A female coroner arrived at the Jingzhao Prefecture.

Chapter 344 Ending (13)

"Should?" Liang Ruoming's lips twitched. "If you're not confident, then isn't the risk on my part quite high?"

Mu Qingcheng glanced at the middle-aged man opposite her and rolled her eyes speechlessly. "Does Lord Liang have any other way out?"

Liang Ruoming froze.

Seeing his timid and hesitant appearance, Mu Qingcheng was disappointed, but she had no better solution at the moment, so she added to reassure him, "I dare not say anything absolute, but I am 80% confident that I can persuade Song Shuyu. As long as Song Shuyu is willing to protect you, the Song family will naturally not be your enemy."

Upon hearing this, Liang Ruoming visibly breathed a sigh of relief, but he immediately asked, "Master Mu, at the farewell banquet, Lord Song gave Prince Zhongshan and Prince Shen a thorough dressing down, and he would never allow Prince Shen to marry you. You... you want to marry Prince Shen now, does Lord Song agree? If you don't go along with his wishes, will he listen to your advice?"

Mu Qingcheng did not answer directly, but said only, "This is between him and me, Lord Liang, you don't need to worry about it."

"How could I not be worried? This concerns the lives of my entire family!" Liang Ruoming was so anxious that sweat beaded on his forehead. He leaned forward involuntarily, staring intently into Mu Qingcheng's exposed bright eyes, and asked her boldly yet cautiously, "The Prince of Zhongshan is the Empress Dowager's man. If you marry into the Prince of Zhongshan's mansion, aren't you going against Lord Song? Let alone saving me, it's uncertain whether you can even protect yourself."

Overwhelmed with unprecedented frustration, Mu Qingcheng abruptly stood up and said angrily, "Lord Liang, since you don't believe me, then we have nothing more to discuss. Farewell!"

"Hey, no!"

Liang Ruoming hurriedly stopped the man, forcing a smile and saying, "It's not that I don't trust Master Mu, but this matter is of utmost importance and cannot tolerate the slightest mistake!" Mu Qingcheng was too lazy to say anything more and turned to leave.

"I believe you, I believe you, okay?" Liang Ruoming said urgently.

Indeed, he has no other way out now. Apart from getting involved with Mu Qingcheng, he doesn't know how else to resolve his grudge with Song Shuyu!
Mu Qingcheng turned around and looked at Liang Ruoming's helpless and flustered expression. She couldn't help but laugh in exasperation. "Lord Liang, as long as you haven't committed any crimes or broken the law, and have only made the mistake of choosing the wrong side, I guarantee that your efforts to make amends will help you protect yourself. As for my actions, I have my reasons. Song Shuyu will not be my enemy, so please rest assured."

Liang Ruoming let out a deep breath, his whole body relaxing. "I'm timid, and I know it wasn't easy to climb to the position of Vice Minister, so I wouldn't dare commit any serious crimes. By the way, there's something I don't understand. Why did you come to me? Where is Guo Xuan? The deceased is his daughter; wouldn't it be more..."

"It's a shame that Lord Liang is a Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice. I really doubt your ability to handle cases!" Mu Qingcheng, who was usually mild-mannered, could utter such harsh words, which was truly unbearable.

Liang Ruoming's face immediately turned ashen, as if he had swallowed a fly.

"Enough of the small talk. Now that we have reached a cooperation agreement, please tell me again what you saw and heard today, Lord Liang. You must tell the truth, not a single word can be omitted!"

"Ah...oh, okay."

The woman's aura deeply impressed Liang Ruoming. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he exclaimed excitedly, "It's not Song Shuyu! The murderer who smothered Guo Yuanke to death doesn't have Song Shuyu's domineering and fierce temperament!"
