Chapter 483: Future Husband
Upon hearing these words, Wu Liangjun broke out in a cold sweat. Was the Commandery Princess investigating Mrs. Zhang’s death?
He didn’t know how his father had explained the situation, and now, what should he do?
Leng Yu Yan smiled faintly, "Since I have reminded you, it’s Doctor Wu’s turn to speak."
Wu Liangjun caught a glimpse of two men’s shadows on the floor, their bearing seemed to exude an imposing aura. But their faces were not visible, only their shadows reflected on the ground indicated that they were standing not far away.
If he said something unfavorable, would these two men immediately kill him?
Thinking this, Wu Liangjun awkwardly smiled, "Commandery Princess, what are you talking about? As doctors, my father and I must fulfill our duties to the Lady and to you."
"So that means you don’t want to talk," Leng Yu Yan asked slowly, "Lai Manting’s facial patches were torn off, and you and your father cheated her out of 5,000 taels of silver. The crime you’ve concocted is not minor. Do you need me to say a word on your behalf to the Capital Mayor Mansion?"
Wu Liangjun panicked, "The peeling of Lai Manting’s face is a result of her own doing. Commandery Princess, when you were ten, your appearance and physique underwent drastic changes due to Mrs. Feng and Lai Manting’s actions. It was Lai Manting, who has been jealous of your beauty since childhood, conspired with Mrs. Feng to ruin your appearance and body."
"But the poison was prepared by you and your father."
"We, father and son, were also forced by Mrs. Feng and her daughter. This matter of making a living, indeed, we were at our wits’ end!" Wu Liangjun covered his face, pretending to cry, "Commandery Princess is beautiful and kind-hearted, surely you can understand our predicament!"
"Hehehe, predicament?" Leng Yu Yan sneered, "I mentioned earlier that you are not young anymore, well into your thirties. Six years ago, before my mother passed away, all the prescriptions were from you and your father. I’m sure you remember that very clearly."
Wu Liangjun’s back was covered in sweat. If he admitted even a single word now, he feared he might not escape without serious consequences.
