But Shangguan Dan is loved by his brother...
Wei Yuan's heart ached more and more as he thought about it, but he didn't dare to show it. He habitually wanted to please Wei Fu, so he sniffed, wiped his tears, stepped forward, pretended to be fine, and admitted his mistake, "Brother, I was wrong. I promise you, there will definitely not be a next time!"
Wei Fu was already upset because of the incident between Zhao Ying and Shangguan Shu, and now that he was surrounded by officials like monkeys, he was furious. He shouted, "Apologize, apologize! You always apologize when you make a mistake, but do apologies really work? Can an apology salvage everything? Don't you think what happened to our Wei family isn't shameful enough?"
"But...but Shangguan Dan is also very shameful, Shangguan Zhu too, they..." Wei Yuan retorted weakly, but when he met Wei Fu's stern gaze, he immediately threw down his armor and couldn't say a word.
Wei Fu sneered, "What they do is their business. Do you think you should follow their example in embarrassing things? How old are you and still comparing yourself to others? Besides," Wei Fu laughed at himself and lowered his voice, "they are ten times less embarrassing than them..."
Wei Yuan understood Wei Fu's intention. He lowered his head and blamed himself, "I'm sorry, brother. If I hadn't married Lulong, this scandal wouldn't have happened..."
It's all his fault...
Wei Yuan couldn't bring himself to speak. He had a young prostitute who looked like Wei Fu, which was why the incident got bigger and bigger...
Seeing this, Wei Fu was no longer willing to blame Wei Yuan. After all, he was also a victim. Wei Fu sighed and said, "Alright, let's end this matter here and don't mention it again in the future."
Shangguan Dan was taken away by Shangguan Shu to apply medicine, and Shangguan Qingyue followed behind him.
Shangguan Dan always felt that there was someone behind him. He turned around and saw that there was indeed a little girl following him. Shangguan Dan frowned and reminded, "Brother, your daughter is behind us!"
Shangguan Shu turned around upon hearing the voice and picked up Shangguan Qingyue.
Shangguan Qingyue put his arm around Shangguan Shu's neck, looked at Shangguan Dan, pursed his lips, and his big dark eyes were rolling. [Third Uncle is so awesome...]
Shangguan Dan's lips curled up unconsciously when he heard this. This little guy has good sense!
The next second, Shangguan Qingyue could be heard laughing in his heart, [Anyone can beat this except the pig demon!]
Shangguan Dan: ...
Shangguan Shu smiled and looked at his little girl lovingly.
The two of them and the child walked through the princess's mansion. Shangguan Shu continued the topic that had just been interrupted and asked about Shangguan Zhu. Shangguan Dan thought for a moment and said, "Nothing else. Second brother hasn't done anything else recently..."
Shangguan Shu was very secretive about it.
Shangguan Dan reassured him repeatedly, "Don't worry, big brother! My second brother and I are not like Wei Yuan, the most troublesome younger brother in the world. We are your right-hand men and women, and we have absolutely no other thoughts!"
Shangguan Dan never expected that the slap in the face would come so timely and accurately.
As soon as he finished speaking, Shangguan Zhu's voice came from Aoxue Xiaoxie beside him.
"Your Highness, are you here?"
The two people and the child were startled by the sound. Shangguan Dan subconsciously looked at Shangguan Shu. Shangguan Shu narrowed his eyes and then put Shangguan Qingyue on the ground. His sharp eyes passed through the row of dense green bamboo fences and fell on the two people in the Aoxue Pavilion.
Shangguan Shu's aura turned cold.
Shangguan Dan and Shangguan Qingyue also leaned on the bamboo to look over.
The little guy called out softly, "Mother..."
[What does Second Uncle want to see my mother for?]
Shangguan Dan gossiped in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Brother, what does Second Brother want to do with Sister-in-law?"
Shangguan Shu ignored him, but his jaw tensed.
Could it be that Shangguan Zhu resented Zhao Ying and wanted to settle the score with her because he gave up everything?
