Chapter 450
Shangguan Ziling packed up the surgical tools in the room and put them into the space, then turned around and slowly opened the door.
Beichen Xue waited anxiously outside the door. When she saw Shangguan Ziling coming out, she immediately went forward and asked with concern, "Ziling, how is your brother? Is he okay?"
Shangguan Ziling smiled slightly and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, mother. The operation was successful."
Although Beichen Xue had only a vague understanding of the word "surgery", her worries were slightly relieved when she saw the relaxed look on Shangguan Ziling's face. She gently patted Shangguan Ziling's hand and said repeatedly, "That's good, that's good."
At this time, Yun Youyou also wanted to go into the room to visit Shangguan Zirun, but was stopped by Shangguan Ziling.
Yun Youyou said somewhat dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing? I just want to go in and see Zirun without disturbing his rest."
Shangguan Ziling glanced at her indifferently: "You can't go in now."
Yun Youyou was even more dissatisfied when she heard this. She angrily retorted, "I just want to stay with him without disturbing him. Why don't you let me in?"
Shangguan Ziling ignored her anger and said calmly: "I will watch over my brother tonight."
Yun Youyou became even angrier when she heard this. She pointed at Shangguan Ziling and said, "You are just his sister, and I am his wife. Why can you stay with him but I can't?"
Beichen Xue saw the two arguing and quickly stepped forward to persuade them: "Zi Ling, you are pregnant, why don't you go back and rest. Your mother is here."
Shangguan Ziling shook her head and explained, "Mom, I have to watch over my brother tonight. He just had surgery and I'm afraid he'll get an infection and fever in the middle of the night. If I watch over him, we can handle any problems in time."
Beichen Xue looked at Shangguan Ziling's determined eyes and was touched. She knew that although her daughter was young, she had superb medical skills. With her around, her son would definitely be able to get through this safely. Even Ziling herself was pregnant, and keeping watch would probably not be good for her health.
Mo Shaoxie had been standing silently by the side. Seeing Beichen Xue's worried expression, he said calmly, "Don't worry, mother-in-law. I will accompany Ling'er to take care of Zirun."
Shangguan Dong also said in a deep voice: "Then I'll have to trouble the Regent."
Shangguan Ziling and Mo Shaoxie entered the room and closed the door.
Yun Youyou stood outside the door, her eyes flashing with gloom. She looked at Beichenxue, her lips moving as if she wanted to say something, but was suppressed by the anger and unwillingness in her heart.
Beichen Xue glanced at her, with no expression on her face, and simply ordered: "Come here, help the young lady to sleep in the west wing."
Several maids came over after hearing the noise. They ignored Yun Youyou's struggle and resistance and helped her walk towards the west wing. Yun Youyou's eyes were full of anger and unwillingness. She struggled hard, trying to break free from the maids' restraints, but she was powerless and could only let them do whatever they wanted.
Beichen Xue watched all this coldly, feeling disgusted. She had long been dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law, and now she felt that she was being unreasonable and ungrateful. She thought to herself, "Humph! I really want to kick her out."
Shangguan Dong watched from the side with a frown on his face. Yun Youyou's actions today were indeed a bit excessive. As elders, they should not easily interfere in the affairs of the younger generation. He sighed and shook his head, saying, "This Yun girl is getting more and more outrageous."
Beichen Xue's face turned even uglier when she heard this. She snorted coldly, "So what if she's outrageous? Do we really have to indulge her?"
Shangguan Dong said in a deep voice: "Madam, let's wait until our son's injury is healed and let him make his own decision. After all, she is his own daughter-in-law, so we can't interfere too much."
"Don't interfere. If we don't intervene, she will kill her son. General Yun had an accident before. We felt sorry for her. She lost her father and the baby in her belly. How aggressive was she and the people in the general's mansion to Zi Ling at that time? Didn't we turn a blind eye to it?"
"Hey! Madam, let's go back and not disturb them." Shangguan Dong pointed into the room.
Beichen Xue was still dissatisfied after hearing this, but she also knew that Shangguan Dong was right. She could only suppress her anger temporarily and wait for her son's injury to improve before making any plans.
The night wind blew gently, and the lights of Shangguan Mansion swayed in the night.
After Yun Youyou was helped into the room, she lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling with lifeless eyes. Her heart was filled with resentment and unwillingness, but she had no place to vent.
But when Mo Shaoxie and Shangguan Ziling were in the room, it was a different scene.
Shangguan Ziling took out a small and exquisite couch from the space she carried with her and lay down on it gently.
She didn't even want to look at the small couch in the room, let alone lie on it.
Once upon a time, she and Yun Youyou had a close relationship, like sisters. They talked about everything and were very close. However, now, as good as they were, they now hated each other.
This change in emotion made her feel repulsed by everything in the room.
Mo Shaoxie sat aside, looking at Shangguan Ziling tenderly. He said softly, "Ling'er, go to sleep. I'll stay here. If anything happens, I'll wake you up immediately." His voice was deep and magnetic, making people feel at ease.
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Ziling turned her head and looked at Shangguan Zirun lying on the bed.
She nodded gently and said to Mo Shaoxie, "Mo Shaoxie, thank you. I feel much more at ease with you around." After that, she closed her eyes, began to adjust her breathing, and prepared to fall asleep.
She was indeed a little tired and fell asleep soon.
Mo Shaoxie looked at Shangguan Ziling's gradually calming face, and a ripple appeared in his heart.
As the night deepened, the moonlight shone through the window into the house, creating mottled shadows. Shangguan Ziling lay on the couch, breathing evenly and slowly.
Mo Shaoxie sat quietly, his eyes always fixed on her.
In the second half of the night, the moonlight shines through the thin curtains, sprinkling mottled light on every corner of the house.
Mo Shaoxie slowly stood up, his eyes flashing a deep light in the night, and he stood up and walked to the bed.
The person on the bed lay quietly, breathing steadily. Mo Shaoxie reached out his hand and gently touched the person's forehead. Feeling that the temperature under his palm was normal, he withdrew his hand.
He turned and walked towards the small couch in the room, sat down slowly, and looked at his Ling'er with gentle eyes. She was sleeping soundly, and Mo Shaoxie had a smile on his face.
He gently stroked her belly through the thin blanket, his eyes full of tenderness.
Mo Shaoxie withdrew his hand, sat there, and closed his eyes to rest.
