Wu Jinmai's POV
I was surprised when I heard the word gege from Lady Yang Hua. In this era, that word didn't exist yet. I place my hand under my sleeves.
"So... what kind of woman Wu Jinmai is? Wait, since when did you start using that body?" I ask.
"I woke up in this body two days after the three families were arrested. I think she died because of the bullying antics of Lady Zhang and Lady Wei against her. My body was aching and full of bruises and cuts."
I keep my silence and wait for the continuation of her story. "The empress was notable for being ruthless. She rules this empire with fear. As soon as she feels bored or displeased, your head will be rolling on the ground."
"That's why we're all surprised when we heard from the guards that the empress had changed drastically. It was even more surprising because after you tortured us, you sent someone to release the three families," she added.
