However, upon hearing this, Su Yingxue didnât feel relieved. Instead, her mood grew heavier.
âIf my medical skills arenât sufficient, how could I allow you to pay the price for me?â
Pretending to be oblivious, Su Yingxue continued practicing with her motherâs surgical tools and continued to practice with the rabbit. The rabbit in her hand did not die. It survived, but she still did not dare conduct surgery on Su Dingheng.
A day spent practicing followed by a day of hesitation.
The next day, Liang Jin arrived with a grim-faced group and took her to the Capital Prefecture court.
In the courtroom, Doctor Huang from the True Medicine Center and several court physicians all testified that the item poisoning Su Dingheng was a batch of furniture from his room.
However, Liu Shulan arrived with servants, attesting that the furniture was personally purchased by Su Yingxue as a gift for Su Dingheng.
She even detailed some arguments she had with Su Dingheng in the house.
With this evidence, Liang Jin had to conclude it was an attempted murder case.
Before the public, Liang Jin sentenced Su Yingxue to the Capital Prefecture prison.
As Su Yingxue was being taken away, Liu Shulan concealed a triumphant smile at the corner of her mouth.
Su Yingxueâs mother couldnât defeat her, and neither could Su Yingxue!
In Capital Prefecture prison, Su Yingxue sat upright in the cell. She was still holding the surgical tools tightly in her hand until she heard Liang Jinâs approaching footsteps.
She put away the surgical tools.
Liang Jin came in and asked her, âMiss Su, are you dissatisfied with my judgment?â
Su Yingxue shook her head. âLord Liang is meticulous, and the judgment is based on evidence, with no deviations.â
He continued, âHowever, I feel that Miss Su doesnât seem like someone who would harm her biological father.â
Liang Jinâs expression was grave.
Su Yingxue was taken aback. âLord Liang is known for impartial judgments. Why have personal feelings?â
âBecause certain cases appear too smooth, the evidence too perfect. Thatâs where they might have flaws.â Liang Jin had strategic foresight.
Su Yingxue smiled slightly. Liang Jin indeed had his methods for solving cases. Some of the seemingly perfect arrangements were strange. If they continued to investigate, they might be full of loopholes.
Liang Jin was also waiting for this loophole.
âBefore Marquis Su has fully recovered, I have the right to not sentence you severely. However, Doctor Huang and several court physicians have said that the poison in Marquis Su is rare and very troublesome. If I let you treat him as a doctor, are you confident that you can cure him?â Liang Jin asked.
Su Yingxue shook her head.â No.â
She lowered her eyes and her expression was dark. Liang Jin had never seen her so unconfident when it came to medical skills.
Compared to the genius doctor who was in high spirits in the past.
Today, Su Yingxue seemed to have changed into a different person.
Liang Jin didnât ask further.
Su Yingxue only had a few peaceful days in prison.
Chu Yihan came to the cell and saw her sitting cross-legged on the stone bed. His expression was cold. He walked up to her and asked in a low voice, âHow many days do you plan to stay here?â
Su Yingxue slowly opened her eyes, pondering. âNo time like the present. Letâs leave today.â
âI will escort you.â
Chu Yihan extended his hand to her. The moment Su Yingxue placed her hand in his palm, a sense of reassurance enveloped her.
Exiting the cell, Chu Yihan seemed attuned to her, guiding her back to the Marquisâs Manor.
Before Su Yingxue got out of the rickshaw, Chu Yihan inquired, âArenât you afraid you wonât be able to cure your father?â
Su Yingxueâs smile carried a trace of bitterness. âEven if I claim not to be afraid, I canât deceive Your Highness.â
Chu Yihan enclosed her small hand in his palm. The warmth emanating from his grasp made Su Yingxueâs eyes inadvertently soften..
