The death of Great Scholar Su was not just a test.
If he truly had treacherous thoughts, it would be a reason to deal with him...
...
Ningxin Garden.
Gatekeeper's Lodge.
Housekeeper Wu walked in from outside, looked around the Ningxin Garden, and asked Old Huang, "The madams didn't go out today, either?"
Old Huang took a couple of puffs from his pipe and shook his head, "No."
Housekeeper Wu sighed and said nothing more.
He knew why the madams were unwilling to go out.
Even he, while driving outside, was met with many cold stares, surely the young madams couldn't bear those strange looks from the people.
It was clearly the Emperor who wanted to kill Great Scholar Su, yet they dared only blame the master.
Besides, it wasn't the master who killed him, he escaped and committed suicide in prison, even injuring the master...
He was about to say something when he looked up, his expression suddenly froze, and he exclaimed with surprise, "Young Master..."
In the garden.
