Chapter 143 The Secret of Life



At this time, the front hall was silent, and Shang Yuanshan and the others were sitting there anxiously waiting for news.

At this moment, a thin little figure was standing outside the window of the front hall. She stood quietly under the window, her face full of confusion. Every time she wanted to take a step forward, she retreated in confusion and did not dare to take a step forward.

Suddenly, Shang Wanyue outside squatted on the ground and cried with her head in her hands.

The hall was so quiet at that moment that no matter how softly Shang Wanyue cried, everyone in the hall could hear her crying.

When Jiang Peixuan heard the crying, he looked at Shang Yuanshan and the others, but seeing that they were silent, he ignored them.

[Why is she crying secretly? She's like a crybaby.] Shang Yangyang sighed and jumped off the chair. She quietly walked out and approached Shang Wanyue who was crying bitterly.

Shang Yangyang took out a small handkerchief and handed it over. "Wipe~"

The sudden sound frightened Shang Wanyue so much that she trembled all over. She raised her big wet eyes and looked at Shang Yangyang.

"Here." Shang Yangyang handed the handkerchief forward again.

Shang Wanyue reached out to take the handkerchief and stood up. "I..."

Shang Yangyang took the handkerchief from her hand and went forward to wipe her tears. "Be good, don't cry~"

Shang Wanyue cried even harder now, and she hugged Shang Yangyang tightly. "Yangyang, I...I'm sorry."

"Apologize for what?"

"Yangyang, I was sent to monitor the Marquis' Mansion."

"We all know that."

"Ah?" Shang Wanyue hesitated. "Then why did you keep me here and treat my illness?"

"You didn't do anything!"

"I..." Shang Wanyue said and started crying again.

Just at this moment Mu Yun came back from outside. He walked to the window here, nodded to Shang Yangyang, and was about to climb in through the window.

Shang Yangyang pointed to the door: "Uncle Mu Yun, door."

Mu Yun smiled awkwardly and scratched his head. "I'm used to it." Then he changed direction and walked in through the door.

Shang Yangyang also took Shang Wanyue's hand and took her into the front hall and found a chair to sit down.

"My Lord, I sneaked into the Duke's Mansion and found that the guards there have been replaced. Princess Changning is confined to her own courtyard and cannot go in or out. As for the Duke's courtyard, I cannot get close to it."

Shang Yuanshan frowned, his fingers tapping on the table. If it weren't for his reason telling him not to be impulsive, he would have rushed to the Duke's Mansion and broken Shang Huaishu's legs first.

Suddenly, Shang Yangyang's inner voice came: [What? Grandpa Guo fainted? ]

Xiao Bai nodded vigorously: "The Duke's wife did not faint, but she was also controlled in the Duke's yard. It seems that she is not in a good condition now."

[Why did Shang Huaishu put Grandpa Guogong and Grandma Li under guard? Did he really not care about family affection at all?] Shang Yangyang really couldn't understand it at all, and her little face was wrinkled at this moment.

When Shang Yuanshan heard Shang Yangyang's voice, his heart tightened. He covered his chest with his hands and felt inexplicably anxious and uncomfortable.

Shang Yangyang noticed Shang Yuanshan standing beside her, and she ran over to him. "Daddy~"

Shang Yuanshan slowly relaxed and reached out to rub Shang Yangyang's head.

"Yuanshan, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm just a little nervous." Shang Yuanshan was completely panicked at this moment. He had no way to calm down and think of a solution. He really wanted to kill Shang Huaishu.

Shang Wanyue, who was sitting far away, tightly grasped the small medicine bag on her chest, her eyes full of confusion.

But she really couldn't do it, so she walked forward tremblingly and made Shang Wanyue kneel on the ground.

Shang Qian'an on the side was the first to react. He looked at Shang Wanyu warily: "What are you going to do?"

Shang Wanyue kowtowed frantically on the ground, and finally Lin Siqing stepped forward to stop her, and she stopped kowtowing.

"Wanyue, you are feeling better now. Don't be like this. Just tell me what you have to say."

Shang Wanyue looked at Lin Siqing with tears on her face: "Aunt, I know you all know that I was sent to the Marquis' Mansion, but why are you all so nice to me?"

Lin Siqing rubbed Shang Wanyue's head. "You haven't done anything to harm us, and we have been waiting for you to tell us your difficulties."

Shang Wanyue wiped the tears from her face with her sleeve: "My mother was captured by my father, and he used her to threaten me to sneak into the Marquis' Mansion to pass on messages to him, but I really haven't passed on any messages recently, so he wants me to poison you." Shang Wanyue lowered her head and took out the medicine bag and handed it to Lin Siqing.

