He raised his hand to remove Mo Shisheng's mask, but noticing Shangguan Xuan's movement, Mo Shisheng pushed him away.
Shangguan Xuan stumbled back to his seat in a disheveled state.
"Shangguan Xuan, don't force me to take action."
Mo Shisheng's voice was cold, as if it chilled one to the bone.
Shangguan Xuan slumped back in his seat, a mocking smile appearing on his handsome face. "Yan'er, do you like the Imperial Advisor?"
"..."
Mo Shisheng frowned slightly, turned her head to look at Shangguan Xuan, and found that he was staring intently at her, his gaze seemingly filled with deep pain.
Mo Shisheng's heart skipped a beat. She took a deep breath and turned her face slightly away. "No, you're overthinking it."
She didn't know why she needed to explain, but when she met Shangguan Xuan's heavy gaze, she felt a heavy, oppressive pain in her heart... This was Shangguan Yan's feeling for Shangguan Xuan, something she couldn't erase...
Finally, upon hearing Mo Shisheng's reply, Shangguan Xuan's lips curled into a wicked smile.
He sat up straight, raised his hand and gently pinched Mo Shisheng's arm, lifting her sleeve slightly to reveal the bandaged wound, his eyes filled with intense ferocity.
Even so, his voice remained gentle, as if carrying a hint of doting affection, "Yan'er, be good, I will avenge you."
A hint of surprise flashed in Mo Shisheng's eyes as she looked at Shangguan Xuan, her heart filled with complex emotions.
She dared not trust Shangguan Xuan, and what had happened to her did not allow her to trust him anymore.
Not knowing which matter Shangguan Xuan was seeking revenge for, Mo Shisheng gently withdrew her hand, pulled down her sleeve, and said in a calm tone, "This is my own business, Shangguan Xuan, don't interfere."
"Okay, you can contact me if you need help resolving any issues."
Shangguan Xuan chuckled, his tone revealing undisguised doting affection.
Mo Shisheng didn't answer again, and quietly returned to the Shangguan residence.
Shangguan Xuan got off the carriage first. When Mo Shisheng came out, she found that Shangguan Xuan had reached out his hand to her. "Jump down, I'll catch you."
"..."
Mo Shisheng's lips twitched slightly as she jumped down from the other side. "Childish."
Hearing this, Shangguan Xuan was not annoyed. A faint smile appeared on his handsome face. He raised his hand and ruffled Mo Shisheng's soft hair. "It's getting late. Yan'er, go and rest. You need to be well-rested for tomorrow's battle."
Mo Shisheng was annoyed and raised her hand to slap Shangguan Xuan's hand away, but he withdrew his hand first, and Mo Shisheng missed.
She glared coldly at Shangguan Xuan, "Don't give way to me tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll listen to whatever you say."
Shangguan Xuan answered softly, and the two walked into the mansion together.
Lan Yuan Pavilion and Zhu Yuan are in opposite directions. Shangguan Xuan insisted on escorting Mo Shisheng all the way to the entrance of Zhu Yuan. After dropping her off, he stood outside the garden and said, "Go and rest."
Without turning her head, Mo Shisheng strode into the bamboo garden, leaving Shangguan Xuan with only a cold and indifferent back view.
Standing there, Shangguan Xuan couldn't help but chuckle. But thinking about how his relationship with Mo Shisheng had improved somewhat today, a faint smile appeared on his lips.
Only after Mo Shisheng's figure had disappeared from sight did Shangguan Xuan turn around and walk towards Lanyuan Pavilion.
Upon returning to Lanyuan Pavilion, he glanced at the North Garden where Shangguan Qi resided, his gaze gradually turning cold.
Thinking of the results of his investigation at Chu Zhao Pavilion, a grim expression appeared on Shangguan Xuanjun's face. He wouldn't let anyone who had bullied her get away with it. What Shangguan Qi had done was enough to warrant her death a thousand times over!
