Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Madam Yu tightened her grip on the handkerchief in her hand, her eyes growing dark.
The Yu Family Head waved the middle-aged man away. He stood up in frustration and paced back and forth in the hall. He said in a deep voice, “How would I know!”
He wished he could call Shangqing here to confront him right now, but there had been no news of Shangqing since they entered the palace yesterday.
Madam Yu frowned and thought about the whole thing carefully again. She said, “Why did those people push Shangqing out as a target?”
Shouldn’t this matter be directed at the Emperor for being heartless? In the end, Shangqing was the one who was infamous for being the demonic priest! Madam Yu looked at her eldest brother, thinking that this was his idea.
“It wasn’t me!” The Yu Family Head denied it unhappily. “Second Sister, don’t think too much.”
Shangqing was a direct descendant of the eldest branch of the family. He had spent more than ten years and a lot of the Yu family’s resources to achieve such a high status. How could they abandon Shangqing unless they had no other choice?
The Yu family would never spend another 10 to 20 years nurturing another Shangqing. They couldn’t afford to wait. Over the years, the Yu family had been in danger.
The Yu Family Head sat down on the armchair at the head of the table. He pounded his fists on his knees several times, feeling frustrated, unwilling, anxious, and so on.
They had clearly planned everything well, but now, the situation had completely gone out of control. The development of the matter was completely different from what they had deduced previously.
Shangqing was used as a target. There were no casualties at the right gate of Chang’an, and even the drum was sounded...
One could imagine that the Emperor would definitely not ignore someone knocking on the drum. Then, next...
Madam Yu’s heart was in a mess, she quickly asked again, “Big brother, what should we do now?”
The Yu Family Head rubbed his sore brows and said with a dark gaze, “Kang Wang should have received the news too. ”
If the situation was completely out of control, they could only push Kang Wang out to stand out.
Even if there was no evidence, the Emperor would definitely believe that the mastermind behind all of this was Kang Wang.
Or rather, the Emperor would be “willing” to let it be Kang Wang. When the time came, he would let the two brothers fight for it.
At this moment, the old butler guarding outside the hall came in and reported,
“Master, Ah Li is back.”
“Let him in,” the Yu Family Head hurriedly said.
The young man in gray named Ah Li hurried into the hall. He rushed all the way from the right gate of Chang’an, and his breath was a little unstable.
“Family Head.” Ah Li cupped his fists and reported, ‘The Emperor left the palace and arrived at Chengtian Gate five minutes ago.”
The first thing he said was shocking.
Before the Yu Family Head and Madam Yu could regain their senses, Ah Li continued right on the heels of saying, “Second Lady Gu of Dingyuan Marquis Household said that she can save the eldest princess.”
When Madam Yu heard the other party mention Gu Yanfei, her hand trembled violently and she almost smashed the teacup in her hand. The tea spilled out of the teacup and scalded her fingers.
Second Lady Gu?
Gu Yanfei!
How could it be her!
How did Gu Yanfei get involved in this matter for no reason?!
Madam Yu couldn’t help but think of the phoenix-patterned jade pendant. The phoenix-patterned jade pendant was shattered into pieces and could no longer be pieced together. Her gaze became even more sinister. Madam Yu pursed her lips mockingly. “She knows medicine?”
So what if she knew medicine?!
What the eldest princess had wasn’t an illness at all.
Instead...
Ah Li immediately replied, “Second Lady Gu said that it’s a Gu.
” ” Lady Yu almost lost her composure and stood up. The handkerchief in her hand slipped from her fingers, and she asked in a trembling voice, “How did she know it was a Gu?’
Ah Li shook his head and remained silent. He didn’t know about this. Madam Yu asked again in a suppressed tone, “What else did Second Lady Gu
Ah Li instinctively wanted to shake his head, but he suddenly thought of something. His eyes widened, and he said, “Oh right, it was Second Lady Gu who brought that scholar to sound the drum!”
Madam Yu’s expression changed again, and her heart went numb.
In other words, Gu Yanfei had something to do with today’s situation getting out of control!
Gu Yanfei’s beautiful face appeared in Madam Yu’s mind.
This girl was beautiful, but Madam Yu had never thought highly of her. The eldest branch of the Gu family had long been crippled, and this girl had been missing for 14 years. Having mixed with those lowly commoners since she was young, Madam Yu thought she was vulgar and dirty.
So what if she was beautiful? What was the difference between her and those prostitutes?!
If not for that phoenix-patterned jade pendant, Madam Yu wouldn’t have wronged her son.
Madam Yu had already thought it through. As long as she got that jade pendant, she would break off the engagement on the pretext that she was indecent and had an affair with someone..
