"You are my wife, so I should treat you well."

He paused, then said sincerely, "I was too ashamed to see you a while ago. Please forgive me and don't take it to heart."

If he hadn't avoided her, Wen Shuyi wouldn't have rashly gone to confront Sister Wanwan.

Wen Shuyi's eyes flickered. "You don't blame me for having ulterior motives, assassinating the Empress, and framing the Gu family?"

Gu Ziyu paused for a moment, then shook her head firmly: "I believe you are not that kind of person."

Wen Shuyi lowered her head, tears streaming down her face again.

My heart ached.

Gu Ziyu is so great.

He was able to stand up for his wife and children in critical moments and dared to withstand the pressure exerted by his elders.

Even when she made a mistake and caused trouble, he didn't blame her too much; instead, he took the responsibility upon himself.

As a husband, he is truly impeccable.

He simply didn't love her.

She sincerely repented to Gu Ziyu.

“I didn’t mean it, I was just standing up for Maggie. I think the Queen is too jealous and domineering, and can’t tolerate Maggie and the child in her womb.”

"I want Maggie to give me a chance."

"I never imagined that Maggie would assassinate the Queen..."

Gu Ziyu paused.

His aura gradually cooled, and he could no longer maintain his gentle demeanor; his voice involuntarily rose.

"Why should she, Maggie, need you to stand up for her?"

"Do you even know who Maggie is? She got pregnant out of wedlock and deliberately seduced a married man, and you're still standing up for her?!"

Wen Shuyi was stunned and couldn't help but ask:

"And how much better is Empress Su? Didn't she also deliberately seduce a married man?"
