The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple

Gao suddenly stopped crying, opened her eyes wide, and murmured, "What did you say?"

Chu Yunxi repeated it calmly. Gao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said, "Impossible, father would never do such a thing. This must be a false accusation."

"Why are you so sure?"

Gao wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "Miss Yunxi, I believe that your Dali Temple has already sorted out the relationships among our family members in the past few days, right?"

Chu Yunxi nodded.

"Actually, the relationship in my family is quite simple," Gao said softly, not looking at Chu Yunxi, but looking at the ground. "My parents only have three children, me and my two younger brothers. We are all born to the same mother. My family has never taken a concubine. Not only did my father never take a concubine, but under his influence, my two younger brothers also never thought of taking a concubine."

This is indeed a very good inheritance, Chu Yunxi couldn't help but nodded.

"In fact, when my parents first got married, they had a hard time having children. After five years of marriage, my mother still had no children. This put a lot of pressure on her at the time. My grandmother kept complaining about it, and my mother was also worried. She saw many famous doctors and took many medicines, but it was useless. My mother's stomach was still not moving."

Gao paused. These were all told to her by her mother. When she talked about them now, her mother's voice, appearance and smile naturally emerged in her mind. She couldn't help but burst into tears again.

But she held back her tears and continued, "My mother later became discouraged and discussed with my father about letting him take a concubine to continue the Gao family's bloodline. But unexpectedly, my father firmly disagreed."

Chu Yunxi sighed silently. In this era, it was a woman's sin to not be able to give birth to a child. Once there was a problem, it became the best excuse for men to take concubines. In fact, they didn't know that many times, the problem actually lay with the men. If that was the case, it would be useless even if he took ten or eight concubines.

It seems that Gao Qinghe is a man of principles.

"My mother tried her best to persuade my father, but he refused to budge. He just said that no matter what other families did, he, Gao Qinghe, would only have one wife in his life and would never take concubines. As for children, having them was a blessing, and not having them was fate. He came to persuade my grandmother to let my mother rest assured."

Gao wiped her tears and continued, "Mother had no choice but to give up the idea. Later, she simply stopped thinking about it. Unexpectedly, once she was relieved, she got pregnant. It was me. The whole family was so happy. Father treated mother like a treasure. Later, my second and third brothers were born. Miss Yunxi, how could my father be so unstable when he was drunk?"

Chu Yunxi didn't say anything. From what Gao said, she knew that Gao Qinghe was indeed not such a person. But this was only one side of the story. In Gao's mind, maybe Gao Qinghe was a good father and a good husband, so she didn't believe that he would do such a thing. But there is another word in this world called accident.

There may be other hidden secrets, such as mistaking his mother-in-law for his first wife after drinking, which is not impossible.

"There is another reason, which is why I am sure this is the most crucial part of the false accusation."

Gao stared at Chu Yunxi with a firm look on her face, which made Chu Yunxi sit up straight involuntarily.

She said word by word: "My father never drinks."

Chu Yunxi was shocked and couldn't help but stand up, "Are you telling the truth?"

Gao nodded firmly, "Of course it's true. My father's best friends can testify to this. My father couldn't drink much. He would get drunk after just one glass of wine. Once he got drunk, he wouldn't wake up for three days and three nights. So, whether it was for business social events or gatherings with brothers, he never drank. Everyone knew this and wouldn't force him to drink."

Chu Yunxi knew that such people existed. In fact, this was also a type of alcohol allergy. Such people were like being in a coma after drinking. Not to mention letting them do that, it was difficult for them to even move.

Seeing that Gao was so confident that she didn't seem to be lying, Chu Yunxi's mind raced, thinking that there might be something else going on.

She sat down slowly again, thought for a while, and asked, "Madam Chen, we will go to Mr. Gao's friends to verify this matter. Is there anyone in the Gao family who might know what happened back then?"

The Gao family was completely wiped out this time, but the incident happened fifteen years ago after all, so it is possible that some of the servants have already left the Gao family.

Gao frowned and thought hard for a long time. Suddenly, she slapped the table and said, "I remember that Aunt Chen, who used to serve my mother, was allowed to return to her hometown to retire three years ago because my mother felt sorry for her old age."

Chu Yunxi's eyes lit up, "Do you know where her hometown is?"

"Yes, last year my husband went to Yunzhong City for work, and I accompanied him. When we passed through Chunshan, my mother asked me to visit Aunt Chen and give her some gifts. Aunt Chen's home is in the countryside of Chunshan County."

Chu Yunxi stood up and said, "Madam Chen, I am sorry for bothering you today. Don't worry, the Dali Temple will investigate this matter thoroughly and will not let Master Gao's reputation be disgraced after his death."

Gao stood up and choked up again. "In that case, I'll leave it to Miss Yunxi. The murderer is so heartless. I hope the Dali Temple will find out the truth, punish the murderer severely, and clear my father's name."

Chu Yunxi nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Madam Chen, I know a little bit about medicine. Madam Chen is too sad and her body can't take it anymore. Recently, she has been suffering from dizziness, palpitations, chest tightness, and unclear vision."

Before Gao could say anything, the maid beside her spoke in surprise, "My wife has exactly these symptoms. The doctor prescribed medicine, but it didn't work after she took it. Do you have any solution, young lady?"

Chu Yunxi knew what was going on. "I have some medicine here. If Madam Chen believes me, I can send someone to the Dali Temple to get it. Madam, please relax. This matter will surely come to light. The dead are gone, and the living still need to take care of themselves. This is the greatest comfort to the dead."

Gao nodded with tears in her eyes and said, "Thank you, Miss Yunxi. Lin'er, please help me see Miss Yunxi off."

The maid Lin'er responded, "Miss Yunxi, please."

"Goodbye." Chu Yunxi walked out of the inner courtyard, and Xiao Mubei and Baiyu Heimu also said goodbye.

After getting on the carriage, Chu Yunxi said, "Your Majesty, we may need to go to Chunshan County."

"Okay, I'll go back and pack up today and go early tomorrow morning." Xiao Mubei agreed readily.

Chu Yunxi asked curiously, "Don't you even ask why we are going to Chunshan? Also, how far is Chunshan County from the capital?"

Chu Yunxi had no idea about the terrain here, but she knew that the current means of transportation were too slow and a trip would take at least three to five days. Although she had the Liyue Bracelet and didn't have to worry about daily necessities, she still had to prepare some spare clothes.
