Chapter 108: Reb.u.t.tal and two possibilities
While Xiao Tianyao was asking Liu Bai’s whereabouts. Su Cha and Doctor Wu went to the treatment room to make an inventory once again and check all over the place. They had check every corner of the room and didn’t even spare the walls, but… …
“Nothing was found.” Su Cha who is with Doctor Wu came back to report. Liu Bai was standing there in silence, but it seems the two of them didn’t even see him.
“There is no problem with the medicinal bath and the dregs. And all the used medicines are in their rightful amount.” Doctor Wu said and added: “As for the dragon soul, when we arrived, it already evaporated on the ground, we could no longer find any trace of it.”
With this result, Lin Chujiu was once again proven to be lying!
Xiao Tianyao formulated a lot of reasons inside his mind for Lin Chujiu. But, when he heard Doctor Wu’s words, he couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable. But, after a long of a silence, he still asks: “There might be a drug that was added in the dragon soul.”
“There was none.” Doctor Wu answered and then said, “I have checked all the things that were inside the treatment room. There were no additional grams in the dragon soul. I have also checked Divine Doctor Mo and Miss Mo Yuer’s clothes and jewelry, but there was no any suspicious thing to it. I also carefully checked the white jade hairpin, it was broken, but I didn’t find anything that can affect w.a.n.gye’s treatment.”
“Benw.a.n.g understand.” Xiao Tianyao simply said and then closed his eyes. Meaning: he doesn’t want to talk about this matter anymore.
Seeing that he no longer wants to say anything, Doctor Wu bowed his head and then walked out. But, before coming out from the door, Doctor Wu heard Xiao Tianyao said: “Tonight, you’re not allowed to go anywhere.” Meaning, he is not allowed to see Lin Chujiu.
“This insignificant one understands.” Doctor Wu felt bitter, but because he doesn’t want to stir up more trouble. He decided to listen to his words even though he feels sorry for Lin Chujiu.
Why is he feeling guilty anyway?
Is it because he has seen Lin Chujiu’s determination in doing things?
Doctor Wu shook his head and just walk away. But when he saw Housekeeper Cao waiting from the outside, he didn’t say anything. He only pointed out his finger to the direction of the prison and then shook his head. Doctor Wu walked fast and no longer wait to see Housekeeper Cao’s disappointed face.

Inside the room. Xiao Tianyao and Su Cha continue discussing today’s issue.
“Today’s thing, how do you see it?” Xiao Tianyao took the initiative to asked.
However, Su Cha didn’t answer. Instead, he asks with a bit hesitation: “w.a.n.gye, do you trust w.a.n.gfei?”
“She … … is Lin Xiang’s daughter.” Trust is a very heavy word. Lin Chujiu repeatedly made him feel amazed in her ability. Because of that, he can tolerate her more and more, but what was the result ah?
“w.a.n.gye, I understand what you mean.” Su Cha looks at him gently and sighed: “w.a.n.gye, you didn’t saw the confrontation between w.a.n.gfei and Lin Xiang. They are a father and daughter, but their words are full of gunpowder. It didn’t look like a planned conversation. So far, I don’t think w.a.n.gfei has done anything to seek forgiveness.” Even today, Su Cha believes that Lin Chujiu has nothing to feel sorry about Xiao Tianyao.
“Well, benw.a.n.g trust her.” That is also why he didn’t immediately take her life. He gave her opportunity to explain herself. And even now, because of her words, he let his people find any source of suspicion.
Su Cha felt relieved, so he continued: “w.a.n.gye, although w.a.n.gfei’s actions were very impulsive, you know that it’s definitely for your sake. You may not know it, but w.a.n.gfei… … ”
“What happened to her?” Xiao Tianyao asked eagerly and looked up. But, when he senses that Su Cha seems can see right through him, he coughed to cover up his embarra.s.sment: “She can’t ask for anything now. But, benw.a.n.g will still try to hear what happened to her today.”
Su Cha is very considerate, he didn’t ask anything regarding his reaction but only said: “w.a.n.gfei’s condition is very bad. Her injuries almost look like she had a fight. She’s bleeding all over her body and still unconscious. The guards didn’t dare to touch her, so she’s just lying there in prison with full of blood.”
Although Su Cha deliberately exaggerated his words, it’s very close to the truth. So, there’s not much any difference, right?
