I insist

Chapter 478: Imprisonment

Faced with so much condemnation from the people, Song Miqiu was not nervous at all, but slowly began to speak.

"As I just said, the medicine I prescribed won't be fatal, and neither will your father's illness. I also left a copy of the prescription."

An examination of the body will reveal the truth. Didn't you say you were going to report it to the authorities? In that case, go ahead and report it.

When the old man's son heard Song Miqiu's words, he chuckled. On the contrary, he was quite confident, since he had already thrown away the dregs of the medicine, so there was no way to detect them.

Besides, he also had benefactors to help him, which made him even more confident.

"Fine, you said it yourself, then let's report it to the authorities. I see you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin." The old man's son sneered.

Soon, a kind person helped report it to the authorities, and the constables arrived very quickly.

Upon seeing Song Miqiu, he greeted her very politely, "Imperial Physician Song."

This constable had dealt with Song Miqiu before and felt that she must have powerful connections.

Song Miqiu nodded slightly: "That's why I'm troubling you again."

"No, we heard about this incident on the way here, but this is not the place to handle matters. We need to have the adults interrogate us."

The constable looked cautiously at Song Miqiu and quickly explained the situation to her, fearing that she would cause him trouble.

Song Miqiu had no idea about this. She said softly, "Just do what needs to be done, but please wait a moment. I have something to tell you."

"Of course, but please don't take too long," the constable said.

Song Miqiu thanked the constable and then returned to the clinic, but this scene greatly displeased the old man's son.

"Officers, what do you mean by this? She's a murderer! You're just letting her in like this? Aren't you going to do anything about it? Aren't you afraid she'll escape?"

The old man's son shouted loudly at the constable.

The constable frowned slightly and said in an icy tone, "The facts of this matter have not yet been investigated. Don't talk nonsense."

Furthermore, if someone dares to report it to the authorities, they won't run away.

Song Miqiu naturally heard the constables' conversation outside. A slight smile played on her lips as she looked at the young apprentice and said, "Go to my house and find Yu Huailin."

Tell him about this incident, and by the way, tell him I suspect someone is behind it.

The apprentice was already quite flustered, but seeing Song Miqiu's composed demeanor, he nodded repeatedly: "Boss, don't worry, I'll handle this well."

Song Miqiu nodded to him, then walked out of the pharmacy and followed a group of people to Yintian Mansion.

The prefect frowned slightly upon seeing his subordinates and asked, "What's going on?"

The old man's son, Zhiji, handed the petition to the prefect, then loudly accused, "Your Honor, please do justice for this humble subject! It was she who killed my father!"

She still won't admit it! My father is in this state because he drank her medicine. I beg you, sir, to investigate thoroughly!

The prefect glanced at the petition, then at Song Miqiu below, and immediately felt a headache coming on. He frowned slightly and asked, "What do you have to say?"

Song Miqiu recounted the events of the previous day to the prefect, word for word.

"I understand. I will send people to investigate this matter. You will be detained temporarily. Guards, take them away," the prefect said.

The old man's son never expected to be imprisoned as well. He struggled to break free, saying, "Sir, I am the one who filed the complaint against her. Why am I being imprisoned?"

"What you said hasn't been verified. Who knows if it's true or false? If it's a false accusation, you'll naturally be detained."

"Guards, take him away and keep him under close surveillance," the prefect said, frowning.

The old man's son had no choice but to be taken to jail.

Yu Huailin quickly received the news from the medicine boy and immediately sent someone to investigate the old man's matter, while he himself went to Yintian Prefecture.

He bribed the jailer to get in and see Song Miqiu.

I had expected to see her heartbroken, but instead she was so relaxed and content, not at all like someone who was locked up.

Song Miqiu looked up at him and smiled slightly: "You've come."

Judging from his expression, it seemed like he had known he was coming for a long time.

Yu Huailin asked somewhat helplessly, "Judging from your appearance, you seem quite comfortable here. It doesn't feel like you're here to be locked up at all; it feels more like you're at home."

"I had no choice, after all, I'm used to being in prison, I've become quite adept at it," Song Miqiu said with a smile.

Yu Huailin had no time for joking with Song Miqiu. He frowned and asked, "What do you mean by having the medicine boy tell me? Don't tell me you already have someone you suspect?"

Song Miqiu looked up at Yu Huailin with a half-smile in her eyes, making Yu Huailin feel uncomfortable all over.

Yu Huailin coughed awkwardly, "Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong?"

“I suspect this matter is related to Leng Qiulian,” Song Miqiu said seriously.

Then she said again in a teasing tone, "You really are surrounded by toxic suitors. They always manage to hurt me. I'm really quite annoyed."

"What do you mean by 'poisonous peach blossoms' around me? When did I get any peach blossoms?" Yu Huailin asked anxiously.

Song Miqiu smiled and said, "Yu Huailin, don't tell me you can't see Leng Qiulian's feelings for you. You're very clever."

"Last time at the pharmacy, she must have come looking for you. And now it's the same thing again. Isn't it a poisonous peach blossom?"

"You're the one talking! I see you have plenty of suitors too. If I hadn't acted early, you might have been snatched up by someone else long ago, and I would have had nowhere to cry then."

Yu Huailin glared angrily at Song Miqiu and said, word by word.

After they finished speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled at each other before starting to talk about business.

"I have already sent people to investigate this matter. If it really was Leng Qiulian who did it, I will make her pay the price, even if she is the Prime Minister's granddaughter."

Yu Huailin narrowed his eyes, exuding a cold aura.

Song Miqiu frowned slightly and said, "I didn't mean any harm. If Leng Qiulian really did this, or ordered someone to do it, and you punish her,

"You can't explain this to the Prime Minister. You went to great lengths to get him on your side; don't let this small matter cause you to lose more than you gain."

"Even without the Prime Minister, I will succeed in what I'm about to do. Not everyone can bully you like this. Leave this matter to me."

As for the rest, that's none of your business. Just wait and see.

After Yu Huailin finished speaking, he left without looking back.

Song Miqiu watched his retreating figure. Although she had imagined he would say that, she still felt a sweet warmth in her heart when she actually heard him say it.
