I transmigrated into a farming novel and started with a campervan.
Chapter 86 Xie Yu, who refused to help someone in distress
The coroner was invited from Liangping County, and not only that, the most famous doctor from Liangping County also came.
They quickly concluded that although the woman died from poisoning, it was not from the medicine in Wang Yiyi's sachet.
The woman had been ill before her death, and because her family was poor, she had never been able to afford treatment. She would go to the mountains to dig up some medicinal herbs on her own.
This time, the medicine was too strong, and the woman's constitution was too weak, so she couldn't withstand it for a while.
Magistrate Li flew into a rage: "Where did you get this sachet? Your family couldn't possibly afford it!"
When the man realized he had been caught, he kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "I stole it. I wanted to sell it to get some money to treat my wife's illness. But when I got back, I found that my wife had already died. I was confused and did something wrong. Please, Your Honor, spare my life."
Wang Yiyi asked sternly, "Since you're asking for money, why won't you take the silver I'm offering? Who's instructing you?"
The story was incredibly moving, but the man's attitude that day was nothing like that of someone deeply in love with his wife.
The man gritted his teeth and refused to admit it: "No one instructed me. I was just momentarily blinded by greed. I just wanted to extort more money."
"But you clearly want me to pay with my life!" Wang Yiyi refused to give up.
The assassination attempt was always a sword hanging over her head; she couldn't rest easy until she found the person behind it.
Magistrate Li interrupted her, saying, "Boss Wang, this man is pitiful. Let's be lenient with him. He has an eighty-year-old mother and three children to support."
Yesterday, her daughter confessed to her that she had framed Wang Yiyi.
He was filled with shock and anger, and slapped his daughter hard.
But what did my daughter say?
"It's been three days, and the Xie family hasn't sent anyone over. This means General Xie doesn't take this person seriously at all. She's been toying with you all along. You, a dignified official, have been played like a puppet by a girl. It's shameful if word gets out."
He didn't believe it; General Xie had clearly stood up for Wang Yiyi.
But his daughter's words kept lingering in his mind.
Moreover, he heard that someone in the prison tried to kill Wang Yiyi a couple of days ago. Tell me, besides him, who else in Shi County would dare to make a move in the prison?
He doesn't see Wang Yiyi the same way he used to.
She didn't want her daughter to get involved either.
Magistrate Li had always been very obsequious to her, so why was he acting so businesslike now? Wang Yiyi immediately became alert.
He didn't press further, but instead respectfully replied, "Yes."
The man had no money and had an elderly mother and children to support, so Magistrate Li gave him a scolding and then let the matter drop.
When Wang Yiyi left the county government office, her family was waiting for her, including Chen Dusheng.
Li hugged her tightly, her heart aching: "You've lost weight. When we get back, I'll make sure you get some nourishment."
Wang Yiyi quickly broke free from her embrace: "Manager Chen, why are you here?"
Madam Li slapped him across the face: "If it weren't for Young Master Chen, we wouldn't have been able to save you this time. What kind of attitude is this? Hurry up and thank your savior."
Wang Yiyi thanked him in a daze.
She always thought that Xie Yu had sent someone over.
Daya explained from the side, "I kept waiting for news of their release, and I was really worried. I didn't know what to do, so I went to the teacher. The coroner and the doctor were both brought over by the teacher."
She was desperate and grasping at straws. When she had no other choice, she remembered that her third sister had said that the teacher was quite capable, so she went to him.
Wang Yi cursed Xie Yu in his heart.
What a heartless bastard!
She sincerely thanked Chen Dusheng again. It was a great deal to have someone like him as the manager, someone who could get a coroner and a doctor from the county magistrate.
Chen Dusheng acted as if he had done something very ordinary, cupping his hands in a respectful gesture: "I've already inquired about the man's address. Would you like to go over there, sir?"
Wang Yi waved his hand: "No need, he was just following orders."
She caught a glimpse of Li Xian'er standing at the entrance of the county government office. If she had been doubting before, seeing her now confirmed it.
Seeing Wang Yi looking over, Li Xian'er stopped hiding and walked over arrogantly, whispering in Wang Yi's ear, "You're lucky this time. Without General Xie's protection, let's see how long you can be so arrogant."
Wang Yiyi retorted without hesitation: "Miss Li, please take care. Don't let Lord Li one day be a white-haired man burying his black-haired one."
Li Xian'er was so angry that her hands trembled: "You just wait."
After saying that, he stormed into the county government office.
Wang Yiyi's expression hardened. What did Li Xian'er mean just now? Did Xie Yu really not care about her life or death?
Did Magistrate Li change his attitude because of this incident?
She suddenly felt that the assassination attempt in prison wasn't so important anymore.
"You all go home first. I'll take Mr. Chen to see the shop." Wang Yiyi's expression was solemn. Ignoring her family's expressions, she turned and headed in one direction.
Chen Dusheng glanced at Li Xian'er's back, said nothing, and followed Wang Yiyi away.
Li wanted to chase after her, but Da Ya stopped her, saying, "Give Third Sister some space."
The third sister's expression changed drastically after hearing Li Xian'er's words. Li Xian'er's voice was soft, and she didn't hear it clearly, but it probably wasn't something nice.
Only after they had walked a distance did Chen Dusheng ask, "Was it the magistrate's daughter who sent people to do this?"
Wang Yi nodded. The poisoning was undoubtedly Li Xian'er's doing, but the assassination attempt in the prison didn't seem like it.
She opened her mouth, but ultimately chose not to tell Chen Dusheng about it.
Chen Dusheng paused for a moment: "Is the boss just going to let her off like this?"
From the first time he met Wang Yiyi, he knew that Wang Yiyi was not the kind of person who would swallow her anger.
Wang Yiyi had a headache, rubbed his temples, and said helplessly, "This Li Xian'er is the daughter of Magistrate Li, and I can't do anything about her for the time being."
Li Xian'er has provoked her time and time again. She has wanted to get rid of her for a long time, but she couldn't do anything to Li Xian'er when the county magistrate treated her differently before, let alone now.
Chen Dusheng lowered his voice: "I heard that the Li family is discussing marriage with the governor."
Wang Yiyi stopped in her tracks, looking on with curiosity: "How did you find out about this?"
Before there's any definite information, both families usually keep a low profile. Even relatives and friends might not know about it. How did Chen Dusheng find out?
Chen Dusheng didn't hide anything: "When a classmate was in the governor's mansion before, he asked about the caravan, and he asked a little more about it."
When the topic of caravans came up, Wang Yiyi stopped the previous conversation: "There's no need to inquire about caravans for now. I've found someone who can bring us goods from the Northwest."
Chen Dusheng responded and said no more, quietly following Wang Yiyi's side.
Wang Yiyi remained silent the whole way. Perhaps she could make a fuss about this marriage; otherwise, once the two families were engaged, it would be difficult for her to deal with Li Xian'er.
The two hadn't walked far when they arrived at the shop that Wang Yiyi had rented before.
"Manager Chen, how's the shop?"
Chen Dusheng looked around and praised, "This location is good. It's quiet in the middle of the city, with a decent flow of people but not too noisy. The shop is also spacious, and the second floor can be used as private rooms to receive some distinguished ladies."
