Housekeeper Hu hesitantly handed a note to the Grand Dowager.
"Found under the table in the room. I've confirmed, it is not Madam Teng's handwriting!"
A note on its own means nothing, but the content made one's spine chill; clearly, it was mistakenly left by the perpetrator.
Swift execution, leave no witnesses!
Housekeeper Hu, also breaking out in a cold sweat, bowed even lower.
The Grand Dowager took the note, its small, elegant handwriting showcasing a single line that made her expression suddenly tense.
Housekeeper Hu continued, "I've called the forensic doctor, there are two purple marks on the neck, one deep and one light..."
That is to say, Teng Qiuniang was strangled to death.
She, merely a concubine, had no external contacts, yet suddenly fell victim to murder...
The Grand Dowager clutched the note, waved her hand and said, "No need to linger, bury it tomorrow." She paused and added, "Do not tell anyone about this matter."
