Shangguan Wanning waited in Zuixian Tower for a whole afternoon without waiting for Mu Jingrui.
He probably won't come.
She returned home with a feeling of loss. The token about Shenji Camp was always circling in her mind, like a shadow shrouded in her heart, lingering.
"Miss, you are back." The butler looked anxiously at the door, hurriedly went down the steps to greet him, and said in a low voice, "Miss. The second lady is back."
Shangguan Wanning was stunned, and her thoughts paused for a moment.
"She's alone?"
"No, there is also the King of Qin... No, it's the second son-in-law."
A hint of horror appeared in Shangguan Wanning's eyes.
She sent so many people to surround Xiao Zhenting, just to prevent him from returning to the capital. She knew in her heart that except for looking at her, Xiao Yujue and Mu Jingrui would definitely do the same thing.
However, with the joint efforts of the other forces, Xiao Zhenting arrived in the capital safely.
Shangguan Wanning suddenly realized that during the period when Xiao Zhenting was demoted, he was definitely not really weeding and farming.
She took a deep breath and walked towards the main hall. She saw Shangguan Xiaoxiao standing beside her mother, diligently pounding her shoulders for her.
Xiao Zhenting sat down below, wearing a simple long gown, which seemed to be completely devoid of the arrogance and domineeringness of the past.
"Sister is back?" Shangguan Xiaoxiao took the initiative to come forward and saluted Shangguan Wanning.
Xiao Zhenting also stood up and bowed and smiled, "Suddenly coming to disturb me, please don't be surprised by Princess Anning."
I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, Shangguan Wanning always felt that Xiao Zhenting had something in his words.
"I don't know how to be so weird, I just feel a little surprised."
Shangguan Wanning clenched her fist secretly and quietly pushed Shangguan Xiaoxiao away from her mother.
She found that there were some gifts on the table, which were not of high value, and looked at Xiao Zhenting meaningfully.
"My mother is not in good health and can't breathe for a long time. My sister is thinking about it. It's getting late, so I won't delay you two from doing serious things."
Shangguan Wanning was obviously giving an order to expel guests.
She didn't want these two people to wander in front of her eyes, and she felt inexplicably upset and panic when she looked at her.
"Ning'er," Mrs. Shangguan's tone became a little more intense, as if she was a little dissatisfied with Shangguan Wanning's words.
She smiled and looked at Xiao Zhenting and said, "Ning'er is spoiled by me, don't care. Xiao Xiao is back to her parents' home, how can she live outside? Xiao Xiao's room is still there, you guys
Stay at ease.”
"Mom..." Shangguan Wanning was a little anxious and was stopped by her mother with her eyes.
"Thank you aunt."
"Thank you, Mother-in-law."
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Zhenting's mouth, but Shangguan Wanning felt that there was a cunning and insidious feeling.
The housekeeper took Xiao Zhenting and Shangguan Xiaoxiao out. Shangguan Wanning immediately sent off all the servants and complained: "Mom, why did you keep them at home? Now that my father is not at home, I really am not that way.
Get more energy to deal with..."
"What are you anxious about? Do you not know what you are thinking?"
Mrs. Shangguan stood up and stared at the gifts brought by Shangguan Xiaoxiao and Xiao Zhenting.
"The things they bought are not of high value, they just want to show bad things in front of us. Although Xiao Zhenting returned to Beijing under the imperial edict, the court did not even arrange a place for him to live."
"This shows that those treacherous courtiers are still waiting and watching. Ning'er, mother knows that you are wary of Xiao Zhenting. Since that's the case, instead of letting him live outside and always worrying that he will play tricks, it's better to arrange it on your eyes
Under the son.”
"There are many experts in our Prime Minister's Mansion, so I'm not afraid of him showing the storm. If it's really a last resort, it's much easier to start."
Shangguan Wanning was shocked.
She never thought that her mother, who had always only vegetarian food and chanted Buddha's name in the Buddhist temple, had such scheming and scheming.
"Mom, you..." Shangguan Wanning breathed a sigh of relief, because her mother was not as weak as she imagined.
Mrs. Shangguan turned around and looked at her daughter, reached out to clean her long hair.
"Do you think mom is scary?"
Shangguan Wanning shook her head.
"My mother grew up in the generals. She has never seen any intrigue. Many times I just disdain to fight with others. In the past, my father had big and small things at home, but now... it depends on us, mother and daughter.
.”
Shangguan Wanning's heart ached violently.
"Mom, don't worry, I will definitely find my father back."
Shangguan Yue has been missing for too long, and rumors have begun to occur in the court. The emperor summoned him three times but failed to enter the palace. In desperation, Shangguan Wanning had to tell the truth.
The government and the country were in an uproar.
The emperor immediately sent Jingzhao Prefecture and the Imperial Guard to investigate Shangguan Yue's whereabouts.
Shangguan Wanning followed the rules to go to the palace to pay tribute to the concubines.
Now in the harem, the empress dowager is dead and the empress is deposed, and she is simply a leaderless group.
Everyone just wanted to please Shu Yan, the concubine of the harem who was in full swing recently and was the most popular concubine in the harem.
Waiting for the summoning of Ge Shuyan, almost everyone was watching the flowers and chatting in the imperial garden.
Shangguan Wanning was worried, standing in the corner, staring at the chrysanthemum in front of her.
"Princess."
A crisp and loud shout recalled Shangguan Wanning's thoughts.
Shangguan Wanning turned around and saw Yin Yuqing walking towards her.
"What's up?"
Perhaps because of her deep love for Mu Jingrui, Shangguan Wanning's feelings for Yin Yuqing were very complicated. She had to admit that she was a little jealous of Yin Yuqing.
"My husband asked me to return this thing to the princess." Yin Yuqing took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it over.
Shangguan Wanning's face changed slightly. She noticed that everyone was casting curious eyes, and she couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.
"Princess, my husband asked me to tell you a few words. His fate and you have ended, and his deep affection has been broken. No matter who is right or wrong before, it has passed. After all, it is different for men and women. If he is with you again
Meeting in private will only affect your reputation.”
"You..." Lu Tong couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to refute Yin Yuqing, but was stopped by Shangguan Wanning.
In this case, quarreling with Yin Yuqing is just a humiliation.
"Forget it, Lutong, let's go."
Shangguan Wanning just wants to calm down the situation. She knows what it means to be fearful.
Shangguan Wanning's face turned pale. If she brought the letter back in front of everyone, she would definitely become a laughing stock for outsiders.
"The princess is here, please be careful in his words and actions to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. It is better not to meet my husband again in the future."
