When Mu Jingyan saw his brother's face, he knew that he had softened his heart, and he immediately became angry.
She glared at Shangguan Wan Ning angrily and said angrily: "It's our own wishes as brothers and sisters, it has nothing to do with His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Why are you doing this? How can my father be sorry for you?"
Shangguan Wan Ning was so angry that she was shaking all over. She didn't understand what happened. She tried her best to make peace with Mu Jingrui, but why...
It seems that it is developing on the trajectory of the previous life again?
Mu Jingyan has a straightforward personality and believes that things should be done openly and aboveboard, so he frankly told what Taifu Sun said and everything they found out.
During this process, Mu Jingrui remained silent. The arrow wound on his back probably caused him pain, and he frowned slightly from time to time.
"Why don't you speak?" Shangguan Wan Ning looked at Mu Jingrui, feeling a little disappointed.
Mu Jingrui lowered his eyelids, feeling helpless in his heart.
"I have nothing to say."
Shangguan Wan Ning took a deep breath and said decisively: "My father will not do this. He will never frame his best friend for many years in order to support Xiao Zhenting's rise to power."
"You won't do it if you say you can't? That's just your one-sided statement." Mu Jingyan angrily scolded.
"Aren't Taifu Sun's words just one-sided words?" Shangguan Wan Ning's gaze turned to Mu Jingyan, and her eyes darkened.
"I know that no matter what I say today, you won't believe it. I don't want to explain it anymore." Shangguan Wan Ning's thoughts were a little confused. Everything she experienced now was something she didn't experience in her previous life.
She needs a little time to sort out and digest.
"Just now, you saved my life; I also helped you escape; we... don't owe each other. But I warn you two, don't come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to assassinate and cause trouble again."
Shangguan Wan Ning clenched her fists and watched Mu Jingrui say word by word: "I will not let anyone, including you, hurt my parents. If there is a next time, I will not show mercy."
After saying that, Shangguan Wan Ning raised the curtain of the carriage and prepared to get out of the carriage and leave.
Mu Jingyan was so angry that he didn't want to let her go easily.
Just as he was about to step forward and grab her, his wrist was grabbed by Mu Jingrui and she couldn't move.
"Brother..." Mu Jingyan struggled angrily, "You are my father's son. You don't want to avenge him, but you still miss your enemy's daughter. How can you be worthy of him and your mother?"
Mu Jingrui felt uncomfortable when he saw tears welling up in his sister's eyes.
"We haven't reached that stage yet. No matter what, it was she who saved us tonight. I promise you, if it is really proven that Shangguan Yue harmed my parents, I will definitely kill the enemy with my own hands and show no mercy."
Mu Jingyan didn't know what to do and couldn't help but cover his face and cry bitterly.
Shangguan Wan Ning walked back in despair, and soon met the butler who came to help with the search.
"Miss, are you okay?"
Shangguan Wanning shook her head absentmindedly.
Mu Jingrui's indifference and Mu Jingyan's hatred kept reappearing in her mind, making her upset.
"Go back quickly. When Madam woke up, she learned that you were kidnapped by assassins and fainted again."
Shangguan Wan Ning suddenly woke up and hurried home.
Shangguan Yue called for the imperial doctor from the palace, who was pacing anxiously at the door.
His wife was in a coma, his daughter was arrested, and he was trapped in both places.
"Dad, don't worry, my aunt and sister will definitely be in good health." Shangguan Xiaoxiao came over with a cup of tea, "You have to take care of yourself. I made you a cup of ginseng tea, please drink some.
"
Shangguan Yue was very anxious, but looking at his little daughter with a low eyebrow, he couldn't bear to reject her filial piety, so he picked up the cup and took a sip.
"Dad...Mom..."
Shangguan Wan Ning rushed into her parents' room as soon as she came back. Shangguan Yue hurriedly greeted her, grabbed her and looked at her carefully.
"Ning'er, how are you? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine," Shangguan Wanning suppressed the excitement in her heart and asked, "Where is mother?"
"In the house, the imperial doctor is still giving her acupuncture. Go in and have a look. If you come back safely, her injuries will be more than half healed."
Shangguan Wan Ning walked directly into the back room. It wasn't until dawn began to appear on the eastern horizon that Mrs. Shangguan slowly opened her eyes.
Shangguan Wan Ning helped her mother take medicine before going back to her room to bathe and change clothes.
It wasn't until she woke up that Lutong reported: "Miss, the master has just sent someone to pass the news. You will go see him when you wake up."
Shangguan Wan Ning paused for a moment. She originally had a lot of doubts and uneasiness in her heart, but now she calmed down.
She poured a cup of tea and took it to her father's study.
Shangguan Yue dismissed all the servants and asked with concern: "Were there any injuries last night?"
"No."
"Who is it that kidnapped you?"
Shangguan Wan Ning's heart skipped a beat, and she avoided her father's probing gaze. Her mind was spinning rapidly, secretly wondering whether she should tell the truth.
"You know those two people, don't you?"
Her father's questioning made Shangguan Wan Ning feel ashamed.
She took a deep breath, raised her eyes and looked at her father. "That's right."
"That's right. If you hadn't met them, the man in black wouldn't have risked his life to block your arrows." Shangguan Yue put down the book in his hand, "Is it Mu Jingrui?"
Shangguan Wan Ning's cheeks turned slightly red and she walked to her father's side.
"Dad, actually...can you not arrest him for the time being?"
"Then can you give me a reason not to arrest him? Ning'er, you have to know that Mu Jingrui has great martial arts skills and a meticulous mind. If he murders me, I won't be able to prevent him. You don't want me to die one day either.
It's in his hands."
Shangguan Wan Ning's heartbeat inexplicably accelerated, and the tragedy of her previous life came to mind again.
She shivered all over, and her face turned extremely pale. After hesitating for a long time, she explained Mu Jingyan's suspicions about her father.
After hearing this, Shangguan Yue looked calm and his eyes remained calm.
"Then do you believe me or them?"
"Of course I believe dad." Shangguan Wan Ning blurted out without thinking.
Shangguan Yue nodded with satisfaction.
"Ning'er, you have to remember that the pure will self-purify. Dad has never done anything to regret his friends." Shangguan Yue gently patted the back of his daughter's hand, "I think Mu Jingrui will continue to investigate, then
Let him investigate, and the truth will be revealed one day. But..."
Shangguan Yue suddenly became serious and said, "Don't get too close to him. You may not be able to control this person..."
Shangguan Wan Ning's heart sank. She didn't want to add to her father's troubles at this time, so she could only nodded in agreement.
After coming out of her father's study, she raised her head and looked at the blue sky in the afternoon, thinking a lot.
