A female coroner arrived at the Jingzhao Prefecture.

Chapter 33 Yandere Beauty
Song Li was speechless and choked with emotion.

Since he started interacting with Mu Qingcheng, he has been speechless more and more often.

This coroner, Mu, is both clever and emotionally intelligent in her official duties and in dealing with people; yet, when it comes to matters of love and romance, she's a complete blockhead. If you point something out to her, she won't understand, but if you point it out to someone else, she'll immediately understand.

Sighing inwardly, Song Li tried her best to appear kind and approachable, saying, "Coroner Mu, the magistrate is waiting for you. Please go in quickly."

Mu Qingcheng was still worried, "Then what about them..."

Song Li said, "This will not be repeated."

"Thank you."

After bowing, Mu Qingcheng strode towards the bedroom.

It was indeed her fault for dragging the maids into this mess. The Duke's mansion had very strict rules, and the adults were very strict about separating public and private matters. They were very gentle when working in the Jingzhao Prefecture, but after returning to the Duke's mansion and becoming the second young master, the hierarchy became clear and rewards and punishments were measured.

Therefore, once today's matter is resolved, she will never come again.

The bedroom was divided into an outer room and an inner room, separated by a screen.

Mu Qingcheng stopped behind the screen, unable to see what was happening inside, but able to hear breathing. She said, "My lord, your humble servant Mu Qingcheng greets you! May you recover soon and return to the yamen to preside over government affairs! It is getting late, and I dare not disturb your rest. I will take my leave now!"

After speaking, she put down the lamp, turned around and left.

"Coroner Mu!"

Unexpectedly, Song Shuyu's displeased voice came from the inner room, "Song Li said that you were concerned about my illness and came to visit me. How come..." Mu Qingcheng suddenly turned around, her eyes full of surprise. She was concerned about Song Shuyu? Wasn't it Song Li who kept pestering her to come and visit him?
Before she could figure out the intricacies of the situation, she heard Song Shuyu say in a commanding tone, "Come in!"

Mu Qingcheng had no choice but to pick up the lamp, walk around the screen, and slowly enter the inner room.

Song Shuyu was sitting on the headboard, a thick fur blanket covering his waist. His once handsome face, like that of an immortal, was now pale and weak, dull and lifeless, like a sickly beauty, making people feel sorry for him and heartbroken.

"Now that you're here, why leave without even glancing at me?"

Perhaps it was because she was ill that she was so vulnerable. Song Shuyu glanced at her, her tone and expression full of grievance, "Look at you chatting and laughing with the servants, where is there even a hint of concern for me?"

"Cough cough."

Mu Qingcheng coughed twice guiltily. It seemed that Song Li had interfered and deceived the adult. But after hearing the adult say this, she could not expose Song Li's lie. Besides, the sick adult looked like a broken doll. She just wanted to coax and comfort him. How could she bear to make him unhappy?
Therefore, she racked her brains to comfort him, "My lord, you misunderstand. It's chilly at night, and I was afraid of passing on the chill to you and worsening your condition, so I thought I'd leave as soon as possible. As for joking with the maids, it's just that I'm a boring person, and making more friends makes life a bit more interesting."

Song Shuyu snorted coldly, "Is that so? I don't think so. In the future, you should stop joking with them. When it comes to being interesting, I am much more interesting than them."

"My lord..." Mu Qingcheng's smile was more like a grimace.

Song Shuyu's gaze fell on her hand. "What's that?"

"Oh, by the way, this glass lamp is a gift I specially bought for you, sir, hoping it will bring you joy during your recovery. My salary is limited, so please don't find it offensive."
