บท 227: Poisoning

Wu Zhen approached Gu Dai with a troubled look and said, "Miss, I tried to persuade Miss Gu Zhi to leave, but she wouldn't, and Miss Gu Yin is also with her. I couldn't bring myself to speak too harshly."

Gu Dai nodded and responded, "Uncle Wu, you can go about your business; leave this to me."

Wu Zhen was reluctant to leave, considering Gu Zhi harbored ill intentions toward the young miss. He worried that bringing Gu Yin along was part of a scheme to harm Gu Dai, perhaps even to drug her.

Understanding what Wu Zhen was about to caution, Gu Dai cut him off, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Seeing the resolve in Gu Dai's eyes, Wu Zhen had no choice but to leave.

Gu Zhi's face twisted in displeasure. She hadn't expected to be ignored by Gu Dai, who instead whispered something to old man Wu Zhen.

When Gu Dai's gaze finally fell on her, Gu Zhi hurriedly mustered a smile and softly greeted, "Daidai."
