"Who was the person who had just left your house when you found Jia Jun dead?" Zhu Cheng asked, furrowing his brows.
"The Chief Historian Zuo." Lady Jia Jun replied, crying.
"Is this true? Are you sure you didn't see wrong?" Zhu Cheng questioned, doubting that a mere housewife like Lady Jia Jun could recognize the Chief Historian Zuo so clearly, making her words seem less credible. "Where is the family steward? Did you see the Chief Historian Zuo visit today?"
"Your Highness, yes, I did see him..." The Jia family steward quickly came forward, trembling, and nodded. "Today, the Chief Historian Zuo came to visit, saying that my master invited him to the study for a discussion. So, I took him there.
Once we reached the courtyard, he instructed me to leave. I dared not be negligent and quickly withdrew. It was only after the madam returned that I learned the Chief Historian had already left, and my master... also..."
He shivered, his face pale, unable to finish his sentence.
