After Transmigration, She Sold Herself to a Man as a Wife-Chapter 138: People Woke Up

Regardless of what the attendants just said or the incident of rescuing the child, this Gu Dong family did not seem to be the kind of people who would do such things.

Noticing the change in the expressions of those present, Fu Zhixi, who was observing secretly, narrowed her eyes.

She glanced at the people arranged below to set the rhythm, and those rhythm-setters nodded in response to her signal.

After listening to the words of the old County Magistrate and Hu Jun, Gu Jinchen and his wife first bowed to the old County Magistrate, before allowing someone to receive the signboard.

"We have troubled you to make this trip, County Magistrate."

Upon hearing Gu Jinchen's words, the old County Magistrate waved his hand, "It's nothing, it's nothing, my duty."

As he spoke, the old County Magistrate looked around as if he had just noticed the situation.

"What is... going on here?"

Actually, when Lin Yun went to find Hu Jun, the old County Magistrate was also present, and he was clear about the situation in his heart.

The person praised and acknowledged by The Prince of Nanyang, he believed, was still trustworthy in character.

As for the incident at the First Class Pavilion last time, he knew more or less about it, and knew that it was the Fu family behind the mischief.

Now, looking at the situation and the scale of it, he could more or less discern the reason.

This trip to deliver the signboard was also intended to help Gu Jinchen and his wife in some way.

After all, Gu Jinchen and his wife were the ones who had rescued the young prince, and were benefactors of The Prince of Nanyang. The Prince of Nanyang and the Princess Consort had entrusted him with this matter.

Upon hearing the old County Magistrate's question, the perceptive ones present understood the purpose of the old County Magistrate's visit.

"To answer the County Magistrate, it was like this..." Seeing this, the second chief hurriedly went forward and recounted the whole incident to the old County Magistrate.

"How are the injured now?"

Luo Ge was helping Doctor Ming attend to the two injured guests. Seeing Doctor Ming finish administering the needles and about to give the guests medicine, she took the opportunity to secretly add some spatial water while helping Doctor Ming fetch water and feed the medicine pills to the patients.

At the same time as the old County Magistrate asked his question, the two injured parties happened to wake up and open their eyes.

However, the injured were being treated in a more secluded corner, still on the ground, and with many people around them, it was easy for them to be obscured.

If you stood a little further away, you couldn't see the situation clearly at all.

Those rhythm-setters, in order to facilitate an easy escape in case of any mishap, did not stand at the front, so they couldn't see clearly either.

Luo Ge had secretly adjusted the position of the injured, and from Fu Zhixi's current vantage point on the pavilion, the situation was also not visible.

But they all knew the situation and were clear that the person who coughed up blood would definitely not survive.

"Just now, he coughed up blood. When I helped carry him over, it seemed like he had already stopped breathing."

Thinking this, upon hearing the old County Magistrate's words, the rhythm-setters quickly seized the opportunity to speak up.

No matter how much their character was whitewashed, if someone ate at your restaurant and died at your doorstep, you could not absolve yourself of all responsibility!

In any case, if they didn't die today, they would have to be flayed alive.

Those who couldn't see the situation clearly and didn't hear any movement from the injured were startled upon hearing these words.

"Heavens, someone died?"

While the people at the back were shocked, before those at the front who could see the situation could speak, Doctor Ming stood up.

"To respond to the County Magistrate, both of them have woken up!"

"Slap!" These words made the rhythm-setters start in alarm, and even the distant Fu Zhixi stood up abruptly.

"Doctor Ming?"

Earlier, he had only noticed Gu Jinchen and those around him, the old County Magistrate had truly not noticed Doctor Ming in the corner.

Now that he saw Doctor Ming, who accompanied The Prince of Nanyang, was also present, the old County Magistrate became even clearer on just how much The Prince of Nanyang valued Gu Jinchen.

He silently rejoiced that he had come this time.

As for those rhythm-setters, seeing that the injured had actually woken up, they were even more astonished.

How was this possible?

"Regarding today's incident, everyone has their own perspective, but the most important thing is to hear from the parties involved."

"Since the injured have now woken up, why don't we all ask them what exactly happened?"

As soon as Doctor Ming opened his mouth, Luo Ge had already stood up.

Seeing this situation, she spoke up.

She had already learned from Doctor Ming the true cause of these two guests' misfortune.

Seeing Gu Jinchen's gaze upon her, she also nodded to reassure him.

Seeing Luo Ge being so open and even proactively suggesting that everyone learn about the situation from the injured, people became more willing to believe that today's incident was a misunderstanding.

After all, if it were truly due to some fault of Gu Dong's family that caused harm to the guests, there was no way they could be as open as they were now.

"These words are reasonable." Upon hearing Luo Ge's words, the County Magistrate also nodded, turning to look at the two injured parties who had regained their senses.

"What are your names? How are your bodies now? Can you still remember what happened when the incident occurred?"

Seeing this, Hu Jun took a step forward and asked the two injured parties.

Hearing Hu Jun's words, the two injured parties nodded.

They didn't know why, but they felt their bodies were in great shape now, with high spirits.

If they hadn't been told that they had nearly lost their lives, they wouldn't have realized how serious the situation was.

"In reply to the official, this commoner has recovered considerably. This commoner's surname is Lin, residing in Qiushui Street of Yiyang Town, and a regular customer of the First Class Pavilion."

"The fish dishes at the First Class Pavilion are very delicious, and I have a taste for them, so I often come here."

"Today, I don't know what happened either. After finishing the fish, as I walked out of the door, I suddenly felt a pain in my body. Then my chest felt stuffy, my vision blurred, and immediately after, it felt like I coughed something out. After that... I don't know anymore."

He had already lost consciousness at that point.

Hearing these words from the Lin guest, Hu Jun turned to look at the crowd, and then spoke up.

"When you were eating the fish today, did you feel anything was amiss? Besides this, did you notice any other abnormalities?"

Upon hearing this, the Lin guest shook his head repeatedly, "No, the taste was the same. I'm a foodie, I've eaten so much that my mouth is discerning, and the townsfolk all know it. If there was any change in the taste, I would have tasted it."

Hearing his words, the crowd: "..."

Okay, looking at your plump figure, we can see that too.

"What about you?"

After he said this, Hu Jun turned to the other injured guest, and the crowd also shifted their gaze accordingly.

"In reply to the official, this commoner is named Wang Bai. I've only been to the First Class Pavilion twice, so I'm not really a regular customer yet. However, I ordered the same dish as before, and I didn't feel any difference from the first time either."

"At the time, it didn't seem like anything was out of the ordinary. I just heard that this brother of mine had gotten into some trouble outside. I stood up and took a look, and then everything went black before my eyes. After that, I don't know what happened."
