Chapter 1169

Wen Yi was still struggling with her thoughts alone in the room.

Gu Hanyuan, however, was chatting idly with a joyful Wen Qingqing.

Wen Qingqing asked with a coquettish smile:

"Did Brother Gu rest well last night?"

Gu Hanyuan heard this and looked at the radiant Wen Qingqing beside him.

His gaze instantly became playful.

He smiled, appearing calm on the surface:

"Your family's hospitality was excellent; naturally, I rested quite well last night."

Yet in his heart, he was secretly thinking:

"I must also thank your mother for taking such good care of me."

Wen Qingqing vaguely felt that Gu Hanyuan's words were a bit strange.

Unfortunately, she did not know the true situation.

She simply assumed Gu Hanyuan was being polite for her sake.

Gu Hanyuan asked, feigning indifference:

"Qingqing, where are your grandfathers?"

Wen Qingqing did not expect Gu Hanyuan to ask about the Five Elders of the Wen family.

However, she did not hide it.

She said, looking slightly puzzled:

"I don't know either; they were nowhere to be seen early this morning."

Her expression suddenly shifted.

"Could it be?"

Wen Qingqing suddenly thought of a possibility.

She had encountered situations before where the Five Elders of the Wen family suddenly disappeared.

And such situations definitely meant they had gone out the night before to engage in banditry.

Although Wen Qingqing was also greedy for wealth,

she cared more about Gu Hanyuan's opinion of her now.

For a moment, her expression looked rather unpleasant.

Gu Hanyuan saw this and asked curiously:

"Could it be what?"

He was indeed a bit puzzled.

Logically, the normal progression last night should have been that while Gu Hanyuan was detoxifying Wen Yi,

the Five Elders of the Wen family would have rushed in to catch the two of them in the act,

and then taken the opportunity to manipulate Gu Hanyuan.

Currently, the Wen Fu still had guests like Lady Hu and others staying temporarily.

As long as the commotion was big enough,

they wouldn't have to worry about Gu Hanyuan killing them to silence them.

After all, he couldn't just kill Lady Hu and the others too, right?

However, he waited and waited but they never appeared.

So he had accepted Wen Yi first.
