Chapter 194 A mess

At this moment, her mind was like a tangled mess, with all kinds of thoughts intertwined with each other.

She thought about it again and again in her mind, and those once forgotten memories kept coming back to her mind like a tide.

Every time a picture flashed by, her heart felt like it was being hit hard.

She thought of her family, the relatives who had given her infinite warmth and love, and their voices and smiles appeared so clearly before her eyes.

But now, they finally left her because of the huge disaster they suffered.

She actually forgot about them all. How unforgivable it was.

When she thought about the fact that she hadn't even seen their bodies, her heart felt like it was being torn apart and the pain was unbearable.

In that era when feudal ethics prevailed, burying loved ones in peace was a very important expression of filial piety.

How could she just forget her family in a foreign land while she herself was enjoying a seemingly wonderful life here?

Finally, He Yue raised her head and looked at Gu Wenzhi as if she had made up her mind.

Her eyes were filled with pain, guilt and determination.

She said slowly: "Azhi, I'm sorry, I... I remember everything. My family died because of me, but I forgot about them. I didn't even see their bodies. I have to go back to Yudu to find them and take them back to Donghe Village for burial."

Judging from the social moral concepts at that time, emphasizing family and filial piety was the mainstream idea of ​​society.

If a person fails to take good care of his family, he will be regarded as immoral and unfilial.

He Yue knew this very well, so even though she had deep feelings for Gu Wenzhi, she felt that she had to make such a choice in the face of family responsibilities and filial piety.

After hearing what He Yue said, Gu Wenzhi felt lost and shocked, but his feelings for He Yue made him unwilling to give up easily.

There was a glint of determination in his eyes, and he said without giving up: "You remember everything, that's good, really."

"I know how important your family is to you. Blood is thicker than water, and it's a bond that can never be severed."

His voice trembled slightly, but was filled with determination. "We can hold off on getting married for now. After all, this is the most important thing for you right now."

"I can accompany you to find your family, no matter how far the journey is, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles we may encounter."

"Whether we're crossing mountains or traversing desolate deserts, I will always be by your side."

Gu Wenzhi became more and more excited as he spoke. He seemed to have seen the scene of them embarking on a search journey together. "When we find your family, we will bury them together."

"Let them rest in peace. This is what I owe to your family."

"Then, we'll get married in front of them. I think your family in heaven would also want to see you happy."

"This is not only a testimony to our love, but also a comfort to your family."

Gu Wenzhi's idea reflects a pure and deep love.

In the feudal era, although marriages were mostly influenced by many factors such as family interests, there were also people like Gu Wenzhi who were willing to break through secular concepts for their loved ones.

He didn't care whether the wedding would be held on time, or the dangers and difficulties he might face in searching for He Yue's family. He just wanted to be with He Yue, respect her wishes and support her.

He Yue gently took away Gu Wenzhi's hand that was tightly grasping hers, the movement was slow and firm.

She looked up at Gu Wenzhi, her eyes filled with complex emotions, including guilt, helplessness, and a hint of confusion.

"My heart is in turmoil right now, like a tangled mess, with all sorts of thoughts tangled in my mind."

"All those forgotten memories came flooding back all at once, along with our relationship and our upcoming wedding. It was almost suffocating me."

She took a deep breath, as if to give herself courage, and continued, "Let's all calm down for a moment! Your Majesty, Your Highness, I will take my leave."

Although He Yue's voice was very soft, it was exceptionally clear in the silent and somewhat depressing atmosphere. Every word she spoke was like a drop of cold rain, hitting everyone's heart drop by drop.

After saying this, He Yue quickly turned and left. Her steps were hurried and messy, as if she was running away from something terrible.

The hem of her skirt danced quickly with her steps, like a butterfly struggling in the wind.

Although He Yue's way of saying goodbye was a bit hasty, it was reasonable given her extremely excited and complicated emotions.

As a commoner girl, it was not easy for He Yue to maintain basic etiquette and ask to leave when facing His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

He Yue turned around and left resolutely, her departing figure revealing a sense of stubbornness and helplessness.

Gu Wenzhi's gaze followed her figure closely, his eyes full of anxiety and reluctance. His heart felt empty, as if it had been taken away by He Yue.

There was only one thought in his mind, that is, he couldn't let He Yue leave like this. He wanted to rush up, wanted to hold her, wanted her not to leave his side.

So, Gu Wenzhi raised his leg without hesitation and prepared to chase after him.

However, just as he took the first step, Gu Wenbo quickly reached out and grabbed his hand.

Gu Wenbo's eyes showed the dignity of an older brother, as well as understanding and care for his younger brother.

He held Gu Wenzhi's hand tightly and said in a steady and low voice: "Fourth brother, let Ah Yue calm down first! You should not push her too hard at this time."

Gu Wenbo's move was very wise. In this situation, He Yue was in great emotional turmoil. She had just been hit by memories. The family tragedy and the guilt towards her family made her heart extremely confused.

If Gu Wenzhi forcibly caught up with her at this moment and continued to force her to give an answer or change her decision, it would likely increase He Yue's psychological burden and might even make her feel resistant to Gu Wenzhi.

Just like a tightened spring, the harder you pull it, the greater the rebound force will be.

Gu Mingbai sighed softly, his worldly-wise eyes revealing a profound understanding of the world. Then, he slowly said, "Your elder brother is right. Don't be too impatient, child."

Gu Mingbai's voice is low and magnetic, like an elder admonishing his juniors, and every word carries a weight that cannot be ignored.

Gu Mingbai continued, "You have to know that Ah Yue's current situation is very special."

"She had just suffered a devastating blow. All those previously forgotten memories of her family's tragedy suddenly came flooding back, drowning her like a surging tide."
