“Miss, I went to stop Doctor Qiu, but he was taken away by a servant working for Duke Xing. I didn’t dare to come out of the place where I hid.” Qing’er said.

When Qing’er came back, Shao Wanru had just come back. After freshening up, Shao Wanru sat on the couch, and Yujie stood quietly behind her after serving tea.

Hearing Qing’er’s words, Shao Wanru looked up in shock and asked, “Duke Xing is in the manor today?”

She had thought that Duke Xing was not in the mansion, because he was usually not in the mansion at this time.

Qing’er shook her head and said, “I’m not sure of this, but when the two guards came to take Doctor Qiu away, they claimed that they were sent by Duke Xing.”

Shao Wanru raised her long eyelashes, which fluttered twice, and asked, “When you waited for Doctor Qiu at the back door, the two guards didn’t show up. They showed up when Doctor Qiu got there?”

“I hid there, waiting for Doctor Qiu, for fear that he would run away alertly when seeing me from a distance and I wouldn’t be able to go all out to chase after him. I planned to knock him out and bring him here when he got there. Unexpectedly, after I waited for a while, I saw two guards show up and wait there. After that, Doctor Qiu got there!”

Qing’er said after thinking for a while.

Qing’er was the first one to get there, followed by the two guards and then Doctor Qiu. When Doctor Qiu showed up, the two guards took him away.

In this mansion, the person, the one who could dispatch the guards, had to be Duke Xing Shao Jing indeed.

“They didn’t find you?” Shao Wanru asked.

“They couldn’t have found me. After I saw them get there, I hid myself deeper and came back long after they left.” Qing’er replied.

This was the reason why she came back late. If she came back right after the two guards took Doctor Qiu away, she would come back much earlier.

“Miss, why did Duke Xing take Doctor Qiu away? Could it be that he intended to inquire about the real cause of Miss Wang’s death?” Yujie rolled her eyes and said with confusion.

“How long has it been since they took Doctor Qiu away?” With a sparkle in her eyes, Shao Wanru asked.

“It has been more than one and a half hour or so!” Qing’er said with certainty.

“Miss Wang was still alive at that time!” Yujie exclaimed and covered her mouth with her hands. Checking the time, she found that Wang Yishu was still alive at that time.

“What a coincidence!” Shao Wanru suddenly smiled and whispered.

It seemed more like a coincidence that Doctor Qiu was taken away by her Second Uncle. Did he do that because someone needed help from Doctor Qiu? He, who made this move at the right time, seemed to have everything under his control.

She found that her Second Uncle was not simple!

“Miss, what should we do now? Since Doctor Qiu has been taken away, we will definitely be unable to get him back!” Yujie, who focused on another aspect of the problem, said.

“It doesn’t matter. Let it be. On the other hand, Wang Shengxue managed to escape from Duke Xing’s Mansion!” Shao Wanru said indifferently.

Wang Shengxue left in a hurry, even leaving his sister’s body here. On one hand, it was because he was cold-blooded and had little family affection for Wang Yishu. On the other hand, it was because he was very cunning.

He took away the evidence under Wang Yishu’s pillow in front of everyone. It was said to be the identification proof of several famous doctors in the capital city. If it was made public, the whole Duke Xing’s Mansion would suffer a storm and even Duke Xing might be implicated. Besides, Shao Yanru would have no hope of being a princess, and she might even be disqualified from marrying any prince.

Of course, something, that even Shao Wanru did not know, might be exposed.

Wang Shengxue dared to threaten Old Madam and Shao Yanru face to face because they were both women, who would panic in that situation despite their viciousness. But what if it was Duke Xing who he confronted at that time?

Shao Wanru was sure that Wang Shengxue might not even have the chance to escape from Duke Xing’s Mansion.

Or maybe he could escape, but the evidence in his hands would definitely be snatched from him.

It was the most important reason why Wang Shengxue left in a hurry. Shao Wanru saw it clearly at that time. But she was glad to see Wang Shengxue leave, so she took it as a show and only gave Shao Yanru a tip in private later.

Shao Yanru, who was not stupid, immediately thought of this, so she suddenly went limp and fell heavily. If she could make a prompt decision to prevent Wang Shengxue from escaping at all costs, Duke Xing’s Mansion would not be held back by Wang Shengxue.

After that, Shao Yanru hurried back and should be going to turn to Duke Xing to find a way to seize Wang Shengxue. As long as they seized Wang Shengxue, the evidence in his hands would inevitably fall into the hands of Duke Xing’s Mansion and he would have no evidence to threaten Duke Xing’s Mansion.

Shao Wanru left after Shao Yanru!

“Miss, will Duke Xing stop Childe Wang and take the evidence back?” Yujie asked worriedly. She didn’t understand the whole thing until she heard Shao Wanru’s explanation.

Like Shao Wanru, they all hoped that Wang Shengxue could make a big deal out of it. Even if he didn’t make a big deal out of it, they were very pleased to see the whole Duke Xing’s Mansion, especially Madam of Duke Xing and the First Miss Shao who had always intended to ruin Shao Wanru with various vicious plots, be threatened by him.

“Wang Shengxue is not stupid!” Shao Wanru shook her head and said. Shao Yanru misjudged the situation this time.

Wang Shengxue had never fought alone, because he had the support from his concubine, Ning Xueqing, who managed to be Wang Shengxue’s legal wife in the last life by playing a trick at Old Madam’s birthday party. Everyone thought that they sincerely loved each other and sympathized with them. Such a woman was obviously not simple.

