Xiang Cao was astonished.
"It's true!" Xia Rongrong, afraid that her maid would not believe her, spoke with even greater urgency, recounting what she had just seen, "When I entered, she hadn't finished washing the poison off her hands and stood in front of the dead rabbit, staring at the corpse like a monster..."
Xiang Cao was startled by her description but still managed to maintain a hint of rationality, "Perhaps Doctor Lu was just testing medicine?"
"Impossible! What kind of medicine can poison a person to death, besides, you didn't see the way she looked at me just now..."
Xia Rongrong remembered the way Lu Tong had turned to look at her when she accidentally startled her. Unlike her usual gentle and composed demeanor, the woman, hidden in the gloom of the lamplight, had eyes that were silent and cold, regarding her as if she were looking at a corpse, devoid of any emotion.
She suddenly shivered.
