Hearing Mo Shisheng's words, Shangguan Xuan was not annoyed. A smile appeared on his handsome face as he leaned on the tree trunk behind Mo Shisheng. "Yan'er's personality has indeed changed a lot."
"..."
Mo Shisheng glanced at him lightly, "My brother has been fighting in the borderlands for many years. Anyone would change."
"Too."
Shangguan Xuan slowly withdrew his gaze, but there was a hint of scrutiny in his eyes. Mo Shisheng did not look at him, so she naturally did not notice the scrutiny in his eyes.
And so, the two stood quietly by the lake, neither of them uttering a word. After a long while, Shangguan Qi slowly walked over from another spot, and Fang Ruo held an oil-paper umbrella over her to shield her from the sun.
"So Big Brother and Yan'er are here. It's definitely much cooler by the lake." Shangguan Qi told Fang Ruo to wait aside, while she walked towards the tree where the two were standing.
Shangguan Xuan seemed to think there was no point in standing there, so he turned and left without saying a word to Shangguan Qi.
Mo Shisheng found it somewhat amusing; those who didn't know the situation might have assumed that the siblings had a very bad relationship.
Shangguan Qi seemed surprised that Shangguan Xuan would turn and leave so abruptly. Her brows furrowed slightly, but quickly relaxed. Her gaze fell gently on Mo Shisheng. "Yan'er, Mother asked me to come over. Eldest sister and third sister will be back tomorrow. You'll have to start calling us by our names, otherwise people won't be able to tell who you're calling."
“That’s true, after all, they are my cousins.” Mo Shisheng’s lips curled slightly, her eyelids drooping to conceal the sly glint in her eyes.
"..."
Sure enough, upon hearing Mo Shisheng's words, Shangguan Qi's hand tightened slightly, and she half-jokingly said, "Yan'er won't stop being close to me after Eldest Sister and Third Sister come back, will she?"
"Maybe."
Mo Shisheng gently raised her eyes, her eyes so clear that they seemed to see right through Shangguan Qi's thoughts. Shangguan Qi's heart suddenly tightened. "Yan'er, don't take it seriously. I was just joking with you."
"Me too."
"Acting? Anyone can do that," Mo Shisheng said with a slight smile. "I'm a little sleepy, so I won't keep Second Sister company. I'll go back and rest first."
Shangguan Qi's expression stiffened slightly. He nodded and watched Mo Shisheng walk past him. Suddenly, he said, "Yan'er, do you care about them? After all, they are not related to you by blood."
"Then thank you for reminding me, Second Sister."
Hearing Shangguan Qi's words behind her, Mo Shisheng paused slightly, a cold smile playing on her lips.
Yes, Shangguan Ying and Shangguan Xue are not related to her by blood, but so what? At least they never wanted Shangguan Yan to die.
Mo Shisheng's eyes flashed with coldness. What does blood relation matter? Shangguan Yan still died at the hands of you, Shangguan Qi.
As her anger grew stronger, Mo Shisheng took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.
Mo Shisheng returned to the Bamboo Garden and took Jiang Yao with him as they left the Shangguan Mansion. Perhaps because there were fewer people around at this time, there weren't many people coming and going in the market.
As soon as Mo Shisheng left the Shangguan residence, several frivolous young men surrounded her. The leader was dressed in expensive clothes and was not ugly, but his eyes were full of lewdness, which made people feel disgusted.
"Look, look, look, whose sister is this? Why does she have to cover her face when she goes out?" The man approached Mo Shisheng with a lewd expression.
