Shangguan Xuan: "..."
He frowned slightly, momentarily stunned. When he came to his senses, Ming Beiya had already carried Mo Shisheng into the Shangguan residence.
"Big brother, what are you thinking about?"
At this moment, Shangguan Qi was slowly helped by Fang Ruo to Shangguan Xuan's side. Her face was a little pale, clearly frightened by the speed at which Zhu Que had driven the carriage.
"nothing."
Shangguan Xuan replied casually and prepared to leave, but suddenly caught sight of the carriage Shangguan Qi was riding in out of the corner of his eye, and he paused. "You went back with the Imperial Advisor?"
"Hmm... the Imperial Advisor specially escorted me back..."
Upon hearing Shangguan Xuan's question, Shangguan Qi blushed and nodded shyly, which made her look a little better.
Shangguan Xuan, however, completely ignored her shy expression. He was only puzzled; Shangguan Qi and Ming Beiya couldn't possibly have any connection, unless…
Did he come for Yan'er?
A glimmer of possibility flashed through his mind, and when he thought back to how his knee had been hit by an unknown object when he got off the carriage, Shangguan Xuan's expression darkened.
Ming Beiya carried Mo Shisheng into the mansion, and Shangguan Leiting stepped forward. When he saw that Mo Shisheng was being held in Ming Beiya's arms, he was shocked and exclaimed, "Absolutely not! Please, Imperial Preceptor, put Yan'er down!"
"Need not."
Ming Beiya's tone was slightly cold as he spoke indifferently. Knowing where Mo Shisheng's Bamboo Garden was, Ming Beiya walked towards it with ease.
Shangguan Leiting tried to follow, but Zhuque blocked his way. "Master Shangguan, there's no need to worry. It's safe for the Imperial Advisor to take my sister back."
"The Imperial Preceptor's status is too noble, how can he..."
"Even the Imperial Advisor doesn't mind, so Master Shangguan needn't worry about it." Zhuque maintained her cold and hard tone, but she didn't budge an inch in Shangguan Leiting's path.
Shangguan Leiting sighed softly, wondering if getting involved with the Imperial Advisor was a good thing for Yan'er...
Why……
"Grandpa."
Shangguan Xuan walked slowly over, with Shangguan Qi being supported by Fang Ruo behind him. She also called out softly, "Grandpa."
Shangguan Leiting nodded and patted Shangguan Xuan on the shoulder with his large hand, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
"Grandpa, I'll go check on Yan'er first." Shangguan Xuan was worried about Mo Shisheng, who had been taken away by Ming Beiya. He said to Shangguan Leiting and then tried to go to the Bamboo Garden, but he ended up like Shangguan Leiting, being stopped by Zhuque.
"Now that you've finished your busy work, Young Master Shangguan should go back to your residence and get some rest. Our Imperial Advisor is taking care of my sister."
"Zhuque said coldly."
He was like a mother hen, worrying himself sick over his husband's happiness.
"..."
Shangguan Xuan remained silent, his eyes gleaming with a cold light as he looked at Zhuque. He pursed his lips slightly, unable to detect Zhuque's strength.
Even one of Ming Beiya's subordinates possessed unfathomable cultivation; just how powerful was this Imperial Preceptor?
The two stared at each other for half a century before Shangguan Xuan turned and left with a flick of his sleeve.
Shangguan Qi, meanwhile, obediently told Shangguan Leiting about how Mo Shisheng had arranged the marriage of the Fourth Prince Qi Yujin at the banquet that day, and how she had obtained the fennel grass.
Just when Shangguan Qi was waiting quietly for Shangguan Leiting to vent his anger after Mo Shisheng's outrageous behavior, he heard Shangguan Leiting's loud, energetic laughter beside him.
