Wu Zhengqing gave him a cold look and flung off his plump arm, throwing out a sentence, "You think I want to follow you? If it wasn't for the fact that your affair is being sung about all over the streets, I wouldn't bother!"
Wu Jiangtao had been staying in the brothel; how could he have heard any of this? It wasn't that the women there hadn't heard of it, but everybody guessed that the nursery rhyme being sung was about the Wu family of Jiangnan, so none of them had mentioned it in front of him.
"That woman, she's dead! Allegedly, she drowned herself in the lake, and her fiancé has already taken the case to the Yamen, claiming she was taken and murdered after her virtue was stolen."
Listening to Wu Zhengqing's words, Wu Jiangtao blinked blankly and quickly clarified, "No, no, I didn't kill her! She must have jumped into the lake and committed suicide on her own! Her fiancé? Right, the one who ruined her must definitely be her fiancé!"
