Tao Qingqing couldn’t stand the suffocating atmosphere anymore.
Mrs. Tao still hesitated.
Just then, the servants whom the other families sent out to gather information came back to deliver the news.
WHAT?!
The fireworks at the central square were set off under the order of Young Lord Feng?!
Even Zuo Qingluan couldn’t deny the fact that Feng Xun and the crown prince were best buddies.
So
“Those words came from His Royal Highness?!”
“OMG! What’s that supposed to mean?!”
“Isn’t it obvious? His Royal Highness is telling everyone he’s in love with Feng Wu! Don’t you see? Feng Wu is the one His Royal Highness is going to marry!”
“Gosh! It can’t be! I don’t believe it!”
“That may not be the case. If His Royal Highness really is confessing his love for Feng Wu, why didn’t people of the crown prince’s residence set off the fireworks? Why was it Northern Feng Mansion?”
“Well, what does that mean?”
Hearing the conversation, Mrs. Dugu said, “It can’t have been His Royal Highness’s idea. I’m sure that it was Young Lord Feng’s own decision.”
But Tao Qingqing said, “But can those 100 million coins’ worth of gifts be from Young Lord Feng as well? Does he have that much money?”
Everyone fell silent.
Yes, Northern Feng Mansion could afford it, but Feng Xun was no fool. Why would he spend so much of his own money to show Feng Wu that the crown was in love with her?
Tao Qingging grinned. “That can be easily proven. If His Royal Highness didn’t give permission, no one would dare to use those words. You’ve been guessing that the fireworks are from Feng Wu or Young Lord Feng, but just wait until tomorrow. If Feng Wu and Feng Xun are both safe and sound tomorrow,
that means that His Royal Highness gave his consent. What’s more, His Royal Highness might even be the one who set off the fireworks. Do you agree with me?”
Tao Qingging didn’t really like Feng Wu, but she disliked Zuo Qingluan even more and would use every chance to annoy the sacred lady.
Zuo Qingluan stared coldly at Tao Qingging.
She had heard everything Tao Qingging said.
But because she was the sacred lady, she couldn’t be bothered to quarrel with an ant.
While she was staring at Tao Qingging, Tao Qingging stared back at her as well.
You don’t scare me! I’m from the Tao family, and I have amazing brothers! Bite me!
The temperature around Zuo Qingluan seemed to drop.
Mrs. Tao was speechless. She was here to make friends, not enemies. Seeing how things were turning out, she had to leave. “Mrs. Zuo, I’m so sorry, but we need to go to Wandering Temple early in the morning, so we should leave now.”
The mention of Wandering Temple reminded everyone of the important event of the new year.
Mrs. Dugu asked, “Did you get a place?”
Mrs. Tao said, “Yes, we were very lucky. We’re going to be the fifth to pray at the temple this year, and we can’t be late. See you later.”
