Of course, Feng Wu wouldn’t let Lady Gu get in the way.
She took off Lady Gu’s shoes and stuffed them into her mouth, and hit a few of her vital points. That way, Lady Gu couldn’t move a muscle.
Mrs. Gu glared at Lady Gu and went on exposing her.
“And what did you say? ‘Feng Wu won’t be a problem. So what if she tries to speak up for her mother? We have the marriage contract, and Lady Ling can’t change that. If all else fails, we can wait until Feng Wu starts Year 4. She’ll have to live on campus, and we can bring Lady Ling back home.’
“You also said, ‘My sister-in-law is a beauty, but she has the mind of a seven-year-old. She’ll believe everything we tell her. Once you have her, she’ll have to accept the reality. What can Feng Wu do?’”
Mrs. Gu pointed at Lady Gu and shouted, “What did you tell me before that? You said that Lady Ling seduced my husband and wouldn’t let him go! The truth is, she won’t even look at Gu Guanjun!”
“Shut up!” Lord Gu wanted to stop his wife, but…
He couldn’t even lift a finger.
He struggled violently, but the restraints around him felt like iron, and he couldn’t move a finger.
Who did it?
Who was restraining him?
Lord Gu raised his eyes and met a pair of brooding eyes. His heart sank.
The crown prince…
It was the crown prince…
Lady Gu wasn’t as calm as Lord Gu was. When Mrs. Gu pointed at her, she scrambled away from her in fear.
Everyone looked from Mrs. Gu to Feng Wu.
It seemed that they had all been misled. Feng Wu was never the killer!
She had been framed!
“I must have been blind! How could I marry an evil man like you?!” Mrs. Gu was exhausted after she shouted those words. She then fainted and fell to the floor.
Long Yanyi and old Mrs. Long picked her up and burst into tears. Why did this happen to their sister and daughter?!
Old Mrs. Gu’s heart sank.
She had wanted to pretend to faint, but Mrs. Gu beat her to it.

Luckily for her, now that Mrs. Gu was unconscious, she could start talking.
She gave Lord Gu a warning glance.
Lord Gu wanted to say something, but he couldn’t make a sound.
Left with no other choice, old Mrs. Gu stepped out and held old Mrs. Long’s hands. “I think my daughter-in-law must have injured her head because someone drugged her. That’s why she came up with such an outrageous story. If you believe her, you’ll only fall into the culprit’s trap.”
Old Mrs. Long hesitated.
Her daughter had indeed been behaving strangely. Was it possible…
Feng Wu smiled and told old Mrs. Long, “When I discovered Mrs. Gu, she wasn’t breathing anymore. I used some acupuncture needles to revive her.”
Seeing that old Mrs. Long still didn’t look fully convinced, Feng Wu frowned. “Mrs. Gu mentioned Moon Pavilion just then. That is to say, Moon Pavilion is the crime scene, right?”
“That’s right!” Emperor Wu rose to his feet. “I think we should take a look.”
Lord Gu panicked.
Moon Pavilion was indeed where the attack had taken place. He had thought that Mrs. Gu was dead, so he hadn’t cleaned up the place.. The others would easily find out what happened there.
