News of the Tao Xinde brothers sharing a mistress quickly spread throughout the Capital City. Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager summoned Duchess Gu En to the palace for a scolding. The duchess left the palace in disgrace, but inwardly she was indignant. 'Isn't the Empress Dowager just casting me aside now that I've served my purpose?'
Duchess Gu En suspected that the Tao Family's troubles were connected to Ming Fei. After all, they knew exactly what had happened with Baozhuang Building. The Ling Family had just dealt with Third Master Ling a short while ago, so it was possible he had exposed the Tao Family.
At this thought, Duchess Gu En could no longer sit still. The Tao Family couldn't be the only ones to suffer this undeserved disaster.
So, Duchess Gu En went to complain to Marquis Gu'en, pinning all the blame on Ming Fei. Otherwise, how could things be so coincidental?
She had no proof, but she did have a mouth.
