“What?” Second Madam Gu immediately jumped to her feet, “You’re saying you’re allowing that animal to attend the banquet? Lin’er, think of your status. You’re the Young Master of the Gentle Breeze Faction. What status does she have? She’s just a sl*t that got to where she is today with an old art! Is she even worthy? I find that it’s a humiliation to the Gu household if she even steps a foot in through the door!”

　　In the past, Second Madam Gu would not have dared to say things like that. But now, her son was the Young Master of the Gentle Breeze Faction, how could she not be proud? Gu Ruoyun, that young girl was just filthy rubbish when compared to her outstanding son!

　　“That’s enough, don’t say too much,” General Gu looked unhappily at Second Madam Gu. He had not agreed to this woman entering the Gu family back then. If it was not for the fact that she gave birth to a brilliant son, she would have been swept out of the door. She was behaving exactly like an uncultured shrew, “Everything will go according to Xianglin’s arrangement. Those of the fairer sex shouldn’t interfere.”

　　When she heard what General Gu said, Second Madam gu unwillingly shut her mouth even though she was seething inside. That hateful and heartless animal, what right did she have to attend her precious son’s welcoming banquet?

　　Of course, Second Madam Gu never really thought of how they had bullied Gu Ruoyun in the past. They did not do it too much nor too overtly when Gu Shengxiao was around but as soon as Gu Shengxiao left, the bullying escalated and ended with them beating an innocent Gu Ruoyun to death over an outsider.

　　So, what kind of loving feelings did they want Gu Ruoyun to have towards them?

　　Nonetheless, the kind of people like Second Madam Gu never realizes their own mistakes and would always blame others for everything. As she saw it, she was not in the wrong and those who were wrong were always other people!

　　…

　　“Xiao Yun.”

　　Gu Ruoyun had just entered the manor when a red, phantom-like shadow flew swiftly towards her. Silver hair so sinful yet so alluring complimented the exceptional features of his face. The man’s expression was sad and he looked pitifully at Gu Ruoyun.

　　“Xiao Yun, they bullied me when you weren’t around.”

　　“Bullied you? Who?” Gu Ruoyun furrowed her brows and asked.

　　“Zuo Shangchen.” Qianbei Ye answered bitterly, “He said that men and women should maintain some distance and that I shouldn’t follow you from day till night. He even said something about boys and girls beginning to sit separately when they turn seven years of age. He also that you would be hurt if I’m together with you all the time. Xiao Yun, can I really not be together with you?”

　　Looking at the man’s piteous expression, Gu Ruoyun felt a tug at her heartstrings. From her perspective, Qianbei Ye was a vulnerable child and his innocent heart needed to be protected properly. That was why she felt a little indignant towards Zuo Shangchen.

　　Gu Ruoyun who was deeply engrossed in thinking about how to teach Zuo Shangchen a lesson that she did not notice the gleam that flashed through the man’s eyes. It was gone in an instant.

　　He had no choice, it was the only way to get rid of that clingy demon spawn.

　　If that demon spawn was the type that was cold and contemptuous, he could just beat that demon spawn up. But it looks like the relationship between that demon spawn and Xiao Yun was pretty good. If he were to beat Zuo Shangchen up, Xiao Yun would definitely get mad at him.

　　During this time, Shopkeeper Zhao quickly entered and said, “My Lady, the Fourth Prince requests an audience.”

　　Hearing this, Gu Ruoyun instantly responded: “No!”

　　Shopkeeper Zhao was taken aback, the young lady and the Fourth Prince had always maintained a good relationship but now she did not want to see him?

　　“Xiao Yun’er, did I provoked you? Your anger towards me is so intense? You’re not even allowing me to enter the door.”
