"Of course, the main purpose is not to seek justice, but to establish prestige in front of everyone and tell the Anxi people that no provocation will be tolerated on her side."
As Wen Yi was saying these things, Gu Huaixu had already taken the opportunity to hug her.
He squinted, inhaling the scent emanating from Wen Yi.
"Aren't you angry?" Gu Huaixu suddenly asked.
"What are you angry about?"
"Just as you guessed, I had you deal with Linna, drawing the war to you. Shouldn't you have been angry and questioning me long ago about why I used you? Why are you only saying this now?"
According to Gu Huaixu, given Wen Yi's intelligence and keen insight, she should have known about this matter before going to the Zhan family.
But if the atmosphere hadn't been so tense today, Wen Yi wouldn't have brought this up.
“But I’m not angry at all.” Wen Yi said honestly, “From the beginning, we made it clear that we are a cooperative couple. It’s mutually beneficial. You need me to step forward and start a conflict, and you’re plotting in the dark, so I’ll step forward. That’s my value to you.”
Wenyi had thought a lot about it before, and realized that there was really no equal exchange between her and Master Gu of Yutingyuan.
If you really think about it, she benefits more from Master Gu.
But now, after analyzing the situation, Wen Yi understands her true significance to Master Gu.
"You should be glad," Wen Yi said, pushing Gu Huaixu away as they looked at each other.
"Thankful?" Gu Huaixu asked, puzzled.
"You should be glad that Wen Ge refused to marry you back then, forcing me to marry you instead."
Wen Yi said this with a smile.
The pain of the past has not healed to this day; he can only find humor in the suffering and laugh it off by bringing it up to mock others.
Gu Huaixu raised an eyebrow. "Oh? What do you mean?"
“If it were Wen Ge who married into the family, she might not have the brains to cooperate with you, and she might even mess up many things later on.”
“Your Wen family treasures Wen Ge. Your parents believed that Wen Ge was exceptionally intelligent and a once-in-a-century talent. How come you have been labeled as mentally challenged?”
"Not only Wen Ge, but also Wen Muqianzhou, both of them have been praised too much and lost their brains."
Gu Huaixu burst into laughter.
He's growing to really like Wen Yi's mouth more and more.
Especially when criticizing the Wen family, his comments are direct and sharp.
“Even if in the end you don’t marry in place of her and Wen Ge is sent to the Imperial Garden, do you know what will happen?” Gu Huaixu suddenly stared at Wen Yi and asked.
"What's up?"
"Yu Ting Yuan will make sure Wen Ge goes back the way she came. And they will make it clear to the Wen family that Yu Ting Yuan wants Wen Yi, not Wen Ge."
Wen stopped for a moment.
She thought that what Master Gu said at the Wen family was just something he said on purpose to save face for her.
Gu Huaixu continued, "Even if the Imperial Garden has a bad reputation, there are countless women who want to marry into it. If I really want a smart wife, I have many options and don't need to ask the Wen family for this favor."
"To be precise, when the Wen family got into trouble back then, to me they were just a small family in Haicheng who wanted to climb the social ladder by making a few bucks. They were gone, so be it. They could just go back to their little town."
But have you ever thought about why I chose to help the Wen family?
Master Gu suddenly turned the question to Wen Yi.
Wen Yi looked surprised and didn't know how to answer.
After a long pause, he pointed uncertainly to himself and silently mouthed a single word: "Me?"
"Yes. I've had my eye on you from the very beginning. But it's a bit troublesome to get you to obediently marry into the Imperial Garden, so let the Wen family benefit first and be indebted to me. When the time is right, I'll naturally have the Wen family hand you over."
"How old was I back then..."
"She's not that old, she's already a young girl."
"Beast!"
"Back then, Wen Ge was pampered and had money to play bumper cars. You didn't have any to play, so you used Wen Ge's snacks to coax younger kids to bump into Wen Ge, which made Wen Ge lose her temper and not want to play anymore. Then you could ride the remaining cars."
Wen thought about these things seriously, and it really didn't seem plausible.
Gu Huaixu reached out and flicked Wen Yi's nose. "I knew from that time on that all the intelligence in the Wen family was in you. Everyone else was either blind or stupid, especially Wen Ge, who was being praised to death without realizing it and would never amount to anything."
So from the very beginning, I had my eye on you and reserved you for myself.
Gu Huaixu looked at Wen Yi with a firm expression and said.
These words suddenly triggered a certain thread in Wen Yi's heart, and looking into Master Gu's eyes, she almost fell deeply in love with him.
While she still retained a sliver of reason, Wen Yi hurriedly pushed Gu Huaixu away and blurted out, "Since you've already reserved me, why did you marry the other two wives, and why did they all die tragically?"
"There's no other way. If we don't do this, you won't be able to stay safely in the Imperial Garden."
"Why?" Wen Yi blurted out.
Gu Huaixu did not answer directly, but said, "Besides, those two so-called wives already had health problems. One had a terminal illness, and the other suffered from paranoia due to brain cancer. They were both dying soon, and when they died, the blame was placed on me."
"Hehe, what a coincidence."
Gu Huaixu reached out and patted Wen Yi's head, "You have to believe what I said, sister..."
I almost blurted it out.
But Gu Huaixu quickly changed the subject, saying, "You should believe your husband."
Wen Yi chuckled twice, then pushed Gu Huaixu aside and walked towards the banquet.
Wen Yi walked through the crowd to the restroom on the other side, where she washed her face with cold water to clear her head.
Only then did he manage to slightly calm his racing heartbeat.
She started acting strangely after Master Gu said that if she hadn't been sent away as a substitute bride, and instead Wen Ge had been sent over, then Wen Ge would have been sent back.
She was in a very bad mood tonight.
But it was precisely because of his words that Wen Yi felt that her excellence was being seen and that she could be chosen by others.
Just suddenly...
She seemed to have been healed.
This feeling terrified Wen Yi. She wanted to escape because she didn't want to be healed like this.
Who doesn't want to be healed?
Ke Wenyi had mixed feelings. On one hand, she wanted to experience this sense of healing, but on the other hand, she felt that it was wrong, a betrayal, and unacceptable to express these emotions to anyone other than Gu Huaixu.
Torn between wanting to succumb to depravity and being morally condemned, Wen Yi is in a state of great torment.
She snapped out of her daze, looked up at herself in the mirror again, and a bitter smile appeared on her lips.
...
balcony.
After Wen Yi left, Gu Huaixu stayed on the balcony, looking at the moonlight at the top.
He removed the mask that was almost falling off his face.
The mirror inside the glass reflects Gu Huaixu's face.
He often wore a mask, but rarely had fake scars pasted underneath.
Wen was just one step away from being there.
Just one step away from lifting the mask, and we'll know the secret hidden beneath!