Xiao Tianyao used the barrel as his bathtub. So even though there was no water inside, he still needs two guards to lift it up. So, right now, he can see how much effort Lin Chujiu has put when she crashed herself.
“Her wounds … …” Xiao Tianyao said and then paused for a moment: “Let Doctor Wu check her condition tomorrow.” He just said to Doctor Wu not to go anywhere tonight, so if he suddenly sent him to prison, wouldn’t it show that he’s contradicting himself.
Su Cha has a sense of propriety, so he no longer mentions Lin Chujiu. And as for Liu Bai’s negligence, Su Cha didn’t mention it, he only stated his doubt regarding in today’s issue.
“w.a.n.gye, today, I feel really strange. I’m not very familiar with w.a.n.gfei, but when I saw her treating our guards, I saw that she is not the kind of person who acts without a plan. But today, w.a.n.gfei was in a hurry and there were many loopholes in her actions. As if she really didn’t intend to do that.” In other words, Lin Chujiu’s actions are not premeditated, it’s just something really suddenly happened.
“Mmm.” Xiao Tianyao agreed with Su Cha’s words. On the other hand, Liu Bai doesn’t agree, but he has no right to speak.
Su Cha continued: “w.a.n.gye, today, did w.a.n.gfei make any unusual movement?”
“Unusual?” Xiao Tianyao thinks for a moment. He was about to nod, but then he shook his head and said: “None.” Lin Chujiu’s unusual behavior earlier is an exception, because it was the cause of his teasing.
“There was none, but she got desperate. And judging from w.a.n.gfei’s words, we can boldly guess that w.a.n.gfei didn’t know the effectiveness of the dragon soul. So, she interrupted the treatment not because she wanted to harm w.a.n.gye, but because she really knows something went wrong.”
“You’re deducing that something went wrong, but you didn’t find any problem with the medicinal bath or before the treatment started. Benw.a.n.g was inside but didn’t sense any problem. Lin Chujiu herself was also inside, but she didn’t say anything before the treatment started. It was like, she suddenly turn crazy and started shouting.” Xiao Tianyao wanted to believe Lin Chujiu, but her actions are doubtful.
“Why is she so determined that there was something wrong in the medicinal bath? Because of intuition?” With that kind of answer, Xiao Tianyao couldn’t help but laugh with mockery.
At that time, if Lin Chujiu gave him a plausible explanation, he will stand by her side no matter what, but… …
Lin Chujiu didn’t explain anything, she only keeps saying that there was a problem.
So, how can he trust her empty words ah?
As a matter of fact, because of Lin Chujiu’s interference, his legs injuries did not only worsen but also endangered his life. So, him, not killing Lin Chujiu is already showing mercy.
“This, even I, couldn’t understand.” Su Cha reluctantly sighed.
He could no longer think of an excuse and also could no longer think of a sentence.
“But because w.a.n.gfei had mentioned this matter, again and again, I think we’ll just have to check it once more. Who knows if we can suddenly find something.” Su Cha still doesn’t want to give up, because his intuition is telling him not to.
“Su Cha, that’s enough!” Because of Su Cha’s favoring att.i.tude, Liu Bai could no longer keep his silence. And even though he knows Xiao Tianyao is still angry with him, he said: “Did Lin Chujiu gave you magical potion to end up like this? Because she said so, we’ll busily tire ourselves? And because she said so, you wouldn’t care that Tianyao ended up like this?”
Liu Bai angrily looked at Su Cha, but when Su Cha only looks at him with disapproval. He couldn’t help but say: “Su Cha don’t be deceived ah! Who knows if she just deliberately acted poorly, so that Tianyao wouldn’t hold a grudge. Her actions didn’t look predetermined? Well, that’s because she didn’t expect that Divine Doctor Mo will use the dragon soul. And as for she didn’t know the effect of the dragon soul? I think she’s the only one who knows the answer to that.”
Liu Bai continues saying what he wants regardless of what Xiao Tianyao and Su Cha is thinking: “You said Lin Chujiu is smart and doesn’t act without a plan. Yes, I can see that too. Because she did not only broke in Xiao w.a.n.gfu successfully but now you’re defending her too! So, isn’t she so brilliant?”
With Liu Bai’s series of questions, Xiao Tianyao and Su Cha couldn’t open their mouth… …
