Rather than saying that she didn't want Yu Qinglian to be involved, it would be more appropriate to say that she couldn't even bear the consequences.

Gu Qinghe knew the ending of Yu Qinglian's previous life, but what she could do for Yu Qinglian and what she did was just a little bit, just done out of convenience, far from the point where Yu Qinglian would put herself in danger for her.

Yu Qinglian's slender fingertips grasped the cold iron door. She obviously did not listen to Gu Qinghe's words. "That day in the Princess's Mansion, Doctor Gu helped me once, and there was also the matter of my aunt."

She smiled for a moment, that smile was slightly bitter, but also carried an unconcealable determination, "Over the years, only you and my aunt would listen to my requests and be willing to help me."

She knew that Gu Qinghe might not understand that feeling, but for her, that moment of kindness was enough for her to remember for the rest of her life.

Gu Qinghe would never know how she felt when she followed her to deliver a baby that day and took her to stand in front of the dog hole in the Duke's Mansion.

Guilt, uneasiness and embarrassment wrapped her up layer by layer. When she saw Gu Qinghe's heavy footsteps due to fatigue on the road, she thought more than once whether she should let her go back and rest first, but she didn't say anything in the end.

Her worry for her aunt made her suppress the guilt, but even if she suppressed it, it would only slowly swell in her heart.

"I was in the room when I helped deliver the baby. If you don't let me help you, I won't be able to live in peace."

Shao Xingjian stood behind her and listened to every word she said.

So, she would wait in her room tonight, and look willing without any complaints. Was it also to repay the favor?

He didn't understand why he felt so sad.

It was Mingxuan who came forward to help Yu Qinglian in the Princess's Mansion. If Mingxuan hadn't been there, Gu Qinghe at that time might not have been willing to take the risk of exposing himself in front of so many people.

She thought that Yu Qinglian might have thanked the wrong person.

But it would be a waste of time to say this now. With Shao Xingjian here, she should not be put in danger.

Gu Qinghe temporarily put those thoughts aside and looked at Shao Xingjian, "Have you seen the bodies of the mother and daughter?"

Her eyes flickered, and Gu Qinghe quickly beckoned him. When Shao Xingjian came closer, she whispered, "If my guess is correct, it's hard to say whether the woman who gave birth that day died, but the child is definitely not dead."

Shao Xingjian's eyes were sharp, "Why?"

Gu Qinghe told her that day in the delivery room, the woman who was giving birth told her that her husband was injured and that they would never have children in this life.

When that family went to the Beijing Medical Hall to make trouble yesterday, Gu Qinghe felt something was strange when she looked at that man.

He seemed to be very sad, but that sadness was only on the surface. His sadness was not even more real than the day when he cried and begged Gu Qinghe to help his wife give birth.

However, the people from his wife's family seemed even more angry and sad, and they were determined to seek an explanation for their sister and newborn child.

"The baby girl has a very obvious birthmark on the sole of her foot, but it's not difficult to fake it. Before you go to perform the autopsy, go to the pharmacy and buy some Wengen grass. Crush it and soak it in water. Then use some water to rub the birthmark twice. If the birthmark is fake, the color will fade."

Without further ado, if Gu Qinghe's guess is true and the dead baby girl is not the daughter of the troublemaker, then the family will certainly be very anxious to bury the body as soon as possible in the name of resting in peace.

It will be extremely difficult to find any evidence by then.

Shao Xingjian led Yu Qinglian away. After a while, Mingxuan came over cursing, followed by Ouyang Xia and Lan Yu who was confused.

Obviously, Gu Qinghe didn't suffer any harm here, but Mingxuan's eyes started to tear up as soon as she saw her.

"What the hell is going on here? These bastards, if they had known this would happen, why would they have saved this family that day? They didn't even receive the reward, and now they have to suffer this fate."

Ouyang Xia's expression was even more gloomy than Gu Qinghe had ever seen on her face. "None of these men are good people. A little bit of benefit can make them cruelly kill their wives and children. Even animals are more humane than them."

"It's no use talking about this now," Ming Xuan wiped away her tears, "things have already come to this, let's wait for General Shao to come back first."

"Don't," Gu Qinghe quickly refused, "Don't tell him."

She knew her limits. Even if Shao Wei came back, she still had to find evidence. She couldn't just let him break into the prison alone.

Thinking of that scene, Gu Qinghe actually had time to laugh.

After being glared at by Mingxuan, he quickly restrained himself and pointed at Lan Yu, "It's okay, don't we still have a trump card? If it really doesn't work, I will let Lan Yu take Yunguo to me directly."

She said it casually, but Ouyang Xia thought it was a good idea and stroked his chin, falling into deep thought.

Mingxuan was no longer sad because of these two people. She looked around and asked, "Do you know why this family did this?"

Gu Qinghe didn't answer, but asked her, "How did you get in?"

"Why are you still caring about this at this time?" Mingxuan completely lost her temper.

Ouyang Xia's gloomy expression disappeared. "A man who is very much my type brought us in. However, based on my experience in judging people, this man must already have someone in his heart, so it's not easy to win him over."

Gu Qinghe: “…”

She thought for a moment, "Zhang Luyuan?"

Mingxuan took a breath and said, "Yes, yes, now can you tell me what's going on and what I should do next?"

Gu Qinghe said, "All you have to do is wait."

This was not what Mingxuan wanted to hear. She wanted to get between the two iron bars and punch Gu Qinghe. "Do you think Li Qiulian did this? When I heard about your accident yesterday, the first person I thought of was her. When Shao Wei was in Beijing, she didn't dare to do anything. Now that Shao Wei is in Chizhou, she will definitely seize the opportunity to attack you."

There was nothing wrong with her guess, but this time it wasn't just Li Qiulian who wanted her dead.

Moreover, the reason why he wanted her to die was far from being because of Shao Wei.

She dropped the jade pendant on the ground on purpose, and when Li Qiulian picked it up, the scene today was destined to happen.

Gu Qinghe was not surprised.

Before yesterday, Gu Qinghe had never had much affection for the Prime Minister and his wife. It would not be an exaggeration to describe them as strangers.

But now, she was actually somewhat glad that she was picked up by her parents when she was born, otherwise, she might be the one as cruel and ruthless as Li Qiulian now.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with what she did. From the beginning to the end, she was just throwing out a bait.

Li Qiulian was too anxious, and the Prime Minister's wife loved her daughter so much that she couldn't wait to stand up for her daughter, which led to today's scene.
