"Gu Qing, don’t you want me to release Master Gu?" Gu Ruoyun laughed and her smile was full of deceit, "I can do as you’ve begged and release him. However, I hope you won’t regret it… Wei Yiyi, tell Elder Yu to release the old man!"

Upon hearing Gu Ruoyun’s command, Wei Yiyi did not hesitate. She knew that after the old man had returned home, there would be drama...

As for them, they just needed to sit and watch that drama unfold.

…

The Gu family home was in chaos.

The sorry-looking old man has yet to wash up but was interrupted by voices of rage from outside.

"Hey, the cowardly Gu family! Are you all trying to be tortoises and hiding in your shells? Call Gu Qing out, he was the criminal responsible for murdering Gu Tian! Gu Tian has helped me before, I’m here to demand justice!"

"A hero like Gu Tian dying is a loss to the people of Azure Dragon Country and even the whole mainland! The one who had caused this kind of loss was Gu Qing, that mongrel! He’s a criminal of Azure Dragon Country! If Gu Tian was here, who else would have dared to invade Azure Dragon Country? Would there even be war?"

Ever since Gu Qing had retrieved Master Gu from Gu Ruoyun, all that had happened at the courtyard spread like wildfire. Some of those who had been on good terms with Gu Tian immediately came over under the instructions of the Hundred Herb Hall.

It was obvious that these people still believed in Gu Ruoyun.

With her power, she could deal with the Gu family anytime. Plus, based on her previous behavior, she was not a reasonable person! If she wanted someone dead, no matter who you were, she would kill you immediately. Thus, with her behavior, it would not be wronging the Gu family.

Plus, the puny Gu family was not worth her effort.

Master Gu was stunned, he had left the Hundred Herb Hall and hurried straight back, not aware of the discussion in the capital. However, after hearing the rumors circulating outside, he angrily slapped Gu Qing and shouted in rage, "Gu Qing, were you the one responsible for the death of Tian’er?"

Of course, Master Gu was not someone who placed great importance on relationships, otherwise, he would not have used a stranger’s skeleton and pretended that it had belonged to Gu Tian.

It was only because, if Gu Tian had not died, he would still be the Master Gu who was praised by the masses. How could the Gu family even end up in such a state?

"Father, I was wronged." Gu Qing’s face was pale and he spoke wretchedly, "Elder brother’s death has nothing to do with me. It was Gu Ruoyun, she’s making things up. Father, it is not like you do not know what sort of person that she is and what she is capable of."

The other people believed in Gu Ruoyun firstly because she had a personality of repaying any debts of kindness or vengeance. Secondly, it was because she was Gu Tian’s daughter. However, Master Gu knew how deceitful and cunning she can be. She had tricked the Gu family once so it was not far out of reasoning that she may be trying to frame Qing’er.

"Father, Second Master, please go rescue Panpan, Panpan has been captured!"

At this moment, a fat, middle-aged woman cried and ran up to them, clutching Gu Qing by his sleeve. She screamed, "It’s all because of you, you b*stard! If not for you, the news about us being involved in Gu Tian’s death would not have spread! Those who had good relations with Gu TIan have captured Panpan. If something were to happen to our daughter, I will never forgive you!"

Gu Qing, who had been relieved for a moment, was stunned when he heard Second Madam Gu’s words. His face changed and his teeth chattered, he really wanted to slap her to death.
