Early the next morning, Tong Shen Zhi arrived and told Xiqiu, "Lord Xu committed suicide out of guilt!"
Xiqiu's face changed upon hearing this, and she asked, "How did the Emperor determine his crime?" This determination was very important. If only Lord Xu was implicated, then his death would settle the matter. Otherwise, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the Xu Family could be wiped out, and even the Tong Mansion could be affected.
"Your sister-in-law was afraid you'd overthink it when you heard, so she asked me to tell you." Tong Shen Zhi paused and then said, "The Emperor is not pursuing the matter further. It's said that like Tianqing, Lord Xu was also harmed by the Gu Worms, and his mind was already clouded before his death!"
Xiqiu felt a heavy weight in her heart but couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief!
