My mother-in-law actually married the prince

When the third brother saw Lin Zhixin coming back, he immediately pulled her into the medicine shop and said anxiously:

"Mom, this is terrible. They say you killed the woman during a Caesarian section and bribed her to stop her from filing a complaint.

"Lin Zhixin widened her eyes and asked in disbelief, "What did you say?" The third brother repeated what he had just said.

After a while, several constables arrived and asked Lin Zhixin to go to the county government office. "Someone accused you of killing a woman in labor.

"Lin Zhixin thought: Who the hell is this guy? A thought flashed through Lin Zhixin's mind, could it be that family? Want to extort money?

But she shook her head again, thinking that the man didn't look like that kind of person. An older-looking constable said in a slower tone, "Doctor Lin, please come with us to the government office."

"Sir, please allow me to explain a few things. Lao San, Yao Yao, Fu Rong, Goudan, and Xiu Er, please keep an eye on the pharmacy. No one is allowed to come to the government office.

"After Lin Zhixin finished speaking, she followed the constables to the yamen. They were left alone in the pharmacy, pacing around anxiously, their hearts filled with worry and uneasiness.

The county magistrate's name was He Yichen, and his wife Qiqi was also delivered by Lin Zhixin.

The person who sued Lin Zhixin was the mother's older brother, Li Tianming, 35 years old, who was idle all day and often came to the county to gamble.

Yesterday, he happened to be at the entrance of the clinic and saw the woman being carried onto the ox cart, seemingly dead. He then began to think of ways to make a fortune from Lin Zhixin.

Lin Zhixin followed the constable to the county government office, but found that the office was surrounded by a crowd of people, and there was no way to get in or out.

She secretly sighed in her heart, this is exactly as described in the picture book, people all like to watch the hustle and bustle, who wouldn't like to watch this free hustle and bustle?

She gathered herself and prepared for the next interrogation. Amid the crowd's chatter, Lin Zhixin straightened her back and walked into the county hall with steady steps.

Li Tianming said confidently in the county government hall:

"Sir, that Lin Cuihua was reckless and took human life lightly. Although my sister had a difficult birth, both mother and child could have been safe, but she performed a sloppy operation on her, killing my sister and only saving the child.

She even bribed my uncle and aunt with money to prevent them from reporting the case to the authorities. Please, sir, help my sister!"

He Yichen frowned slightly. He knew Lin Cuihua very well. She treated the common people for free and had a very good reputation. There must be something fishy about this matter. He said in a deep voice:

"Call Lin Cuihua to the classroom."

After a while, Lin Zhixin was brought to the lobby. She saluted with dignity and said:

“Hello, sir.

He Yichen looked at Lin Zhixin and asked:

"Lin Cuihua, please stand up and speak. Someone accused you of killing a woman in labor. Is that true?

"Lin Zhixin said frankly: "Sir, this is absolutely not the case.

The mother was already dead when she arrived. After checking, I found that the fetus might still be alive. The situation was critical, so I had to perform a caesarean section and save the baby.

When the mother was taken away by her family yesterday, I never gave her family any money to bribe them."

He Yichen looked at Li Tianming again: "Do you have any evidence to prove that Lin Cuihua killed your sister?

Li Tianming was speechless for a moment, hesitating, "I... I saw it with my own eyes. My sister was screaming in pain when she was lifted onto the ox cart. She was the one who killed her. Please investigate."

Lin Zhixin retorted, "Sir, he is slandering me. The woman was already dead when she arrived. And everyone in my clinic can testify to that."

Magistrate He frowned slightly and said, "They are closely related to you, so it's inevitable that they might be biased. People from the clinic cannot serve as witnesses. Can you think of anyone else?"

Lin Zhixin thought for a moment and said, "Sir, there were many people eating the pig intestine rice at the clinic yesterday. They all saw what happened and can serve as witnesses. There's also the woman's husband, her mother-in-law, her father-in-law, and her uncle."

He Yichen thought for a moment and said, "This matter requires a thorough investigation. First, detain Li Tianming and make a decision after finding out the truth.

Lin Cuihua, please go back. If necessary, I will summon you." Lin Zhixin thanked the master and left the county government office.

The next afternoon, the constable came to call Lin Zhixin to go to the yamen, and Lin Zhixin followed the constable.

Along the way, she was thinking about how to deal with this lawsuit, and she also hoped that the truth would come out soon.

County Magistrate He gave the order: "Call the Wei couple, Wei Xiaonian and Wei Danian, to the court for questioning.

"After a while, the Wei couple were brought to the lobby. They looked nervous, not knowing why they were summoned here.

Magistrate He looked at them and asked seriously, "Do you two know why you were summoned to court today?

The Wei couple looked at each other and shook their heads to indicate that they didn't know.

County Magistrate He continued, "Someone has accused Lin Cuihua of killing a woman in labor, your daughter-in-law.

Tell me, what was the situation at that time?

"The Wei couple looked at each other, and Wei Danian said, "Sir, my wife is having a difficult delivery and is in critical condition. It is all thanks to Doctor Lin who came to her rescue.
