Chapter 443: Do Your Best

Ling Hai thought that death was waiting for him.

He regretted it. If he had known earlier, he would not have stolen money.

If he hadn’t stolen anything, he wouldn’t have provoked Duke Lang, let alone implicate his sister.

Ling Hai hugged his sister in despair and refused to let go. Even if he died, he would die with his sister. She was the last of his family. They depended on each other and no one could separate them.

Yu Niaoniao looked at him helplessly. “If you don’t let go, how are we going to treat your sister?”

Ling Hai thought he had misheard.

He looked up at Yu Niaoniao in disbelief.

“Treatment?”

Yu Niaoniao pointed at Lo Pingsha, who was standing beside her, and introduced.

“Here, this is Physician Lo. His medical skills are very good. If you still want your sister to live healthily, quickly let him take a look at her.”

This plot development far exceeded Ling Hail s expectations.

His brain couldn’t react. “Aren’t you going to arrest and kill us?” he muttered.

Yu Niaoniao was speechless. What did this child take them for? Murderous demons?

“Although you stole my purse, this crime isn’t enough to sentence you to death. We’re not unreasonable people. Duke Lang has already sent someone to investigate your family. If it’s true, we’ll give you an explanation.”

Ling Hai could not understand. “But Duke Lang is Princess Ni Yang’s son. Shouldn’t you be in cahoots with her?”

“It’s a long story. In short, you just have to understand one thing. Duke Lang is Duke Lang and Princess Ni Yang is her own person. They’re not in cahoots!” When she said the last sentence, Yu Niaoniao deliberately strengthened her tone to show her attitude.

Ling Hai was skeptical. “Why should I believe you?”

Yu Niaoniao spread her hands. “You can choose not to believe us. In that case, you can only hug your sister and wait for death.”

Ling Hai looked down at his sister, who was in his arms. She was so feverish that she could not even open her eyes, but she was still calling out softly.

“Brother…”

Ling Hai was extremely anxious.

He looked up at Lo Pingsha and asked urgently, “Are you really a physician? Can you really cure my sister?”

Lo Pingsha didn’t finish. “I have to see your sister’s condition before I come to a conclusion.”

This concerned his sister’s life and death, so Ling Hai could only take the risk.

He let go of his sister. “Physician, please cure my sister.”

Lo Pingsha bent down and first pried open Ling Miao’s eyelids to take a look.

He touched her forehead and cheek and finally checked her tongue and pulse.

“The cold air has entered her body and has already injured her heart and lungs. This child is still young and can’t take many types of medicine. It’s very troublesome.”

Yu Niaoniao asked, “Can she be treated?”

Lo Pingsha looked grim. “I’ll do my best. First, carry her into the room, put her to bed, and change her into clean clothes.”

This time, without needing Yu Niaoniao to speak, Ling Hai had already picked up his sister and walked into the room.

He carefully placed his sister on the bed.

There were no clean little girl’s clothes in the courier station for the time being. Yu Niaoniao could only let Chun Feng send over a set of her clothes. She would change Ling Miao first before getting someone to buy two sets of clean children’s clothes from the streets.

Chun Feng and Ye Yu stayed in the room to change Ling Miao’s clothes. The others left.

After Ling Miao was changed, Lo Pingsha continued to treat her.

At the same time, Xiao Juan ordered someone to go to the county office and pull out the Ling family’s dossier.

The dossier was sent to Xiao Juan, who read it seriously.

The dossier said that the eldest grandson of the Ling family had committed adultery. The Ling family protected the murderer and was equivalent to an accomplice.

But there was no physical evidence mentioned in the dossier. There were only two statements.

And it had only taken two days for this case to close.

The speed at which the case was solved could put the Justice Department to shame.

Xiao Juan put down the dossier with a solemn expression.

There was something strange about this case. Clearly, the truth was not as simple as it was described in the dossier.

Perhaps Ling Hai was not lying. The cause of this matter was Princess Ni Yang.

That woman had always been arrogant and domineering. As long as she wanted something, there was nothing she could not get.

Yu Niaoniao returned to the bedroom and saw the dossier on the table. She could not help but ask.

“Is this the Ling family’s dossier?”

Xiao Juan nodded. “Yes.”

“Can I see it?”

“Go ahead.”

Yu Niaoniao immediately picked up the dossier and read it quickly.

She frowned. “There’s obviously not enough evidence in this case. Why did the county magistrate close the case?”

Xiao Juan said, “The county magistrate closed the case in a hurry. It’s very likely that someone above was pressuring him. He had no choice.”

“Could it be Princess Ni Yang?”

Xiao Juan did not say anything, which was a tacit agreement.

Yu Niaoniao wanted to scold her, but she endured it. After all, he was Duke Lang’s biological mother. Even if their relationship was not good, she could not scold his mother in front of him.

Xiao Juan asked, “How’s Ling Miao?”

“Little Lo prescribed medicine for her. She’s already asleep. Little Lo said that he had to observe more. If she could cool down tomorrow, she should be fine.’

“Little Hai was worried and stayed by her sister’s bed.”

After saying that, Yu Niaoniao picked up the dossier and read it.

At the end of the dossier, it mentioned that the entire Ling family had been demoted to hard labor, but it did not mention where they were working.

Yu Niaoniao asked, “What about the Ling family?”

She really wanted to seek justice for the Ling family, but this matter involved Princess Ni Yang. She could not interfere even if she wanted to.

Xiao Juan said, “I’ll get someone to follow up on the investigation and see if we can find any clues, but this will take some time.”

Yu Niaoniao nodded. “I understand. You can’t rush such things.”

Xiao Juan said, “And don’t forget the purpose of our trip. We’re here to investigate the whereabouts of the stolen silver. This is the most important thing.”

Yu Niaoniao suddenly had a thought. “Could that stolen silver have been hidden by Princess Ni Yang?”

Xiao Juan asked, “Do you have evidence?”

Yu Niaoniao cringed. “No.”

“The amount of stolen silver is huge. The emperor values it very much. Don’t talk nonsense without evidence.”

Yu Niaoniao replied obediently, “I know.”

Xiao Juan changed the topic. “But what you said is not impossible. Liangzhou is Princess Ni Yang’s territory. If the stolen silver is really hidden here, it’s impossible for Princess Ni Yang not to know.”

Yu Niaoniao nodded vigorously. “That’s what I think. We’re thinking the same thing! ”

Xiao Juan said, “It’s still the same thing. You can’t rely on guesses. You have to have evidence.”

Yu Niaoniao stroked her chin in thought.

“That’s a lot of money. It’s tens of millions of taels. Just piling it up would make up a small mountain. Where can you hide so much silver without being discovered?”

Regarding this, the two of them thought for a long time but could not figure it out. In the end, they could only wash up and sleep..
