Gu Shengyin felt a surge of disgust welling up inside her: This Yun Chuqing had no idea that she was indeed the You Lan from before. She bore no grudges against her, yet simply because of her appearance, Yun Chuqing harbored such vile intentions towards her!
What she told her husband was, "My dear, I see that woman alone in the deep mountains, presumably without family. Why don’t we take her back to our residence and make her a Lady Ru? I would quite like to have a beautiful sister."
The man was foolish too, developing a lust for Gu Shengyin. Upon hearing his wife’s suggestion, he actually considered it seriously.
But what was Yun Chuqing really thinking? She wanted to slash that seductive face, line by line, and then send her to a despicable brothel to be trampled upon by thousands.
Exactly like in the original plot.
Soon, the man put on a facade of righteousness and said to Gu Shengyin, "Miss, this valley is deserted and may be very dangerous, would you be willing to out of here?"
Gu Shengyin furrowed her brows, "I don’t want to, you should leave immediately!"
The man displayed a demeanor of ’I’m only thinking of your best interests’ and said, "How can you say that, miss? My wife and I are only trying to be kind. These deep mountains and forests are extremely unsafe..."
Gu Shengyin said coldly, "Stop talking nonsense, I won’t go with you."
Yun Chuqing chimed in, "Then don’t blame us for being impolite!"
She signaled, and the coachman and guards from the caravan quietly surrounded Gu Shengyin.
Gu Shengyin sneered in her heart; she was waiting for them to make a move.
Outwardly, she frowned, "What do you think you’re doing?"
Yun Chuqing said with a smile, "Please come with us, miss."
The sika deer under Gu Shengyin began kicking its hooves restlessly, clearly disturbed by the approaching humans.
Gu Shengyin bent down and gently patted it to soothe its nerves.
She reached into her sleeves, pulled out a small bamboo flute, and began to play it at her lips.
The melodious sound of the flute echoed throughout the entire valley.
Yu Wenrui, who was outside, heard the sound of the flute as well. There was someone in the valley!
This realization excited him for some reason, prompting him to hurry towards the valley.
On this side, Yun Chuqing, hearing Gu Shengyin playing the flute, didn’t know why, but suddenly panicked.
She said loudly, "Move quickly, grab her and let’s leave right away; this place is a bit sinister."
The coachman, an old servant of the Yun Family, was eager to show off his skills in front of his mistress and thus was the quickest to run.
Just as his hand was about to reach Gu Shengyin, a terrifying roar erupted, causing everyone to shudder.
Immediately after, the coachman felt a tremendous force hit his back, flinging him harshly to the side.
"Pfft!" He couldn’t hold back a mouthful of blood.
Everyone was horrified to see the huge creature that had appeared in front of Gu Shengyin.
"How... how could there be a tiger!" exclaimed Yun Chuqing’s husband in panic.
The tiger stood by Gu Shengyin’s side, and the sika deer, seeing it, was not afraid either.
"This woman... she, she can’t be human, right?" said Yun Chuqing’s husband with a trembling voice. How could a normal person be with a tiger?
Yun Chuqing was a bit scared but still asserted, "Don’t be afraid, we have more people, and we’re armed. It’s just a tiger, we’re not scared of it!"
No sooner had she finished speaking when a gust of wind blew past and her face stung, as something warm trickled down.
