According to the original owner Shangguan Yan's memories, her mother was pregnant with her before she married her father Shangguan Zong. At that time, Shangguan Leiting disliked that her mother could not bring benefits to Shangguan Zong, so he "forced" her away and forbade her to step into the Shangguan Mansion.
Finally, when Shangguan Yan was six years old, Shangguan Zong disappeared. Shangguan Leiting only had this one son, so he led people to bring Shangguan Yan back to the Shangguan Mansion, forcibly separating her from her mother.
Shangguan Yan hated Shangguan Leiting, but Shangguan Yan was already dead, leaving only Mo Shisheng behind.
Her expression was calm. Since so much time had passed, when her gaze fell on Shangguan Leiting's aged face, Mo Shisheng forgave him on behalf of Shangguan Yan.
"..."
Upon hearing Mo Shisheng's words, Shangguan Leiting nearly burst into tears. "Yan'er, are you really willing to forgive me?"
"Grandpa, I'm tired."
Mo Shisheng smiled faintly at Shangguan Leiting, a slight curve to her lips.
"Alright, Grandpa will take you home to rest. Now that your meridians have recovered, Grandpa will definitely buy you the best medicine!" Shangguan Leiting wiped away his tears, his eyes reddening. He held Mo Shisheng's hand in his old hand and led her towards the front yard.
After returning to the courtyard, everyone was about to disperse when Mo Shisheng glanced at Shangguan Qi and said softly, "Cousin, please stay."
Shangguan Qi paused slightly as she was about to leave, her whole body stiffening and unable to move.
Seeing that Shangguan Qi ignored him, Shangguan Leiting put on a stern face and said in a deep voice, "Your sister asked you to come here, can't you hear her?"
"No, no... Grandpa, I..."
"Grandpa, you should go and rest first. I want to talk to my cousin." Mo Shisheng gently released her arm from Shangguan Leiting's and turned to walk towards the room behind Shangguan Qi. "Cousin, let's go."
"..."
Shangguan Qi's hands, hanging by her sides, clenched slightly, her nails digging into her palms, and she didn't move an inch.
Upon seeing this, Shangguan Leiting's expression darkened further. "Shangguan Qi, can't you hear your sister calling you?"
"Father, please don't be angry."
Seeing Shangguan Leiting's fury, Shangguan Murou quickly stepped forward to support him and whispered to Shangguan Qi, "Yan'er has had such a big incident. As her closest sister, you should naturally go and comfort her."
“Mother, but it’s her…”
Shangguan Qi felt a vague unease. She turned to look at Shangguan Murou, only to meet a pair of warning eyes.
Shangguan Murou's eyes held a warning. After glaring at Shangguan Qi, she said in a harsher tone, "Go now."
"yes."
Although Shangguan Qi was unwilling, she still clenched her hands and followed in the direction Mo Shisheng had left.
Why? Why? Why?!
Why is it that even though they are both of the Shangguan family bloodline, Shangguan Qi will always be suppressed under Shangguan Yan!
Why should she have to rely on pleasing Shangguan Yan and watching her expression to determine her status in the Shangguan family?
Shangguan Qi grew angrier the more she thought about it, and quickened her pace. "Shangguan Yan, just because you escaped this time doesn't mean you'll have good luck in the future! Since you're only at the second level of Qi Refining, you can just wait to die!"
...
As Mo Shisheng reached the room door, she caught a strange smell. She raised an eyebrow and said, "They actually used a 'bewitching' incense? Shangguan Qi really wants me dead."
