The second concubine was very flustered.
We haven't even entered the gate yet.
She hesitated at the door.
The flickering shadow on the ground was really affecting Guan Shuli's mood.
She sighed, her tone impatient, "You can think about it here by yourself, I'm going in."
Her face was in excruciating pain.
We need to quickly have the servants apply the medicinal herbs to her.
She tried to leave, but her mother grabbed her hand.
"No, no, you have Xiao Fuzi contact your father again and tell him that Guan Shuqing wants to break off the engagement with the Shen family. If you tell him that, he will definitely come back."
Who is Guan Yi?
His second wife lived with him for over twenty years.
She knew in her heart that even if he gave up his business outside today, he could not sever ties with the Shen family.
The Shen family, oh the Shen family, how many people would kill to get through their doorstep.
Guan Shuqing, what merit does she possess to be favored by Old Madam Shen?
"Oh, Mother, I'm going this afternoon. Can you let me rest for a bit?"
Unable to bear it any longer, Guan Shuli raised his head and glared at her.
The dense wounds and bruises came into the second concubine's view.
She exclaimed, "Oh my god, Shuli, what happened to your face?"
When I tried to touch her face, my fingertips barely touched her wound.
Guan Shuli immediately screamed, "Mother, don't touch it!"
She was in so much pain.
The second concubine's eyes were red. "What happened? You...were you beaten?"
"Yes, yes." Guan Shuli nodded. "He was beaten up by that idiot Feng Sheng's men."
Damn it, he has no sense of chivalry whatsoever.
What kind of man hits women?
"Waaaaah, Mother, it hurts so much!" Guan Shuli cried to her.
The second concubine frowned and asked her, "Tell me the truth, did you go gambling again?"
"I...I didn't!" Guan Shuli said guiltily.
The second concubine looked at her with a disappointed expression, saying, "Daughter, let me tell you, once you get hooked on gambling, you'll never have a chance to turn your life around."
Why can't she understand?
The second concubine felt heartbroken.
No matter what she said, Guan Shuli refused to admit it, saying, "Oh, Mother, I really didn't."
The second concubine still didn't believe it. "Then tell me, why would that guy have someone beat you up?"
"It's...it's just..."
"Speak!" His patience had reached its limit.
Guan Shuli was afraid that she would get angry, so he thought for a while before telling her the whole story.
The second concubine sneered upon hearing this, "He actually wants to be with Guan Shuqing?"
Ha, what a toad trying to eat swan meat!
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about her anymore." Guan Shuli felt uncomfortable just thinking about her being with Mr. A-Ling.
"I'm going to apply the medicine."
"Alright, go ahead." The second concubine looked at her with affection for a couple of seconds and then added, "Come to my room after you finish applying the medicine. I have something to discuss with you."
"OK."

It was late at night, and the wind was a bit strong in the backyard.
Rong Shang tossed and turned several times but still couldn't fall asleep, so she got up and closed the window.
Not long after, she heard faint footsteps coming from next door.
I opened the door and peered through the crack.
Just then, Guan Shuli walked towards the east wing with a lantern.
What is she doing so late?
Rong Shang decided to go and take a look.
Later, it was discovered that the second concubine had consulted with Guan Shuli about having someone secretly kill her.
Oh.
They're still looking for someone.
At first, Guan Shuli didn't know whether he lacked courage or had a slight pang of conscience.
She rejected the second concubine, telling her, "Murder is illegal."
