Feng Wu didn’t know what to say, because she had no idea why Jun Linyuan was late. However —
“His Royal Highness has his own way of doing things, and as… as his maid, I know nothing about it.” Feng Wu hesitated at calling herself a maid, but she was going to be Jun Linyuan’s maid for the next 18 days, so she had to force herself to say it.
The empress dowager snorted. “I knew it. How can you possibly know what the crown prince is thinking?!”
Feng Wu rolled her eyes inwardly. If you knew that, why bother asking in the first place?
The empress dowager was visibly less displeased after that, but suddenly, she seemed to recall something, and the look in her eyes turned very fierce!
“Feng Wu!” She glared at Feng Wu. “How dare you!”
She smacked the armrest.
Any other girl would have been frightened to tears, but not Feng Wu. She was far tougher than the old lady could imagine.
“Your Majesty, please don’t be angry!” Feng Wu made to kneel down.
“Clean her hands!” the empress dowager said angrily.
Maids approached Feng Wu with punishment rulers in their hands and ferocious expressions.
The look on Feng Wu’s face changed a little.
The empress dowager was surrounded by capable people, and two strong elderly maids pinned Feng Wu down and twisted her arms behind her back.
Seeing this, Granny Lan was concerned, so when the empress dowager wasn’t looking, she raised the curtain and shot Granny Gong a warning glance.
Granny Gong had been waiting outside the carriage, and she immediately realized that Feng Wu was in trouble.
That was bad.
Knowing how Jun Linyuan felt for Feng Wu, Granny Gong could only imagine how chaotic things would get if the empress dowager ended up punishing Feng Wu.
At that thought, Granny Gong immediately ran off to report to her young master.
“Clean her hands with the rulers!” The empress dowager’s face was livid, and her tone was very decisive.
She believed that Feng Wu had seduced the crown prince. Otherwise, her Junjun would never have arrived late.
Outside the carriage.
Emperor Wu had brought people of various clans with him this time; Northern Feng Mansion, the Zuo family, the Feng clan, the Dugu family, and Mu Manor were all included.
Of the royal family, the empress dowager, the empress, Concubine Oriole, the third and fifth princesses, and the third prince were coming along as well.
They had yet to recover from the shocking scene of Jun Linyuan arriving with Feng Wu’s hand in his. So, right now, they were all discussing it among themselves in their respective carriages.
Lady Northern Feng wasn’t happy about it, because she still didn’t think that Jun Linyuan would be a good husband for Feng Wu.
As for the Zuo family, Mrs Zuo’s eyes were opened so wide, and she wanted to throttle Feng Wu.
Because of Dugu Yamo, Mrs Dugu didn’t hate Feng Wu any less than Mrs Zuo did.
Lady Mu also disliked Feng Wu because of what happened to Mu Yaoyao.
The Feng clan.
Granny Gong had excluded the Feng clan from the list, but Empress Dugu had somehow managed to get their names added back.
Therefore, Feng Liu, Feng Sang and Lady Wang were also here.
There were other families and clans as well.
Mrs Zuo and Mrs Dugu were sitting in the same carriage at the moment.
Mrs Zuo frowned and asked Mrs Dugu, “Sister, did you see it?”
Mrs Dugu asked, “What?”
Mrs Zuo said, “His Royal Highness and Feng Wu are quite familiar with each other.”
Mrs Dugu smiled a little. “Sister, are you nervous? Well, Qingluan is the crown prince’s wife-to-be, so your reaction is only to be expected.”
