After awakening, the eldest daughter was slapped all the way

"Gu Yeming was disgraced by Princess Anyang after his engagement was broken off. In order to seek revenge, he sent someone to assassinate the princess that very night."

"I wonder if it's possible that it was because of that genius Gu. After seeing Princess Anyang's talent, he felt extremely regretful. However, the two had already broken off their engagement, and he didn't want Princess Anyang to belong to anyone else, so he simply destroyed her."

"This possibility is very high. Another point is, think about it, Princess Anyang broke through to the sixth level warrior in such a short time. This talent is really amazing."

"I have every reason to suspect that he was worried that the princess would become stronger than him, which would be even more embarrassing. He was also afraid of the princess's revenge, so he simply killed her before she grew up."

"This young master of the Gu family is really vicious and malicious."

"Isn't this a bit too arbitrary? I don't think Mr. Gu is that kind of person."

"He's not that kind of person? There are still people speaking up for him. If he's not that kind of person, how could he do such an ungrateful thing? How could he take so many things from others without paying?"

"Now I remember there's another thing. Could it be that Gu Yeming simply doesn't want to pay back the money owed to the palace, so he came up with this idea?"

The people in the teahouse started talking to each other.

He said it in a serious manner, as if it had already become a fact.

Some people even quarreled over it.

Huo Tang took a sip of tea, lowered her eyes, and smiled faintly.

This is public opinion.

If you catch a glimpse of something, these people can say anything.

If she didn't know the truth clearly, she would have believed what they said.

I guess when I was in prison before, the words these people said were not very nice either.

But it’s different from now. Before, she was controlled by public opinion, but now she is the one who controls public opinion.

boom--

A loud noise interrupted everyone's discussion, and everyone looked in a certain direction in confusion.

Huo Tang also looked over.

Then she saw Gu Yeming’s good friend Zhang Qingyou.

It was the other party who overturned the table in anger just now.

She raised her eyebrows. How could she meet this guy in this place?

Is he trying to stand up for Gu Yeming?

Sure enough, Zhang Qingyou stood up. The two people beside him pulled him, but he shook them off with one hand. He said angrily: "What nonsense are you guys talking about?"

"Is Brother Gu such a narrow-minded person?"

He tried to hold it back, but couldn't.

He has known Brother Gu for many years, how could he bear to see him being slandered like this?

And those people kept saying that Brother Gu was ungrateful and sorry to Huo Tang.

But as a brother, he knew better than anyone else that Brother Gu had never liked Princess Anyang.

However, that marriage was arranged by the Gu Mansion and the Wang Mansion when they were young, and Brother Gu had no power to resist. But he didn't like Princess Anyang, and it was Princess Anyang who had been pestering him all these years.

Now that Brother Gu has the ability, why can't he pursue his own happiness?

Just because he broke off the engagement with Princess Anyang, these people described Brother Gu like this. Now they are still slandering Brother Gu. It's simply too much.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouths apart."

"Don't say that Brother Gu is not such a person at all. Besides, the people who assassinated Princess Anyang were at least level 6 warriors or above. How could Brother Gu have such ability?"

Huo Tang chuckled and took another sip of tea. She didn't comment further.

But what Zhang Qingyou said at the end was true. Where did Gu Yeming get such great ability?

In the Gu Mansion, Gu Yeming was not favored at all until his talent was revealed, and then he had some status in the Gu family.

Over the years, Gu Yeming’s current situation can be said to be all due to her, Huo Tang, and the Anyang Palace.

Not only did he break through to become an eighth-level warrior, he also became famous, and the emperor gave him a military position.

There is nothing else about Gu Yeming.

As for the Gu family, they would not give him such great support and would not agree to the other party sending so many level six warriors to deal with her.

From the very beginning, Huo Tang never doubted him, not because he believed in his character, but because he knew that he did not have the ability.

Rather than sending someone to kill her, it would be more convincing to say that Gu Yeming personally came to take her life.

Those people were scolded by Zhang Qingyou, and they cursed back without giving in: "Why is it impossible? You are not the worm in Gu Tiancai's stomach, how do you know what he is thinking?"

"That's right, he is the youngest son of Duke Gu and a genius. If he wants to order some people around, it's just a matter of a few words.

Zhang Qingsi opened his mouth but didn't say anything with a grim face.

He couldn't tell Brother Gu what kind of situation he was in the Gu Mansion.

So he had to change his words: "Everyone of you is speaking for Princess Anyang, but don't forget what kind of person she is."

"Don't forget, the other party still has a life in his hands."

"I think Princess Anyang is the one with the most evil intentions."

Moreover, Brother Gu had asked her to cancel the engagement many times, but she refused. Yet, she chose to do so at a time like yesterday, which shows how scheming she is."

"People like this are not worthy of your protection at all."

He changed the subject and turned his attention to Huo Tang.

Huo Tang's eyes narrowed.

The more he talked about Zhang Qingyou, the angrier he became: "And what happened today, don't you think Princess Anyang was too cruel? Nine lives!"

"Even if those people tried to assassinate her, they failed, didn't they? She couldn't just spare someone else's life."

He became more and more excited as he spoke, and didn't notice the strange looks the people around him gave him.

The first part was alright, but the rest of the sentence was...

People are about to kill her, so could Princess Anyang still talk about kindness to others?

That's not kindness, that's what an idiot would do.

At this moment, even the two friends next to him were looking at him strangely.

They lowered their heads in shame. If they could, they really wanted to pretend that they didn't know this idiot.

Huo Tang looked at Zhang Qingyou and chuckled.

No wonder this person could be fooled so well by Gu Yeming.

It turns out he has a brain problem.

He randomly picked up a bowl from the table and threw it in the other person's direction.

Zhang Qingyou stopped talking abruptly.

A bowl flew into his wide-open mouth and blocked it.

"Hmm, hmm—"

He was anxious, but could only make some unclear sounds, and no one could hear what he was saying.

He quickly tried to pry his mouth open, but found that the bowl was stuck in his mouth and couldn't be taken out.
