For several days, Shangguan Wan Ning did not see her father.
Sun Jinyao told her that the poison in Mu Jingrui's body had been cured, which made her feel relieved. From then on, she just wanted to find a way to meet Mu Jingrui and explain the misunderstanding clearly.
"Eldest Miss, Second Miss is back."
Lutong brought some pastries to Shangguan Wanning and placed them within reach of her.
Shangguan Wan Ning did not even raise her head and continued to study the medical books.
She doesn't want to pay attention to people she hates.
"Sister, you are so serious. What are you looking at?"
The more she didn't want to see her, the more the other party came closer to her.
This made Shangguan Wan Ning's mood even worse.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao came to her, glanced down at the medical book, and said with a half-smile: "If I were a sister, I would read more of "The Legend of Martyrs" or "Female Virtue"."
"Second Miss, you..."
Everyone could hear the ridicule in Shangguan Xiaoxiao's words. Lu Tong wanted to defend Shangguan Wan Ning, but Shangguan Wan Ning stopped her with a gesture.
"My sister is coming back today to remind me what books I should read, right?"
Shangguan Xiaoxiao sat down opposite Shangguan Wanning, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and laughed softly: "Of course not. I was thinking that my sister would stay at home and not know what was happening outside, so it would be very boring.
So, come back and chat with you."
"Really? What do you want to talk about?" Shangguan Wanning put down the medical book and looked at Shangguan Xiaoxiao.
"Let's chat casually. For example, what do people in the capital think of you now, sister?" Shangguan Xiaoxiao's eyes were filled with a hint of sarcasm, "I clearly didn't marry the second prince, but I had a private meeting with him in the White Horse Temple in broad daylight. Sister.
I'm afraid I've forgotten that the second prince is my sister's husband."
Shangguan Wan Ning actually knew how embarrassing her current situation was, she just tried her best to avoid thinking about it.
Now, Shangguan Xiaoxiao saw that her self-deception was torn apart.
"You didn't want it yourself at first, and now you come to snatch it from me." Shangguan Xiaoxiao leaned forward and stared at Shangguan Wanning with scarlet eyes, "Sister, what do you want?"
Shangguan Wan Ning was speechless and didn't want to waste time and energy explaining to Guan Xiaoxiao.
"I can only tell you that I will not enter Xiao Zhenting's door. There is nothing else to say. You can go."
Shangguan Wan Ning stood up and turned her back to Shangguan Xiaoxiao.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao also stood up and reached out to wipe away the tears that had fallen inadvertently.
"I will leave. However, His Highness asked me to bring you a message."
Shangguan Wan Ning frowned, a feeling of disgust spreading in her heart.
"Sister, do you know No. 23 of Huazhi Lane? There is a courtyard there, and a girl named Qiu Nong lives there. Our father spent the night there last night."
Shangguan Wan Ning was a little surprised. In her impression, her father had never been interested in romantic affairs and had a very good relationship with her mother.
It is said that Dannian took Aunt Zhao as his concubine because of her grandmother's strong wish.
"So what?" Shangguan Wanning pretended to be calm, "Where dad wants to spend the night is his business. How can we, as daughters, control it?"
"Of course. Don't say that you and I can't control it. Even your mother can't control it. However, that Qiunong girl is the concubine of a general in the court. Many people know it. In case, she is
That man knows...what will happen?"
Shangguan Wan Ning's heart skipped a beat and she turned to look at Shangguan Xiaoxiao.
"Do you know who that general is?" Shangguan Xiaoxiao raised her head and said slowly, "His name is... Zheng Binghang."
Shangguan Wan Ning couldn't help but take a breath of air.
In fact, she had long heard that her second uncle had an extramarital affair. A few years ago, she also wanted to marry her as a concubine, but her second aunt cried and refused to agree.
After all, the second aunt gave birth to the only child of the Zheng family. My grandfather was worried that Zheng Zhixing had other ideas, so he firmly opposed it.
Zheng Binghang had no choice but to buy a house outside for the woman to live in. Since he did not bring her in, his second aunt could only turn a blind eye.
"Sister, because of your incident, the relationship between dad and the Zheng family has become worse than before. Now, if your second uncle knows that dad has touched his woman, guess... what will happen?"
Shangguan Wan Ning's face was gloomy, she clenched her fists and her whole body was shaking.
"Dad has never been a womanizer. If he knew that Qiunong was my second uncle's woman, he would never touch her. You must have used some trick to frame him, right?"
Shangguan Xiaoxiao glanced at Shangguan Wanning contemptuously. "I don't know about that. I'm only responsible for passing on the message."
"Shangguan Xiaoxiao, you are also from the Shangguan family and are my father's daughter. When you see your father being slandered like this, don't you even feel it?"
"What did sister just say?" Shangguan Xiaoxiao chuckled, "I am from the Shangguan family? Am I? From top to bottom of the Shangguan family, does anyone regard me as a member of the Shangguan family? Does anyone regard me as the second young lady?
?Even Shangguan Yue, does he think that I am his daughter?"
Shangguan Xiaoxiao's emotions became more and more agitated, her face was gloomy, her voice was hoarse, her tearful eyes were scarlet, and she glared angrily at Shangguan Wan Ning.
"Since he doesn't treat me as a daughter, why should I treat him as a father?"
Shangguan Wanning's heart was trembling.
Zheng Binghang must not let Zheng Binghang know about this matter, otherwise, the conflict will completely break out.
"What do you want?" Shangguan Wanning tried her best to suppress her anger and asked in a hoarse voice.
"It's very simple. The second prince wants you to admit in front of Mu Jingrui that you were the one who poisoned him, and that the second prince is the only one in your heart."
"Don't even think about it!" Shangguan Wan Ning refused through gritted teeth.
"Then just wait and see your second uncle and father go to war. You have one night to think about it."
After Shangguan Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she walked away, leaving Shangguan Wanning alone to sort out her emotions.
Shangguan Wan Ning did not believe Shangguan Xiaoxiao's one-sided statement, and immediately asked Sun Jinyao to help secretly investigate.
It wasn't until late at night that Sun Jinyao came back from outside. The result was that Shangguan Wanning completely lost sleep.
Father really touched Qiunong.
Regardless of whether he was plotted or willing, this was unacceptable to the second uncle.
"What are you going to do?" Sun Jinyao was a little worried.
"Apart from temporarily following him, what else can I do?" Shangguan Wan Ning felt deep despair.
Not even my mother can talk about this matter.
"There is another way to avoid future troubles forever." A sharp murderous look flashed through Sun Jinyao's eyes under the mask.
"Brother Yao, please don't. You have already failed in assassination once. If you fail again, he will definitely not let you go. You believe me, I will have a way to deal with him."
