A female coroner arrived at the Jingzhao Prefecture.

Chapter 67: Getting married and having children is not a problem.

Song Shuyu's handsome face flushed, and he looked visibly uncomfortable. He avoided her intense gaze and uttered two dry words: "No."

Mu Qingcheng immediately pressed, "What is that?"

Song Shuyu pondered for a moment, but ultimately dared not mention marrying her again, lest the girl immediately run away and refuse his special treatment. Therefore, he solemnly replied to her, "You are my only female subordinate, so it is only right."

However, Mu Qingcheng was not very happy. "Your Excellency is showing favoritism. Aren't you afraid of criticism from other officials? Since Your Excellency advocates valuing ability regardless of surname, you should treat everyone equally. Otherwise, people will say behind my back that I got your favor by selling my body."

"nonsense!"

Song Shuyu slammed down his chopsticks, angrily saying, "Am I not someone who has never seen beauty? Did I serve you because of your looks? You... Anyway, whoever dares to gossip, I will rip out their tongue!"

"My lord..." Mu Qingcheng's tone softened immediately, even unconsciously taking on a hint of coquetry, "Please don't be angry, I was just raising a hypothetical question, after all, men and women are different..."

Upon hearing this, Song Shuyu became even more incomprehensible. "Since you understand the difference between men and women, why did you act so indifferent when I saw your body?"

"I do care, that's why I asked you to help me access the case files from the Court of Judicial Review!" Mu Qingcheng said matter-of-factly.

Enraged, Song Shuyu poked Mu Qingcheng on the forehead with a finger. "This isn't caring; you're trading your reputation for personal gain with me! In your eyes, I'm not even as important as that case file!"

Mu Qingcheng wanted to say "yes," but before she could utter a sound, she saw Song Shuyu press his hand to his chest, looking as if he was in great pain. She quickly asked, "My lord, what's wrong?"

Song Shuyu pursed her lips and remained silent.

Mu Qingcheng could only guess, "Is it chest tightness and shortness of breath? Do you have a habit of heart palpitations?"

As she spoke, she leaned closer to observe the color of his lips and whether his pupils were dilated. Finding that his condition was relatively good, she breathed a slight sigh of relief. Then, she removed his hand and personally patted his chest and shoulders to help him breathe. If this yandere master couldn't leave her unscathed, she would be branded as someone who had driven her superior to his death.

Unexpectedly, her series of actions made Song Shuyu's mind wander and her body feel hot!

Mu Qingcheng quickly noticed something was wrong. Even through several layers of clothing, the heart that belonged to an adult was beating faster and faster under her palm!
"Coroner Mu, you, you sit back down."

Song Shuyu's breathing became erratic. She used both hands, one in front and one behind, to help him breathe, pressing her entire body against him. It was a real test of his composure.

"My lord, I'd better ask the doctor to come." Mu Qingcheng was extremely worried, feeling that the lord's illness was quite serious.

She wouldn't let go, so Song Shuyu had to gently push her away. His handsome face was flushed, but he pretended to be nonchalant and said, "There's no need to call a doctor. I'm fine now. Thank you, Coroner Mu."

"Are you sure, sir? You seem to have a fever..."

"Sure!"

"Very well, if you are unwell in any way, I am ready to serve you at any time!"

Song Shuyu took a deep breath and forced a cryptic smile. "Don't worry, my health is fine. I can get married and have children without any problems."

Mu Qingcheng smiled brightly, "I knew it, Your Excellency will live to be a hundred years old!"

There will be two more updates today, so please vote, my darlings!
