"Old woman," those three words struck directly at Gu Yu's tail, and she immediately flared up in anger, "You little wench, dare you say another word!"
"Enough!"
At this moment, a cold and stern shout came from above Zhao Xi.
Xiu Dong immediately shut her mouth.
Gu Yu, though unwilling, also fell silent.
Even with suspicions, Zhao Xi couldn't directly convict her, only saying, "Aunt is the steward of the Eastern Palace, Wan Qiu and Zhi Xia are both inner court ladies, some matters are not for me to interfere with lightly, the investigation of the real culprit will be left to Aunt!"
Gu Yu was secretly delighted, wasn't it easy if it's left to her? She could randomly find a scapegoat and sooner or later let this murder case be buried deep.
Xiu Dong, seeing Gu Yu's reaction, felt a hidden resentment yet also found it secretly satisfying.
