Holding Mrs Dugu’s hand, Mrs Zuo smiled wryly. “Sister, I’m not alone in this. Isn’t Yamo interested in that position as well?”
The entire imperial capital had heard how Dugu Yamo had tried to confess her love to Jun Linyuan, but ended up having her immortal flowers taken by Feng Wu. Because of that, Dugu Yamo had become the laughingstock of the whole city.
Mrs Dugu was furious when Mrs Zuo brought that up.
She asked, “Sister, what’s that supposed to mean?!”
Mrs Zuo immediately waved her hands. “Sister, please don’t be mad. I mean no disrespect. It’s just that everyone simply hates Feng Wu’s guts and they want to throttle her with their bare hands. Sister, don’t you feel that way as well?”
Mrs Dugu snorted.
Mrs Zuo tried to play nice. “Sister, how about we work together?”
Mrs Dugu narrowed her eyes and stared at Mrs Zuo without saying a word.
Mrs Zuo smiled. “Sister, don’t you want to get revenge for Yamo? I heard that Yamo was devastated and even tried to kill herself at home. What a pity.”
Dugu Yamo was Mrs Dugu’s favorite, and the girl’s tantrum had turned the household upside down. The mood in the manor was quite depressing and restless.
Dugu Yamo had tried to kill herself by smashing her head against a wall, but she failed, and there was now a big swollen lump on her forehead. It was quite a sorry sight.
At that thought, Mrs Dugu gritted her teeth.
“What are you proposing?” She stared at Mrs Zuo.
Mrs Zuo leaned closer and whispered something in Mrs Dugu’s ear.
Mrs Dugu looked a little relieved, but she still felt doubtful. “Are you sure?”
Mrs Zuo was very confident. “With both of us working on it, of course! If it doesn’t work, we can always ask the empress for help.”
The empress was from the Dugu family, and Mrs Dugu was her sister-in-law, so of course she would be on their side.
Moreover —
Mrs Zuo smiled a little. “Sister, haven’t you noticed? Her Majesty the empress dowager doesn’t like Feng Wu either.”
Mrs Dugu nodded and sighed. “That Feng Wu has really turned into everyone’s target. She’s going to have it very tough on this trip.”
Because it wasn’t just the two of them who wanted to get rid of Feng Wu.
“Everyone just hates her.” Mrs Dugu smiled.
Granny Gong ran at top speed to Jun Linyuan.
In fact, the crown prince had been agitated ever since the empress dowager took Feng Wu away. He couldn’t even clear his mind during his daily meditation.
“Your Royal Highness —” Feng alerted him from outside the carriage.
The crown prince didn’t reply.
After a pause, Feng went on. “Her Majesty doesn’t like Miss Wu. I’m afraid she’s going to face some very difficult times.”
Jun Linyuan snorted. “She’s so unruly. She needs the lesson!”
Feng was speechless. He thought, So be it. Your Royal Highness, I hope you won’t regret it later!
Granny Gong hastily arrived at that moment.
“Your Royal Highness, help! Her Royal Highness has taken out the medium Redness and is going to flog Miss Wu!” Granny Gong was worried sick.
The medium Redness?!
The large one could kill a person, while the medium one could destroy a person’s hands!
The stubborn Jun Linyuan suddenly got to his feet, almost breaking the ceiling of the carriage.
He raised the curtain and walked out without another word.
Feng rolled his eyes.
