When she heard this news from Consort Liu, she still couldn't believe it, until she saw the clothes her brother had been wearing before he disappeared, covered in blood.
If Miss Xue from the Xue Family intended to take her life, she would have no complaints, but why preach benevolence and morality only to kill her brother for her own selfish needs...
Cai Qin tightly clenched her hand hidden in her sleeve, digging her fingernails into her flesh to calm herself down.
Upon hearing the answer, the Noble Consort was reassured. She was aware of Cai Qin's capabilities, otherwise, she wouldn't have gone to great lengths to bring her into the palace years ago.
No longer focusing on these trivial matters, she slowly sat back down and asked, "When did this message start spreading in the palace?"
She needed to think of a strategy to respond, as it was not her doing. Even if Consort Zhen implicated her, she was confident that she could clear her name.
