Gu Jinghui said, "That's right, women like to chat idly, and when they talk too much, secrets can't be kept, and inevitably something will slip out."
At this point, Marquis Gu's heart was stirred.
"Have him thoroughly investigate again, which families are closely connected with Mrs. Zhao, and what topics do they usually discuss?"
This is meant to get to the bottom of things with Mrs. Zhao.
Gu Shiliu asked, "Marquis, are you suspecting something?"
Gu Jinghui said, "Nowadays, I increasingly feel that Mrs. Zhao is enveloped in suspicion. Those two nannies around her, now that I think about it, also seem off. This outbreak has blocked our hands and feet, and the Magistrate can't properly adjudicate the case. If it weren't for the decisive lockdown of the residence, now the Capital City might have already been ravaged by the outbreak, all blamed on us. Who would care to investigate the whereabouts of a woman then?"
Gu Shiliu nodded in agreement.
