depended on, had died. Shouldn’t he be overwhelmingly grief-stricken?
Why was he so quick to move from grief to anger?
Gu Qingluan also nodded, acknowledging the young man’s words. “You’re right. 1 don’t mean to question you. It’s just that, as everyone can see, only your sister has pa.s.sed away. Don’t you want to know why?”
“What else could it be? My sister has been frail since childhood, especially with digestive issues. Others might just have stomachaches, but it cost her life!”
“If you’re not comfortable with my examination, then let the coroner inspect it.”
Others chimed in, saying, “That’s a good idea!”
“Yes, we should let the coroner examine the body. Didn’t someone already report this to the authorities? Why haven’t they arrived yet?”
Just as they were discussing this, a group of soldiers hurriedly approached.
“Oh, it’s the Magistrate!”
“The Magistrate of Shuntian actually came in person!”
