As expected, when Shangguan Murou heard Mo Shisheng mention the incident outside the capital, her eyes flickered slightly. However, as the legitimate eldest sister of the Shangguan family, she was used to all kinds of storms and quickly concealed her emotions.
"Yan'er, your aunt doesn't want to argue with you about who's right and who's wrong. The Galo Academy sent someone to tell you that Qi'er died at your hands. Doesn't your conscience hurt?"
Shangguan Murou was very clever. She seemed to have noticed that Mo Shisheng was acting strangely, so she immediately brought up the topic of Shangguan Qi again.
"My second sister is not dead, but her whereabouts are unknown. My aunt insists on pinning this unfounded crime on me, and I really can't bear it."
Mo Shisheng's tone carried a hint of impatience, "Since Jialuo Academy has sent someone to find out the situation, then Aunt must not know what happened."
"you……"
"Auntie, don't worry, I'll tell you and Grandpa the whole story in detail."
Mo Shisheng turned around and looked at Shangguan Leiting and Ming Beiya sitting in the main seat. "Grandpa, before what happened at Ming Academy, please let me finish what I was saying earlier."
At this moment, the old man who had been sitting in the main seat finally raised his head. His aged face looked even older. He nodded stiffly, "If Yan'er wants it, then so be it."
Upon seeing Shangguan Leiting's appearance, it was as if he had suddenly aged ten years, looking as if he had one foot in a coffin.
Mo Shisheng felt a tightness in her chest, a heavy feeling pressing down on her, making it hard to breathe. She suddenly remembered that no matter how vicious Shangguan Qi was, she was still Shangguan Leiting's biological granddaughter. Now that Shangguan Qi's whereabouts were unknown and her fate uncertain, he was clearly also grieving…
This realization made Mo Shisheng feel somewhat uncomfortable. Shangguan Leiting was genuinely good to her, but when she targeted Shangguan Qi, she never considered Shangguan Leiting's feelings...
"I have heard a little about what happened three months ago."
Just as Mo Shisheng was deciding whether to continue what had happened in the suburbs, a clear, deep voice rang out.
The voice was very pleasant to hear, and Mo Shisheng recognized the owner of the voice almost immediately. She looked at Ming Beiya with a hint of suspicion in her eyes, only to find that the devilishly handsome man was also looking at her.
His gaze held his usual haughtiness, exuding an air of nobility and elegance, but when he looked at Mo Shisheng, it carried a sharp edge.
It was this gaze that suddenly pulled Mo Shisheng back to reality. She chuckled inwardly, "Mo Shisheng, you're really getting worse as you get older."
When did you become so pathetic? You used to kill without batting an eye, but now you're just stating some facts and you're afraid Shangguan Leiting can't handle it.
Mo Shisheng lowered her eyes and glanced at her slender, fair hands. Quite a few lives had been lost on her hands, and much blood had stained them. When had she become so hesitant and indecisive?
Thinking of this, Mo Shisheng's expression grew even colder, and he slightly curled his lips, "The events that happened in the suburbs involve many things, so it is only natural that the Imperial Advisor has heard about them."
When Mo Shisheng brought up the matter of the suburbs, Shangguan Murou tensed up immediately. "Yan'er, the past is the past. Why do you keep bringing up Qi'er's current whereabouts? It's all your fault! Don't you have any conscience?"
