After Chen Yun finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
Ti and again, they accused the Gu Family of various shortcomings in front of Gu Hengyuan. In recent years, the Gu Family repeatedly hurt He Zhilan, yet no one expected that the Gu Family could sacrifice the entire family’s honor and future for her.
Everyone understood that with so centennial families, once a certain point is reached, the family mbers regard reputation and prospects as more important than life itself.
In the past, like the Gu Family, it would always consider its reputation and face when doing things.
But now, this very Gu Family ultimately gave up the honor they valued most for their deceased daughter.
The Gu Family fell apart overnight only because they believed letting Xing Ye beco the victor was the only thing they could do for their deceased daughter. Perhaps the Gu Family harbored guilt and a desire to make ands.
However, if they didn’t truly love this daughter, if they didn’t truly love her to their very bones, how could they bear to abandon their status and position—sothing for which many had laid down their lives?
After a long pause, Bian Mufan sighed, "With Gu Hengyuan’s situation, the lightest sentence would be decades of imprisonnt."
"The Shen Family has truly fallen this ti. The Shen Family always thought they could climb up by relying on the Lan Family and the Gu Family. This was certainly a good thod, but the Shen Family and the Lan Family were too united. The two families combined could easily leave the Shen Family with no place to die, just like this ti." Chen Yun laughed, "Gu Hengyuan is truly ruthless, pinning Luo Jinsheng’s matters on the Shen Family and almost treating it like treason. Accusing the Shen Family of colluding with foreign countries secretly, using positions to plant spies in the military, and leaking important dostic military secrets; just that alone, not to ntion the huge amount of embezzled funds, ans the Shen Family shouldn’t even think about recovering."
The capital was in turmoil, and those yet to be called for questioning and investigation felt like lambs awaiting slaughter, everyone on edge.
The tranquil little village was no longer peaceful. Such a significant event as the election of national leaders was bound to be known even in the small village, as people would always leave the village from ti to ti.
In the Niu Family, Lin Deng was already familiar with the path. Ever since he knew He Zhilan was in the village, he would visit whenever he had spare ti, frequently bringing He Zhilan so supplents and occasionally helping her communicate with He Teng.
"Actually, Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu really love you dearly. After you disappeared, Grandma Gu couldn’t sleep at night. Later, she had to use sleeping pills sent by Aunt Gu from abroad, like water. Back then, Aunt Gu also felt trendously guilty about your disappearance and went nearly mad at one point, to the extent that she couldn’t recognize anyone."
Lin Deng stole glances at He Zhilan, "The reason Aunt Gu adopted Gu En is because at first Aunt Gu saw Gu En as you. Back then, Aunt Gu was very sick and wanted to take all girls your age ho claiming they were you. Later, Aunt Gu saw a psychologist, took dication, and underwent long-term treatnt to gradually return to normal."
Seeing He Zhilan remain silent, Lin Deng continued, "This ti, Uncle Gu almost sacrificed the entire Gu Family. After all, it’s because of you. They feel guilty towards you and want to do sothing for you. But they just don’t know what they can do."
"I didn’t ask them to do these things. If they did it, should I accept it?" He Zhilan bit her lip tightly, her every word trembling uncontrollably as she spoke, her eyes reddened, and tears stread down her face.
