A Military Doctor Became a Stepmom in Ancient Times

Chapter 404 - 404 Murder?

404 Murder?

Ning Yue was not in a hurry to dissect the child. Instead, she observed the child’s neck and realized that there were no marks on it at all. It did not look like he had suffocated to death at all. However, from the details of his face, it looked very similar.

The young child’s eyes widened as if he was indignant.

He had only been in this world for a short time. He had passed away before he had seen enough.

Ning Yue’s heart ached a little, but she knew very well that what she had to do now was to help this child find the murderer who had harmed him.

!!

Ning Yue took a deep breath and continued to check. She realized that there were a few bruises on the child’s arm. They looked like they were caused after death. There were also some cotton threads on the child’s nails and nose.

She carefully used tweezers to pick out the cotton silk and took the handkerchief of the maidservant beside her. She carefully placed the cotton silk away. Then, she took out a glass rod and gently stirred it in the child’s mouth.

After the glass rod was taken out, Ning Yue realized that there was something that looked like milk on the rod.

After doing all the work, Ning Yue roughly understood what was going on.

She took off her mask and gloves and disinfected her hands with disinfectant from the first aid kit. The smell of alcohol instantly spread throughout the room.

“I’m basically certain of the situation. Your son wasn’t strangled to death, but suffocated. However, this should be an accident, not a murder,” Ning Yue said.

Just as Lian Xin was about to ask, Ning Yue said, “The person feeding your son must have fallen asleep while feeding him and accidentally suffocated him. The child was too young and couldn’t attract the adults’ attention by struggling, so he grabbed the clothes that fed him. That’s why his nails and nose had these cotton threads. Consort, if you were more serious and careful, the child wouldn’t die! How are you a mother?” Ning Yue looked at Pei Wu angrily.

The woman in front of her did not do anything, but such a young child died because of his mother’s irresponsibility.

This mother had actually used the death of her child to make an issue and shift the blame to others. How could such a woman be worthy of being a mother?

The more Ning Yue thought about it, the angrier she became. The more she thought about it, the more pitiful this child was.

When Lian Xin saw the change in Ning Yue’s emotions, she was inexplicably happy. Could it be that Ning Yue’s emotions were fluctuating because of him?

It had to be said that this was a beautiful misunderstanding.

When Pei Wu heard Ning Yue’s words, she shouted, “Nonsense! Why would I kill my son? I didn’t. You’re talking nonsense!”

Facing Pei Wu, Ning Yue had no sympathy at all. “You didn’t kill the children, but he died because of your negligence.”

When Ning Yue said this, Pei Wu trembled violently.

“You have to be very meticulous in taking care of children. It’s good that you want to take care of the children yourself, but you’re inexperienced, so it led to the child’s death,” Ning Yue said.

“No, no. You’re talking nonsense. You’re talking nonsense!” Pei Wu screamed and was about to rush towards Ning Yue.

Baili had already shielded Ning Yue behind him. Lian Xin was even faster and kicked Pei Wu away.

Ning Yue watched all of this in shock. Wasn’t this Lian Xin’s concubine? Did Lian Xin not pity her at all? She kicked her just like that!

“Princess Mingyue, I’m really sorry for embarrassing you. With me here, I won’t let anyone hurt you,” Lian Xin said.

“There’s no need to trouble Your Highness. We’ll protect Her Highness,” Baili said.

Lian Xin looked at Ning Yue and realized that she wanted to avoid him. He felt disappointed. He tried his best to suppress his disappointment and said, “Princess Mingyue, I’ve really troubled you today.”

Ning Yue glanced at Lian Xin. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.”

Ning Yue turned to leave. Lian Xin wanted to call out to her, but when she thought about it, he didn’t seem to have any reason to keep Ning Yue.

At this moment, the woman lying on the ground suddenly grabbed Ning Yue’s foot. “Please save me. Please.”

Lian Xin’s heart tightened. He stepped forward and wanted to kick this woman’s hand away. With a look from Ning Yue, Baili stepped forward and stopped him.
