Liu Shimei used to know Du Gong as a respectable physician. According to her understanding of him, he would appear in the clinic every day, dressed neatly, speaking gently to the patients, and being friendly and tolerant towards his apprentices and servants.
In general, he was the kind of person who wouldn't raise any suspicion at all, no matter how much one speculated, until his true face was exposed.
So why, after being detained for over half a month, did Du Gong change so drastically... looking as if he had experienced death?
Was it because he knew he was sentenced to execution and lost his will to live?
Upon hearing Liu Shimei's doubt, Huangfu Lingyao glanced at her and said with a smile, "It's definitely because of Wife's compassionate heart; she can't help but sympathize even with a bad person!"
In his heart, he thought, 'A man, especially a lecherous one, without descendants and no hope in life, can he still have the will to live? Hehe!'
