Chapter 289 - Ruined Reputation
Aside from this, Liu Shi also asked Minister Jiang to get a physician to check on her daughter. It was obvious that Yun Qianxue was not in a stable state of mind.
Immediately, Minister Jiang sent for a physician and found out that Yun Qianxue was indeed drugged. With her current state of mind, it proves that she wouldn’t be able to kill anyone. Aside from that, the bloody handprint on the murder weapon did not match Yun Qianxue’s hand.
Not expecting such a result, Chiang Xuancheng felt a little annoyed. He pointed to Yun Qianxue and said, “I want someone to examine this woman’s body for any injuries or signs of struggle. If there is any sign of struggle on her body, that would mean that my nephew’s death had something to do with her. If nothing is found, I will admit that she had nothing to do with this.”
Chiang Xuancheng had no other choice of action. He didn’t believe that his nephew would be killed for no reason. In other words, maybe Yun Qianxue killed him because he had tried to force himself on her or threatened her.
If his nephew did anything to Yun Qianxue, surely there would be bruises on Yun Qianxue.
‘With a single bruise, I’ll be able to argue that Yun Qianxue had killed my nephew.’
Yun Lei wanted to refuse this, but Liu Shi had already agreed to it.
With such a messy incident, Liu Shi felt that it was best to have evidence to clear her daughter’s name. If it meant checking her body for bruises, she would allow it in order to prove her daughter’s innocence.
That was why Liu Shi did not object to Chiang Xuancheng’s request.
Soon, Minister Jiang summoned a female physician over to examine Yun Qianxue. After a brief examination, it was proved that Yun Qianxue’s body had no bruises or signs of struggle. She was also still a virgin. This basically ruled out any suspicion of violence between the two.
With that, Chiang Xuancheng had nothing more to say.
Yun Lei glared at Chiang Xuancheng and said with a stern tone, “Minister Jiang, may I bring my daughter back home now?”
Although her daughter was alright, her reputation was ruined. Not only was she found with a dead person, her body was also examined for bruises. Although her innocence was proven in the end, this did not mean that her reputation was saved. After such an incident, none of the noble families would accept her. Even as a concubine, she would not be accepted.
Yun Lei was filled with killing intent.
Seeing him like this, Minister Jiang did not say anything. Even Chiang Xuancheng had nothing to say about this.
Yun Lei did not want to stay here any longer. However, as soon as the family of three came to the door of the room, they heard someone yelling from outside, “who is it?”
“It seems like the murderer! Go after him immediately!”
Immediately some men went after the suspicious figure. A soldier then came into the room and reported, “General Chiang, Minister Jiang, we saw a suspicious person in black just now. We suspect he’s the murderer and has given chase to him.”
Minister Jiang let out a sigh of relief, looked at Chiang Xuancheng, and said, “It seems someone had framed Yun Qianxue.”
Chiang Xuancheng clenched his hands and said, “If I catch this person I’ll kill him for sure!”
Yun Lei did not care about the matter anymore and quickly left with Liu Shi and Yun Qianxue.
