Chapter 1247 Heavenly punishment
Chapter 1247 Heavenly punishment
Madam Mei did not even finish her oath when lighting clapped in the clear sky but that wasn't the end. The thunder that zapped past the sky then aimed at Madam Mei and struck her hard.
If not for the fact that Gu Mu pulled Madam Mei behind her, Mei Shu would have surely died then and there.
The crowd of onlookers sucked in a breath. The heavens really listened! They all looked down at the charred black spot on the road that was still fuming and then looked at Mei Shu whose face was paler than the moon.
"Oh My God! The heavens really punished Madam Mei! Doesn't this mean that she was lying? She actually harmed those poor souls and lied to their family that they ran away!?"
"This is insane. How many servers and waiters went missing again? Wasn't the number more than fifty?"
"You are concerned about the number? I am wondering what happened to the ones who vanished. Since they did not appear even once, doesn't this mean that they all..." The woman who finished speaking trailed off, she did not say anything nor did she make a claim but everyone understood what she was trying to say.
The eyes of the people in the crowd widened, that was right! If the servers did not run away and that Mei Shu was lying, then where did they go? Doesn't this mean that they were dead?
"You can swear once again, Miss Mei," Yu Dong spoke up. She did not say that the woman in front of her was indeed the culprit instead she caught the noses of the people in the crowd and then pulled them along as she wanted.
Mei Shu's heart was beating harshly, she did not believe that it was the heavens punishing her. Most probably this was a coincidence, right a coincidence. After all, the weather was a bit weird these days, surely this was just a coincidence!
"Sure why not! I think this is just a mere coincidence and nothing more," Mei Shu said while ignoring her thumping heart. She then looked at Yu Dong and then swore once more, "I swear that I have done nothing——"
Boom.
But these two foolish women did not want to listen to her and did their own thing. Now it was good, both of them would be sent to the yamen for a very long time.
She glanced at the Marquis and the Magistrate who was looking at Gu Mu with a frown and sighed. The Gu family's reputation was going to be ruined by her sister this time around.
Everyone would know that they have raised a murderer.
She wished she could put Gu Mu back in her father's womb and make him give birth once again, but this was not something that she could do!
Gu Mu also felt like she was cornered in a way from which she could not escape, she turned to look at Gu Ke Jin for help but the latter just shook her head. She was not going to help her.
'I....I don't want to go to the Yamen,' in the past, Gu Mu had acted like a tyrant because she knew that no one would be able to touch her. She had bullied the weak and feared the strong but she never knew that she would get into trouble like this!
If she did then she would have restrained herself a little.
With no option in sight, Gu Mu who was panicking felt her vision darken as she fainted on the road.
