If this had happened before today, Elder Er would have protected Murong Rou'er at all costs.
However, the incident just now had given him a wake-up call...
Even though Murong Rou'er had been protecting Murong Yan all this while, every single word she had said clearly indicated that Murong Yan was the culprit who had framed the Master! Even if Murong Yan had denied it in the end, she still wanted the world to believe that Murong Yan had colluded with outsiders to frame the Master!
Coupled with the Master's words, does this not prove that I've been wrong all this time? Elder Er closed his eyes at the thought of this and his elderly features were filled with sorrow.
He really did not want to believe that Murong Rou'er, whom he had always treated as his own granddaughter, could be such a vicious person...
"Elder Er..." Murong Rou'er slowly let go of Elder Er's hand. Her eyes were filled with tears and she was filled with sorrow and despair, "Elder Er, Rou'er has never done anything wrong. You must believe in Rou'er..."
"What are you all standing around for? Send this woman away! "
Master Murong's face sank as he spoke in a stern voice.
"Yes, Master." Hearing this, two guards stepped forward and grabbed Murong Rou'er's arms. They ignored her tear-stained face and forcefully dragged her out of the rear courtyard.
Murong Rou'er herself probably does not know how the old man, who was supposed to be dead for sure, had managed to escape unscathed. Perhaps she would never find out even in death!
"Lady Gu, thank you. Thank you so much." Murong Yan quickly stepped forward and held Gu Ruoyun's hand as she exclaimed gratefully, "By the way, Murong Rou'er had mentioned that the poison in Grandfather's body would kill him if touched by silver. Why did Grandfather..." "That's only for other people." Gu Ruoyun smiled calmly, "Also, I've heard your entire conversation."
Clearly, Murong Yan's actions did not disappoint her.
If Murong Yan had been threatened by Murong Rou'er and helped her to frame Gu Ruoyun and Ye Nuo, she would have destroyed the Murong family immediately and left in a carefree manner. A treacherous family was not worth her help.
It was a good thing that Murong Yan did not do that!
"Cough cough, Lady Gu, Yan'er, if you have anything to say, you can wait. I have something to announce first." Master Murong coughed drily and interrupted them. He then placed his fist in front of his mouth and spoke with a stern look on his face, "Lady Gu has saved my life. In return, I hereby announce that from now on, the Murong family will only listen to her orders."
This was what he had promised Gu Ruoyun back in the dormitory.
However, as soon as he said that, the crowd instantly exploded.
Even though they were grateful towards Gu Ruoyun for saving their Master's life, that does not mean that the Murong family would have to pledge their loyalty to her from now on!
"Master," Elder Er replied unhappily, "I know that you want to repay Lady Gu for saving your life. As long as she needs something, even if I have to risk my life, I will snatch it for her! But if you want the Murong Clan to swear loyalty to you … This is something that I cannot do. Master, please reconsider. "
"Patriarch, please make a decision." Everyone bowed their heads and cupped their fists.
"That's enough." Master Murong waved his hand and swept his sharp gaze across the crowd, "I've already made my decision. It's useless no matter who tries to change my mind! The Murong family has always been a man of our word. Since we've made a promise, we must do it. Do you want me to become a treacherous villain? "
Hearing this, the crowd whispered into each other's ears and began to discuss spiritedly.
