A female coroner arrived at the Jingzhao Prefecture.

Chapter 43 Questioning
Song Shuyu felt a little melancholy. This girl was so perceptive, so why couldn't she see that he was protecting her? When she rejected him twice to spite him, why didn't she think about his feelings?

She was always careful to maintain good relationships with her colleagues, afraid that she would lose her footing in the government office. She wanted to get ahead based on her talent, but she was also afraid that she would lose her way if she became too popular. At only nineteen years old, she was already very shrewd and knew how to weigh the pros and cons of everything.

But he just couldn't understand it. Wasn't it Song Shuyu who held the reins of her future? Why was she keeping him at arm's length?
"grown ups?"

The woman's questioning voice brought Song Shuyu back to her senses. Her clear, bright eyes looked directly at him without any hesitation as she pleaded, "My lord, when I go to the Liu family to inquire, may I ask Constable Liu to accompany me? I am frail and have heard that the eldest son of the Liu family is a madman. If Constable Liu can help me, we will surely achieve twice the result with half the effort!"

The word "delicate" inexplicably amused everyone. In terms of courage, no one could compare to the coroner, and in terms of physical fitness, Mu Qingcheng was not a match for the phrase "slender willow in the breeze" used to describe a woman's figure.

However, her reasons for protecting An Yu were not wrong. The Liu family did indeed pose a potential danger, and her willingness to plead for Liu the constable in front of the adults showed that she was shrewd and capable.

Song Li brought in fresh tea, replaced one cup for Song Shuyu, and placed the remaining cup, which was originally intended for Constable Liu, in front of Mu Qingcheng since Liu had been kicked out.

"Guard Song, I... I'm not angry, I don't need to calm down." Mu Qingcheng thought she had suffered the same fate as Constable Liu, so she quickly made her stance clear.

Seeing this, Song Shuyu smiled enigmatically, “After saying so much, isn’t Coroner Mu’s mouth dry? It would be good to moisten it.”

"This humble servant thanks you for your consideration, sir." Mu Qingcheng responded with an awkward laugh, picked up the teacup and took a sip, but almost burned his tongue off.

But she endured it stubbornly, without uttering a sound.

Song Shuyu touched the teacup with his finger, then his eyes darkened. "Get out!" Who would have thought that after discussing the case, the magistrate would kick two people out!

When Liu Heng, who was outside, saw Mu Qingcheng walk out with a look of astonishment on her face, his depressed heart instantly brightened!

Indeed, hardship is a great medicine for quickly bringing people closer together!
Just as Liu Heng was about to make a few sarcastic remarks to Mu Qingcheng, he suddenly saw the yamen runner Li Daguo running over, "Coroner Mu, someone outside the South Prison Gate wants to see you."

"Who wants to see me?" Mu Qingcheng asked in surprise.

Li Daguo laughed, his expression becoming more playful. "He's a handsome young man who specifically asked to see Coroner Mu. Our boss was worried about harming Coroner Mu, so he questioned him a bit. The man said he was a performer from Shuanghua Pavilion, and that Coroner Mu had taken care of his business last night, so he came here today to thank Coroner Mu."

Upon hearing this, an uproar erupted both inside and outside the council chamber!
Shuanghua Pavilion was a renowned brothel in the capital, employing both female and male prostitutes, all of whom were exceptionally beautiful. Naturally, it was also a den of iniquity.

However, their only female coroner in the capital prefecture actually frequented brothels and slept with actresses.
However, before Mu Qingcheng could react, a purple figure rushed in front of her like a whirlwind, grabbed her by the shoulder, and angrily questioned, "Mu Qingcheng, when did you go to Shuanghua Pavilion? How dare you seek out courtesans?"

In all honesty, the person who patronized the actors' business was the wealthy Bai Zhizhi, not Mu Qingcheng!

The adult is going crazy, hahaha... Kids, if you like the adult, remember to give him/her all kinds of support!
