A female coroner arrived at the Jingzhao Prefecture.

Chapter 72 I am not even as good as a corpse!

The two whispered to each other, and Song Shuyu simply watched quietly without interfering. He trusted Mu Qingcheng; whatever her intentions were, they were ultimately for the purpose of solving the case, and he had no reason not to support her.

But instead of just talking, she suddenly started hitting!

Even Lian Sanhu was startled and blurted out, "Coroner Mu, what are you doing?"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Mu Qingcheng was seen holding Sanhu's chin with one hand and touching his face with the other, behaving like a lecherous man taking advantage of him!

The dozens of people present gasped and stared wide-eyed!

Is Mu the coroner suddenly this fierce?

Song Shuyu was so angry that his lungs felt like they were about to explode. He strode forward, grabbed Mu Qingcheng's fair wrist, and whispered, "Have you not taken my words to heart at all?"

"My lord." Mu Qingcheng frowned as she saw his angry face, yet his tone betrayed his grievance. "My lord, do you no longer trust your humble servant?"

Song Shuyu gritted his teeth, "I believe you, but you can't give me..."

Before he could even utter the words "being cuckolded," Mu Qingcheng pushed him away, saying in a matter-of-fact tone, "Then please, sir, do not interfere with this humble servant."

"Obstruction?"

Song Shuyu could hardly believe what he had heard. Just as he was about to pull her back, Song Li grabbed him and whispered in his ear, "Master, don't be anxious. Coroner Mu is probably 'examining a corpse.' In Coroner Mu's eyes, there is only the difference between the living and the dead; he has no concept of men and women!"

Song Shuyu was puzzled. "But he's still alive, so why are we starting the tests?" "Please wait and see." Song Li tried his best to suppress his master's impatience, while also hoping that his judgment was correct.

Ignoring Sanhu's accusations, Mu Qingcheng carefully touched Sanhu's face, especially the area near his hairline, leaving no inch untouched. Finally, she took out a silk handkerchief, had someone soak it in water, and personally washed Sanhu's face.

Song Li was supporting Song Shuyu when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his arm. He looked down and saw Song Shuyu pinching him hard. Her handsome face, as smooth as jade, was swollen with anger. "She hasn't even washed my face yet!"

"Master, please calm down. Coroner Mu is performing an autopsy, not..."

"I am not even as good as a corpse!"

Hearing Song Shuyu's self-deprecating words, Song Li's eyes widened. Was it really that serious? Why was she comparing herself to a dead person? The coroner Mu hadn't just never washed his master's face, she hadn't even touched his hand! No, this jealousy was inappropriate; she was being petty and lacked magnanimity!

Finally, Mu Qingcheng put away the handkerchief and concluded: "Alright, it's confirmed, this kid didn't disguise himself."

The hand that was gripping Song Li finally loosened, and Song Shuyu's tense face visibly relaxed, even curling up the corners of his lips. "As expected of the coroner, Mu is indeed conducting an examination. I knew that Mu is a man of principle, and I took my words to heart."

Mu Qingcheng was taken aback. "What did the master say?"

Song Li immediately stepped back half a step to avoid his arm being crippled!
"So, Counselor Mu suspected that someone else was impersonating me?" Sanhu realized and murmured, "How could anyone else care about the Madam like I do? Except for the short, fat man. But he shouldn't have risked his life. He's so stubborn. I wonder if the Madam will forgive him?"

Thank you so much for all your support, my darlings! I saw it all in the comments section. Thank you so much!
