Godly Empress Doctor - Chapter 1456
Chapter 1456: Untitled
Granny Gong said, “You think too highly of me.”
Feng Wu snorted, walked out the door, and headed for the Fang manor next door.
Grand Secretary Fang was a highly capable man and Xiaoqi’s teacher. Why would he let the imperial guards take Xiaoqi away?
However, when she got there, Steward Fang told her that Grand Secretary Fang was out visiting a friend.
“Out visiting a friend? What a coincidence.” Feng Wu frowned.
Steward Fang bowed. “Yes, the old master received an invitation from Old Master Zeng and immediately set out.”
“Did he say when he’ll be back?” Feng Wu narrowed her eyes.
Steward Fang shook his head with a wry smile.
Feng Wu went back to Fallen Star Yard and only asked Granny Gong in an indifferent voice, “Does Jun Linyuan know Old Master Zeng?”
Granny Gong replied in an unperturbed tone, “The old master taught His Royal Highness scriptures for a year before. He retired and went back to his hometown after His Royal Highness mastered everything.”
So, Old Master Zeng’s invitation must’ve been designed by Jun Linyuan to lure Grand Secretary Fang away!
“Damn you, Jun Linyuan!”
What lengths would he go to, just to keep her around him?
Feng Wu was speechless.
Granny Gong looked at Feng Wu. “Miss Wu, stalling may not do Young Master Qi any good.”
Of course Feng Wu knew that, but she still couldn’t get over the fact that she was being threatened.
“Xiao Wu, did the crown prince really hit you?” the beautiful lady asked between broken sobs.
Feng Wu’s eyes widened. “Did Jun Linyuan hit me?”
Where did that rumor come from?!
The beautiful lady caressed Feng Wu’s face with her soft hands and said nervously, “Good. There’s no scar…”
Feng Wu was speechless.
She took her mother’s hand and frowned. “Mom, who told you that?”
Since the beautiful lady remained at Fallen Star Yard all the time, rumors outside shouldn’t be able to reach her, not to mention that it was utter nonsense.
Qiuling immediately complained, “It’s all because of Miss Liu. When Young Master Qi was taken away, she came here and spouted all sorts of rumors. We chased her off, but my lady obviously heard her.”
“That’s right. They took Xiaoqi away. Xiao Wu, your brother was kidnapped —” The beautiful lady sobbed and looked so perplexed. “Where did your brother go?”
Feng Wu gave her mother a sympathetic look.
She had no idea what the beautiful lady had gone through, but she had always lived in a confused state like this. To her, the world revolved around Feng Wu and Xiaoqi. Now that Xiaoqi was missing, she was bound to feel anxious.
“Mom, don’t worry. I’ll bring Xiaoqi back.” Feng Wu sighed inwardly.
Granny Gong was right. It would be very unwise of her to argue with Jun Linyuan right now.
Since she couldn’t do that, she had to change her approach. She didn’t like the idea, but what choice did she have?
“Let’s go.” Feng Wu glanced at Granny Gong and walked out of the courtyard.
Granny Gong heaved a sigh.
She was genuinely worried that the young couple would fall out again. By now, because of Bixi, the empress dowager had noticed Feng Wu again.
Granny Gong felt a headache coming on when she thought about that old lady.
Feng Wu and Granny Gong left the Feng manor and went back to the crown prince’s residence.
However —
