However, he never thought that Gu Ruoyun would be the physician that the Second Lady had brought back to save the Master. This way, her identity as a spy would no longer exist.
Murong Yan looked a little embarrassed. Honestly speaking, when she had invited Gu Ruoyun to the Murong family home as a guest, she had not expected her true identity! The reason why she had stopped searching for medicinal herbs was because she wanted to be fully prepared before entering the forest.
However, she never thought that Gu Ruoyun was a physician!
"Grandfather."
Murong Rou'er returned to her senses from her initial shock. She took a deep breath and walked towards Master Murong. Her gentle and beautiful features blossomed into a dazzling smile like fireworks as she spoke in a gentle and meek voice, "It's great that you're alright. I've been very worried about you during this period of time."
"Hmph!"
Master Murong does not have a good temper when it comes to Murong Rou'er. He scoffed coldly and swept his icy gaze across her face.
"Murong Rou'er, don't think that I'm unaware of what you've done! It's just that I don't have any proof! That's why I haven't punished you yet you've gone further and further! You're simply pushing your luck! "
Whoosh!
Murong Rou'er's face instantly turned pale. She bit her lip and stared at Master Murong with an aggrieved look, "Grandfather, what are you talking about? Rou'er doesn't understand."
"No one knows better than you what I'm talking about!" Master Murong looked at Murong Rou'er and asked, "Now, let me ask you one more time. What have you been doing all these years?"
Murong Rou'er trembled and gently lowered her eyelids, "I've been working hard for the Murong family business. I've been fighting for the Murong family. Shouldn't you know this better than anyone, Grandfather?"
"Sigh."
Master Murong sighed and his face filled with disappointment, "Murong Rou'er, you may be a bastard but you're still my granddaughter. Otherwise, why do you think Yan'er's mother would have taken you in? I begged her because I pitied you. But now that I think about it, the ones who are truly pitiful are Yan 'er and her mother. They were toyed with by you. I gave you one last chance just now, but you didn't grasp it. Don't blame me for being heartless! Men, take Murong Rou'er down! "
Since Master Lan was able to become the Master of the household, how could he possibly be deceived like Murong Yan?
Ever since the accidental deaths of his son and daughter-in-law, he had begun to suspect Murong Rou'er. However, Murong Rou'er was only a few years old at the time. Furthermore, there was no evidence so he gave up!
However, all these years, he had been searching in secret. He never thought that Murong Rou'er, who has always been more vigilant, would discover his secret movements. For this, she did not hesitate to poison him!
Master Murong's heart ached as he gasped. Only now did he understand the meaning of 'nurturing a tiger only to invite calamity'. He had ended up harming Yan'er's parents! Even if he used his entire life, he would not be able to make up for this mistake.
"Grandpa, I didn't. I really didn't do anything wrong!"
Murong Rou'er stumbled back in fear when she saw the crowd charging towards her. She then ran towards Elder Er and cried out pitifully, "Elder Er, I've really been framed. Save me!"
Elder Er furrowed his brows and wanted to defend Murong Rou'er but he kept his mouth shut in the end.
"Eldest Lady, the Master is not an unreasonable person. He will investigate the truth. If you've really done nothing wrong, he will certainly clear your name. You don't have to worry about this. Besides, the Master has no evidence so he won't punish you as he pleases. He will only lock you up for a while."
