Gu Sang grew increasingly frightened. She took a deep breath, looked at the guards, and asked them, "Who sent you? Let me tell you, you are not allowed to harm Li Rong, or I will absolutely not let you off the hook."
Hearing Gu Sang's words, the guard found it amusing and couldn't help but chuckle. Looking at Gu Sang's serious expression, he laughed and said, "Miss Gu, you've misunderstood. We're here to protect you, how could we possibly harm you! We don't have the guts!"
"Is that so? Since you don't have the guts, then why are you guarding the entrance to the Gu family compound? And why do you have this thing? Did someone instruct you to do this, or are you not even members of the Gu family?" Gu Sang was puzzled by the guards' nonchalant attitude.
The guards' reactions aroused Gu Sang's suspicion. She doubted that these guards were actually from the Gu family. If they were, why would they be so fearless towards these maids?
When the maid heard Gu Sang ask this question, she was immediately frightened. She saw that the guards seemed to have noticed their guilty conscience and immediately lowered their heads, not daring to look at Gu Sang. Her body trembled slightly.
Seeing the maids' expressions, Gu Sang knew that they must have been threatened or controlled by someone, which explained their fear. However, even so, she felt no fear herself. She believed that even if Li Rong knew her identity, he had no right to arrest her, after all, she was still the second young lady of the Gu family.
Moreover, although these maids were sent by Li Rong to protect her, she couldn't completely trust them. Who knew if they would harm her?
Moreover, Gu Sang now knows that Li Rong has designs on her, and since they were sent by Li Rong, she cannot easily trust their words. She must be careful and absolutely cannot act rashly. What if these guards discover that they are pretending to be from the Gu family and then make her leave the Gu family? Wouldn't she be doomed?
Thinking of this, Gu Sang's resolve grew stronger. She absolutely could not act rashly, because her life was now in her own hands. If anything went wrong, she wouldn't have enough lives to survive. Right now, the most important thing was to stabilize them and make them lower their guard.
Thinking of this, Gu Sang pretended to be indifferent, snorted coldly, glanced at the guards, and said, "You'd better not lie to me, or none of you will live."
Hearing Gu Sang say this, the guards couldn't help but shudder. They knew in their hearts that Gu Sang was definitely not as gentle and charming as she appeared on the surface. On the contrary, she could be described as an extremely powerful woman. She always had something to hide in her heart, and her eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, which made them feel a sense of fear and surprise.
After exchanging glances, the guards saw a hint of fear in each other's eyes. Looking at Gu Sang, they couldn't help but sigh inwardly. It seemed that Gu Sang was not so easy to fool.
Although these guards were terrified, Li Rong had instructed them to obey Gu Sang's orders. Despite their fear, they had no choice but to stand there and wait for Gu Sang's instructions.
Gu Sang saw all these people's attitudes and felt that her guess was correct; these people were indeed up to no good.
Thinking of this, Gu Sang looked at the guards and asked them, "I'll ask you one more time, who sent you? I'm telling you, if you don't tell me, I'll make sure you regret it."
Hearing Gu Sang's words, the maid turned pale with fright. She looked at Gu Sang and quickly waved her hand, saying, "Miss Gu, please don't do anything rash. We are all from the Gu family. We are just following orders. If you continue to ask questions, we cannot guarantee that we won't harm you."
Upon hearing the guards' words, Gu Sang immediately realized that they didn't believe what she had just said. Moreover, they were just following orders, and no matter what she said, it wouldn't matter. As long as she didn't move, they wouldn't dare to attack her. Furthermore, their target was definitely Li Rong. As long as they didn't attack her, even if Li Rong discovered her, he wouldn't have any evidence to prove her identity. After all, she wasn't personally escorted into the Prince's mansion by Li Rong.
Thinking of this, Gu Sang became even more certain of her guess: these guards must have been sent by Li Rong. If that were the case, then Li Rong would definitely be working against her.
Thinking of this, Gu Sang's expression grew increasingly unpleasant. She didn't want to waste any more words with these maids, and besides, they were all guards of the Gu family. If she really attacked them, it would be bad, as it would alert them. She decided to ignore them for the time being and observe how they would react.
Thinking of this, Gu Sang said to the guards, "Since you don't want to tell me, I won't force you. However, I still hope you can follow Li Rong's words. I need to rest now. Please leave for a moment. I'm a little tired."
When the guards heard Gu Sang tell them to leave, they were all stunned for a moment. However, they all knew in their hearts that Gu Sang would not lay a hand on them, and they did not want to cause any more trouble, so they walked into the house.
Seeing that the guards had gone far away, Gu Sang walked into the room. She thought that Li Rong definitely didn't want her to go to Li Rong, so she could only hold back for the time being and not make any rash moves. As long as Li Rong was not eliminated, she would not leave here easily.
After returning to her boudoir, Gu Sang lay down on the bed to sleep. She felt extremely tired, and before she knew it, a triumphant smile appeared on her lips.
Gu Sang had no dreams all night.
Early the next morning, Li Rong led a group of guards toward Gu Sang's room. When Li Rong kicked open the door, they all saw Gu Sang lying asleep on the bed. A hint of surprise flashed in their eyes. After exchanging a glance, they went in and went to the bedside.
Li Rong saw that Gu Sang was sleeping so soundly.
