"Heavenly Palace people, understanding, understanding. I really didn't expect the people from the Heavenly Palace would die. Seeing them act all high and mighty, I thought nobody would dare kill them... but didn't they still get done in by the Yemo? What's the use of cozying up to them every day?"
"...Makes sense."
The voices faded away, and the rest became inaudible.
But even just this was enough to make the Grand Dowager and Zhu Shaoyun tremble with anger, their bodies cold, yet unable to explode.
"Damn Yemo! My Heavenly Palace will not rest until you are dead!"
...
The Zhu Family members brought back Mr. Shang and the two maids' bodies to the Zhu Family Mansion, the entire atmosphere of the mansion was as if the sky had fallen, so oppressively heavy that everyone could barely breathe.
"Wha... what do we do?"
Zhu Shaoyun's lips were trembling, his facial muscles had been twitching ever since he first saw Mr. Shang's body, and hadn't stopped until now.
