Reborn as a doctor, he takes revenge and ruthlessly punishes the scum.

Situ Yue noticed that Old Qin's brows were slightly furrowed, but a smile lingered at the corner of his mouth as he twitched.

"Gentlemen, there are many suspicious points surrounding today's events. Before the truth is revealed, please refrain from spreading rumors. Otherwise, alerting the culprit would be counterproductive! If it hinders the capture of the real culprit, it will not only disappoint the Zhou and Wang families but also put the Prime Minister's residence in a difficult position. Therefore—"

He hesitated to speak, just right.

Yu Shuyan could easily hear the threat in her voice.

However, she didn't seem to care, and smiled faintly:

"Miss Situ, rest assured. If the Zhou and Wang families, who are the aggrieved parties, don't care about this, then I have no right to care about it."

The sarcasm in her words caused both Zhou Guoye and Wang Zinian to feel embarrassed.

However, the look of disgust in their eyes when they looked at Yu Shuyan was even stronger.

Wang Zinian snorted coldly:

“We firmly believe that the Prime Minister’s residence will find the real culprit for our sister and avenge her. You should stop trying to sow discord here. The Prime Minister is a pillar of the state, and we absolutely do not believe that the Prime Minister’s residence was responsible for our sister’s death.”

Zhou Guoye couldn't help but roll her eyes:

This Wang Zinian is such a good-for-nothing. With the eyes of all the shrewd people present, who can't see what's going on?

They don't make it clear because the victims involved don't want to pursue the matter.

However, Wang Zinian's words were like a slap in the face to Situ Yue. Furthermore, they made it seem as if they, as the aggrieved party, were incredibly cold-hearted.

Not only did they not pursue the matter, but they're also here trying to exonerate the Prime Minister's residence, which only makes them seem utterly heartless.

Old Qin was also present.

If he were to say that they are cold-hearted, then their future career prospects would be truly worrisome.

Even if one manages to get promoted by relying on the power of the Prime Minister's residence, one will inevitably face the disdain and exclusion of colleagues, and thus, one's official career will not be smooth sailing.

Sure enough, when he looked at Elder Qin and the others, he noticed the disdain and disgust in their eyes.

Looking at Situ Yue, he noticed the coldness in her eyes.

I feel terrible inside. I wanted to curry favor with the Prime Minister's family, but seeing the current situation, the Prime Minister's family has gotten themselves into trouble and made Old Master Qin dislike them even more. It's really not worth it.

It's all that bitch Yu Shuyan's fault! Why didn't she just obediently wait to die? She had to jump out and cause trouble. She really is a merchant's wretched daughter, always causing trouble; keeping her around is just a scourge.

No one noticed what he was thinking.

Old Qin stroked his beard and looked at Situ Yue:

"Miss Situ, please rest assured. I have come here today only for Madam Yu. I do not care about anything else. However, I must remind you that with so many corpses found in the mansion, including the families of officials, it should be handed over to the government for investigation. Otherwise, if the Prime Minister's residence handles it on its own, no matter how it is handled, it will raise a lot of speculation, which will be detrimental to the Prime Minister's residence."

Having said that, he ignored Situ Yue's unpleasant expression and looked at Yu Shuyan with a kind smile:

“Madam Yu, come with me out of the manor. You’ve gone through so much trouble, and if others aren’t grateful, that’s their character problem, you don’t need to take it to heart. Come with me out of the manor, I still want to ask you about the matter of the Tracking Butterfly.”

His words were clearly a veiled criticism of Zhou Guoye and Wang Zinian.

She helped them find their sister, and instead of being grateful, they hurled insults at her. They are truly of questionable character.

In an instant, Zhou Guoye and Wang Zinian's expressions both turned somewhat unpleasant.

With so many people present, everyone took every word Old Qin said to heart.

At this point, Old Qin gave them a bad reputation, and you can imagine how bad their reputation became after that.

Instantly, both of their faces paled, and their eyes, secretly fixed on Yu Shuyan, were filled with undisguised malice.

Yu Shuyan completely ignored it, smiling as she took a step back, slightly bent over, and reached out her hand:

"Please, Elder Qin!"

Seeing that she was not at all shy, Old Qin was even more pleased. He laughed heartily a few times and took the lead in walking out.

Yu Shuyan and the other elders followed them out and walked away.

After taking a few steps, he suddenly seemed to remember something and turned back to look at Gong Qiuyan:

"Your Highness, please wait a moment. After I finish speaking with Elder Qin, I will return to the manor with you to treat the young prince."

Gong Qiuyan's eyes suddenly lit up. She had thought that because she hadn't firmly protected Yu Shuyan, she wouldn't have agreed so readily to go back to the manor with her for treatment.

Unexpectedly, she was willing to go back to the manor with her so unconditionally.

Originally, she was wondering if Yu Shuyan was overrated and didn't have much hope that she could cure Yunchen.

But at this moment, facing Yu Shuyan's open and honest eyes, she suddenly felt that perhaps Yunchen could be saved.

Disregarding everything else, he immediately followed Yu Shuyan with a smile:

"Miss Yu, you go first, I'll wait for you in the carriage."

Yu Shuyan nodded slightly and followed Qin Lao.

Cui Rongxing watched as almost everyone left, glanced at the corpses scattered on the ground, and wanted to say something.

However, noticing Situ Yue's icy expression, he didn't dare say anything and instead gave a wink to the constables following behind him.

He and his entourage quickly disappeared.

"Situ Yue, you are truly... intelligent!"

Gong Beige glanced sarcastically at the corpses scattered on the ground and continued,

"I'm warning you, I don't care how vicious and unruly you are in private, but if you affect me and my brother, I will make you wish you were dead!"

After saying that, he gave her another deep look, flicked his sleeve, and stormed off with his entourage.

Following behind her, Wen Lang's lowered eyes were filled with ruthlessness and resentment.

On what grounds? On what grounds does Yu Shuyan have?

She was a discarded woman he looked down upon, a lowly merchant's daughter. How could she have such a high aura? How could she earn Qin Lao's respect?

Why? Why does this bitch have the right to do this?

She should be following him around, begging for his attention. Why is she now completely ignoring him?

She's just a bitch, she deserves to die, she deserves to die!

"Ah~"

He was so engrossed in venting his resentment that he didn't notice Gong Beige, who was walking ahead, suddenly stop.

If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have bumped into her.

He stopped abruptly and immediately bowed his head to apologize:

"Your Highness, I'm sorry, I just..."

Gong Beige turned her head slightly, staring at him with disgust.

"Wen Lang, you better remember this: the title of Imperial Son-in-Law is just that—a title. If you ever dare to do anything without my permission again, the consequences will be far beyond what you can bear."

Wen Lang sensed the chill in her words, his heart trembled, but he immediately complied:

"Your Highness, please let me explain. Yu Shuyan is a scheming and treacherous woman. She framed me, harmed my own husband, imprisoned me, and tried to kill me. Your Highness, if it weren't for you, I might already be dead in prison. I am now the Prince Consort—your person! Are you going to let this vile woman be so smug?!"

Gong Beige's eyes narrowed slowly, then he suddenly sneered:

"Even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner. Yu Shuyan, you can go die, take her whole family with you!"

Wen Lang's eyes held a complex expression, a mixture of embarrassment and, more than anything, satisfaction:

Yu Shuyan, you've wronged me so badly, and you've taken your whole family to their deaths. You owe me this!
