“Shut up!”

　　Second Master Gu slapped Gu Panpan’s face with his palm and shouted furiously, “Are you trying to cause more trouble? What kind of people is the Dongfang family? Do you think we can afford to mess with them? You, on the other hand, he came here with an ill intention and you still had to say that kind of things which would bring down the Gu Family even more.”

　　Since she was young, when had Gu Panpan ever been beaten by others? Not to mention that the person who hit her was her own beloved father.

　　“Dear husband, Panpan’s your daughter; how could you do that to her?” The Second Madam Gu lovingly embraced Gu Panpan in her arms, “If he wants to find Gu Ruoyun, why don’t we just give her to him? We don’t need that kind of garbage in our Gu family anyway. If anyone wants her, they can have her.”

　　The Second Master Gu laughed bitterly – how can this issue be so simple? With Gu Ruoyun’s strong-headed personality, how could it be possible for her to obediently go with them to meet Dongfang Shaoze?

　　Moreover, Dongfang Shaoze wanted her unscathed, which means they could not physically make her or else she would complain to him. Wouldn’t that just leave the Gu family with unbearable consequences?

　　Finally, old man Gu came to his senses and ordered, “Someone, go inquire news about Gu Ruoyun!”

　　“Yes, General.”

　　The Gu family was still influential in the Azure Dragon Country and they had many informers. So not long after, the scout who was assigned to find out Gu Ruoyun’s location came back. Besides, he even brought back an announcement with him.

　　“You said Gu Ruoyun had entered the Hundred Herb Hall and never came out?”

　　Old man Gu’s darted his eyes and said, “Although the authority behind the Hundred Herb Hall is powerful, the actual owner is still unknown. However, the Dongfang family mean what they say. For the sake of not transgressing the Dongfang family, I have no choice but to have people to invite Gu Ruoyun back from the Hundred Herb Hall.”

　　“Father, let me go handle this matter.”

　　“Good.”

　　The old man looked at his own son and nodded slightly, “Then you’ll go do that. No matter what, you have to get Gu Ruoyun back!”

　　“Father, grandfather, I would like to go to.”

　　Gu Panpan hastily stepped forth, her eyes flashing with anger.

　　It was all because of that useless Gu Ruoyun; if it was not for her, how would she have been beaten by her father? At times like these, it would be absolutely preposterous that she would still want to return to the Gu household. She would definitely not allow that woman to come back!

　　Obviously, Gu Panpan still thought that Dongfang Shaoze was just someone Gu Ruoyun had found. And her sole purpose was to have her father personally invite her back…

　　“You are not allowed to go!” Old man Gu frowned, “Don’t you think you’ve caused enough trouble? This time, you’re not allowed to go on this operation with your father and you will stay in this house obediently. You’re not allowed to go anywhere!”

　　“Grandfather!” Gu Panpan stomped her foot angrily as she bit her lower lips unwillingly.

　　However, old man Gu did not pay heed to her tantrum and waved his second son off. Then he said, “It’s getting late, you should hurry, in case the Dongfang family comes back to look for trouble.”

　　The father and son of the Gu family’s thinking were simple. No matter what, the Second Master Gu was still Gu Ruoyun’s second uncle. Since he was personally inviting her back, it was accounted that this young girl would run back willingly and gratefully.

　　Yet, it was clear that things would not go the way they had predicted.

　　Now in the Hundred Herb Hall, the Second Master Gu smiled familiarly and said, “Shopkeeper Zhao, why don’t you make an exception and let us meet Gu Ruoyan.”

　　“I’ve already said numerous times, Gu Ruoyun is not in our Hundred Herb Hall. Both of you should kindly return.”