Shang Yuanshan came back to his senses while thinking: "Sure enough, the rat in the sewer finally escaped. Did the person behind the scenes go to such great lengths to release him from the prison just for such a small matter?"

Shang Yuanshan seemed to have discovered something, and he stood up. "Could it be related to the Duke's Mansion? What is the connection between them?" Shang Yuanshan fell into deep thought again.

Shang Wanyue was a little scared when she saw Shang Yuanshan like this, but she still said: "My Lord, please help me rescue my mother. I am willing to exchange a secret with you."

Shang Yuanshan looked at Shang Wanyue with sharp eyes. He suddenly found something wrong and looked Shang Wanyue up and down. He saw the innocence in Shang Wanyue's eyes that did not belong to a one and a half year old child, and the logic of her words was too clear.

This is somewhat different from Yangyang. Yangyang knew what was going to happen, and was willing to worry a little, but still maintained a childlike innocence.

This Shang Wanyue gave him a very different feeling.

Shang Yangyang looked at Shang Yuanshan, then at Shang Wanyue. [What's the secret? Shang Wanyue is not going to tell Daddy that she is a soul that traveled from another world? ]

[But what's the point of exchanging this? You might even be considered an alien.]

Shang Yuanshan suppressed his disbelief and looked at Shang Wanyue. "Why are you willing to believe me instead of completing the mission and letting your father release your mother?"

Shang Wanyue recalled what happened before Li's death, and her whole body trembled. Compared to that kind of father, she would rather believe Shang Yuanshan, who saved her even though he knew it was a trap.

Shang Wanyue said firmly: "He can't be trusted."

Shang Yuanshan: "I can't believe this reason."

Shang Wanyue lowered her head and thought for a moment, then she told what happened after Li suddenly went crazy.

"One night, my grandmother went crazy again and said she saw a ghost. She became delirious and talked nonsense. At this time, my father asked the servants to take good care of her."

Shang Yangyang on the side smiled evilly. [Hehe, it should be what happened after Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai scared her.]

Then I heard Shang Wanyue continue: "But a few days later, my father found my grandmother and wanted her to cooperate with him to cause trouble in the Marquis' Mansion. At that time, my grandmother was in a trance and hid in the corner, and she was unable to cooperate with him at all.

At first he was very patient in persuading her, but later he went crazy and beat my grandmother. That day, screams were heard from her room. Later, he really beat her until she woke up.

Shang Yuanshan's hands trembled unconsciously when he heard this. He sneered, "This is the son she has loved since he was a child."

Lin Siqing grabbed Shang Yuanshan's hand and calmed him down.

Shang Wanyue continued, "Later, my grandmother cooperated and came to the Marquis' Mansion. You know everything that happened afterwards, but I don't believe that my selfish grandmother would commit suicide. It must be my father or someone who instructed my father to do something that caused her to commit suicide."

Shang Yuanshan also recalled the situation in the dungeon that day. He had always guessed this way. He didn't believe that Li would commit suicide, but he didn't expect Shang Wanning to be so cruel to his mother.

Shang Yuanshan looked at Shang Wanyue and said slowly: "Okay, I am willing to believe you, I will do my best to save your mother."

"Thank you, my lord." Shang Wanyue was about to kneel down and kowtow again, but this time he was supported by Lin Siqing.

"Wanyue, you don't have to do this."

Shang Yuanshan didn't say much. He said directly: "You can tell me your secret now."

Shang Wanyue recalled, "Once, my mother and I overheard the conversation between my father and grandmother outside the door. When my grandmother said, 'You are not my father's eldest brother, Lord Hou,' my mother and I thought she was just saying that out of anger, but then she said, 'You should have strangled him to death. Your father said that he was Shang Jia's son after all, and he insisted on raising him like his own son. Now, he almost killed our family."

Shang Yuanshan trembled all over, and he stared straight at Shang Wanyue: "Are you serious?"

Shang Yangyang's face showed that she was shocked. [This crappy author is really evil-hearted. He didn't even write this matter clearly in the book. No wonder some scenes felt very strange when I was reading the book. The author actually buried a landmine and hasn't dug it out yet.]

"Every word you say must be true, otherwise you will be struck by lightning." In order to make them believe her words, Shang Wanyue raised two fingers and swore to the sky.

Shang Yuanshan felt even more pain in his chest at this moment. He recalled what Shang Wanyue said in his mind and carefully analyzed the meaning of the words.

He felt that he was about to catch something, but he didn't dare to think in the direction he had guessed.
