A female coroner arrived at the Jingzhao Prefecture.

Chapter 195 Public Injury Should Be the Responsibility of the Adults
After renovation, the side room was transformed into the boudoir of a noble lady.

From the furniture and furnishings to the decorations, including mattresses, quilts, tea sets, and tableware, everything was of superior quality and quite valuable. Even in this desolate season, the white jade vase on the windowsill was filled with different varieties of fresh flowers every two days.

At this moment, silver charcoal was burning in the room, and there was a ceramic casserole on the stove, simmering something, with a faint smell of egg white wafting through the air.

These past few days have been incredibly busy, and Mu Qingcheng hasn't had a chance to properly appreciate this house that has transformed from a sparrow into a phoenix.

She hadn't lived the life of a pampered young lady for many years, and for a moment she felt a little out of sorts.

"Miss Mu."

Liu Mama lifted the beaded curtain and came in. Seeing Mu Qingcheng sitting on the bed, her eyes lit up, and she said with a smile, "Miss is awake. The bird's nest soup is ready, just in time to eat it."

"Bird's nest?" Mu Qingcheng was taken aback, then waved her hand and said, "I'm just a coroner, how could I afford bird's nest? Liu Mama, please give it to the adults."

Liu Mama lifted the lid of the casserole, ladled out a bowl of bird's nest, placed it on the dining table, and then came over to help Mu Qingcheng get out of bed, saying at the same time, "Miss is injured and needs to take good care of herself. Although bird's nest is precious, it is really nothing to our Duke's mansion. The key is that this is a work-related injury, and it should be the adults' responsibility, so Miss can rest assured and take it."

Mu Qingcheng wanted to dress and put on her shoes herself, but with one arm in a sling, it was indeed inconvenient, so she did not refuse Liu's mother's kindness.

After getting off the ground, Mu Qingcheng looked around and asked, "Aunt Liu, how much is this house worth now?"

"Why are you asking these questions, young lady?" Madam Liu was a cautious person and did not answer immediately. Mu Qingcheng smiled, "Madam Liu, there's no need to be nervous. I was just asking casually. You've been kind to me, and I'm not a stubborn, aloof person who would spoil your mood. I'll find other opportunities to repay you."

"The young lady is free-spirited and open-minded, truly extraordinary." Madam Liu praised sincerely, then conservatively gave a figure, "The things in this room probably cost a thousand taels."

At first, she didn't understand why Song Shuyu would take a fancy to a coroner from a humble background who did lowly work. But as she spent more time with her, she gradually became attracted to Mu Qingcheng. This girl had qualities rarely seen in noble ladies of the capital: low-key, calm, intelligent, and magnanimous.

After Mu Qingcheng finished her bowl of bird's nest soup, Liu's mother brought over three dishes and a soup. Although the portions were small, the ingredients were not ordinary; they were all precious medicinal dishes that nourished the body.

"Now that the case is finally solved and you have some free time, young lady, you must take good care of your health. Don't leave any aftereffects that will cause you suffering for the rest of your life."

Mother Liu's tenderness and love warmed Mu Qingcheng's heart. She lowered her eyes and murmured softly, "I lost my mother when I was young, and it has been a long time since anyone has cared for me like this."

Upon hearing this, Liu's mother's eyes welled up with tears. "The suffering you endured in the past will turn into blessings, protecting you and ensuring a peaceful and smooth life for the rest of your days. As long as you don't mind, I will take good care of you."

"Thank you, Aunt Liu." Mu Qingcheng's throat tightened, and after a pause, a knowing smile appeared on her lips. "I also want to thank the Master; he truly is the best Master in the world."

Madam Liu smiled happily, "Then please eat while it's hot, young lady. The master is still waiting for you at the front office to go out together!"
