Now that a disaster had struck, the first reaction of everyone was that Ling Xiang had committed suicide to follow her mistress in death.
Lady Dugu's heart tightened, and she immediately returned with the Maid, her face drawn tight, lips slightly pursed, she asked in a deep voice, "How is Ling Xiang now?"
"She slit her wrists, and the room is full of blood. When the Slave came, a Doctor had already been summoned, but the Slave thinks it's a bit doubtful." The Maid's face was pale, but her thoughts were still clear, her words well-ordered.
Lady Dugu did not ask any more questions but quickened her pace, hurrying into the courtyard that the late Lady Xiao used to live in.
