The Legitimate Daughter Returns: The Real Daughter is Reborn Chapter 120

Chapter 120 Born dumb

 Inside the palace.

Su Leyun followed Wei Ya and walked towards the place where the prisoners were detained.

The woman who was caught was not imprisoned in the sky prison, but was imprisoned in the secret prison on the east side of the palace.

Two guards stood outside the secret cell.

 “Master Wei.”

 The two guards saluted Wei Ya and then opened the door.

His eyes swept over Su Leyun, who was covering his face.

 “Ms. Su, please.”

Wei Ya's extremely respectful look was noticed by the two guards. They looked at each other and saw surprise in their eyes.

 Who is this young lady that makes Master Wei Ya respect him so much?

The expressions of the two men were slightly concealed, but Wei Ya and Su Leyun were both sharp people, and they could easily see their movements.

Su Leyun nodded and walked into the dark cell.

The cell was not dark at all. There were candles all around, making it look very bright.

 But Su Leyun still frowned.

She has a keen sense of smell. From a glance, the dark cell is also very clean, but the smell of blood that has accumulated over time is not so easy to remove. It even becomes stronger when she smells it.

Wei Ya noticed Su Leyun's slightly paused steps. After all, she was a young lady from an aristocratic family. I'm afraid she rarely saw such people.

　　Although Su Leyun acted swiftly when arresting people before, he was afraid that he had overestimated the other party.

 As we walked all the way to the deepest cell, the smell of blood became even stronger.

"Miss Su, interrogation requires some means. Why don't you wait outside for a while while I go in by myself."

 Worried that Su Leyun would feel even more uncomfortable when he saw the situation inside, Wei Ya kindly reminded him.

Su Leyun knew what Wei Ya meant. She pursed her lips and said, "Master Wei, don't worry. The imperial concubine is still waiting for news. Open the door."

"Hold on."

Wei Ya did not persuade him any more, but the appreciation he had for Su Leyun disappeared.

　　The calmness with which he found the Thirteenth Prince, and the alertness with which he captured the assassin, have now become a means of clinging to Concubine Qin.

 He thought that this Miss Su was different from the other ladies next to her.

 But it turns out it's still the same.

The cell was opened, and Wei Ya even took a step back and opened the cell door wide so that Su Leyun could see what was going on inside.

 But what he imagined did not happen.

 The cell was filled with the smell of blood. The captured woman was hanging on the wall. From a glance, there were not many intact parts of her body.

Su Leyun only frowned and had no other reaction.

She walked into the cell, ignoring the mess on the woman's body, and took the woman's hand to check her pulse.

Wei Ya looked at Su Leyun's actions and was hardly distracted.

Isn't she afraid?

“Master Wei, has she not said a word from yesterday to now?”

Su Leyun retracted her hand, but her worries were unnecessary.

Seeing the woman's appearance, she thought she was dead, but she thought there would be many prisoners coming to Wei Ya for interrogation, so she should be prepared in this regard.

 Wei Ya suppressed his emotions and replied, "Exactly."

 “She is mute.”

 “Mute?”

Wei Ya thought that from yesterday to now, it seemed that he had not heard a word from the other party.

 But this is not right.

 “If she is mute, how can she enter the palace and become a maid?”

 Having all five senses and no disabilities is the most basic requirement for a palace lady.

 How can a mute become a palace maid?

Wei Ya frowned, unless...

 “I'm afraid she is not a palace maid.”

Su Leyun checked her pulse and found out that the woman was born mute, not that her voice was destroyed after acquisition.

Since she was born mute, it was naturally impossible for her to enter the palace.

 And it was because of the clothes the other party was wearing when they caught her that they mistook her for a palace maid.

Wei Ya couldn't help but shook his head, "If you hadn't seen it, Miss Su, I'd probably still be kept in the dark."

Recalling the criticism he had just made against Su Leyun in his mind, Wei Ya cupped his hands and said, "Miss Su, I apologize for my previous disrespect."

"Um?"

Su Leyun was stunned for a moment. Was Wei Ya disrespectful to her just now?

 “Master Wei is too polite.”

Although he didn't know what happened, looking at Wei Ya's actions, Su Leyun could only follow along.

Seeing that Su Leyun accepted his apology, Wei Ya also breathed a sigh of relief, "Miss Su, since this person is mute, how can we learn the situation from her?"

 “Have your own way.”

Su Leyun pursed his lips and smiled.

 But now she has to make the other person wake up first.

Wei Ya put the person down, Su Leyun fed a pill into the woman's mouth, and applied needles to several acupuncture points.

When the silver needle was pulled out, the woman groaned and woke up from her coma.

 She looked at Wei Ya, her eyes full of death.

"remember me?"

Su Leyun opened his mouth to attract her attention.

Although Su Leyun wore a veil, the woman remembered her.

By the candlelight, the woman took a few glances at Su Leyun and recognized her.

The woman chuckled, as if in response.

 “I know you are not a palace maid, and you are also mute.”

These words made the woman's face change slightly.

She had been prepared to die for a long time. She even thought that her status as a palace maid could draw Concubine Qin's attention to the palace, but she didn't want to be exposed by Su Leyun.

The woman closed her lips tightly and tried to deceive Su Leyun.

“The rosemary you lit yesterday had no effect on me. Aren't you curious why?”

 The woman looked at Su Leyun, her eyes flickering.

Su Leyun smiled and said, "I am a doctor. I have checked your pulse before. I know that you are born unable to speak. You don't have to pretend to be a palace maid anymore."

The woman knew that she was completely exposed, so she became more and more indifferent. She stared at Su Leyun and Wei Ya closely, as if she was saying that even if they knew that she was not a palace maid, they would not be able to get any information from her.

"I can cure your mute disease. Even if you can't speak now, I can make you speak in a few days."

Su Leyun didn't care. She could indeed cure the other party's mute disease. It would only take a few days at most.

As long as a woman can speak, she has plenty of ways to get the other person to tell them everything.

 The woman's body stiffened for a moment.

 “But I don't think you may survive until that time.”

Su Leyun's tone became colder, "When your master sent you here, he probably didn't want you to come back alive. Why would you give your life for such a person?"

I don't know where this sentence hit the woman, but her expression actually calmed down.

　　It has returned to the appearance of a broken jar.

Su Leyun raised his eyebrows and had a guess in his mind.

 “You like your master very much?”

She opened her mouth seemingly casually, but saw the woman's face changed drastically and her body trembled heavily.

 Obviously, Su Leyun guessed correctly.

Although there are many ways to threaten people to death, Su Leyun felt that when she mentioned the word "master", the woman's expression was very different.

That kind of feeling is difficult to hide, especially for a woman.

Even just hearing the name of your sweetheart will reveal your love.
