Chapter 1399: The Truth Comes to Light
After sending the man away, Su Yunjin returned to the courtyard and found a stool to sit on in front of the stone table. Su Yunjin always felt that Young Master Chu’s help this time was intentional, not a coincidence.
Su Yunjin had one skill, which was adeptness in observing words and expressions; the man in black was clearly not good at making excuses. When he spoke, his expression was somewhat stiff, and his eyes somewhat evasive. It was obvious that what the man said was not the truth, and Young Master Chu’s help was certainly not just as the man had said.
If Young Master Chu truly cared for her that much, could it be...? Su Yunjin couldn’t help but think of the last time she was at the Prince Qi Residence, when Lady Qin reminded her.
She realized this possibility.
Su Yunjin’s heart skipped a beat.
Regardless of whether Young Master Chu had those kinds of feelings for her, to avoid unnecessary trouble, Su Yunjin intended to keep a certain distance from Young Master Chu in the future.
Gu Ya went to the Governor’s Office to inquire about the old woman, and from her mouth, Gu Ya gained nothing, absolutely no useful leads.
He still had no idea of the identity of the person who had drugged the victim.
Since he couldn’t get any information from the old woman’s mouth, Gu Ya didn’t pursue further and drove to the old woman’s hometown. There, he began to investigate people the old woman had recently been in contact with, as well as other matters related to her. He also questioned the villagers one by one about anyone related to the old woman. Just like at the prison, Gu Ya initially didn’t find out anything.
The man in front of him was the older brother of the old woman’s husband, and he knew everything about the old woman’s family. Gu Ya gave the man half a string of cash.
With the silver in hand, the man grinned and told Gu Ya everything he knew about the old woman’s affairs, "Brother Gu, you don’t know about my sister-in-law? The tricks she plays, they’re all to fool others. Only those idiots outside would believe my sister-in-law’s words, actually believing that taking her medicine would guarantee a son."
Half a string of cash was enough for the man’s family expenses for several months. Gu Ya was generous with money, and the man answered Gu Ya’s questions readily, talking about the women who usually had good relations with the old woman. Then, he brought up the old woman’s family, "Oh right, Brother Gu, you might not know, but if you count carefully, my sister-in-law is actually related to your Gu Family!"
