The Ye family discovered Ye Xiu's death, probably investigated briefly, and realized the situation was too deep to handle. They didn't dare to inquire further, choosing instead to let the matter die down, citing that Ye Xiu succumbed to water poison, died from the toxin, and had his residency records canceled at the Taoist Court.
In this way, the "Young Master Lin" who died on the Mistwater River never actually existed, and the Taoist Court naturally couldn't trace it.
The Ye family's "Young Master Ye" died, but they didn't know the cause, thus only quietly canceled his registry.
Both sides have muddled accounts that naturally do not match.
If Mo Hua hadn't investigated Ye Jin's death and uncovered old accounts, it would be impossible to discover that "Young Master Lin," who was found with a slit throat on the Mistwater River, and the Ye family's "Young Master Ye" who "died from poisoning," were, in fact, the same person.
Mo Hua sighed inwardly with some relief.
