Mu Qing's shoulders slumped. "But I really don't have any other ideas."
Yingxue glanced at her. The two had served their mistress side-by-side for many years and shared a special bond. She knew Mu Qing had an honest nature, so she spoke frankly. "This business with Lingshuang seems fishy to me. Our mistress asked you to investigate, so she must be suspicious too. Since you can't find anything and you don't have the heart to do anything malicious, why not spread a false rumor to test them a little?"
"What kind of false rumor?" Mu Qing asked quickly.
Yingxue chuckled. "You know how Xu Ji left in such a hurry? People in the palace have been speculating about it all this time. Why don't we pin this on her? She's not in the palace anymore anyway, so it won't really harm her."
Mu Qing was speechless.
'We can do that?'
