Wei Shu merely dropped the dagger by accident, and Wei Shang's death from poisoning was his own doing— not even the Imperial Censors could find fault in this.
Moreover, given the current situation, Wei Shang's death was inevitable; it was only a matter of time.
Some wanted to keep him around a little longer, hoping to uncover more of his accomplices.
Now that the mastermind is dead, those still hidden among his ranks quietly sigh in relief.
Does this mean they're safe?
Just as such thoughts arise, Wei Shu's cold gaze sweeps across.
Though he utters not a single word, everyone feels as though their innermost secrets have been completely exposed.
He knows. He knows everything!
With Wei Shang dead, the Madam, son, grandson, and household members who entered Ye City with him have all been detained.
The real Wei Lian, however, never left Shu Region— he remains behind, continuing to administer the territory from the shadows.
