Evil Emperor's Wild Consort - chapter-53

“Yun’er, you…”

Just as Second Master Gu was about to say something more, an angered
shout abruptly sounded: “Who permitted you to disturb my people?
Where’s Shopkeeper Zhao? Come out right now!”

Elder Yu had just been making his usual rounds at Hundred Herb Hall and
he hadn’t expected that he would see Gu Ruoyun surrounded by the Gu
family’s men. The rage in his heart burst out.

The servants at the side trembled as they replied: “Reporting to Elder
Yu, Shopkeeper Zhao… he went out to see a patient.”

“A patient? Hmph! He went out to see a patient at this kind of time? Gu
Ruoyun is now under my Hundred Herb Hall, no one is allowed to disturb
her peace and quiet. Men, come and strip these bastards and throw them
out! If anyone else from the Gu family comes, do the same! If they’re
not afraid of humiliating themselves, then let them come!”

Gu Ruoyun did not allow Elder Yu to reveal that she was now the owner of
Hundred Herb Hall. She didn’t want to show off her identity for now, in
order to fend off the Gu family’s greed. Knowing them, they would
surely try to make use of her identity in some way the moment they found
out.

“Understood.”

The guards following behind Elder Yu had their orders. They quickly
rushed over. stripped the Gu family’s men, and tossed them into the
crowd without giving them the chance to react. It was still fine for
Second Master Gu, but when Second Madam was treated in the same way, she
wanted to die on the spot. The hatred she had towards Gu Ruoyun deepened.

“You slut, just you wait. Wait until my son returns, I’ll let you die
a horrible death! No, not only that, I’ll make you suffer everything
you’ve put me through!”

As if she had detected Second Madam’s resentful gaze, Gu Ruoyun met her
eyes fearlessly. There was no change in her clear pupils, only that faint
smile dancing at the edge of her lips.

At this moment, everyone was pointing and gawking at the completely naked
Gu family party. Even the thick-skinned Second Master Gu was unable to
raise his head after this. The Gu family had been utterly humiliated this
time…

Gu Ruoyun didn’t spare them another glance. She turned and walked into
Hundred Herb Hall. Following her closely was Elder Yu, who walked behind
her reservedly.

“Speak, what happened back there?”

Gu Ruoyun strode into the hall and sat down, before smiling as she looked
at Elder Yu.

It was clear that this fiasco had something to do with Dongfang Shaoze…

“This…” The embarrassed Elder Yu spoke up, “Young Master just
wanted to take a little revenge for Eldest Miss. That Gu family was too
much, so Young Master set them an impossible task to torture them. We
didn’t think that Eldest Miss would meet them at the door. This is all
Shopkeeper Zhao’s fault! Young Master had already ordered that no one
from the Gu family was allowed to meet Eldest Miss. However, he just had
to leave at this time. This old servant will punish him severely when he
returns!”

“There’s no need for punishment,” Gu Ruoyun poured a cup of tea and
took a sip before putting the teacup down, “However, let me know
whenever you do anything else from now on, so that I’m forewarned.”

Elder Yu chuckled, then turned serious all of a sudden: “Oh yes, Eldest
Miss. I’ve already found the people you wanted. This group of people
are all orphans, with no living relatives, but they have quite a bit of
potential. While they won’t become geniuses, with a little training,
they won’t turn out weak.”

“Oh?” Gu Ruoyun raised an eyebrow, “Where are they? Take me to
them.”

“Very well. Please follow me, Eldest Miss.”

Having said so, Elder Yu led the way as Gu Ruoyun followed him out of
Hundred Herb Hall.
