The Divine Physician’s Overbearing Wife

Gu Shi’s veins near his brows were throbbing. He took a step forward and tightly held Zheng Fenghua’s throat, his blood-red eyes containing anger.

  “Tell me, who on earth made you do this?”

 Zheng Fenghua was strangled to the point where she could not breathe. Yet the corner of her mouth was lifted in a mocking manner as she looked into Gu Shi’s angry eyes without fear.

 “Actually, I know who it is without you needing to tell me.” Gu Shi sneered. “In Tian Shen Manor, there are only a few families who intend to harm me. However, Gu Yiyi hates you so much. I want to know how you have managed to lure her to the back hill and what do you wish to achieve?”

 Gu Shi’s grip loosened a little, perhaps to allow Zheng Fenghua to answer his question.

 Zheng Fenghua coughed and sneeringly said, “Originally, her mother, my sister, had left the family heirloom jade pendant to Gu Yiyi. However, that jade pendant has disappeared, right? I lied to her, saying that the jade pendant was stolen by me and only I know where it is located. She has already suspected that it was stolen by me, naturally, she would follow me.

 “I knew that there was a prison on the back hill with nobody taking care of the place. She had originally wanted me to kill Gu Yiyi, but eventually only intended to lock her up in the prison for some time. She is so arrogant and selfish, bullying my family’s Cui’er, I wanted to discipline her a little.

 “I can enter Gu residence only because of her assistance. Who knows what Gu Yiyi has touched that it has turned out like this. Gu Shi, don’t even dream of getting to know who is the one plotting against Gu Yiyi. I will never tell you! I want all of you to live in fear forever.

 1An unknown enemy was more fearful than a known enemy.

 Since her brother-in-law would never let her go, why should she tell?

 Why not let Gu Shi continue to guess who the hidden enemy was?

 Gu Shi released his hands whilst looking at Zheng Fenghua. His face returning to the usual calm. “It is Qin Fei’er right?”

 Zheng Fenghua was stunned and clear panic flashed in her eyes. She quickly regained her composure and said with gnashing teeth, “I have no idea what you are talking about.”

 “Mu Ling has lofty ambitions, but he would never pick on Yiyi. That person, at most, would want to allow Yiyi to enter his manor. But he absolutely would not think of harming her. He has lofty ambitions, but he is cowardly. Mu Ling wouldn’t dare to do this kind of things.”

 Furthermore, now Old Master Mu was the one making decisions in the Mu family. If he were to say that he was worried about the Mu family before, now with Old Master Mu, he did not need to worry about Mu Ling having any corrupted thoughts.

 “Neither would the Luo family do such things. Luo Fei is one of my own people. As for the other families, their strength simply is not sufficient, not to mention they would not have the guts to do so. As such, there is only the Qin family left to blame. However, Qin Li has just made a breakthrough recently after seclusion, so it is impossible for him to do it. Wen Yu has not made any move and neither has Qin Chen. He has no feelings for the Qin family and he is Maiden Qing’s person.”

 Gu Shi’s eyes were cold but surging with murderous intent.

 “Some time ago, Yiyi had sided with Luo Li against Qin Fei’er. Only Qin Fei’er has the motivation to harbour ill intentions toward Gu Yiyi.” Gu Shi slowly walked toward Zheng Fenghua. “I don’t know what Qin Fei’er has promised you, that even at this point, you would not spill the beans on her. However, I would never allow others to hurt my daughter!”

 Zheng Fenghua’s heartbeat accelerated. She clenched her fists tightly as her whole body trembled.

 Her back was drenched in cold sweats, her spine stiff. The cold wind blew and her face paled even more.
