With tears in her eyes, she pleaded:

"Nephew, could you please show leniency and let Yu'er go this time?"

Gu Hanyuan looked troubled:

"Uncle-Master Min, aren't you putting me in a difficult position?"

Min Rou said sadly:

"But Yu'er is, after all, my son."

Two more tears slid down her face.

Gu Hanyuan said indifferently:

"Shi Zhongyu's deeds are too numerous to recount. If we let him go, what will become of the reputation of the Wudang Sect?"

Min Rou was heartbroken.

But he could only continue to plead:

“I know Yu’er has made mistakes. It’s all because I spoiled and indulged him that he has ended up like this. But he is still young. Please give him another chance, my nephew.”

Gu Hanyuan's eyes were deep and unfathomable.

Changing the subject:

"Uncle Min, if Shi Zhongyu is not punished, how can we give an explanation to the victims?"

These words indeed gave Min Rou hope.

His eyes lit up and he said:

“I can apologize to them and make them compensate.”

Gu Hanyuan said mockingly:

"Can an apology and compensation make up for something like this? Uncle Min is being far too naive."

Min Rou's beautiful eyes were glazed over.

Motherly love prompted her to say:

"But I really can't just watch Yu'er die. I am his mother, can I take the blame?"

....... ........ 0

Gu Hanyuan saw that Min Rou had said, as he had expected, that she would take her own life to atone for her crime.

He chuckled softly, seemingly without a hint of anything else.

"Is Uncle Min really willing to take the blame for Shi Zhongyu?"

Min Rou could tell from Gu Hanyuan's tone that he really meant to let Shi Zhongyu go.

A bright smile, reflecting hope, appeared on her radiant face.

He asked anxiously:

"Nephew, do you have any ideas?"

Gu Hanyuan said quietly:

"Since Uncle Min is willing to take the blame for Shi Zhongyu, how about we settle this score?"

Min Rou had a vague sense of foreboding.

But he could only bite the bullet and ask:

"Nephew, could you explain in more detail?"

Gu Hanyuan said with a mocking and wicked tone:

"Since Shi Zhongyu enjoys ruining people's reputations, how about Uncle Min atones for his sins by clearing his own name?"

Min Rou's pupils dilated violently upon hearing this.

They were shocked by Gu Hanyuan's unexpected statement.

Subconsciously, he rejected it:

"How can this be done!"

Gu Hanyuan spoke as if in a devil's whisper:

“Why not? If Shi Zhongyu is not punished, my conscience will not allow it, and there is no reason to make an exception.”

Min Rou asked incredulously:

"Nephew, you mean...?"

Gu Hanyuan said indifferently:

"With Uncle Min's intelligence, he should be able to understand what I mean, right?"

He suddenly moved closer to Min Rou.

He looked directly into her panicked eyes.

A wicked smile crept across his lips.

Said softly:

"Uncle Min wouldn't want your son to be taken back to Wudang and executed, would he?"

These words shocked Min Rou.

For a moment, a battle raged between heaven and man.

On the one hand, it's out of love for one's son.

On the one hand, it was to preserve her husband's innocence.

This made it difficult for her to make a decision.

Chapter 264: Huang Rong: Could it be that he only sees Min Rou as a substitute for me?

Fourth update

A silence was spreading.

The candles on the table burned continuously.

The flickering light and shadow imprinted Min Rou's conflicted feelings onto the shadows.

Gu Hanyuan leisurely sat back down in his original seat.

He leisurely sipped his tea.

As the cup rotates.

You could vaguely see a subtle smile on his lips.

Gu Hanyuan wasn't in a hurry at all.

He knew that Min Rou would make the choice he wanted.

as predicted.

After much internal struggle, Min Rou finally understood.

Recalling Shi Qing's heartless demeanor during the day.

Shi Qing has always been upright and honest.

Since I said I wouldn't interfere with Shi Zhongyu.

I would absolutely not care whether he lives or dies.

That cold and hard attitude pierced Min Rou's heart, who loved her son dearly.

time flies.

Min Rou's heart gradually tipped towards maternal love.

Her head was bowed low.

He asked with a dejected expression:

"Can you really let Yu'er go?"

Gu Hanyuan smiled with satisfaction.

Drink the tea in the cup.

He smiled gently:

“As long as Uncle Min atones for his sins, I will find an opportunity to secretly release Shi Zhongyu in a few days.”

Min Rou lowered her eyes.

Tears rolled down my cheeks.

A tear fell to the ground, creating a splash of tears.

He muttered to himself sadly:
