“Sister-in-law, are you alright?!”
Mrs. Zuo said, “Turn on the light! We need to see what happened!”
Feng Wu thought, If you don’t know what happened, why did you say that I killed Mrs. Gu? Are you a clairvoyant?
Soon, the candles were lit.
Seeing Mrs. Gu lying in a pool of blood with her stomach stabbed, Lady Gu screamed, “Oh my god!!!”
She turned around and met Feng Wu’s gaze.
It felt like she had seen through everything.
Lady Gu’s stomach lurched.
According to the original plan, Feng Wu should be lying unconscious on the ground. Now, however, she looked like someone enjoying a show. Lady Gu suddenly felt like a monkey in the circus.
Why was this happening?
It wasn’t supposed to be like this!
After the initial shock, Lady Gu shouted.
“Feng Wu! You’re a murderer! You killed Mrs. Gu!”
Her face was twisted.
If one looked closely, they could see the hatred and satisfaction in her eyes.
“Feng Wu, what did Mrs. Gu ever do to you? Why did you kill her? You’re going to pay for this!”
Mrs. Zuo opened her eyes wide and seemed to be in shock. She rubbed her forehead and sighed, “Feng Wu, how can you do this? You really are in a lot of trouble this time…”
Because Lady Gu had shouted loudly that Feng Wu had killed Mrs. Gu, more people kept gathering around.
“What’s going on? I heard you shouting from far away.” Lady Wang arrived in a hurry.
And many more people followed.
Old Mrs. Long, Mrs. Tao, Tao Qingqing, and even old Mrs. Gu arrived after her.
Soon, people filled the room.
After word got around, all hell broke loose in the manor.
Soon, half the imperial capital learned that Feng Wu had killed Mrs. Gu.
It would never have spread so fast if someone hadn’t done it on purpose.
Of course, it was still known around the more prestigious families. For instance, Emperor Wu received the news almost right away.
He was having dinner with Consort Ranmil when Qingcao came in to tell them the news.
“What?” Emperor Wu almost dropped his chopsticks.
He stared at Qingcao and asked, “What did you just say?”
Qingcao was Ranmil’s maid, so naturally, they loved to hear such news. However, she couldn’t let it show in front of Emperor Wu.
Qingcao fought back her excitement and spoke in a reverent tone.
“Your Majesty, I have news from Her Majesty the Empress. It’s said that Feng Wu killed Lord Gu’s wife.”
“From Her Majesty? Did she say why?” asked the emperor.
