Chapter 1238 A Double Loss (1)
Gu Qingyao was sure that the Huo family would not miss a chance like this one, so she was not in a hurry at all.
After she brought Mo Yang back, she kept sitting next to Mo Beihan.
Meanwhile, Huo Tianning ran all over looking for Gu Qingyao but did not even catch a glimpse of her. He had no choice but to return. The moment he entered the hall, he saw Gu Qingyao sitting next to Mo Beihan.
He frowned. “When did she come back?”
Huo Tianxiang had been keeping an eye on her and said coldly, “Long ago. After that, she has just been sitting next to Mo Beihan. This can’t go on! We have to lure her away. Have you told the crown prince what to say?”
Huo Tianning laughed coldly and replied, “Yes. The boy is sure to blurt it out. Then Gu Qingyao will never be able to clear her name!”
Huo Tianxiang nodded. “Good. Hurry up and think of a way to lure Gu Qingyao aside. There are so many people here today and practically all the noble families in the capital are present. We’ll never have a better chance!”
Huo Tianning was also growing anxious. “But… how are we going to lure her aside?”
The two of them discussed strategies, and they found many ways to try to make Gu Qingyao leave her seat. But Gu Qingyao refused to budge, and the two of them were frantic.
The banquet was ending, and the bride and bridegroom had finished their toasts. Gu Qingyao saw that the time was right and got ready to move.

“Has she been caught?” she asked Mo Beihan.
“Yes, she can be brought over anytime. Qing Lin will coordinate it with you.”
Gu Qingyao nodded. There were many people present, but the wedding was nearing the end. Some were slowly starting to leave.
The Huo brothers grew more and more frantic.
If they missed this opportunity, it would be extremely difficult to find another occasion like that.
Just as they were panicking, Gu Qingyao finally moved. This time, she did not follow Mo Beihan, nor did she bring her child. She left her seat by herself.
Huo Tianxiang and Huo Tianning’s eyes brightened.
Once again, Gu Qingyao walked towards the toilets, and Huo Tianning hurried over.
Sawa
As Gu Qingyao walked, she was aware that someone was following her. There were few people near the toilets. She did not go in but instead turned down an empty corridor. There were a few storage rooms here, and usually, no one went there.
Huo Tianning was delighted to see Gu Qingyao in a place like that. He had not expected things to be so simple.
Just as Gu Qingyao almost reached the storage room, he took out a handkerchief that was folded and ready. Then he rushed over and pounced on Gu Qingyao, pressing it to her mouth so that she could not make a sound. Then he violently dragged Gu Qingyao towards the storage room.
Women are naturally not as strong as men. Huo Tianning thought that it would be easy to deal with a pampered woman like Gu Qingyao.
He used force with those young girls overseas before. He knew that to a man, a woman’s strength was nothing.
He successfully dragged Gu Qingyao into the storage room. He was afraid that she would scream, so he raised his hand to knock her unconscious. But just as he raised his hand…
A silver needle flashed in Gu Qingyao’s hand as she jabbed him with it.
Huo Tianning paused. Before he fainted, Gu Qingyao stuffed a pill in his mouth. Then she dusted off her hands and walked out.
In the room, Huo Tianning felt weak and collapsed.
