Inside the hall, it felt as if time stood still. Baili Hongzhuang and the others sat quietly, their minds unable to stop pondering the true situation of Mu Jinse at this moment.
Inside the room, Mu Lingbing explained in detail the various circumstances to Gu Jinghe. Gu Jinghe had always treated her master and her sincerely, so there was no harm in telling her about this matter.
After Gu Jinghe learned about everything, she was stunned.
"Is what you said true?" Gu Jinghe couldn't help but ask again.
Mu Lingbing nodded earnestly, "It's true, all of it.
It's not just my father's words. Yue Siqing herself told me the truth when she imprisoned me all those years ago. She was the one manipulating everything from beginning to end, and my father was only deceived. But he soon realized the truth.
All these years, my father has been searching for our master. He just couldn't find any trace of her."
Gu Jinghe was dumbfounded. The news was too shocking for her to digest at once.
From Mu Jinse's words, she only knew that Situ Yan was a heartless man. Despite being together with her, he suddenly said cruel words and chose to be with Yue Siqing instead. Even when Mu Jinse left, Situ Yan didn't try to stop her.
These past years, whenever Mu Jinse thought about Situ Yan and Yue Siqing standing together, it would cause her unbearable pain, making it hard for her to breathe.
After learning about all this, Gu Jinghe had also paid attention to Situ Yan's situation. She didn't know why Situ Yan didn't end up with Yue Siqing, but if Yue Siqing said the same, then it must be true.
Gu Jinghe finally understood why Mu Lingbing forgave Situ Yan.
After decades, Situ Yan had never given up on Mu Jinse, which proved that he also loved her deeply.
Mu Lingbing didn't love the wrong person, and Situ Yan's feelings for her were genuine.
It was just that he had been blinded at that time, causing them to miss out on so many years.
...
When Gu Jinghe and Mu Lingbing returned to the hall, Gu Jinghe's attitude had clearly improved.
Seeing Gu Jinghe's change in attitude, Baili Hongzhuang and the others felt relieved to some extent.
It seemed that Gu Jinghe also believed everything they said.
Although Gu Jinghe now understood the reasons behind all this, she still couldn't help but have a displeased expression when looking at Situ Yan.
After all, if Situ Yan hadn't made such a foolish mistake back then, it wouldn't have led to so many tragedies.
Situ Yan was aware of this as well.
He never denied his mistakes. He knew he had been terribly wrong in the past.
"Elder Gu, can you tell us about our master's current situation now?" Mu Lingbing asked the question that was on everyone's mind. They had returned this time for the sake of their master.
Upon hearing this, the gazes of Baili Hongzhuang and the others all fell on Gu Jinghe, waiting for her answer.
Gu Jinghe's eyes darkened slightly, and her voice carried a hint of suppression. "Actually, I can't say for sure how she is doing right now."
