“Sister Tang.”

“Sister Li.”

Zeng Ya called out in a hoarse voice. Her voice was trembling, and her heart was as cold as ice as she looked around at everyone, wanting them to help her.

However, Tang Jinyun, Miss Li, and the others avoided his gaze one after another, pretending not to see or hear her.

No one spoke up for Zeng Ya, nor did anyone help her. Everyone avoided her as much as possible.

Zeng Ya felt despair.

In less than an incense’s time, she seemed to have been abandoned by this world and fell into a bottomless abyss.

Zeng Ya’s legs went weak, and she almost fell to the ground.

The two servants grabbed Zeng Ya’s arms silently and firmly shackled her like iron pincers.

Chu You said coldly again, “Bring her away.”

The three words were gritted with hatred and forbearance. All kinds of emotions intertwined, as if the hot magma was about to spew out, but it couldn’t be said.

The servant responded and pulled Zeng Ya in the direction of the wooden bridge.

Zeng Ya’s heart turned cold, and her blood turned cold. The blood in her body almost froze, and fear and uneasiness occupied her thoughts.

If she was sent home by Kang Wang’s people just like that, would she “die of illness”?

In despair, she struggled randomly and grabbed Tang Jinyun’s sleeve with her right hand.

Tang Jinyun frowned slightly. It wasn’t easy to push Zeng Ya, so her maid panicked. She stepped forward and grabbed Zeng Ya’s right hand, forcefully prying her fingers away.

The eunuch was already used to seeing palace maids unwilling to accept punishment in the palace. He didn’t care at all and forcefully dragged Zeng Ya in another direction.

Zeng Ya still didn’t let go. Tang Jinyun’s sleeve was pulled up and tightened by her…

At this moment, Tang Jinyun’s expression also changed. She wanted Zeng Ya to let go, but she was worried about her bearing and could only call the maid’s name softly.

However, Zeng Ya’s hand was really clenched too tightly, like a dying person holding onto a straw to clutch at.

“Hiss—”

Tang Jinyun’s sleeve was forcefully torn off by her. The two eunuchs dragged Zeng Ya away without changing their expressions or looking back.

Only Tang Jinyun, who had a piece of her sleeve missing, stood on the spot in a sorry state.

Tang Jinyun’s face turned green and white, and her face burned.

She had never been so embarrassed in her life. To her, it was simply as if someone had taken off her clothes.

She covered her face and almost fled.

A few more girls from aristocratic families who were on good terms with her hurriedly chased after her.

What happened in just an incense’s time was simply a climax, with many twists and turns.

Everyone was immersed in deep shock, and the surroundings fell into dead silence.

Some slow-thinking people had yet to react. They looked at each other with blank expressions.

However, most of the people present were young masters and girls carefully raised by their families. They weren’t stupid. Even if they didn’t understand at the start, they understood now that it had developed to this point.

“Jiaoniang, look, Zeng Ya is indeed crazy!” Chu Jia leaned leisurely on the armrest on the side of the long chair and smiled as she spoke to Wei Jiaoniang.

Most people knew very well that these girls from aristocratic families wanted to become the Eldest Prince’s concubine. They didn’t expect Zeng Ya to be so bold as to plot against Gu Yanfei in public in the royal palace.

In the capital, the origin of the two girls from the Gu family was very vague. It was a little secretive.

Zeng Ya used this as an article to seize on and make an issue of something. She was originally pointing her sword at Gu Yanfei. Unfortunately, she was too smart for her own good. She wanted to harm others, but she fell into it and stepped on Kang Wang’s sore spot.

“Indeed.” Wei Jiaoniang nodded repeatedly. “As the saying goes, Heaven’s Will is good!”

The last half of her sentence was deliberately said at the top of her voice for the others present to hear.

Hmph, since Zeng Ya dared to scheme against others, she naturally had to be mentally prepared to suffer a setback. Emperor Taizu said that favors had to be returned.

People around said, “What a pity” and “How could this be?”

Chu Jia deliberately went in front of Chu You and advised him nicely, “Uncle Kang Wang, don’t be angry anymore. Why are you angry at a crazy person!”

At first, he seemed to be comforting Chu You out of goodwill, but also seemed to be using words to stab Chu You.

Chu You’s expression instantly darkened again. His eyes narrowed into a line, and his gaze was like a nail nailing Chu Jia’s face.

The others whispered to each other. Seeing that Kang Wang was so angry, one thing was very clear. That servant named Li Zhaodi should be Gu Yunrong’s biological sister.

Many people were energetic. They felt that what they had seen today had added a lot of gossip to their boring days..
