Zhao Ying smiled and said, "So you came here for that life-saving golden elixir. Then you are late."
Shangguan Chaolu was stunned.
"I have already given it to my daughter Yue'er to eat."
Zhao Ying raised her hand and touched the top of Shangguan Qingyue's head.
Shangguan Chaolu frowned and asked, "Why did you give it to Yue'er? She's obviously fine..."
"I can give my medicine to whoever I want. Do I need to report to you? Shangguan Chaolu, is this the attitude you should have when talking to me?" Zhao Ying said coldly.
Shangguan Chaolu stared at Zhao Ying intently. She didn't expect that Zhao Ying actually gave the life-saving golden elixir to the mute... She wanted to force Zhao Ying in front of Shangguan Shu.
If she gave it to save face, then she would have won a complete victory. Even if she didn't, then she could just let Big Brother see what a vicious woman Zhao Ying was...
In the end... Shangguan Chaolu refused to give up. "Sister-in-law, that's not what I meant. Don't be angry. I just think it's so coincidental that Ziyin needed this medicine when something happened, but Yue'er was unharmed. Sister-in-law really favors Yue'er..."
"I was also trying to save the situation. On the Queen Mother's birthday, Zihua kept saying that my daughter Yue'er couldn't speak, so I decided to see how effective this medicine was and whether it could cure the mouth disease. The result was..."
It would have been fine if Zhao Ying hadn't said that, but after she did, Shangguan Chaolu got angry.
Although Zhao Ying might have found an excuse to lie to her, Shangguan Chaolu still felt sorry for her.
It turns out that I just took this medicine not long ago.
If it weren't for the Queen Mother's birthday incident, perhaps she would have succeeded today...
Shangguan Chaolu had nothing to say. She subconsciously looked at Shangguan Shu, but Shangguan Shu had a cold face and said nothing.
Shangguan Chaolu was delighted. After all, her elder brother was still angry. She had said that Zhao Ying could not compare to Huai'an in her elder brother's heart...
Before Shangguan Chaolu could finish her thought, Shangguan Shu threw down his pen and scolded her coldly, "You're becoming more and more outrageous. Who gave you the guts to question your sister-in-law? Who did your sister-in-law give the medicine to and even informed you? Do I have to report everything I do to you tomorrow?!"
Shangguan Shu was very scary when he got angry. He was used to being in a high position, and even though he was unemployed at the moment, his power was not diminished at all.
Shangguan Chaolu suddenly wilted, her legs went weak and she almost fell to her knees. She had nothing to rely on but her mother's family. She was just a grass on the fence, and she would please whoever her elder brother supported.
I just didn’t expect…
"Brother, that's not what I meant."
She quickly looked at Zhao Ying with pleading eyes.
"Don't be angry with me, sister-in-law. It was an unintentional mistake..."
Zhao Ying is a soft-hearted person. As long as she begs her, she will definitely make things better.
Unexpectedly, ever since Zhao Ying enjoyed the happiness of letting himself go last time and reflected deeply on his tolerance and magnanimity in private, he did not receive true love in return, but instead received the further encroachment of a group of ungrateful people.
She won't do that again in the future.
"You all made unintentional mistakes, but I am the villain?"
"Chaolu, I have always pitied you, but I never thought you would be so ungrateful. You make me so sad!"
"Since you're thinking about Huai'an, then go find her. If anything happens in the future, don't come to me again!"
After Zhao Ying finished speaking, Shangguan Chaolu was completely dumbfounded.
Zhao Ying doesn't care about her anymore?
Her husband recently had a chance to be promoted, and she was thinking of asking Zhao Ying for help. After all, Zhao Ying was the easiest to talk to, and she wouldn't let her lose face too much. But now...
Shangguan Chaolu panicked and immediately wanted to find Zhao Ying to apologize. However, Shangguan Shu was a man without any stance. Seeing that Zhao Ying was really angry, he immediately called Yu Xi and drove her out. He also said that he was now unemployed and had no power, so he could not do anything for her and asked her not to come to him again!
Look, is this what your brother said?
Second brother is right, eldest brother must be crazy!
Who was she making things difficult for Zhao Ying for? Wasn't it for her son?
Not only did he ignore her, he also kicked her out...
Who is afraid of whom? Does she think that she can't accomplish anything without them?
It’s true that Zhao Ying is a princess, but isn’t Huai’an a princess?
Sister Huai'an is kind-hearted and will definitely help her!
Let’s wait and see!
After Shangguan Chaolu was kicked out, Shangguan Shu helped Zhao Ying sit down and gave her a shoulder massage. "Ying'er, don't be angry with her. It's not worth getting yourself hurt. Besides, this matter has nothing to do with me. I swear I didn't know about it beforehand!"
The most important thing is not to implicate him. He wants to stroll around the garden tonight!
As if to reassure Zhao Ying, Shangguan Shu walked up to her, squatted down, looked at her gravely, and assured her, "Ying'er, I want to explain to you about those two children."
He observed Zhao Ying's expression and found that she showed no signs of anger, so he dared to continue.
"That day, I led my troops to defeat the Xiongnu and then found Huai'an. I had no other thoughts at the time except... I had promised her that I would rescue her."
"On the way back, the soldiers had won a victory, so they drank a few more glasses. I also got drunk and passed out. I completely forgot what happened that night. When I woke up the next morning..."
Shangguan Shu's face turned pale. He held Zhao Ying's shoulders tightly, as if afraid that she would walk away. He didn't dare to look into her eyes, for he was afraid of seeing her disgusted look.
"Huaian is lying next to me... Ying'er, I really didn't mean it. I haven't even had a concubine in these years. How could I deliberately give birth to a child from my harem to upset you..."
He was emotionally unclear, but his body had never thought of betraying Zhao Ying...
Shangguan Shu frowned.
He had doubted it before. It was impossible for him to do something like that without feeling anything, and without leaving any traces. But he… was unwilling to believe that Huai'an was that kind of despicable and shameless woman. He didn't believe that he had come all the way to save her from suffering, but she was obsessed with harming him…
So he admitted it.
What difference does it make whether you recognize it or not?
He loved Huai'an, and he loved her children as well. He wanted to do the same, but the human heart didn't follow reason. How could he betray Huai'an's feelings at this moment? How could he risk everything for Zhao Ying?
But he did this...
A crazy thought even flashed through his mind: if Zhao Ying killed him, he would definitely let her kill him...
He didn't know what was wrong with him. He only knew that he wanted to stay with Zhao Ying, even if she didn't look at him straight in the eye and spoke coldly to him.
Shangguan Shu felt a pang of sadness in his heart. He knew he had no way of defending himself. Zhao Ying would not tolerate any injustice and would never forgive his betrayal...
