Lan Yunwei remained silent, with her head lowered, staring at the ground, never responding.
A breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
Four breaths.
Five breaths.
...
She kept silent like this, without saying a word.
Zhu Qilue also did not disturb her.
Because he knew that making this decision was very difficult since it involved her family. If Zhu Ruoling had done something so heinous, the first response would definitely be denial; he wouldn't believe what others said.
Therefore.
He could understand Lan Yunwei's conflicted feelings at the moment.
However.
These things will eventually come to light, will be discovered by others. Or maybe Lan Zhengqing will confess himself. By then, it will be too late to change anything.
If such a day truly comes, that would be the time for true regret; regret for not intervening sooner, regret for causing harm to her family due to favoritism.
Thus, no matter how difficult the decision is, a judgment must be made.
