Puzzled

Ning Yue exhaled heavily. "Grandpa, this matter isn't that simple."

She slowly analyzed the logic for the old man. "Grandpa, if it were you who saw a person quarreling with someone of higher status and power, and the other person died the next day, would you think that the person of high status killed the other person?"

Old Master Ning fell silent. He would indeed think so, but he was different. He had never done it before. After a long time, he said, "But I didn't do this."

"Grandpa, I know you didn't do it. We all believe you, but if you want the people outside to believe you, we have to investigate this matter carefully," Ning Yue said.

The old man didn't say anything else. He had done wrong. He hadn't considered the implications of this.

At best, he would be pointed at when he went out, but it would be forgotten over time.
