Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Shen Lianxue, residing within Gu Chaoyan’s consciousness, addressed Lady You with enthusiasm. She had been plagued by doubts regarding the days when she had refrained from fighting back or, more accurately, when she had chosen to endure silently.
Gu Chaoyan spoke earnestly, defending Shen Lianxue’s stance. Shen Lianxue had been precisely as Lady You had described her—obedient to the Shen Family’s will, believing that compliance would lead to a better life. However, the more she behaved this way, the more the Shen Family took advantage of her, treating her as expendable.
For Shen Lianxue, the consequences of her compliance had been severe.
She met her demise when the Qian Family terminated the engagement.

Gu Chaoyan was on the verge of explaining Lady You’s perspective.
Lady You gazed at Shen Lianxue with a sense of helplessness.
She grasped the reasoning behind it all.
She was well aware of the hardships that Lianxue had endured over the years.
Nevertheless, she lacked any cultivation abilities, and over the years, Lianxue had depleted her own resources. Originally, she had thought she could endure it until Lianxue reached adulthood, believing that those difficult days would eventually pass. After Lianxue married into another family, she would lead a better life than her tin the Shen family. But no one could have foreseen that the Qian Family would abruptly terminate the engagement.
Following the dissolution of the engagement, they had no support within the Shen family.
Lady You feared that if she took this path, the Shen family would struggle to secure a better match for Lianxue.
Her own well-being mattered little to her. She merely hoped to endure the situation and resolve matters with Lian Xue before finding solace.
Lady You’s expression betrayed a hint of pain. In the end, it was her inability to protect Lian Xue, her own daughter, that had condemned her to such a bitter existence.
Gu Chaoyan exchanged a meaningful glance with Lady You.
Seeing Lady You’s self-reproach and suffering, he couldn’t bear to witness her in such anguish.
Lady You possessed a profoundly generous heart, and her actions were indeed motivated by concern for Lian Xue. She worried that her own heartache for

Gu Chaoyan sighed, gently shook her head, and spoke, “Throughout these years, we’ve suffered because we were too soft-hearted. We consistently entrusted our destiny to others. If we hadn’t been so tender-hearted and hadn’t given everything to the Shen Family, they wouldn’t have treated us this way. If we had been more prudent about our future, we wouldn’t be in this predicament.”
“There’s still a long road ahead. We can’t expect Madam to treatkindly. I can only make decisions and plans for myself.”
“Now that my daughter has reached the Martial Master level, I’m confident that with even more effort, I can break through to the Martial Master realm myself. When that tcomes, what can the Shen family do to me?”
“Mother, please wake up. Don’t remain so vulnerable. If this continues, it will lead to our worst possible outcome,” Gu Chaoyan implored earnestly.
Lady You’s eyes welled up with tears as she listened.
Aren’t these the very thoughts Lian Xue had expressed?
She comprehended these notions thoroughly, even pondering them during her sleepless nights. Yet, she had been hesitant to truly confront them. She had been hiding away, reluctant to emerge and confront reality.
However, Lady You nodded with solemn agreement, affirming Gu Chaoyan’s words..
