"What?"
Mu Xian's expression was grave, but he didn't appear overly surprised or angry. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Why do you say that?"
Cheng Qiao replied, "The Great General's residence caught fire. Such a big incident, and yet after a brief investigation, it was left unattended?"
"..."
"It's almost as if there's a reluctance to investigate further."
"..."
"And also, the Great General's illness has dragged on for so many days without any improvement. If we can't find the medicine, are we just going to let it drag on like this? Isn't that a path leading only to death—"
At this point, he seemed afraid to continue speaking.
Mu Xian's eyes flickered more intensely.
He said in a deep voice, "Are you suspecting Young Madam?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Qiao's expression changed, and he hurriedly waved his hands, "No, I absolutely am not!"
"..."
"I just find it... a bit odd."
"..."
