The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

This answer is a bit unexpected.

Lu Qingchen suddenly felt like doing something interesting. "Tell me more about it."

The maid was originally a second-class maid beside Miss Qian. She was pretty and charming, so Miss Qian sent her to serve Rong Sheng.

One day, Miss Qian suddenly called her over and said many kind words. Because Miss Qian was injured and could not give birth to a child for her son-in-law, she wanted to promote her to be Rongsheng's concubine. For this reason, she also rewarded her with a jade bracelet.

"What about you and Rongsheng?"

The maid shook her head repeatedly, "My son-in-law is a chaste man and has never touched me."

After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but laugh bitterly. "After knowing what the young lady meant, the son-in-law advised me to become someone's concubine. It would seem like I was half a master, but in reality, I was just a plaything that the master could summon and dismiss at will. The son-in-law also gave me a contract to sell my body, asking me to marry someone else as his wife."

"He claimed that he would only have you, my young lady, as his wife, and that he would not marry anyone else." The maid couldn't help but burst into tears, her heart filled with sorrow. "How could such a good son-in-law commit such an infidelity? And how could he die?"

Qin Miaoxi and Rong Sheng looked at each other in surprise. They were surprised that Rong Sheng was so loyal to his wife.

At the same moment, they all wondered: Why had the Qian family buried him in such a hurry? Who had strangled him to death and brutally tortured him before his death?

All kinds of questions linger in my mind and I can't find the answers.

Qin Miaoxi then asked, "Why would Rong Sheng go into business? Isn't he just an accountant?"

"This time, the son-in-law was able to go into business because of the young lady's request to the master. The master said that as long as the son-in-law makes achievements, he will let him be the manager of two shops."

Lu Qingchen curled his lips in disapproval, muttering to himself, "Could the Qian family be so kind? There's no conspiracy here!"

Qin Miaoxi nodded silently. She also felt that Rong Sheng's business trip this time was a bit sudden, but she could not find any conclusive evidence to prove her thoughts.

At this moment, the Qian family's housekeeper came running over, sweating profusely. "I greet the young marquis. What can I do for you?"

Lu Qingchen immediately put on the attitude of a marquis and said to Qin Miaoxi: "Woman, if you have any questions, just ask them quickly."

"Butler, do you know the whereabouts of your son-in-law?"

"Son-in-law, he's out doing business. He should be back in the next few days."

Qin Miaoxi stared at him intently, and seeing that he looked normal, she was sure that he really didn't know that the other person was dead.

"Does your young lady have any close friends?"

The housekeeper smiled calmly, "Of course, my young lady has several good friends, including Miss Zou from the Censor's family, Miss Chen from the Imperial Physician's family, and..."

Lu Qingchen interrupted him impatiently, "Stop, she's asking about men."

The housekeeper's expression suddenly changed, and he said hurriedly, "Young Master, please be careful with your words. My young lady has always been a womanizer and would never have any intimate contact with a man outside her family."

Lu Qingchen and the other person exchanged glances, and Qin Miaoxi skipped the topic. "Then please copy a list of those who have cooperated with the Qian family."

"Ok."

Before leaving, she asked one last question: "Has any servant of the Qian family disappeared recently?"

"Missing? No one is missing, it's just that a few servants left the mansion some time ago and found other places."

"Can you give me the list?"

"of course."

After leaving the Qian family, Lu Qingchen asked in confusion, "Why are you so interested in Rong Sheng's news? The government couldn't find any clues, so how could they know?"

"How do you think the three members of the Qian family knew that Rong Sheng was beaten to death for stealing someone?"

If no one passed on the message, then the most likely possibility was that they were the ones who put Rong Sheng to death. That was why he was hurriedly buried as someone else.

Hearing this, Lu Qingcheng clicked her tongue twice, "This Miss Qian has no feelings for Rong Sheng!"

Qin Miaoxi raised her eyebrows, "How do you know?"

