“Yes,” Laifu asked again, “Then her clothes…” As Zhang Jingwen’s most capable maid, and in a family like the Zhang family, Xiangming’s life was no worse than others, but rather better than that of ordinary officials’ daughters, so she had quite a lot of things.
"Have you found the clothes she changed out of today?" Zhang Wu asked.
Lai Fu said, "We found it. It was in the ditch not far from where the young lady's body was found, and also in her shoes. They were covered in blood."
It turns out that after Xiangming killed Zhang Jingwen, she found herself covered in blood. So she went to a clothing store and bought a coat and shoes. After changing into them, she cleaned up her dirty clothes. However, she didn't expect that there was blood on her face as well.

Did the Zhang family specifically tell her that Zhang Jingwen was dead?
Looking at the white invitation in her hand, Bai Nuo asked, "Are we going to pay our respects?"
She and Zhang Jingwen weren't exactly close. If Zhang Jingwen hadn't repeatedly provoked her, Zhang Jingwen would probably just be a wealthy customer of Duobaoge. Bai Nuo was quite happy doing business with Zhang Jingwen.
But they came specifically to tell her that this person had died, and it wouldn't be right not to go and pay her respects.
Although funerals and weddings are opposites, they both have one thing in common: you have to attend when someone sincerely invites you.
