"Mrs. Wen, the Wang family said that you once gave acupuncture to Wang Laowu. Is that true?"

Wen Qingcheng said in a clear voice: "Your Excellency, this is true. At that time, Wang Laowu was already in hemorrhagic shock and his life was hanging by a thread. If I hadn't given him acupuncture, I'm afraid he wouldn't have made it home."

"You said Wang Laowu was in shock and on the verge of death. Do you have any evidence?"

Wen Qingcheng's clear voice echoed in the lobby: "I have witnesses. The helpers who built our house and the villagers of Yueya Village are all witnesses. You can call them over for questioning."

Boss Wang stepped forward and bowed to the county magistrate, who said lazily, "Go ahead."

"Sir, these witnesses are all from their own village, so they naturally support the Wen family girl. I asked Peng Ge'er from our village, and he said that my brother pretended to fall and faint in order to test the Wen family girl's medical skills. If he was faking it, how could he really die?"

"It was this bitch who stabbed my fifth son to death." Old Lady Wang pointed at Wen Qingcheng and cursed. The county magistrate slammed the gavel and said, "How dare you! You are not allowed to make noise in the court. I have warned you once. If you don't change, please leave the court."

Old Lady Wang stopped talking in anger. The county magistrate looked at Wen Qingcheng and asked solemnly, "How do you know that Wang Laowu died of hemorrhagic shock?"

"Sir, I know medical skills, so I can diagnose it."

The county magistrate frowned and looked at Wen Qingcheng, "You said you know medical skills, who is your teacher?"

"I don't have a master. My medical books are my master."

The county magistrate frowned and said sternly, "How dare you fool me? You don't have a master so you don't know medical skills. You are self-taught and you dare to give people acupuncture?!"

"The acupuncture points I used are very safe and effective. If you don't believe me, you can ask a doctor to check the needle holes on the body. As for my medical skills, many people in our village know about them, and I have indeed cured people's illnesses."

"The county will send people to investigate what you said. Let me ask you again, how high was the roof from which Wang Laowu fell?"

Wen Qingcheng quickly calculated in her mind, "More than ten feet."

After hearing this, the county magistrate said suspiciously, "A fall of more than ten feet is not enough to kill someone."

Wang Laowu bowed and said, "Your Excellency, it is normal for my fifth brother to fall from this height, and he fell on purpose. He couldn't have died from the fall. It must be that Wen's medical treatment was reckless and he was killed!"

Wen Qingcheng glared at Wang Laowu and immediately explained: "Sir, although the house is not high, Wang Laowu just had a full lunch. In this situation, let alone falling from the roof, even if he was knocked down, if he happened to be there, it would cause his spleen to rupture and cause blood loss and shock."

The lawyer approached the county magistrate and said, "Whether he died of a ruptured spleen is just one-sided statement from Wen Shi. Her medical skills may not be effective. Let's ask the coroner to perform an autopsy first."

The county magistrate nodded, looked at Wen Qingcheng with cold eyes, and said solemnly: "Put Wen Qingcheng in jail and await trial."

......

In the Wen family's house in Yueya Village, Zicheng learned that his eldest sister had been captured, so he took Chuyi with him to rescue her.

Ye Xiuying looked haggard and pulled Zicheng over. "Zicheng, stop making trouble. Your elder sister will come back. We didn't commit any crime. We will be fine."

Ye Xiuying's heart was also beating fast. She heard from the elderly that the county government was a place where people were eaten without leaving any bones. It was already afternoon, why had Qingcheng not returned after being taken away for questioning? Did they give her water to drink and provided her with meals?

"Zicheng, Chuyi, you guys stay at home. I'll go find Ruan Sanlang and take his boat to the county government office to see what's going on."

Hearing this, Chuyi also wanted to go along. He had long anticipated that the incident would reach the county government office, so he sent a letter to Zuo Erye in advance. He would arrive in Qinghe County as early as tomorrow morning.

But he was really worried about Wen Qingcheng. This girl seemed very smart, but sometimes she was quite stubborn. She was very proud and didn't know how to humble herself. He was afraid that she would suffer a loss when she arrived at the county government office.

As soon as Ye Xiuying and Chuyi went out, they saw Aunt Ruan running over. "Xiuying, someone is coming from the government office."

Ye Xiuying was delighted when she heard this and asked anxiously, "Someone from the government is here? Is there any news about my Qingcheng?"

Aunt Ruan suddenly became hesitant. If she didn't say anything, Ye Xiuying would start to have wild thoughts.

"Qingcheng has been imprisoned and is awaiting trial. Just now, the police came to our house to investigate and asked us some questions. They asked us whether Qingcheng knew medical skills, and then it seemed that she went to another house."

"Sister Ruan, I feel very nervous."

"Xiuying, don't panic. If you say this matter has nothing to do with you, the Wang family just wants to extort some money from you. They are not in the right. I heard from the bailiff that there will be a retrial tomorrow morning. I will go with you then."

Ye Xiuying nodded absentmindedly and asked, "What other questions did they ask?"

"I just asked if she knew Qingcheng knew medical skills, and some details about Wang Laowu falling from the roof." Aunt Ruan looked around again and lowered her voice, "Xiuying, you'd better go to your mother-in-law first. When you ask them, don't let them talk nonsense."

"Yes, yes, I'll go right away." Ye Xiuying nodded quickly, turned around, trotted two steps, then stopped and said, "Thank you, Sister Ruan."

"Oh, what are you thanking me for? Just go now."

Ye Xiuying took Chuyi to the old house and knocked on the gate urgently. Zhao Chunhua walked towards the gate while cursing: "Who is it? I'm dying. Stop knocking. I'm coming!"

Zhao Chunhua opened the door and saw Ye Xiuying, who was in a trance. She was stunned at first, and then said in a sarcastic tone: "Second sister-in-law, why are you here? You are such a rare guest."

Ye Xiuying walked in quickly without waiting for Zhao Chunhua to finish speaking. She couldn't care less about so many things now. She was only thinking about her daughter.

"Second sister-in-law is here..." Zhao Chunhua shouted and took two quick steps behind to follow.

The whole family was at home. Ye Xiuying went to Boss Wen's room. The old lady was there too. Ye Xiuying explained her purpose. Boss Wen said indifferently, "This kind of thing is not just about what you say. You have to tell the truth to the officials."

"Brother, what do you mean? Qingcheng does have medical skills. She cured my illness and saved Lao Zhao's Huzi. You all know about this."

Boss Wen sneered, "I haven't heard that Qingcheng has learned acupuncture from anyone, but she dares to give people acupuncture. I feel that something bad will happen to her sooner or later. She is too bold. This time can be regarded as a lesson."

Ye Xiuying was anxious and cried, "Qingcheng had already tried it on herself countless times. Brother, mother, you must help me this time. To be honest, Qingcheng also knows medicine and acupuncture, and she would not kill people. Wang Laowu fell to his death."

Zhang Sufen sat on the edge of the bed, spitting out some melon seed shells, and said as if it had nothing to do with her, "This kind of thing is destined to happen, and people have to accept their fate."

"Qingcheng is your niece after all. Even if she is not your biological niece, she has worked hard since she was young. Even if she has no merits, she has worked hard. Now that she is in trouble, you should speak a fair word for her."

Wen Yufeng was in a good mood at the moment. Some time ago, Wen Qingcheng overshadowed her and made the whole village know that Wen Qingcheng was the best and most capable, who knew acupuncture and could make money. Now that she was in jail, she, Wen Yufeng, would be the only one standing out from the rest.
