Why would she commit suicide?
Zheng Fan couldn't understand this hypothesis, even though A Ming supported it with a field assessment.
A Ming shook his head. "My lord, that's a question beyond my ability to answer right now. However, one method is to infer her motive from the consequences. Consider the disturbances her death has caused or could potentially cause."
"You mean she wanted to drive a wedge between Lord Jingnan and the Imperial Court?"
"I am merely offering a conjecture, my lord. You are the one who makes the decisions."
Zheng Fan shook his head. "No, something's wrong. There must be other issues here."
"Do you think Lord Jingnan might already know she committed suicide?"
"I'm not sure, but…"
"But what?"
