Gu Ruoyun slowly lowered her hand as she stared coldly at Lin Yang's ugly expression .
"I've not given you permission to die . You're certainly not allowed to die!"
Under most circumstances, Gu Ruoyun would never have used such methods to deal with Lin Yang . However, Lin Yang had helped Lin Xue to frame and seduce her father . This violated her taboo which was why she had reacted so cruelly .
Nothing was more important to her than her parents! Even though Lin Xue's efforts had been unsuccessful, she would not tolerate it either .
"Father, send someone to watch over them later in case they try to commit suicide . "
Gu Ruoyun did not look at Lin Yang anymore as she turned around to face Grand Lord Hong Lian .
"Don't worry, Yun'er, leave this matter to me . "
Grand Lord Hong Lian's gaze was tender when he looked at Gu Ruoyun . When he turned to address the Lin siblings, his gaze turned cold and grim again . "I had given you a warning but, unfortunately, you've willfully acted on your own so don't blame me for being cruel . You, take these two away . "
"Yes, Grand Lord!"
The guard who was standing next to Grand Lord Hong Lian stepped forward and escorted the now demented-looking Lin siblings away .
After they had left, the study reverted back to silence . Only the torn and tattered clothes scattered around remained as proof of everything they had experienced . . .
"Yun'er, it's late now, you should go and get some rest . "
Grand Lord Hong Lian looked at Gu Ruoyun and his grim features turned gentle with smiles, "I will deal with everything after this . "
Gu Ruoyun nodded and did not add anything else as she left the study with Qianbei Ye . After they had left, Grand Lord Hong Lian held Dongfang Yu in his embrace as they also headed towards their bedchamber .
. . .
Gu Ruoyun stayed for almost half a month in the Red Lotus Territory . During this half a month, Zuo Shangchen had sent over the last medicinal ingredient she needed to lift the puppet's body from her brother . He, however, had not appeared . This gave Gu Ruoyun a very bad feeling and she felt uneasy .
Furthermore, Grand Lord Hong Lian had insisted on handing over all of Red Lotus Territory to Gu Ruoyun but she had rejected him . In the end, Dongfang Yu suggested making Gu Ruoyun the Young Grand Lord instead .
Gu Ruoyun did not object to this .
On this day, Dongfang Yu and Gu Ruoyun were in the middle of a conversation when a guard rushed in . His face was full of anxiety as he exclaimed, "Madam, we have news of the Young Master . "
"What?"
Dongfang Yu instantly rose to her feet as her beautiful face lit up with excitement, "Qing Lin, you say you have news of Shengxiao?"
"That's right . " The guard named Qing Lin nodded . "Our men have been scouting around the area surrounding Wen family home . We've just received definitive news that the Young Master has been spotted in the Wen family home! However, the Young Master was not looking too good . . . "
"I understand, Qing Lin . You may take your leave . "
Dongfang Yu took a deep breath to suppress the eagerness in her heart . She then turned to look at Gu Ruoyun and said, "Yun'er, we must go to the Wen family home this instance!"
"Agreed . " Gu Ruoyun nodded . "Mother, father is not in the residence now . Why don't you wait for him to return and then come to the Wen family home together? Xiao Ye and I will make our way there first . "
"Take good care of yourself . "
Both their hearts were filled with excitement over this news . Though Dongfang Yu wants to follow Gu Ruoyun to the Wen family home immediately, she understood that she has to wait for Grand Lord Hong Lian to return first .
