She has come a long way. Orphaned, born a weakling, and being the infamous good-for-nothing of Azure Dragon Country. Gu Ruoyun was the shame of the proud Gu household. Falsely accused of a crime she did not commit, she was betrayed by her family and beaten to death by her own grandfather. But life took a fateful twist on that very day — she was revived. Newly awakened, she is now the Master of an ancient treasure that resides within her body. Precious cultivation pills, treasures beyond her wildest imagination and spiritual beasts, all within her grasp... She is the apple of the eye of all under the heavens, including that of a mysterious, handsome man. Now she only has one goal — to conquer the world.
"Gu Ruoyun, you really are here after all!"
When the Second Madam caught a glimpse of Gu Ruoyun coming for not far away, her face instantaneously darkened a few shades. It was so obvious that she saw the arrival of her uncle and aunt and yet, how dare this abhorrent girl not come to greet them immediately? Who the hell taught her such ill manners?
"Hurmph! How dare you? How rude of you to refuse to see your own aunt and uncle! Don't you have even the slightest sense of manners? Not only that, you actually let the people of Hundred Herb Hall throw your uncle out of the door? It is such a disgrace to our Gu family to even have such an ungrateful daughter in the house!"
With the corner of her mouth lifted up slightly in a scornful manner, she folded her arms across her chest. Her gaze scanned through each of them from the corner of her eyes.
"I am no longer the member of the Gu family, so please, you guys are no longer my uncle or my aunt anymore. I only have one relative now, and that is Gu Shengxiao. Any other person is nothing but a mere stranger who is totally unrelated to me now."
The look on the Second Madam's face became gloomy with dismal. Just the thought of how Second Master Gu got thrown out under the watchful eyes of the crowd was extremely embarrassing and unbearable. They were obviously digging their own graves now, all thanks to this bloody bitch!
"Hurmph! If I'd known this beforehand, I should have strangled you alive the moment your dad passed away before you could make any mischief. Isn't it sufficient to deface my daughter alone? And now you are trying to hurt my husband instead? Why don't you just go to hell?! You might as well just go ahead and die and save all of us from your nuisance."
If it wasn't for her, Panpan would not have been beaten by her own dad. Since she was little, her daughter was fully doted on and nobody had dared to lay a finger on her before. It was because of this that the Second Madam loathed Gu Ruoyun to her guts.
If it was possible, she really would love to give this little bitch a good slap across the face.
"Shut your mouth up!"
Second Master Gu shouted out suddenly in a very loud voice, "I have told you to stay at home but you wouldn't listen, remember?! What do you think would happen if your words somehow made its way to the Young Master Dongfang? Do you really want the whole Gu family to be annihilated?"
Still feeling resentful, Second Madam scoffed, "I really don't understand how that shameless bitch, Liu Yu, could become the adopted sister of the Young Master Dongfang. God must have been really blind then! On top of that, we have to help to find this useless piece of crap right now. Bringing back this crap to the Dongfang family would just waste their food resources. I doubt that the almighty Dongfang family would actually accept her anyway."
Liu Yu, with her real name being Dongfang Yu, had changed her name in order to cut ties and break away with the Dongfang family. Nevertheless, as she was an adopted sister of the Young Master Dongfang, the Second Madam did not really think highly of her. It was not like she was the real daughter of the Dongfang family anyway. Without the help of the Dongfang family, what could Dongfang Shaoze really do with just the sole power of his? Surely, he would not dare to create a disturbance in the Imperial City?
All the same, Second Madam had forgotten that as an offspring of the aristocratic Dongfang family, how was it possible for Dongfang Shaoze's strength to be nothing more than ordinary? She was merely blinded by jealousy.
In actual fact, before getting married to Second Master Gu, the Second Madam was actually infatuated with Gu Tian. Who would not fall in love with that godly handsome, charming and brilliant man? Be that as it may, Gu Tian had never been interested in pursuing any love affair. He was still single in his age of late twenties.
In order to get closer to the person that she loved, Second Madam had decided to get married to the Second Master Gu. At first, she thought that this fine specimen of a man would never have a parallel match, but how wrong she turned out to be. That day, when Gu Tian brought that woman back to the Gu family, she was startled with bewilderment.
Who would have ever thought that there would be such a beautiful and elegant woman in this world? When the two of them were together, they really looked like a perfect couple.
Generally speaking, looking at such a perfect couple, people would usually give their blessing but it was not at all in the case of the Second Madam. In her opinion, she had this mindset that Gu Tian should not be married or even fall in love with any other woman at all in his entire life. Her jealousy had given birth to hatred and prompted her to allow Second Master Gu to make that pact with that man, for the sake of eliminating these two people...