In this life, Shao Wanru had never met Ning Xueqing, but only knew that because of what had happened three years ago, Ning Xueqing only became Wang Shengxue’s concubine although she still married him. In this case, it was impossible for Ning Xueqing to be unaware of Madam of Duke Xing’s plot to kill Wang Yishu. This woman had always been scheming. It must be she who suggested Wang Shengxue asking the doctors in the capital city to identify Wang Yishu’s dregs of decoction.

Since Ning Xueqing had intervened in it, she definitely would not allow the evidence in Wang Shengxue’s hands to be snatched by Duke Xing’s Mansion, which made it increasingly interesting.

After Wang Yishu’s death, all the evidence was in Wang Shengxue’s hands. What was her good Second Uncle going to do next? She could see the power of Duke Xing’s Mansion from it and how much she had underestimated the power of Duke Xing’s Mansion!

The more powerful Duke Xing’s Mansion was, the more likely it was to have something to do with what had happened to her father. She was looking forward to seeing her Second Uncle’s real power!

However, her Second Uncle had always been very shrewd, so she didn’t know how much his hidden power he would show since she had no idea of his real power!

“Miss, do you mean that it’s not easy to deal with Childe Wang and Duke Xing may not be able to capture him directly and get the evidence from him?” Qing’er thought for a moment and said.

In this respect, she was more thoughtful than Yujie and the others.

“I think so. Let’s wait and see!” Shao Wanru said with a nod and deep eyes.

“Miss, will my failure to stop Doctor Qiu spoil your plan?” Qing’er was very convinced of Shao Wanru’s calculation. Since Shao Wanru said so, she turned back to the last subject.

Shao Wanru shook her head and said, “It doesn’t matter. I just wanted to ask Doctor Qiu about something, but he had no practical influence on Wang Yishu’s matter. Moreover, Wang Shengxue is the key to this matter now.”

It was indeed an idle move to send Qing’er to stop Doctor Qiu. The news from Mingqiu Nun aroused Shao Wanru’s interest in this Doctor Qiu.

In two lives, Doctor Qiu was around her, and she almost let him escape under her nose again. She had an intuition that Doctor Qiu was very important.

Of course, it was not only because he was Wang Yishu’s doctor. Doctor Qiu had said that Wang Yishu wanted to meet Shao Wanru and her words were good when death was near. After Wang Yishu’s death, there was no testimony of the witness. He could say that it was Wang Yishu’s idea to meet Shao Wanru, and no one could prove that he lied.

He just passed on a message for Wang Yishu out of kindness. Even if Wang Yishu was really set up by someone, it had nothing to do with Doctor Qiu.

Regarding Wang Yishu’s sudden death, as a proficient doctor, Doctor Qiu would let no one find out what he had done in secret so that he could throw off suspicion.

There were several other patients dying in Doctor Qiu’s treatment, but he stayed out of all these. It could be seen that he had his own way of treating patients, so he wouldn’t be blamed for Wang Yishu’s death.

As for the dregs of decoction, Shao Wanru could conclude that there was absolutely no problem with the prescription given by Doctor Qiu. In this case, he wouldn’t be blamed for the dregs of decoction going wrong. After all, as a doctor, he was not the one in charge of boiling the medicinal herbs. It was very easy for someone in Duke Xing’s Mansion to do something to the medicine.

She would like to see how Duke Xing’s Mansion was going to deal with him. She was not in a hurry. Doctor Qiu was unwilling to live in obscurity…

“To treat Prince Zhou?” Doctor Qiu looked at Duke Xing in surprise and said.

“Yes, go to treat Prince Zhou. His Highness has broken his leg and moves with difficulty. Hearing that you are quite a proficient doctor, he specially sent for you. Now pack up and go to Prince Zhou’s Mansion!” Shao Jing, Duke Xing, sat behind a large desk and said kindly.

“Shall I go now?” Doctor Qiu looked up and asked.

“Yes. Those sent by Prince Zhou are waiting outside. You can go directly!” Duke Xing said with a nod.

“But Miss Wang in the mansion…” Doctor Qiu hesitated for a moment and finally asked the question.

“It has little to do with you. You shall go to Prince Zhou’s Mansion now. Just remember to stay away from Wang Shengxue when you meet him again!” Duke Xing said meaningfully.

He meant that Doctor Qiu had something to do with Wang Yishu’s death, but he didn’t say it bluntly. Doctor Qiu realized that Duke Xing was threatening him. He lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said to Duke Xing with joined hands, “I’ll do as you ask!”

“Go ahead. I will send a manservant to carry your medicine chest. There are more rules in Prince Zhou’s Mansion than in Duke Xing’s Mansion. Since you are a famous doctor, you should behave like a famous doctor. It is inappropriate for you to carry the medicine chest by yourself!” Duke Xing said and nodded with an increasingly amiable smile.

He meant to deploy someone around Doctor Qiu, but Doctor Qiu had to agree. Duke Xing had made the situation clear to Doctor Qiu by telling him to stay away from Wang Shengxue. Doctor Qiu believed that Duke Xing had many ways to make him admit that Wang Yishu’s death had something to do with him!

In other words, if he rejected Duke Xing’s supervision, he could not leave Duke Xing’s Mansion alive!

Those who suited their actions to the time were wise. He didn’t dare to refuse to do so…
