"Miss, Miss!" Leng Jingxian fainted, and the first to react was the butler. The constables also imdiately supported Leng Jingxian.
Seeing Leng Jingxian collapse, Hongzhu and Luchou wanted to help her as well, but both were restrained by two constables and couldn’t move, so they gave up.
The two could only stand anxiously aside as they saw Leng Jingxian faint, "Miss, Miss, oh dear, are you alright? Miss, don’t scare us!"
The Magistrate, seeing Leng Jingxian faint, didn’t dare to neglect, hastily ordered, "Quick, quick, go and fetch a doctor to examine Miss Leng." After all, Leng Jingxian was the Pri Minister’s daughter, and the Magistrate feared offending the Pri Minister with any negligence, which would certainly bring trouble upon him.
For his own prospects, the Magistrate quickly summoned the imperial physician. Although Leng Jingxian attempted to murder Su Yunjin, the act was unsuccessful, with no threat to Su Yunjin’s life, thus mitigating Leng Jingxian’s charges to so extent. This matter could be grave or trivial, mainly depending on how the Ning King judged it.
Now that Leng Jingxian had fainted, the Magistrate found a doctor, and both the Prince and the Ning King did not object. Initially, the Ning King planned to settle the case today, but Leng Jingxian’s fainting delayed it.
The trial ti passed quickly; Leng Jingxian was escorted back to the cell to rest, and Su Yunjin and Gu Ya left the Governor’s Office together in a carriage.
Outside the County Governor’s Office, there were quite a few villagers who were officials. The story of Leng Jingxian trying to murder Su Yunjin was spreading outside, and everyone wanted to see how the Pri Minister’s eldest daughter attempted murder, as well as how the two princes would conduct the trial, so they gathered outside. Although the crowd outside the County Governor’s Office didn’t know anything about what happened in the courtroom, it didn’t dampen their enthusiasm to witness the trial.
The crowd was buzzing with discussion, and so vendors ca to sell things and make money. As soon as Su Yunjin and Gu Ya exited, they were surrounded by people.
Gu Ya, seeing the crowd, frowned, fearing these people might harm his young wife, quickly shielded her in his embrace. Su Yunjin was completely protected by Gu Ya’s arms, and Xue Chu and Hong Wu were beside them dispersing the onlookers. The carriage was parked outside, and soon, with Gu Ya’s assistance, Su Yunjin got on the carriage, followed by Gu Ya.
"Little sister, little sister." Sitting in the carriage, Su Yunjin seed to hear the voice of her second sister, Su Ningxiu, instinctively lifting the curtain of the carriage, "Husband, is my second sister calling ?"
Gu Ya also heard Su Ningxiu’s voice, glanced at his young wife, and before he could speak, Su Yunjin spotted Su Ningxiu running towards them outside the carriage.
Su Ningxiu, her face flushed, ran over with Wang ng following behind. Su Yunjin waved at Su Ningxiu, "Second sister, why are you here?"
Su Ningxiu, running and panting, said, "Little sister, brother-in-law, what on earth is going on? I heard people say the Pri Minister’s eldest daughter tried to harm you? Is this true?" Su Yunjin hadn’t told her second sister about Leng Jingxian’s murder attempt out of concern for her sister’s worries.
Now that Su Ningxiu was asking, and seeing so many onlookers outside the Governor’s Office, thinking the townsfolk likely knew about Leng Jingxian’s attempt to harm her, she found no reason to hide it from Su Ningxiu.
So she nodded towards Su Ningxiu.
"Second sister, it’s a long story. You and brother-in-law get on the carriage first, and I’ll tell you slowly."
