Chapter 1311

~5 min read 807 words

There was naturally relief.

But there was more helplessness.

She said with annoyance:

"Then what should we do now? Just keep it from Qingqing like this?"

Gu Hanyuan smiled lightly:

"Let's keep it from her for now. It's just that you need to collude with Wen Qian on her side, so as not to let the cat out of the bag."

Wen Yi was greatly ashamed and angry upon hearing this.

She said with angry reproach:

"How am I supposed to say this? And this was provoked by you in the first place; if anyone should go, it should be you."

Gu Hanyuan replied indifferently:

"I have things to deal with today."

Wen Yi asked in a daze:

"What else needs you to do it?"

In her view.

The Five Elders of the Wen Clan were already dead.

The entire Wen residence was Gu Hanyuan's possession.

She didn't know what else could be more important than Wen Qian's side.

Gu Hanyuan sighed:

"He Hongyao."

Wen Yi heard this familiar yet unfamiliar name.

That was her former rival in love.

Even though she had already decided to let go of her longing for Xia Xueyi.

Her feelings towards He Hongyao were still complex.

Gu Hanyuan told Wen Yi the truth about the things between He Hongyao and Xia Xueyi.

That was the truth that Wen Yi knew nothing about.

She finally understood why He Hongyao would have love mixed with hate for Xia Xueyi.

For the sake of Xia Xueyi, whom she fell in love with at first sight, He Hongyao gave up her purity and helped him steal the Three Golden Snake Treasures from the Five Poisons Sect.

As a result, Xia Xueyi never returned.

He Hongyao rescued Xia Xueyi from the Wen residence, only to get an answer that he had never loved her.

How great a blow was this to a woman.

And because the Three Golden Snake Treasures were stolen, He Hongyao was punished by the Five Poisons Sect.

Not only was her appearance ruined, but she was also forced to beg for a living.

The kind-hearted Wen Yi put herself in He Hongyao's situation...

Her heart was filled with sympathy.

Xia Xueyi's image inevitably changed.

When Wen Yi looked at Gu Hanyuan again, her gaze became filled with tenderness.

And she began to agree with his idea.

Rather than hurting others for the sake of so-called exclusivity.

It was better to take responsibility.

Especially since it involved her beloved younger sister and daughter.

This idea intensified in Wen Yi's heart.

Suddenly, her expression shifted.

She said with some hesitation:

"Can you help He Hongyao? Help her escape from the sea of bitterness."

This was a request Wen Yi made out of her personal experience and sympathy.

He Hongyao had already suffered for more than ten years.

Why should she be trapped in the past and unable to be liberated in the future?

Wen Yi's kindness was somewhat beyond Gu Hanyuan's expectations.

But it was precisely this kindness that made him think highly of her.

Just like how he was attracted by Zhong Ling's purity back then, and changed by Huang Rong's tenderness.

His concern for Wen Yi was precisely out of this kindness.

Even if she couldn't help much and was just a pretty vase.

Gu Hanyuan's gaze became a few degrees gentler.

But he teased:

"Doesn't it matter even if she becomes your sister?"

Wen Yi was somewhat surprised but also felt it was a matter of course.

After all, she had already learned about Gu Hanyuan's greed.

It was not surprising that he would have such an idea.

She only hesitated slightly before saying seriously:

"If that can let He Hongyao walk out of the past."

Gu Hanyuan was slightly surprised and smiled with satisfaction upon hearing this.

He said in a tone as if he were acting on an imperial decree to pick up girls:

"Since Madam has given instructions, I will naturally comply."

This remark inevitably drew an eye-roll from Wen Yi.

Subsequently, Wen Yi went to Wen Qian's courtyard.

And Gu Hanyuan also went to find He Hongyao.

He Hongyao had stayed in He Tieshou's room last night.

Therefore, when Gu Hanyuan arrived, the two women were chatting.

He Tieshou persuaded:

"Aunt, with Young Master Gu's help, the sect won't dare to say much. Don't go begging in the future."

He Hongyao had already washed away the dirt from her body last night.

At this moment, she was wearing a clean black long dress.

That slender figure could vaguely show the style of her youth.

Although her appearance still looked ugly.

But her complexion was much better.

He Hongyao was hesitating.

Gu Hanyuan's clear and bright voice sounded outside the door.

"Miss He is right; if the Five Poisons Sect has any objections, they can come find me."
