2465: It Was Feng Wu

It Was Feng Wu

Mrs. Tao said, "Yes, that's what happened. Zuo Qingluan and Feng Wu's birthdays are on the same day, and they were both born with the True Phoenix Blood. What a coincidence. The Zuo family wanted to undermine Feng Wu, so they threw this big party and invited everyone important in the imperial capital. In the end, however, the most anticipated guest didn't show up."0

"Is she still trying to undermine Feng Wu? How…" Mrs. Chu was filled with anger.

Mrs. Tao was confused. "Is there something wrong?"

She found Mrs. Chu's reaction strange.

Mrs. Chu shook her head at Mrs. Tao. She recalled what she saw five years ago while on her way here…

But she stopped herself from going down memory lane.

She calmed down and said, "No, it's nothing. What happened after that?"

Mrs. Tao then told Mrs. Chu about what happened in the imperial capital, including the matter with the gift envelopes.

"That was very considerate of His Royal Highness." Mrs. Chu smiled. "They're truly the perfect couple."

Mrs. Tao found that statement strange. "But everyone knows that His Royal Highness and Zuo Qingluan make the perfect couple."

Mrs. Chu said, "If one has a poor moral character, they're not good for anything, no matter how precious their bloodline is or what an advanced cultivator they are."

Mrs. Tao asked, "Mrs. Chu, are you saying that Zuo Qingluan has a poor moral character?"

The Chu family was newly risen to power, but the Zuo family had a long history and was well-connected. Despite not liking the family, Mrs. Chu wouldn't offend such a colossus.

Before Mrs. Chu could respond, Tao Qingqing snorted and said, "That's what Zuo Qingluan is like. If you ask me, I think all the talk about His Royal Highness being madly in love with her are rumors she created herself."

"Watch your mouth!" Mrs. Tao shot a warning glance at Tao Qingqing.

Tao Qingqing took a few steps away. "I'm telling the truth!"

She suddenly stopped and stared at someone in the distance.

"What's wrong?" Mrs. Tao asked.

Tao Qingqing waved at her. "Come over here! Hurry!"

Mrs. Tao walked up to her.

"Mom, look!" Tao Qingqing pointed at someone ahead of them. "Doesn't that look like Feng Wu?"

It was snowing, and they couldn't see very clearly.

By the time Mrs. Tao went to her daughter's side, that person had moved even further away from them, so she couldn't make out who it was.

"Feng Wu? Why would she be here? You're imagining things." Mrs. Tao rubbed Tao Qingqing's head and thought that her daughter had been obsessed with Feng Wu lately.

"It really was her! I saw her coming out of the bamboo grove!"

That was where Master Linghu lived.

Mrs. Tao jabbed Tao Qingqing's forehead with a finger. "Why does everyone look like Feng Wu to you? Remember, we're still on Zuo Qingluan's side."

Tao Qingqing was frustrated.

Just then, the abbot announced that the first worshipper had left, and the rest could enter the main hall in turn. They would each be given an object that had been blessed by Master Linghu.

As a matter of fact, Tao Qingqing was right. The person she had seen was indeed Feng Wu.

Feng Wu suspected that the old monk had some connection to her beautiful master, so she asked him some questions.
