What does fitzgerald convey to the reader by choosing the word "conspiring" in the description of tom and daisy in their kitchen?

In the kitchen scene, it's clear that Tom and Daisy are furtively whispering but it's unstated what they are speaking about. Given the context though, it is pretty obvious that they're talking about the car crash and the death of Myrtle. Tom and Daisy are conspiring against Gatsby in a manner of speaking because they are working together to spin the story of the car crash. Daisy needs protection from this story and Tom is just the type of amoral person to do it.

The gregorian chant was a major cultural milestone in the middle ages. it was one of the first codified forms of music meant to be played as written, where previously it was difficult to mass-produce and disseminate any music. what's more, these chants were also some of the first examples of musical notation: the notes and bars of today's music sheets are a reflection of centuries of evolution beginning with these chants. it became official throughout the entirety of the catholic church, meaning that nearly all of europe followed this musical notation and styling.
