Chapter 1287: Chapter 1291: Are You Happy?

“A wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a mistress, and a mistress is not as good as the unattainable,” Gu Junzhu mocked with a lift of her lip corner: “Greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant, longing for more even after securing a rich territory… Look, there are so many phrases describing the baseness of human nature… Everyone has their flaws; it’s just that some people have stronger self-control and suppress them, while others have weaker self-control, and with a push from others, they fall into depravity. Clearly, your father is the latter.”

At the beginning, Yun Shengxun was truly excellent when he and her second older sister fell in love.

Tall and handsome, sunny and cheerful, overflowing with talent, he seemed to have no faults at all.

Though the relationship between Yun Shengxun’s parents was not harmonious, they both doted on him, and the family situation was not too complicated.

Senior Master Yun was also a distinguished figure in L country, apart from his indiscrete private life, he was admired for his conduct and mannerisms.

The Yun Family’s doorplate might not measure up to the Gu Family’s, but Yun Shengxun had the advantage of being university classmates with his second older sister.

The two of them started dating in their first year and maintained a stable relationship.

Yun Shengxun truly loved his second older sister, loving her like a naive young man, one who would recklessly do anything for love.

His father was very attentive to his children’s affairs.

After learning about Yun Shengxun’s relationship with his second older sister, he even had someone investigate the Yun Family.

Although displeased with Yun Shengxun’s father’s chaotic private life, he was very satisfied with Yun Shengxun himself.

Back then, Yun Shengxun was a bit like a big silly fellow, with eyes only for his second older sister, following her lead and obeying her every command.

His second older sister also liked Yun Shengxun very much.

So, after they graduated from university, they swiftly entered the palace of marriage.

For the initial decade or so, his sister lived very happily.

For over ten years of marriage, they still acted like they were in passionate love, sugary sweet and affectionate every day; Yun Shengxun treated his second older sister like a prized treasure, his gaze burning with passion each time he saw her, as if it could scald someone.

But, as the sea changes the field, time changes, and so do people.

He used to be away from home for months on missions, a common occurrence, and he didn’t know exactly when Yun Shengxun had turned into this state.

It’s like many people before they become officials, thinking that once they were in office, they would be incorruptible and advocate for the people, flexing their muscles to achieve great things.

At first, they did act in that way.

However, as time went on, temptations grew, and they gradually lost their grip, forgetting their original ideals and aspirations, tossing the vows of integrity to the back of their minds, and becoming corrupt officials and embezzlers.

Yun Shengxun’s death was well-deserved.

It’s just that his second older sister was pitiable.

Her situation was different from Qiao Yi’s.

Qiao Yi was blind from the start.

Yun Shengxun, at the beginning, indeed was a good man.

It’s just that later on, he changed.

Such an unforeseen event… can only sigh at her bad fortune.

He shook his head, sighed, and threw away the jumble of thoughts in his mind, squeezed Yun Jue’s nape, “Alright, stop thinking about it, from today onwards, forget everything from the past, start anew… from now on, you can live with grandpa and uncle, happy?”

Yun Jue nodded his head.

Gu Junzhu patted his back and stood up, “It’s late, go get some rest, and don’t worry about the antidote, we’ll sort it tomorrow.”

He looked at Qiao Zui: “You take care of Ah Jue.”

Qiao Zui gave him an “OK” gesture.

Gu Junzhu hooked Ye Xingbei’s shoulder, “Let’s go, it’s time to sleep.”
