The legitimate daughter returns to the capital and embarks on a splendid life, tearing apart the fak

The physician's eyelids twitched suddenly, and he lowered his head, stammering, "This humble servant...this humble servant does not understand what Miss means."

"Dr. Du, do I need to remind you? After you left the Yun family, you encountered assassins on the road, didn't you?" Yun Jin interrupted him, her tone indifferent, as if she were talking about something unrelated to herself.

"You should know better than anyone who sent those assassins. The reason they treated you this way is probably because you know too much."

Doctor Du's face turned pale instantly, his lips trembled slightly, but he still stubbornly insisted, "Miss is joking. I am just an ordinary physician. Who would target me, and there's no need for that..."

Yun Jin looked at him and sneered, "Is that so? You must remember how you got into the Yun family, right? If I'm not mistaken, it was Liu Zhixue who introduced you, wasn't it? And she was the one who instructed you to poison Yun Lang, wasn't she?"

She paused, then reminded him, "Dr. Du, you should know who wants you to live and who wants you to die first, shouldn't you?"

Doctor Du's body stiffened abruptly. He looked up at Yun Jin, wanting to say something, but couldn't utter a single word.

Yun Jin didn't urge him, but just watched him quietly.

Xiao Jingyan suddenly stood up. He walked step by step to Physician Du, looking down at him with a cold gaze:

"Let me give you a piece of advice: speak the truth. Miss Yun has a good temper and is willing to talk to you slowly. But I don't have a good temper."

The physician from the Du family suddenly raised his head and looked at the tall, slender man in front of him.

He vaguely heard the guards call him "Your Highness" when he entered, and now he heard him refer to himself as "this Prince." His mind went blank. Your Highness? This is... Prince Yu?

Xiao Jingyan seemed to see through his thoughts, a slight smile playing on his lips as he said in a calm tone, "I am Prince Yu. You should have heard of me!"

Doctor Du's pupils suddenly contracted. It was actually the Prince Yu from the capital, who was rumored to be unpredictable and eccentric. How could he be with Yun Jin?

What is the background of this unassuming adopted daughter of the Yun family?

Cold sweat trickled down Physician Du's temples. He turned to Yun Jin, his voice finally tinged with fear: "Second Miss, I've truly said everything I could. Whatever you wish to know, if I know the answer, I will tell you without reservation. But what you've said… about Madam's health… I really don't know where to begin!"

Yun Jin stared at him silently for a long while before speaking coldly, "Doctor Du, you've been with the Yun family for over ten years. You know better than anyone why Yun Lang's health deteriorated to that state. As the family physician, you couldn't possibly have failed to diagnose my mother's health problems. But why haven't you said anything?"

Doctor Du's face turned from white to ashen. He opened his mouth, but after a long pause, managed to squeeze out a few words:

"Madam's health is indeed... indeed fine..."

"No problem?" Yun Jin interrupted him sharply, "I'm asking you, where did the extremely cold medicine that my mother gave me when I was giving birth to Lang Ge come from?"

Doctor Du opened his mouth, his face draining of color, but he pursed his lips and refused to speak.

Xiao Jingyan frowned, turned to Yun Jin and said, "Leave it to me."

Yun Jin nodded, leaned back in her chair, and said nothing more.

Xiao Jingyan stood up, walked to the wall, took a thin, willow-leaf-shaped knife from a row of torture instruments, and twirled it twice between his fingers.

The blade gleamed coldly in the dim lamplight. He glanced at Physician Du, his gaze as indifferent as if he were looking at a piece of merchandise waiting to be sold. His voice was soft, yet it struck Physician Du's heart like a hammer blow:

"Doctor Du, you should have heard of my reputation. I have a rule when judging people: I'll give you three chances. If you don't answer the first time, I'll ask a second time. If you still don't answer the second time, I won't ask a third time. Do you understand what that means?"

He weighed the small knife in his hand and asked again, "Now, have you thought of an answer to the question Miss Yun just asked you?"

The physician, Du, stared intently at the knife in the man's hand, his voice trembling, "The...Madam's health is indeed... indeed..."

"What exactly?" Xiao Jingyan interrupted him, suddenly grabbing Doctor Du's bound right hand with one hand, while his other hand had already grabbed a knife, the blade pressed against the base of Doctor Du's little finger, his voice icy as he said:

"Doctor Du, you are a doctor, you should know far more about the number of bones and tendons in a person than I do. I would like to ask, how many joints are there in a person's fingers?"

Doctor Du's face turned deathly pale, and cold sweat poured down his face.

"The ten fingers are connected to the heart," Xiao Jingyan said slowly, his tone casual and devoid of any warmth. "I suppose Dr. Du hasn't experienced this yet? Would you like me to let you experience it for yourself?"

Yun Jin sat in her chair, watching the scene quietly without saying a word to stop it.

She became even more curious about this man; how many sides did he really have?

When he's with himself, he's gentle and doting.

When facing outsiders, he is sometimes cynical and sometimes taciturn.

Today, he showed a different side of himself, captivating her completely.

After Xiao Jingyan finished speaking, the blade deepened its penetration, the icy touch spreading from the base of his fingers to his entire palm. Doctor Du finally broke down, almost screaming:

"I'll talk! I'll talk! Madam does have a health problem! It's not an illness, it's the medicine! Someone has drugged her!"

Yun Jin suddenly sat up straight, her gaze darkening, and asked sharply, "What medicine?"

"It's... an extremely cold medicine," the physician of the Du family said in a trembling voice. At this point, he had no way out and could only tell the truth. "That medicine is extremely cold in nature and will damage... the uterus. If that medicine were given to an ordinary person, a light dose would cause them to feel cold and have irregular menstruation, while a heavy dose... would render them infertile for life. The dose that the lady received was... extremely heavy!"

Yun Jin's fingertips trembled with anger. Seeing this, Xiao Jingyan quickly interjected, "What kind of medicine is that? Where did it come from?"

The physician, Du, shook his head and hurriedly said, "I later investigated privately and found that it was a slow-acting poison powder from the south called 'Cold Jade Powder,' produced in the southern borderlands and not found in the capital. I truly do not know how it came to be."

Xiao Jingyan slightly lowered his knife, but still didn't remove his fingers. Instead, he asked, "Why did you listen to that Liu woman?"

The physician, Du, paused for a moment, as if summoning all his courage, before speaking: "I... I killed someone in my hometown before coming to the capital. It wasn't intentional, but I was still imprisoned for it. I was a traitor to the Liu family, so..."

Xiao Jingyan looked at him and suddenly said, "You're not telling the truth!"
