Chu Qingzhi clarified bluntly, "Are you suspecting Chu Qingning of stealing the medicinal herbs?"

The physician, appearing righteous and indignant, said, "Even if it wasn't her, it must have been her accomplice. She must take responsibility for this. Why would she come today of all days if not for this reason?"
