"Jiao Niang? That's a very nice name. Please raise your head." Shen Ning said again.
Jiao Niang hesitated for a moment and slowly raised her head.
Shen Ning saw that she had an oval face, a fair complexion, curved eyebrows and a small mouth, and an attractive appearance. Although she was covered in texture, it only added to her charming appearance.
Jiao Niang was stunned for a moment when she saw that the person asking her question was none other than the girl.
Could she be the royal censor
There was a look of disbelief on her face.
Not only she couldn't believe it, but the people who followed her couldn't believe it either.
They were all relatives of the deceased, and they couldn't help but make low buzzing sounds.
"Don't make any noise in front of the Royal Censor!" Xiao Si straightened his face and stared at everyone seriously.
Although he has never been an official and has tried cases, he has seen the governor of the capital interrogate cases.
As soon as the prisoner enters the lobby, he will be so powerful that he cannot even speak.
This situation made him envious, and now he could have a chance to use his prestige.
The common people were immediately frightened into silence by his scolding and did not dare to breathe.
Although they felt that the little girl did not look like a royal censor, the hundreds of officials wearing helmets and armor and holding weapons around her were definitely not fake.
"Jiao Niang, you don't have to be afraid. You can answer whatever I ask you, but you are not allowed to lie. Do you understand?"
To everyone's surprise, Shen Ning opened her mouth in a friendly manner, as if she was just chatting away.
"I know, I know, little lady, I understand." Jiao Niang bit her lip and nodded.
She looked at Shen Ning with some shrinking eyes, and she was also filled with surprise and uncertainty.
"Who is the deceased of yours?" Shen Ning asked.
"Yes, he is the little girl's husband." Jiao Niang replied, then lowered her head and started sobbing again.
"Oh, how did he die?"
"It's... I'm seriously ill." Tears rolled down her face, and she cried a little louder.
Xiaosi and the Imperial Guards looked at her and felt a little sorry for her.
Her husband died at such a young age. This woman was so pitiful. No wonder she cried so loudly that they could hear her from a distance.
But why did the Queen say she was the murderer without even meeting her
Her husband obviously died of a sudden illness, wasn't he killed by someone else
Sure enough, the Queen must have made a mistake.
Xiao Si thought to herself that it was a good thing that he didn't take this woman as a murderer as soon as he came up. Otherwise, the Queen would be so embarrassed that she would have no place to show her face.
"It turns out that he is suffering from an emergency. I wonder what kind of emergency he has?" Shen Ning asked again.
"Yes...it's the wind and cold." Jiao Niang replied.
"It's windy and cold." Shen Ning leaned back, seeming to be thinking about something.
"How many days did your husband die after he caught the cold?" she asked after thinking about it.
"Three, three days later." Jiao Niang hesitated and replied.
"Three days later." Shen Ning nodded, "It is indeed an emergency. I wonder if you can ask a doctor to take a look at it?"
Jiao Niang's lips were almost bitten.
She didn't expect Shen Ning's questions to come one after another.
"No, no." She replied.
"Why did you catch the cold and didn't ask for a doctor?"
"Because... our family is too poor and can't afford a doctor." Jiao Niang's voice was low and hoarse, "Moreover, the little girl didn't expect that her husband was suffering from cold. She thought he just had a little cold, so she I just picked some medicine and took it, but unexpectedly, he passed away after three days. "
At this point, she sobbed again.
