Chapter 525 Miss Hu is dead
Aunt Xiao was stunned: "There was no medicine prescribed, how can it be said that the patient died?"
Xia Wanniang looked at her anxiously: "Mom, don't worry, I'll go take a look."
Xuan Qing came to hand in his homework at this time, and happened to see her going out: "Madam, are you going out?"
"Do you want to go to the government office?" Xia Wanniang asked casually.
"Go." Xuan Qing agreed without thinking.
Xia Wanniang looked at Qiu He and said, "Go to the medicine shop and bring Xiao Xingyue back." Then she looked at Aunt Xiao and said, "Mom, I'll go take a look. Please help take care of Xiao Xingyue for a while."
"How can you go alone?" Aunt Xiao was worried.
"Grandma, let's go with mom." Several children came out from somewhere, and Zhu Yao also stood beside her and supported her.
Xia Wanniang looked at the people around her and said, "Mom, you see I am not alone."
Aunt Xiao shook her head helplessly: "Slow down."
Xia Wanniang nodded and walked towards the yamen with a few people.
Their home was not far from the yamen, so there was no need to take a carriage.
When Xia Wanniang arrived at the yamen, the bailiff saw her and wanted to salute, but she raised her hand to stop him.
She didn't go in, but stood in a corner and watched Wei Zhen try the case.
There was a figure covered with white cloth in the lobby, and it was obvious at first glance that it was a woman.
Several maids cried quietly, and two men and women in gorgeous clothes wiped their tears and cried, "Sir, you have to help me! It's all because of this woman. She killed my daughter."
Rouyue knelt on the ground, without saying anything or making any excuses.
Wei Zhen slammed the gavel and said, "Silence."
"Mighty!" The yamen runner shouted "mighty" and kept hitting the ground with the killing stick in his hand.
The people below didn't dare to speak, they just wiped their tears silently.
Zhu Yao's sense of smell is very good now. She seems to smell some scents, but they are very faint.
Wei Zhen looked at the man below: "Boss Hu, Madam Hu, you said that Rou killed your daughter, do you have any evidence?"
Mrs. Hu choked up and looked up at Wei Zhen: "Sir, my daughter is not feeling well today, so I went to Jishitang to invite a doctor."
When she said this, she pointed at Rouyue, her eyes full of hatred: "In the end, this thing came. After she showed it to my daughter, she left and my daughter died soon after. If not her, who else could it be."
Wei Zhen looked at Shopkeeper Hong and said, "Shopkeeper Hong, why did you let Rouyue treat Miss Hu?"
Shopkeeper Hong explained the whole thing in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Sir, although Rouyue is an apprentice, she has no problem taking the pulse and asking questions."
Boss Hu looked at Shopkeeper Hong angrily and said, "You are a quack who harms people."
Shopkeeper Hong bowed to Wei Zhen and said, "Sir, I only asked Rouyue to feel Miss Hu's pulse. I didn't treat her. How can you say she was harming someone? Can touching her wrist kill her?"
Boss Hu pointed a finger at Shopkeeper Hong, his hands shaking with anger: "You..."
Shopkeeper Hong was not afraid at all and continued to kneel on the ground.
Wei Zhen slammed the gavel: "Quiet."
Boss Hu glared at Shopkeeper Hong angrily.
Wei Zhen looked at a maid and asked, "Is what Shopkeeper Hong said true?"
The maid was so frightened that she hiccuped and her body trembled violently: "Yes, yes, it's the truth."
Even if she wanted to lie, she couldn't because there were more than three of them in the pharmacy at the time.
Wei Zhen looked at the other three maids again and said, "Tell us everything about what Rou did and said after entering the mansion."
The three maids stammered, "Rou didn't say anything or do anything when she entered the mansion. She just drove us out when we got to the young lady's courtyard."
Wei Zhen narrowed his eyes and said, "They were all kicked out, but you didn't follow them into the house to serve."
"The young lady said she had something to tell Rou, so she asked us to wait outside." The three maids explained hurriedly.
Wei Zhen asked again: "How long was Rou in there? When did she come out? Did you hear what they said?"
The three maids thought about it carefully and said, "It was less than a cup of tea. Their voices were very low and we didn't hear any sound."
Wei Zhen looked at Rou Shi: "Rou Shi, tell me everything you said and did to Miss Hu after you entered."
