Li Xian feigned composure as he bent down to examine Qiuyue's corpse. The 'Blood Seal Throat' poison acted swiftly, leading to immediate death when it reached the cardiac meridian. However, there were no visible abnormalities on the outside.
Li Xian knew very well that if he showed any flaws, Madam Wen would suspect his disloyalty. After a moment, he said, "There are no wounds on her body. Could it be suicide?"
"Qiuyue had no reason. She would never enter the deep mountains and old forests. She must have betrayed Madam Wen, intending to take advantage of... Madam's inconvenience to escape the manor. But upon reaching this place, she regretted it. Terrified of Madam's punishment, she ultimately decided to end her life here."
"Suicide?" Madam Wen laughed and said, "Then tell me, if it was suicide, who buried her?"
"This..." Li Xian couldn't answer. Madam Wen was not easily deceived.
