For several days, Shangguan Wanning didn't 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 would find a way to meet with Mu Jingrui and explain the misunderstanding.
"Miss, Miss is back."
Lu Tong brought some pastries to Shangguan Wan Ning and placed them within her reach.
Shangguan Wanning didn't even raise her head and continued to study the medical book.
She doesn't want to pay attention to people she hates.
"Sister, what are you looking at so seriously?"
The more she didn't want to see him, the more he would get closer to her.
This made Shangguan Wanning feel even worse.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao came in front of her, glanced down at the medical book, and said with a smile: "If I were your sister, I would read more "Legends of Heroes" or "Women's Virtues."
"Second Miss, you..."
Everyone could hear the mockery in Shangguan Xiaoxiao's words. Lu Tong wanted to stand up for Shangguan Wanning, but Shangguan Wanning stopped her with a gesture.
"My sister is coming back today. Isn't she here to remind me what book I should read?"
Shangguan Xiaoxiao sat down opposite Shangguan Wanning, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and laughed softly, "Of course not. I thought that my sister would be bored if she didn't know what was happening outside since she stayed at home all the time. So, I came back to chat with you."
"Really? What do you want to talk about?" Shangguan Wanning put down the medical book and looked at Shangguan Xiaoxiao.
"Just chatting. For example, what do people in the capital think of you now?" Shangguan Xiaoxiao's eyes were filled with sarcasm. "You obviously didn't marry the Second Prince, but you had a secret meeting with him in the White Horse Temple in broad daylight. I'm afraid you forgot that the Second Prince is my husband."
Shangguan Wanning actually knew how embarrassing her current situation was, she just tried to avoid thinking about it.
Now, Shangguan Xiaoxiao saw her self-deception disguise torn apart.
"You didn't want it at first, and now you're trying to snatch it from me." Shangguan Xiaoxiao leaned forward, staring at Shangguan Wan Ning with bloodshot eyes, "Sister, what do you want?"
Shangguan Wanning was speechless and didn't want to waste time and energy explaining to Shangguan Xiaoxiao.
"I can only tell you that I will not enter Xiao Zhenting's door. There is nothing else to say. Go away."
Shangguan Wanning stood up and turned her back to Shangguan Xiaoxiao.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao also stood up and reached out to wipe away the tears that had just fallen inadvertently.
"I will leave. However, the Second Prince asked me to bring you a message."
Shangguan Wanning frowned, a feeling of disgust spreading in her heart.
"Sister, do you know No. 23 Huazhi Lane? There is a courtyard house there, and a girl named Qiu Nong lives in it. Our father spent the night there last night."
Shangguan Wanning was a little surprised. In her impression, her father had never had any interest in romantic matters and had a very good relationship with her mother.
I heard that Dannian married Aunt Zhao as a concubine because of his grandmother's strong wish.
"So what?" Shangguan Wan Ning pretended to be calm. "Where Dad wants to spend the night is his business. How can we, as his daughters, control that?"
"Of course. Not to mention you and I can't do anything about it, even your mother can't do anything about it. However, that girl Qiu Nong is the concubine of a general in the court, and many people know about it. What if that man finds out... what do you think will happen?"
Shangguan Wanning'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 Wanning couldn't help but gasp.
In fact, she had heard that her second uncle had a mistress outside. She had wanted to marry her into the family as a concubine a few years ago, but her second aunt cried and refused to agree.
After all, the second aunt gave birth to the only child of the Zheng family, and my grandfather was worried that Zheng Zhixing would have some ideas, so he firmly opposed it.
Zheng Binghang had no choice but to buy a house outside for the woman to live in. Since she was not brought into the house, his second aunt could only turn a blind eye.
"Sis, because of you, Dad's relationship with the Zheng family is no longer as good as before. Now, if your second uncle knew that Dad touched his woman, guess...what would happen?"
Shangguan Wanning's face was gloomy, she clenched her fists, and her whole body was shaking.
"Dad has never been a womanizer. If he knew Qiu Nong was my second uncle's woman, he would never touch her. You must have framed him, right?"
Shangguan Xiaoxiao glanced at Shangguan Wanning with contempt. "I don't know about that. I was just responsible for passing on the message."
"Shangguan Xiaoxiao, you are also from the Shangguan family, and you are my father's daughter. Don't you feel anything when you see your father being slandered like this?"
"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 treat me as a member of the Shangguan family? Does anyone treat me as the second young lady? Even Shangguan Yue, does he treat me as his daughter?"
Shangguan Xiaoxiao became more and more agitated, her face was gloomy, her voice was hoarse, her tearful eyes were bloodshot, and she glared at Shangguan Wanning angrily.
"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 know about this matter under any circumstances, otherwise the conflict will break out completely.
"What do you want?" Shangguan Wanning asked in a hoarse voice, trying her best to suppress her anger.
"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 Wanning refused with gritted teeth.
"Then you can 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 turned away, leaving Shangguan Wanning alone to sort out her emotions.
Shangguan Wanning did not believe Shangguan Xiaoxiao's one-sided statement and immediately asked Sun Jinyao to help investigate secretly.
It was not until late at night that Sun Jinyao came back from outside, and the result was that Shangguan Wanning completely lost her sleep.
My father really touched Qiu Nong.
Whether he was being schemed against or was willing, this was unacceptable to my second uncle.
"What are you going to do?" Sun Jinyao was a little worried.
"What else can I do except to go along with him temporarily?" Shangguan Wanning felt deeply desperate.
Even my mother cannot tell me about this.
"There is another way that can eliminate the trouble forever." A sharp murderous look flashed in Sun Jinyao's eyes under the mask.
"Brother Yao, don't do that. You have already failed in the assassination attempt once. If you fail again, he will definitely not let you go. Believe me, I will find a way to deal with him."
