Looking at the gentle smile on the man's face, the second madam felt a chill run down her spine. Panic flashed across her swollen face as she said anxiously: "I don't want to die, I beg you to let me go. I really don't want to die."
"If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?"
Dongfang Shaoze stared coldly at Second Madam Gu Ruoyun, whose face had turned pale from fear. He sighed softly, "You have reaped what you sowed. After the Gu Family had committed the mistake of that day, they were destined not to have a good end!"
… …
No one knew what had happened to the Gu family, and no one had seen anyone enter the Gu family. However, on that day, the second madam's sorrowful wails could be heard from within the Gu family, as if she had been cut into pieces. Following that, the entire Gu family was set ablaze. This fire burned for an entire day and night, and the insufferably arrogant Gu family disappeared from this mainland, just like that …
At this moment, in Hundred Herb Hall, Gu Ruoyun was listening to Elder Yu's report on the recent happenings. Suddenly, a light laugh sounded from outside the door, followed by a man's voice that was as gentle as water, interrupting her thoughts.
"Yun 'er, it's been three years since we last met. I didn't think that you've grown so much, and done so many impressive things."
Hearing this voice that she hadn't heard for three years, Gu Ruoyun was slightly startled. Before she could speak, Elder Yu, who was standing beside her, welcomed him with a face full of surprise: "Young Master, you're here?"
Dongfang Shaoze nodded lightly, his gaze falling on Gu Ruoyun's face. That jade-like handsome face had a gentle smile on it.
She didn't know why, but every time she saw Dongfang Shaoze, Gu Ruoyun felt a sense of closeness in her heart. That closeness did not originate from the warm smile on the man's face, but … a feeling that came from the heart.
Furthermore, if it wasn't for Dongfang Shaoze, she wouldn't have been able to become the master of Hundred Herb Hall, nor would she have grown so quickly.
"You're back?"
Gu Ruoyun raised an eyebrow, her eyes smiling as she spoke.
Dongfang Shaoze smiled lightly, but his eyes were serious. He muttered to himself for a long time, then said: "Yun 'er, there's something I didn't want to tell you, and I didn't want to drag you into this dispute. But now, I have no choice but to tell you …"
"Young Master?" Elder Yu paused, "Did something happen to the Dongfang family?"
With how protective the Young Master was towards the Eldest Miss, he would never tell her about these things unless it was a critical moment. Otherwise, it would bring unnecessary trouble to the Young Miss.
Thus, when he heard Dongfang Shaoze's words, Elder Yu knew that something had happened to the Dongfang family that even he couldn't solve.
Gu Ruoyun did not think much of it. She smiled and said, "Young Master, if you have something to say, just say it. I'm all ears."
Looking at the young girl's delicate face, Dongfang Shaoze's eyes slowly blurred, "So similar, your face is very similar to your parents'. Actually, Yun 'er, logically speaking, you should really call me uncle! Your mother, Liu Yu, is actually Dongfang Yu. She's the eldest daughter of the Dongfang Clan, and also the elder sister I've admired since I was young. "
What kind of genius was Dongfang Yu? Even if she were to be compared to Gu Tian, she would not pale in the slightest. However, because she was the Eldest Lady of the Dongfang Family, she had been hidden from the world since she was young. Aside from those who were on the same level of power, who else would know that she was such a stunning beauty?
