Chapter 281 Suspicious Person
"Why is this backyard so desolate?" After finishing their meal, the group went for a walk in the backyard, only to find it in ruins. Clearly, the area had been scorched by fire before.
“Actually, I heard from the servants next door that a tragedy had occurred in this courtyard,” Li’er explained.
Fang Duobing: "Is this the fire my mother was talking about?"
Wu You: "These days, would anyone buy a haunted house?"
Fang Duobing: My mother will buy it.
"The original owner was named Yan Qingtian. It seems that his wife had an affair with the steward and killed him in the middle of the night. She then set fire to half of the house and ran away with all the family's treasures."
Li'er described it vividly: "But the madam isn't afraid at all, while we servants are terribly scared."
“It’s such a small matter, my mother is naturally not afraid.”
"Young Master, you, Young Master Li, and Miss Wu can look around the rest of the courtyard yourselves. I'll head over now." Li'er said, turning to leave.
"Miss Li'er." Wu You called out to Li'er, who was about to leave.
"Master He, your hospitality is so kind. Your food is so delicious that I ate a few too many and now I have some indigestion," Wu You said with an embarrassed smile.
"I wonder where in the manor you get your prescriptions from, Doctor Xue. I'll go find him right now and get a prescription to help with my digestion. I'm feeling really unwell right now."
"Did you eat that much? How did you get indigestion?" Fang Duobing looked at Wu You with a puzzled expression.
"I don't think the food at home is particularly delicious."
"Youyou, are you alright?" Li Lianhua stepped forward to take Wu You's pulse.
Wu You shook her head to indicate that she was fine.
"It was here that Doctor Xue prescribed medicine for my wife and me. He has already gone home by now. Should I ask someone to invite him over again?"
"Looks like I'm just unlucky. I might as well go back. I'll just walk around this yard a few more times, and that should be about right. It's not good to make someone come all the way again."
Wu You disagreed with Li'er's suggestion: "Miss Li'er, please go ahead and attend to your business. We'll look around some more."
"Yes, young master, I'll take my leave now."
"Wait." Fang Duobing called out to Li'er, who was about to leave again.
"Is there anything else, young master?"
"You mean when Doctor Xue came to our mansion to treat my mother and you, he wrote the prescriptions here?"
"correct."
"There are so many empty rooms in the mansion, why would you go to such a remote backyard to write a prescription? There's nothing nice to see here."
"By the way, Miss Li'er, when Doctor Xue came here to write the prescription, were there any other people around?" Li Lianhua also noticed that Doctor Xue's actions were somewhat puzzling.
"That Doctor Xue said he wanted to find a spacious and quiet place so that he could finish the prescription better."
Li'er carefully answered the questions from the group: "When he was writing the prescription, there was no one guarding him nearby, but there were servants working in a more distant area who could see where he was."
"By the way, when he came here to write prescriptions, did you bring him here, or did he ask to come here on his own?" Wu You asked a crucial question.
"After he made this request, we thought about it from all sides, but several courtyards were under renovation and were very noisy, which did not meet his requirements."
"It seems that he was the one who suggested this place. He said he had been here before and knew about it, so we brought him here."
