Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife-Chapter 1120: Grandpa, Where Are You? (2)

"The Gu Family has mobilized all their powers, but they still haven’t found your grandfather and the others. If I’m not mistaken, they must have already left Xuandu City by now."

Indeed! They’ve been gone for two days; even crawling, they could have made it out of Xuandu City by now.

But having left Xuandu City, where could the behind-the-scenes manipulator have taken them?

An Yiqing’s heart shivered and she slowly closed her eyes.

Soon, she opened her eyes again. The previous panic and unease had vanished, and her entire demeanor was like that of a hidden blade in its sheath, ready to strike lethally at any moment!

"Grandpa Gu, I’ve troubled you these past few days."

"What are you talking about, girl? What trouble? It’s what grandpa ought to do. Keep your mind at ease, as long as the Gu..."

Old Master Gu hadn’t finished speaking when Butler Ah Zhong’s anxious voice resounded from outside the door.

"Old Master, trouble has arisen at home!"

Old Master Gu abruptly stood up, his eyes piercing as he looked towards the door.

"What happened? Come in and speak!"

Ah Zhong hurriedly pushed the door open and entered, cold sweat continuously seeping from his forehead. As a person who could sit in the position of the chief butler of the Gu Family, Ah Zhong must have weathered many storms. But now, his fright spoke volumes—that something grave must have indeed occurred!

"Old Master, there’s a crisis at the Gu Family Ancestral Hall!"

At just one sentence from Ah Zhong, Old Master Gu’s complexion underwent a dramatic change, and cold sweat instantly beaded on his forehead!

"Ah Zhong, are you certain?"

"Absolutely certain! Old Master, you must hurry back and see for yourself! If we don’t act swiftly, the entire family’s lives are at stake!"

From Ah Zhong’s words, although An Yiqing didn’t know what exactly had happened to the Gu Family, she was sure it was a significant matter that affected the life and death of the Gu family members.

"Grandpa Gu, please hurry back with Zhong. I’ll handle things here; there won’t be any issues."

Old Master Gu looked at An Yiqing with difficulty, torn between his entire clan and his dearly beloved granddaughter-in-law; it was like choosing between flesh of his palms and the back of his hands, impossible to make a decision.

An Yiqing noticed Old Master Gu’s dilemma and once again urged, "Grandpa Gu, if you don’t return, should anything happen to the Gu house, I will be the eternal sinner. Even if no one else blames me, I won’t stay with Ah Lin anymore. I will find a way for my grandfather’s situation, training with ’Red Thorn’ was not for nothing!"

Having spoken her piece so sincerely, Old Master Gu, even if not wanting to, had no choice but to go back.

"Girl Qing, if anything happens, you must inform Grandpa Gu. Grandpa can handle the matter at the Gu Family Ancestral Hall, but you absolutely can’t shoulder your family’s issues alone!"

An Yiqing nodded her head, watching as Old Master Gu and Butler Ah Zhong left.

After sending off Old Master Gu, An Yiqing stood alone in the living room, a bit lost in thought.

She looked around at the empty room as if only yesterday Old Lady An was still cooking a delicious meal for her in the kitchen, and Old Master An was still playing chess with her father, An Zisheng, on the sofa.

But now, everyone was gone.

While An Yiqing was lost in thought, the villa’s door was suddenly slammed open. The anxious voices of An Zhiyan and An Zhihang came through.

"What happened?! Little sister, where are grandpa and the others?! Have they been found?!"

When An Yiqing received the message, An Zhiyan and An Zhihang were conveniently out. Since they did not carry their cell phones, An Yiqing hurriedly left them a note and rushed back home.

The An Family Brothers dropped everything they were doing and raced back home after learning the news.
