Lina's reaction made Lin Fu realize that her conjecture might have been wrong, even completely off base. Suddenly, her heart stirred, "Do you suspect that Ding Xuan was killed by me?"
"Sorry, I shouldn't have speculated recklessly." Lina hadn't expected Lin Fu to be so perceptive, which raised her respect and obedience to Lin Fu by another level.
"So you did suspect this, but why didn't you suspect it was the Major General who did it?" Lin Fu asked curiously.
"If the Major General had acted, he surely wouldn't have done it in a way that even a mere maid like me would know. Besides, the Major General doesn't need to resort to assassination, a method so underhanded."
For Major General Fu Xing, killing was simple; he had even killed people at the front gates of the Military Department.
Assassination was an insult to him.
"So it is, I thought it was because the Major General valued his family and, considering Admiral Fu Guang's face, also thought he wouldn't let Ding Xuan die."