Lu Qingchen immediately transformed into a wise judge of love and said confidently, "Little girl, you don't understand! People who love are often stingy, so how could they tolerate others sharing their partiality?"

Qin Miaoxi glanced at him with disdain, "What do you know, you dandy boy?"

Lu Qingchen angrily cursed, "You are a piece of rotten wood that cannot be carved."

Seeing Qin Miaoxi walking away, he hurriedly followed her.

"Didn't you say Chen Youcai was the murderer? Why didn't you ask just now?"

"Do you think the people in the Dali Temple are just there to eat and do nothing?"

Did she not want to investigate? She was sympathetic, and if she continued to cross the line, she would offend everyone in the Dali Temple.

The most important thing is that she has no money to take! Lord Liang is an iron rooster, not willing to spend a penny.

As they were talking, Qin Miaoxi had already turned into an alley and disappeared without a word.

Lu Qingchen was immediately displeased and shouted at her angrily, "Where have you been? The Emperor asked you to cooperate with me in investigating the case, and you dared to ignore me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure disappeared and no one paid any attention to him.

Lu Qingchen: "..."

After walking around in the alley, Qin Miaoxi stopped in front of an ordinary house with two white lanterns hanging at the door.

Seeing someone standing at the door, the neighbor asked curiously, "Girl, who are you looking for?"

"The owner of this house."

"You're talking about Mrs. Rong! She passed away half a month ago."

Lu Qingchen exclaimed: "Dead?"

He heard this as soon as he ran over. This was where Rong Sheng's mother lived. His mother died half a month ago, and her son died seven days ago.

Is it really such a coincidence?

Lu Qingchen's lips curled up slightly, a cold arc forming. "I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but I believe that all coincidences in the world are intentional."

Qin Miaoxi agreed with this and asked, "How did she die?"

The neighbor sighed, "Ah! She died of illness. Mrs. Rong was in poor health to begin with, and she suddenly became ill. She couldn't be saved."

"What about her family?"

"She has a son, but he hasn't been home for a long time. He only came back once after Mrs. Rong died. He is so heartless." When talking about Rong Sheng, the neighbors started to curse him indignantly and looked down on him.

"Isn't Rongsheng quite filial?"

"That was at the beginning, when Mrs. Rong first moved in. Her son would come to see her every day. I heard that he later became a son-in-law of a wealthy family. Now that he's rich, how could he forget his wife? His visits became less and less frequent, and eventually he just stopped coming."

Qin Miaoxi pondered for a moment and asked, "Have you ever heard Old Lady Rong mention that her son has a hidden illness?"

The neighbor was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it."

Qin Miaoxi pulled Lu Qingchen to the corner and whispered, "Young Marquis, I have a difficult task for you now."

"You said."

"Could you please check what medicines Mr. Rong and Mrs. Rong have bought over the years?"

"Why are you checking this?" Lu Qingchen was puzzled.

Qin Miaoxi said solemnly, "This clue is very important. It's related to the cause of Rong Sheng's death. Young Marquis, you can find it, right?"

Lu Qingchen laughed heartily and patted his chest to assure, "How is that possible? Just wait for me to bring you good news!"

Qin Miaoxi laughed dryly twice, her mouth twitching as she thought to herself: Master, get out of here now!

After much pleading, Qin Miaoxi finally heard peace and quiet. She went into Mrs. Rong's house and took a look around.

The body had been buried, and the house was in a state of desolation. Offerings were still laid out, uncollected, but other than that, there were no other clues to be found.

Qin Miaoxi looked at the mourning hall with a frown on her face, muttering to herself, "Strange."

Her hand gently brushed across the table, which was already covered with a layer of dust. There was only a rectangular mark in the middle, indicating that something had been placed there but was later taken away. It was the spirit tablet of Old Lady Rong.

"Rongsheng has been back."

With a bang, a figure outside the door fled in panic.

Qin Miaoxi's eyes darkened and she immediately chased after him.
