"This little bitch thinks she can do whatever she wants just because she has the princess backing her up?" Hua was so angry that she trembled all over.
“Madam, this can’t go on. Didn’t you hear what the Third Miss said? That divine bird can find the Gu Master? The person is right here…” The old nanny dared not continue, her face covered in cold sweat from her anxiety.
If this person is identified, then the truth about the lady's plot to murder the old lady and the third young lady will no longer be hidden.
"What's the rush?" Hua sneered. "Don't worry, even if he gets caught, he won't betray me!"
The old nanny was taken aback when she heard this. Just as she was about to speak, Hua's voice came from beside her again: "Come with me and take a look."
She refused to believe that Ye Xianya could have such great power just by drawing a random talisman.
The firebird entered the inner courtyard of the Dong family mansion and flew all the way to the courtyard where the Hua family lived, hovering at the door of a room.
Upon seeing this, Dong Yunzhu immediately instructed her maid to open the door.
"How dare you! This is my courtyard. My clothes and jewelry are kept in this room. Anyone who dares to trespass will be punished according to family rules," Madam Hua said in a deep voice as she stepped forward.
Upon hearing this, Dong Mingzhu and Yunzhu chuckled lightly. Just as they were about to instruct the maidservant beside them to break down the door, the firebird formed from the talisman suddenly grew several times larger, and the surrounding temperature rose sharply, startling everyone into taking a few steps back.
The firebird circled once in the air, then suddenly crashed into the door, smashing it open.
This sudden scene stunned everyone present.
"This...this is nothing short of sorcery!" Hua said in a trembling voice.
"Madam, please say less!" The old woman was so frightened that she wanted to cover Hua Shi's mouth.
This is a divine talisman bestowed by the princess. Even if it seems unbelievable, it can't be called sorcery.
Everyone in the world knows that the princess is a member of the Taiyi Sect and practices the profound arts of the Taiyi Sect. She is a cultivator and has nothing to do with the demon race.
After the firebird crashed through the door, it quickly shrank and flew into the house.
Dong Yunzhu quickly followed him inside.
A tall maid was sitting in the room. When she saw everyone enter, she was so surprised that she stood up and subconsciously glanced at Madam Hua, who was the last to enter.
After circling the woman a few times, the firebird's flames slowly died down, turning into a wisp of smoke and disappearing.
"This is the person who cast the curse! Arrest her!" Dong Yunzhu shouted.
Several rough-looking maids standing behind her rushed over to take her away.
As it turned out, the woman was incredibly strong and managed to break free, rushing outwards.
Upon seeing this, Dong Yunzhu drew the soft sword hidden in her sleeve and leaped forward to stop the woman. Her speed and agility stunned everyone present, especially Hua Shi.
The woman, of course, was not going to surrender easily. She grabbed a broom from the corner and started swinging it around. She had some rudimentary martial arts skills, but she was no match for Dong Yunzhu. She was subdued after only a few moves.
The maids and servants quickly took out ropes they had prepared beforehand and went forward to tie the person up.
"You...you actually know martial arts!" Madam Hua rushed over, pointing her finger at Dong Yunzhu: "You little brat, you've been hiding it so well, aren't you afraid—aren't you afraid your father will come back and punish you severely?"
"What? Does my Great Yan Dynasty have a law that forbids women from practicing martial arts? The princess not only knows martial arts but also mystical arts. She is a model and example for all women in the world. Even the emperor has issued an imperial edict calling on all women to learn from the princess. Does Mother intend to defy the imperial edict?" Dong Yunzhu sneered.
Upon hearing this, Hua was so angry that she trembled all over. She wanted to say that the emperor's edict was utter bullshit.
Women should stay within the confines of their homes, devoted to being wives and mothers, not, as the imperial edict stated, encourage women to attend academies, claiming the court would establish special academies for women to study, learn martial arts, medicine, and even Taoist arts…
Can such a woman still be called a woman?
This is utterly outrageous and absurd!
The emperor was controlled by the princess, which is why he issued such an imperial edict, making himself a laughingstock to the world.
“When you first married into the family, my grandmother thought you were kind-hearted, so she trusted you to take care of me. A year later, when she returned to her hometown, she found me so thin that I was skin and bones and had almost been worn to death by you. I was only two years old at the time. From then on, my grandmother raised me and protected me.”
"She was worried about my safety, and also worried that one day she would be gone and unable to protect me, so she spent a lot of money to buy a maid with high martial arts skills to secretly teach me martial arts."
Grandmother also said that she should not reveal her martial arts skills unless absolutely necessary.
Dong Yunzhu kept it in her heart.
Today, she absolutely cannot let that Gu master escape; so be it if she's exposed.
"Over the years, you have plotted against me both openly and secretly many times. If I didn't know martial arts, I wouldn't have been able to dodge them at all!"
As her grandmother grew older, she became less capable and more willing to work. The power to manage the household was firmly in the hands of the Hua family, and her father was extremely biased, never caring about his daughter, only about the Hua family and their three sons.
Because of Hua's instigation, she was not even as good as his two illegitimate daughters in her father's heart.
Originally, her grandmother had already chosen a good marriage for her and planned to send her off to get married, so that she could leave the Dong family, leave the capital, and go to Jiangnan to live a peaceful life.
Not only did her grandmother want her to take all the dowry her mother had left behind, but her grandmother's dowry and savings were also hers.
My grandmother's wealth accumulated over the years is enough to make many people envious.
The Hua family was extremely jealous, which is why they wanted to kill the grandmother and granddaughter.
Money can be very tempting!
"Take this maid away and interrogate her thoroughly. If she doesn't tell the truth, cut off pieces of her flesh and feed them to the dogs," Dong Yunzhu ordered, turning her head.
"Yes, Miss!" several rough-looking maids replied with fierce expressions.
Upon hearing this, Hua was about to rush over when Dong Yunzhu suddenly swung out her soft sword, startling her so much that she immediately stopped in her tracks.
Just then, the old woman who was pulling the maid to her feet suddenly screamed.
"What's the matter that you're so panicked?" Dong Yunzhu frowned slightly.
"Reporting...Reporting to Miss...This...this person is not a woman at all, he is a man!" The old woman said, her face flushed and her voice trembling.
She just reached out to grab someone, and actually touched them...
“Men!” Dong Yunzhu turned to look at Hua Shi, a smile on her face: “Mother is really something, keeping men in her own room. It seems you’ve been cuckolding my father all these years. I wonder if any of my three younger brothers are father’s biological sons. Maybe none of them are!”
"You little bitch, you're spouting nonsense! I've never done anything to wrong Master, and my sons are all his own flesh and blood. If you dare utter another word of this nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart!" Hua screamed.
