“Alright, since Uncle Yun wants to know about this, I’ll tell him about it.” Gu Wu nodded.
“My master has an illegitimate brother. Because of some interests, he did not want my master to have any descendants. He once set a trap to persecute my lady... It was for this reason that Miss ended up in your Yun family.”
"After finding Miss, Master was worried that if her half-brother found out about her existence, it would put Miss in danger. That's why he sent us to protect her."
"Is your master's brother very powerful?" Yun Dazheng asked Gu Wu.
"It's alright." Gu Wu nodded, then added, "Before, the master didn't compete with him, so his current status is temporarily above the master's. The master and the old man have some... conflicts, and with his own strength alone, he can't completely contend with the master's half-brother, so..."
"Don't worry too much, it's just to be on the safe side."
"Actually, it's because Xichuan is too remote, and it happens to be the old master's territory. That half-brother took advantage of us a few years ago, and now his power in Xichuan is stronger than our master's. That's why our master has to be on guard. If Miss is willing to go back, our protection will be even stronger..."
"Going back to be used as target practice?" Yun Dazheng's face was as black as charcoal as he looked at Gu Wu and said angrily.
“I think I understand now. My Duo’er could have grown up happily and carefree. Even if this old body of mine is no longer useful, at least I can ensure she has enough to eat and wear. With Leopard and the county magistrate protecting her, there's no way anyone in Qingping County would dare to mess with her.”
"But now, with two more biological parents, it's said that there are two more people to love them, but in reality, it brings trouble and danger..."
"My little Duo'er, what did she do to deserve this?"
"She's just a child, who does she bother? She's only eight or nine years old, and you have to live in constant fear and anxiety every day... What kind of parents are these? Talking about loving their daughter? That's nonsense! If they truly loved their daughter, would they bring danger here? It's utterly absurd!"
Although Yun Dazheng didn't say everything aloud, it was clearly written on his face, and Gu Wu understood it at a glance.
However... this was within his expectations, so although he felt somewhat embarrassed for his master, he did not feel ashamed or angry.
"Uncle Yun, please calm down. My master was overjoyed when he first heard the news about Miss, and he didn't think too much about it..."
"We were sent here to remedy the situation."
"Don't worry, every one of us is willing to risk our lives to protect Miss. Before we all die, no one can harm a single hair on Miss's head."
Yun Dazheng's face was very ugly, and he immediately said, "Pah, pah, pah, what do you mean by dead and alive? Can't you just remember that those people will never be able to harm my Duo'er?"
Gu Wu nodded quickly and said, "Uncle Yun, this is naturally what we hope for as well."
"However, Uncle Yun, since you've brought this up, there's something I really need to make clear to you. Actually, our young lady should return to the main family for her safety. If you..."
"Of course, I know that you truly love Miss, Uncle Yun. You really... could try to persuade her to return to the main family openly and honestly, so that she can be safer."
