Bab 661: Terrifying Illness

Ren Buqing stared at Chu Qingzhi in surprise for a while before nodding. "Then we'll go."

"Go ahead."

Ren Buqing left in a hurry with the officers.

"Fifth Sister, could this be a framing?" Chu Qingning struggled to accept such a cruel act could be perpetrated by a family. "How could our own kin do something so vile?"

Chu Qingzhi responded with calmness, "Whether it is or isn't, we'll know once we investigate."

Chu Qingning fell into a somber silence, her heart secretly hoping the allegations were false.

Chu Qingzhi then said, "Fourth Sister, I need to make a trip to Jinghong's place. You head home first. Let's keep what we discussed just between us for now. No need to alarm our second sister and the others."

With a reluctant nod, Chu Qingning agreed, "Mhm."

The sisters parted ways outside the tea house, one heading to the general's mansion, the other home.
