Gu Yundong frowned. Looking at his cold expression, a thought suddenly flashed across her mind.
A moment later, she suddenly froze and looked at Shao Qingyuan.
“Are you talking about…”
She paused and lowered her voice. “The Tao family?”
Shao Qingyuan nodded. “Yes, it’s the Tao family, a big brewer in Fengkai County.”
Gu Yundong recalled the disgusted expression he had when they first met Master Tao in the restaurant and the cold expression he had when he met Tao Feng at the bodyguard agency.
At that time, she found it strange. Shao Qingyuan should not have any interaction with the Tao family at all. The Tao family did not seem to know him. Why did his emotions change when he saw the Tao family?
So that was how it was. It was because he was a member of the Tao family.
Shao Qingyuan said, “I went to ask an old man from the Tao family in the past. Twenty years ago, the Tao family did have a child. When he was born, Mrs. Tao died in childbirth. The eldest young master of the Tao family, Tao Feng, later fell seriously ill. Then, there was a huge problem with the Tao family’s business. Not long after, the third young master of the Tao family died.”
At that time, the Tao family already had two young masters. Tao Feng was the eldest young master and was born by Mrs. Tao. The one who made the bet with Liu Wei was the second young master, by the name of Tao Xing. He was the son of a concubine and was deeply loved by Master Tao. After Mrs. Tao passed away, this concubine was made a wife in a few years.
“The people of the Tao family all feel that it’s a pity. Few people know what this premature death is about. I found the old man who served Old Madam Tao and asked him. Back then, that child was handed over to a stableman of the Tao family.”
As for the Li family’s old man, he had been a stableman in the Tao Mansion for two years.
Lady Tao, who had died in childbirth, was surnamed Shao.
When the Tao family’s business was in trouble, there was indeed an expert who came to investigate the feng shui of the Tao family.
In the past ten years, Old Master Li had visited the Tao family twice.
Gu Yundong fell silent when she heard that, but she thought fiercely in her heart. When the Liu family and the Tao family made a bet, she was simply too benevolent to the Tao family. She should have been heavy-handed at that time.
What kind of people were they? They listened to a so-called expert and sent their own flesh and blood away to a stableman. Moreover, they wanted someone to torture him for the rest of his life. They were simply beasts. They were inhuman and unbearable as parents.
She was so angry that her entire body was trembling. She recalled the first time she saw Shao Qingyuan. No wonder his eyes were indifferent back then, as if he didn’t care about anything.
Shao Qingyuan seemed to sense her emotional fluctuations. He squeezed her hand slightly and said, “I’m fine now.”
With Yundong, those hardships were nothing.
Gu Yundong’s heart tightened. “I’ll avenge you later. By the way, who was the one who came to Father and spouted nonsense to sow discord?”
She suddenly looked at Gu Dajiang. Gu Dajiang was vexed by the scene of the two of them holding hands. When he heard her question, he frowned slightly.
Shao Qingyuan didn’t think too much about it. “It should be Eldest Li.”
He had warned them in the past. The Li family was afraid of his reckless appearance. Therefore, although they would gossip outside for the past few years, they did not dare to really come to him. Everyone lived in peace for a few years.
Now that they saw that he was leading a good life and that he was rich and was about to get married and have children, they couldn’t stand it anymore and started to ruin it.
They probably heard that Gu Dajiang was making things difficult for him and felt that they finally had a chance to trip him up.
