Mission 9

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.

Such a situation could not be allowed to persist.

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.
