At this moment, no one suspected that the Gu family had taken someone elses corpse to impersonate Gu Tian. After all, Gu Tian was the Gu familys own blood and flesh. No matter how shameless Old Man Gu could get, he definitely wouldnt let someone unrelated enter the Gu familys ancestral hall! That would be the greatest moral outrage!
Even Elder Yu believed it completely
In the entire Hundred Herb Hall, only Gu Ruoyuns expression remained calm from start to finish. She didnt say anything, and others couldnt tell what she was thinking.
Yuner, Ive already fulfilled your request. What about our promise back then
Old Man Gu looked at Gu Ruoyun nervously.
The Plum Faction had not participated in the auction this time because he had promised them that he could get a Beauty Rejuvenation Pill from Hundred Herb Hall. If he couldnt finish this task, then you could imagine the rage from the Plum Faction.
Go back, Gu Ruoyun raised her head and said expressionlessly, Ill give you the pill once Ive confirmed the identities of these two people.
Hearing this, Old Man Gu burst into agitated rage: Gu Ruoyun, what do you mean by this? Are you saying that I found two random corpses to deceive you? No matter what, Gu Tian was my son and I loved him dearly! How could I let someone else impersonate him and be buried with my Gu family ancestors? This is practically an insult to my Gu family!
The old man spoke so righteously, as if Gu Ruoyun was some criminal who had committed an unforgivable crime that everyone should punish.
However, Gu Ruoyun smiled.
For some reason, upon seeing her smile, the old mans heart suddenly trembled for a bit. A sense of unease started rising in his heart.
Then can I ask you, only bones were left of these two people. How were you able to recognise them as my parents? Or perhaps I should ask, since youve already known where their corpses were, did you purposely leave them out to rot without letting them enter the ancestral graves? Why did you do such a thing?
The old man choked up and his face turned red. He opened his mouth, but couldnt say a single word to refute her.
Upon hearing Gu Ruoyuns questions, Elder Yu abruptly came to his senses. He stared unwaveringly at the two corpses before him before shouting suddenly: No! Theyre not Gu Tian and his wife! Gu Tian injured his bones before and it had never recovered. Although these two corpses have already rotted, its clear that there arent any traces of injuries on the bones. Im sure that hes not Gu Tian!
Since one of the corpses wasnt Gu Tian, then that proved that the other one wasnt Dongfang Yu
What? Elder Yu, what do you mean by that? These two corpses arent Gu Tian and his wife?
Ive really underestimated how shameless Old Man Gu can get. For the sake of getting his way, he can even find someone else to impersonate his own son. Is this something a human would do?
After the people who hadnt yet left Hundred Herb Hall heard Elder Yus words, they tossed disdainful looks at Elder Yu.
Old Man Gu was filled with rage upon seeing those looks. He gritted his teeth fiercely and said: What do you mean by this? Gu Ruoyun, are you purposely playing me?
He had already seen that Gu Ruoyun had no intention of giving him the pill at all. Everything had been for the sake of playing him!
Playing you? Gu Ruoyun raised her eyebrows and smiled, Did you think I have the free time to do that? I simply wanted to force you to hand over my parents remains so I could let them rest in peace. I didnt think that you would actually find two corpses to deceive me. Are you sure that I was playing you?
Thats right, she had indeed played a trick on him, but she wasnt so stupid as to admit it.
Haha! Old Man Gu laughed crazily and gritted his teeth. He said viciously, Gu Ruoyun, Ive really underestimated you! You even managed to seduce Hundred Herb Halls Elder Yu. However, for the sake of your own desires, you seduced an old man and borrowed his authority to swagger about. Dont you think that its too shameful? How could Gu Tian have borne something as shameless as you! If I had known earlier that you would turn out this way, I would have killed you when you were little! Its better than having you be such an outrage now! Youre shaming my Gu family!
