Chapter 411: Chapter 421 Youyou Captured

Elsewhere, Gu Youyou was taken to an unfamiliar room.

The room had an ancient elegance, and all the furnishings were of high quality. The only detractor was that it seemed too dark due to the doors and windows being closed.

Her hands were tied with ropes, and her mouth was stuffed with cloth, leaving her only the use of her eyes to glare at the two people who had carried her here.

Performing such a deed of snatching someone on the streets surely indicated guilt, and those two didn’t dare to meet Gu Youyou’s gaze, shifting their attention toward the door instead.

"The young lady should be arriving soon, right?"

The other one replied, "Should be soon."

As their gaze returned to Gu Youyou, one of them sighed and said, "Don’t glare at us like that, we don’t want to do such shameful things either. But if we don’t, others will be sent to do it, and they’ll beat us up afterward. We are forced into this. If the young lady does something to you and you end up as a wronged spirit, you have to recognize your real enemy and not seek revenge on the wrong person."

Wronged spirit my ass, Gu Youyou so wanted to curse, but her mouth was gagged.

After this remark from him, the other person was startled and said, "The young lady wouldn’t really kill Doctor Gu, would she?"

The man realized this issue too and exclaimed in shock, "No way, right?"

"Why not? What if she does?"

"Oh no, that would be the end of us. The Marquess is upright and just, and the entire street has witnessed this. He will definitely have to kill us to answer for the life taken."

"Yeah, why is our fate so bitter..."

Gu Youyou remained still, watching these two unfortunate house servants.

"We have to..." Huddled in a corner, the two servants whispered their plot. Gu Youyou sighed with relief upon hearing this.

They loosened the ropes on Gu Youyou’s hands, slipped a knot into her grasp, and whispered, "Doctor Gu, when the opportunity arises, give this a pull and the rope will come undone. You’ve got to be smart, and make sure never to let the young lady kill you. Try to stall for time. Once we leave, we’ll go find help."

Gu Youyou’s expression softened, and she nodded at the two men.

Soon after, the sound of creaking was heard as the door was pushed open from outside, and Yue Ruxue, holding a whip, walked in against the backlight from the door.

Seeing Gu Youyou in such a sorry state, she couldn’t help but burst into loud laughter.

"Gu Youyou, you’ve finally fallen into my hands. You have your day too, hahaha..."

This little wretch, at the age of willful folly, Gu Youyou thought to herself: It was just bad luck.

"Pull that cloth out of her mouth. I want to hear her begging for mercy," Yue Ruxue commanded fiercely.

The house servants removed the cloth from Gu Youyou’s mouth and stepped back.

The sight of Yue Ruxue’s crazed demeanor made them uneasy; if something significant were to happen, the young lady might at most get punished, but it would be a disaster for them both.

One of them, bolder than the other, said, "Young lady, Doctor Gu has no power to truss a chicken, she definitely can’t stand against you... Maybe we can go now?"

"Cowards!" Yue Ruxue scolded with disdain, "Useless, be gone!"

The two men, as if granted an amnesty, hurried out and closed the door behind them.

Only Gu Youyou and Yue Ruxue were left in the room, with Yue Ruxue moving closer while glaring at Gu Youyou with hatred.

Gu Youyou slightly curled her lips upward and whispered, "I wonder what I’ve done to offend the second young lady to deserve being bagged in broad daylight on the street?"

"Hmph, where have you offended me?" Yue Ruxue stared at Gu Youyou with a bloodthirsty look in her eyes, laughing hysterically, "Your very existence is an offense to me. You’re just a country girl; killing you is as simple as crushing an ant."
