Ma Yue is dead, and this is a significant event for Ma's Mansion. Upon learning of this, Lady Cheng, who had been confined in the Buddhist hall, ran out and cried bitterly over Ma Yue's spirit pivot, eventually shouting that it was Yueyao who had caused Ma Yue's death.
People in the mansion believed Lady Cheng had lost her sanity. Cousin Miss has been gone from Ma's Mansion for over two months, and there's no way she could have been responsible for Second Master's death. Besides, Cousin Miss had lived in the mansion for more than six years, and any such influence would have shown itself sooner. Moreover, Second Master committed suicide; it was his mistake, and how could Cousin Miss be blamed?
Of course, Yueyao had nothing to do with Second Master's suicide, but the fact that she remains at the temple without returning does seem rather suspicious.
