Chapter 2267: Feng Wu the Ruler (4)

Lady w.a.n.g turned to Lady Gu and said in resignation, "That girl has always been so wilful. What should we do now? We can't let Xiao Qi stay up there. She'll get hurt."

Lady Gu stared at Lady w.a.n.g in disbelief.

Being the wife of the head of the clan, Lady w.a.n.g had always had a condescending demeanor, and Lady w.a.n.g had always respected her. But in this situation, was that all she would do now?

"Sister-in-law, order Feng Wu to stop!" Lady Gu stared at Lady w.a.n.g.

With no other choice, Lady w.a.n.g had to move closer. The front gate was shut, so she wanted to get in through the broken wall. However

Thump!

She also b.u.mped into the formation.

Luckily, she didn't use much force, so her forehead was only a little red.

Lady w.a.n.g frowned. "Why has the girl activated her formation again? Xiao Wu, please release your cousin."

Feng Wu still ignored her.

Lady w.a.n.g shrugged and told Lady Gu, "I'm sorry to admit this, but ever since that girl found her patron, she stopped listening to me altogether."

"A patron? Who?" Lady Gu frowned.

Lady w.a.n.g said in a surprised tone, "Do you not know?"

Lady Gu asked, "What did I miss?"

Lady w.a.n.g said, "Everyone has been saying how well His Royal Highness has been treating Feng Wu. He has to be fond of her and wants to marry her."

Lady Gu stared at Lady w.a.n.g in disbelief. "Sister-in-law, have you been at home for too long? How can you believe such rumors?"

Lady w.a.n.g feigned an innocent tone. "What do you mean?"

Lady Gu smirked. "I've heard that rumor as well, but the version I heard was that His Royal Highness only treats Feng Wu as a bed-warming maid. She's not even a concubine, let alone will she marry the crown prince! To His Royal Highness, Feng Wu is no better than a pet. Sister-in-law, you put too much confidence in her!"

Lady w.a.n.g said deliberately, "But I heard"

Lady Gu waved her off. "I asked my brother's wife, and she told me so. It has to be true. Just use your common sense. His Royal Highness would never fall in love with Feng Wu!"

"Is that so?" Lady w.a.n.g pretended to be persuaded, but she was laughing inwardly.

Seeing Lady w.a.n.g's att.i.tude, Lady Gu knew that her sister-in-law wouldn't be of much help, so she sent more people to find her husband and Feng Yanfeng.

Meanwhile, Lady w.a.n.g hinted to her own servants that they shouldn't bring the news to Feng Yanfeng.

That way, the war between Feng Wu and Lady Gu would last longer.

Granny Gui took the hint and walked away.

Meanwhile, Lady Gu's husband was on his way.

His name was Feng Yanya. He had just come back from a dinner party held by his colleague. It had been a pleasant night until Steward Ding found him halfway and told him to hurry back home.

When Steward Ding told him what happened, Feng Yanya was amused. "Nonsense. Wave Yard was taken apart and Xiao Qi was taken away by that useless Feng Wu? You've got to be kidding me!"

He didn't believe a word Steward Ding said.

Steward Ding was almost in tears. He didn't know how to persuade Feng Yanya, so he had to lead him to Wave Yard.

Feng Yanya was speechless.

"Lady Gu and the others are all at Fallen Star Yard now," a servant reported to Feng Yanya.
