The beautiful smile on Gu Yanfei’s lips deepened.
Zeng Ya stared fixedly at the smile on Gu Yanfei’s lips, her eyes abnormally dark and deep.
She bowed elegantly and said seriously, “Second Lady Gu, although I was in the wrong, you shouldn’t…”
She sighed faintly and pursed her lips, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. After hesitating for a moment, she continued, “I hope you can listen to my advice. The truth is the truth, after all. Even if you can hide it for a while, you can’t hide it forever.”
“Water flows to the bottom, and people go higher… It’s human nature for you to want to find a good marriage, but once it involves the royal family, it’s a crime of deceiving the Emperor.”
Zeng Ya looked like she couldn’t bear it. Her words were tactful and reserved. She didn’t go too far, but it was obvious what she meant.
Here we go again! These pretentious girls from aristocratic families are beating around the bush again!! The corners of Wei Jiaoniang’s mouth twitched, and she didn’t hide the displeasure on her face.
Wei Jiaoniang could hear the hidden meaning in Zeng Ya’s words, and so could the others. Zeng Ya was clearly saying that in order to marry the Eldest Prince, Gu Yanfei had hidden the matter of her previous engagement, and she pointed out that Gu Yanfei had committed the crime of deceiving the Emperor!
If there was no evidence, Zeng Ya wouldn’t dare to criticize Gu Yanfei, right?!
For a moment, gasps rose and fell, but no one spoke.
Everyone’s expressions became very strange. They all glanced at Chu Yi, who wasn’t far away, and thought to themselves, “I wonder if the Eldest Prince heard her.”
If Gu Yanfei had really been engaged before, how would the Eldest Prince react?
Now that everyone knew about this matter, there had to be an explanation for whether it was true or not. It wasn’t something that the Eldest Prince could easily brush off with a word.
Otherwise, where would the dignity of the royal family go!
In this tense atmosphere, Gu Yanfei laughed.
“Heh.” Gu Yanfei smiled as if she had seen a wonderful show. Her smile was unsatisfied.
Her clear and wise gaze looked straight at Zeng Ya’s glabella, as if she could see through her thoughts, but also as if she could see through the karma of the world.
She said calmly, “Miss Zeng must have gone crazy.”
Gu Yanfei had a smile on her lips. She spoke very calmly, but she looked serious.
Zeng Ya’s heart inexplicably trembled.
A cold wind suddenly blew from the lake.
The sunlight shone through the branches and leaves of the willow tree, casting mottled shadows on Zeng Ya’s face and body. When the wind blew, the shadows floated, as if some shadow was floating across her face, or something was about to break out from under her skin…
The atmosphere suddenly became cold, as if it had returned from spring to winter. Even the wind seemed to have a hint of coldness. It was sinister, and even the surrounding sunlight didn’t seem to be as bright.
The people who were whispering were all shocked and fell silent. There was dead silence.
Everyone felt their hair stand on end.
Everyone knew that Second Lady Gu was a Daoist expert with boundless magic power. Since she claimed that Zeng Ya had gone crazy, could it be that she had seen something from Zeng Ya?
Could they not see what only Second Lady Gu could see?
It was said that the Celestial Rectifier Spiritual Master, who a.s.sisted Emperor Taizu, had a pair of “divine eyes” that could see through Yin and Yang and spy on the heavenly secrets. Not only did he recognize heroes and submit to Emperor Taizu, but he also saw through and resolved many sinister spells targeting Emperor Taizu.
Could it be that Second Lady Gu also had a pair of “divine eyes”?
Lu Qin couldn’t help but tug at Gu Yanfei’s sleeve and ask, “Yanfei, what’s wrong with Zeng Ya?”
Ever since the Hua family’s matter, Lu Qin had been in awe of these Daoists.
At this moment, after hearing Gu Yanfei’s words, the more she looked at Zeng Ya, the more she felt that something was wrong.
The Zeng family was an aristocratic family. These n.o.ble families had always paid the most attention to rules and etiquette.
Today, Zeng Ya’s actions were strange. She had inexplicably brought a servant who hadn’t even been taught the rules well to the royal palace. She had even allowed the servant to spout nonsense and cry here. Now that she thought about it, it was really abnormal.
Either Zeng Ya was deliberately provoking her, or she had gone crazy?
Most of the others thought the same as Lu Qin and swallowed hard.
So—
“Could it be that she’s really crazy?” Tang Jinyun asked the question in everyone’s hearts.
Her voice was actually very soft, but it was very clear in the silent atmosphere..
