Granny Sun revealed a vulnerability and became flustered. “I found it! It’s not worth much!”
“Found a coffin? Grandma, in this day and age, people may find money lying around, but who finds such a large coffin? Did you perhaps find it at a coffin shop? Which coffin shop would be willing to discard such a fine coffin?” Manager Qi chimed in.
They didn’t deliberately lower their voices. As a result, the young men who were helping Granny Sun also expressed confusion. “This coffin appears valuable no matter how you look at it. Granny, where did you find it?”
They were curious and wanted to see if there was anything else to be found.
“Go, go, go! Why are you picking up coffins? Has your son passed away? Do you need a coffin? My son was poisoned by this group of people! If you want to find something, go ask them for the coffin, especially this young lady here. She’s the legitimate daughter of the Marquis’s Manor and oversees it. She’s loaded with money! Go find her!”
Granny Sun couldn’t restrain herself and said many things she shouldn’t have.
Su Yingxue chuckled. “Granny Sun, from the moment we met, I never disclosed my identity. You didn’t even ask my name, yet you somehow know that I’m the legitimate daughter of the Marquis’s Manor and that I oversee the Marquis’s Manor? The person who instructed you must be from the Marquis’s Manor, right?”
“I…” Granny Sun’s eyes darted around nervously. She recalled what someone had taught her and shouted, “Everyone knows about the clinic opened by the Marquis’s Manor’s legitimate daughter in Jiang Du City. Previously, there was a deadly plague that killed many people, and now… now it’s taken my son’s life! Bullies! We, the common folks, can’t contend with this group of high-ranking officials. We’re suffering!”
Everyone present, much like Granny Sun’s family, hailed from humble backgrounds. Some of the men had tattered clothing.
Granny Sun’s words resonated deeply with them and coupled with their resentment of the wealthy, they pointed their hoes toward Su Yingxue. “You people of privilege who live comfortably have no qualms about causing deaths. What more do you want now? If we don’t report you to the Heavenly Lord, you’d better leave and stop mistreating Granny!”
Su Yingxue’s brows were tightly knitted. When this group of people became rude, they could not make a move. Otherwise, it would only make the other party hate them even more.
However, since the other party was a young man, he was also reasonable. She might as well lay the matter out.
She walked in front of the hoes wielded by these strong men, held her head high, and proclaimed, “I am indeed Su Yingxue, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Martial South’s Manor, and I am a doctor at Tongchang Medical Center. Granny Sun’s son passed away after taking medication from my clinic, and I deeply apologize for this. But I, Su Yingxue, swear on my life that my clinic will never treat human lives callously or intentionally harm any patient. That’s why I’m here personally to open the coffin and examine the body to provide justice for the deceased Sun Wangcai. If he indeed died due to medication from my clinic, then 1, Su Yingxue, will personally atone for it with my life! Tongchang Medical Center will take care of Granny Sun and her descendants for the rest of their lives!”
Su Yingxue’s words left everyone astounded. The legitimate daughter of the Marquis’s Manor being willing to pay with her life for an ordinary farmer was already bewildering. Furthermore, taking care of Granny Sun and her descendants for their entire lives was an exceptionally responsible offer. “Are you truly here for an autopsy?” The young man who had stopped Su Yingxue earlier put down his hoe and asked.
“What else can I do? The deceased deserves respect, but it’s only by ascertaining the cause of his death and why he died that we can provide justice.”
Su Yingxue’s words were forceful and determined.
Although these farmers weren’t educated, they understood the logic. Two burly men approached Granny Sun and advised her, “Granny, don’t stand in her way. Miss Su is a good person. We’ll let her perform the autopsy.. If your son was truly harmed by her clinic, we won’t leave you to suffer alone!”
