"..."
Shangguan Xuan remained silent, his gaze fixed intently on Mo Shisheng with that same burning intensity.
Just as Mo Shisheng was about to vent her anger, Shangguan Xuan finally spoke.
He said, "It's Shangguan Qi, isn't it?"
Mo Shisheng stiffened slightly, her long eyelashes trembled, and she quickly composed herself. "What? I don't understand."
“Yan’er, I spent a lot of money to hire people from Chu Zhaoge to investigate. The place where you had the accident in mid-April was in the suburbs, and Shangguan Qi was there too.” Shangguan Xuan tightened his grip on Mo Shisheng’s wrist. “Your voice was poisoned and your appearance was ruined. I found out all of that.”
"..."
Mo Shisheng pursed her lips and remained silent. Chu Zhaoge was a clandestine force that had suddenly risen in recent years. Even the imperial court could not contend with it. Moreover, Chu Zhaoge operated in the shadows, and very few people knew where this force was located.
Rumor has it that this force is extremely powerful and has ties to four different countries.
Chu Zhaoge is at odds with the imperial court, yet Shangguan Xuan, as the Grand General Protector of Qi, actually spent a large sum of money to have Chu Zhaoge investigate the truth behind his incident?
Mo Shisheng's silence made Shangguan Xuan even more uncertain. He took Mo Shisheng's hand and led her out of the Shangguan residence and into the carriage. He continued, "It was Shangguan Qi who attacked you. A large part of the reason he attacked you was because of me, which is why you are so disgusted by my approach, right?"
"Oh…"
Mo Shisheng chuckled lightly, her gaze indifferent as she looked at Shangguan Xuan. "Shangguan Xuan, who do you think you are? Do you think you can interfere in my affairs? What, you're investigating these things because you're afraid I'll take revenge on your precious sister? Afraid that if I live, you'll never be able to inherit the Shangguan family?"
"Shangguan Yan!"
"Shangguan Xuan! I hate everything about your arrogance. What right do you have to investigate me!" Mo Shisheng said coldly, her tone filled with anger. "If you brought me out tonight to tell me this, then you can attack me now..."
"..."
Mo Shisheng's words suddenly caught in her throat, because she was suddenly pulled into Shangguan Xuan's warm embrace. The familiar embrace and scent made her nose sting with tears.
In the original owner's memories, she was still extremely dependent on Shangguan Xuan...
Mo Shisheng sighed softly, but her body suddenly stiffened a little, because a tear rolled down her right eye, leaving a trace on her face before evaporating without a trace...
"sorry."
Mo Shisheng was puzzled by Shangguan Xuan's sudden apology. He then said, "I'm back. From now on, I will never let anyone bully you again."
"..."
Mo Shisheng didn't know what to do at this moment, but a memory suddenly surfaced in her mind. It was Shangguan Yan at that time. She seemed to be only six years old when Shangguan Leiting ordered her to be forcibly taken back to the Shangguan Mansion and separated from her mother.
Arriving in this unfamiliar environment for the first time, Shangguan Yan appeared extremely uneasy. She hid behind a large tree, watching Shangguan Xuan practice his sword in the courtyard, her wet eyes looking heartbreaking.
Shangguan Xuan had always been aloof, but when Shangguan Yan was brought back, he was amazed by her exquisite features.
He had never seen such a beautiful girl before; she was so beautiful she seemed to glow...