Bastard!
He said before that he was bewitched by Zhao Ying, but it seems that he was bewitched by Zhao Yao!
Shangguan Shu stared at Shangguan Zhu with a deep look, waiting to see what tricks he was going to play!
There was a circle of green bamboos surrounding the Aoxue Pavilion. Wei Yuan and Wei Fu happened to pass by the green bamboos opposite Shangguan Shu as they left.
In the small pavilion covered with snow.
Zhao Ying didn't respond to Shangguan Zhu's greeting. She slowly sat down, tapping her fingertips lightly on the tabletop. Her voice was cool and icy. "What do you want from me?"
Shangguan Zhu took a deep breath, fixed his gaze on Zhao Ying, and said affectionately, "I invited the princess here today, but there is something..."
"Speak!" Zhao Ying was on guard, waiting for Shangguan Zhu to say something rude at any time, and she would fight back immediately!
Unexpectedly, Shangguan Zhu smiled slightly and reached into his arms, as if he wanted to take something.
Zhao Ying's heart trembled. No way, were they going to assassinate her with a hidden weapon? Kill this beautiful woman who brought disaster upon herself?
Zhao Ying was about to call for help, but the next second, Shangguan Zhu put something on the table. Zhao Ying took a closer look. A jade pendant?
Zhao Ying breathed a sigh of relief, but then became puzzled. What was he going to do?
Could it be that Shangguan Shu wanted to give her the jade pendant, but felt embarrassed, so he asked Shangguan Zhu to deliver it on his behalf?
Is Shangguan Shu so thin-skinned?
Zhao Ying was pondering this when Shangguan Zhu spoke up, "Princess, do you still remember this jade pendant?"
Behind the bamboo fence, Shangguan Shu frowned like a river. Jade pendant?
Shangguan Dan, standing nearby, had already spoken. "Brother, why did Second Brother give Sister-in-law a jade pendant? Hmm, is it poisoned? Is he trying to poison Sister-in-law?"
Shangguan Shu was about to rush out to save Zhao Ying upon hearing this, but was stopped by Shangguan Dan, "Brother, why are you so anxious when it comes to your sister-in-law's matter? There's no conclusion yet. I'm just guessing. Let's wait and see!"
Shangguan Shu tried hard to calm himself down. For some reason, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on what it was.
In front, Zhao Ying shook his head.
Shangguan Zhu looked a little disappointed, but only for a moment.
Shangguan Zhu looked at the jade pendant and said softly, "The princess is of noble status and has countless rare treasures. She must have forgotten it, but I can't..."
"That day, the princess rushed into the prince's palace and exchanged this jade pendant for a bag of silver. The princess's name was engraved on the crevice of the jade pendant. Do you remember it, princess?"
Zhao Ying's eyes were blank, lost in memories... the prince, the jade pendant, the silver... Zhao Ying's pupils slightly dilated, and his vision began to clear up.
Shangguan Zhu was delighted when he saw this. Just as he was about to ask, the princess remembered, but then he heard Zhao Ying say incredulously, "So... you came to me for that bag of silver?"
Shangguan Zhu: ...
Shangguan Shu behind the bamboo: Bastard, who asked him to ask Zhao Ying for the money? If he wanted it, he wouldn't ask for it himself, so he asked him to do it for him!
Shangguan Dan obviously misunderstood and looked at Shangguan Shu with sympathy, "Brother, I know you're short of money, but if you need money, you can come to me. Why should I let my second brother be the bad guy and ask my eldest sister-in-law for it..."
Shangguan Shu: ...
"I don't!"
"Why is that?"
As the two brothers were arguing, Shangguan Qingyue shook his head and said, "Second uncle is too stingy..."
In front, Zhao Ying was at a loss for words, her face filled with surprise. "A bag of silver... a bag of silver, and you've remembered it for so many years... It's my fault..."
Shangguan Zhu interrupted in a panic, "No, Princess..."
