Chapter 261
Beichen Xue gently patted Shangguan Ziling's hand, glared at him and said, "Shangguan Dong, how do you talk like that?" There was a hint of blame and dissatisfaction in her eyes.
Shangguan Dong looked at Beichen Xue and responded in a slightly stiff tone: "Madam, you were away for these years, and I failed to teach Zi Ling well. Look at what she is doing now?" His words revealed a hint of self-blame and regret.
After listening to Shangguan Dong's words, Beichen Xue sighed softly, and then said slowly: "Yes, you have been a noble official for these years. You are incorruptible. You are the prime minister, but you are still so poor. Also, you have to listen to Zi Ling's reason!" She believed in her daughter and felt that she would not do this for no reason.
Shangguan Dong couldn't help feeling a little ashamed after hearing what his wife said.
Shangguan Ziling saw this, she looked at Shangguan Dong and Beichen Xue, and slowly said: "Dad, Mom, let me tell you, it's actually like this..."
Shangguan Ziling told everything about Qian Duoduo.
After listening to his sister's explanation, Shangguan Zirun laughed out loud and said, "Sister, you are amazing! You are really a rip-off. One of your medicines is so expensive?" His laughter was full of ridicule and mockery.
Shangguan Ziling smiled slightly and said, "Brother, although my medicine is expensive, I didn't force you to buy it. She snatched it from me, so the Qian family has to pay the price. Besides, who says the Qian family is Jun Yaotian's purse? I can only say that the Qian family deserves to meet me!" There was a hint of pride and confidence in her words.
Shangguan Dong frowned after hearing his daughter's words. He said in a deep voice, "What about Duke Fu's Mansion?"
Shangguan Ziling was stunned. She really admired her father's brain. When she talked about this, she could also associate it with the previous theft in Duke Fu's mansion. She coughed lightly and said, "They deserved it. Who asked that Fu Lei to be lustful by nature and do evil things by relying on their relationship with the Queen's mother's family."
Shangguan Zirun listened to his sister's words and said with a smile: "Sister, if that's the case, I won't be polite to you. I'll accept all of these."
Shangguan Ziling smiled slightly when she heard this and said, "Brother, you don't have to be polite to me."
Beichen Xue looked at her husband and said unhappily, "Don't be so old-fashioned. It's useless to refuse them. Besides, they are not good people either."
Shangguan Dong glanced at her and said, "Madam, a gentleman has his own ways of doing things and his own ways of not doing things."
Beichen Xue continued to insist, "That's all bullshit. Zi Ling is robbing the rich to help the poor, and I think that's great! Besides, Zi Ling is not a gentleman, she's a woman."
Shangguan Ziling couldn't help laughing when she heard this. She loved her mother so much. She was very tolerant of her and stood by her without hesitation even though she knew she was doing bad things.
Shangguan Dong glanced at her and Shangguan Ziling immediately stopped smiling.
Suddenly, Mo Shaoxie pushed the door and walked in.
When they saw this, they were all shocked and stood up and saluted Mo Shaoxie.
Mo Shaoxie waved his hand slightly and said, "You're welcome. We are all family."
Mo Shaoxie turned his gaze to Shangguan Dong and said, "If father-in-law wants to blame someone, then blame me. Everything Ling'er did was allowed by me, and I took her there personally."
Shangguan Dong heard what Mo Shaoxie said, and the corner of his mouth twitched, and he quickly said: "How dare this old minister blame the Regent?"
Mo Shaoxie smiled faintly and said, "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, there is no need to be restrained. I am here to pick up Ling'er."
Beichen Xue looked at the way Mo Shaoxie looked at his daughter and smiled knowingly. She said softly, "Regent, Zi Ling is a child of a different temperament. Please bear with her."
Mo Shaoxie looked at Shangguan Ziling affectionately, and said to Beichen Xue: "Mother-in-law, Ling'er is fine."
Mo Shaoxie chatted with them for a while before he and Shangguan Ziling returned to her previous courtyard for a nap.
Mo Shaoxie held her hand, walked through the familiar corridor, and returned to the Jiangzi Courtyard.
Since she got married, this courtyard has remained the same as it was, and someone cleans the crimson courtyard every day.
Shangguan Ziling lay on the familiar couch, looking at Mo Shaoxie, and said, "Aren't you busy recently? How come you have time to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to pick me up today?"
Mo Shaoxie sat beside her, gently holding her hand, and said, "I have been investigating the Nan family's affairs recently. I suspect that Jun Yaoqi's rebellion was instigated by the Nan family. I just found a clue, but it was broken. When I came back and learned that you came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, I came to find you."
Shangguan Ziling frowned after hearing his words and said, "Nan family?" She remembered the scene when she was removing the sleepiness Gu.
Mo Shaoxie touched her face and said softly, "Ling'er, be careful when you go out. You must bring secret guards with you. I am afraid that the Nan family will find you. The information the secret guards have found basically confirms that some people from the Nan family slipped through the net that year, but they are very cunning and we have not been able to find their whereabouts."
Shangguan Ziling smiled softly and said, "Why would they look for me? Even if they did, I wouldn't be afraid. At most, I would just find bugs disgusting."
Mo Shaoxie couldn't help but sneer after hearing her words: "My father personally led the troops to encircle and suppress them. If they want revenge, they will definitely come to me. I'm afraid they won't come, but I'm worried about you."
Shangguan Ziling snuggled gently in Mo Shaoxie's arms and said, "Don't worry about me, I know. If they dare to come, I'll let them see, are their bugs more powerful? Or is my poison more powerful?" There was a playfulness and wit in her words that made Mo Shaoxie laugh.
Mo Shaoxie gently hugged Shangguan Ziling, their breathing gradually synchronized, and they fell asleep.
When Shangguan Ziling woke up, she found that Mo Shaoxie was no longer around. She got up gently and walked out, only to see Qiu Kui waiting outside the door.
Qiu Kui saw that she had woken up and asked respectfully, "Princess, are you awake?"
Shangguan Ziling nodded and asked softly, "Where is Mo Shaoxie?"
Qiu Kui replied, "The prince went to the study in the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Shangguan Ziling listened, said "Oh" softly, and went back to her room. She sat in front of the dressing table, looking at herself in the mirror, Qiu Kui carefully combed her long hair.
After finishing her makeup, Shangguan Ziling went to her mother Beichen Xue's yard.
Beichen Xue was doing needlework. When she saw her daughter coming, a gentle smile appeared on her face.
Shangguan Ziling sat next to her mother and talked to her.
Time like this always passes quickly, and before I knew it it was already evening.
Shangguan Ziling and Mo Shaoxie had dinner before leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion.
They rode in a carriage, passed through the busy streets, and returned to the Regent's Palace.
After returning to the palace, the two walked into the bedroom together. Shangguan Ziling leaned on Mo Shaoxie's shoulder and asked softly, "What did you say to my father in the study today?"
Mo Shaoxie hugged her gently and said, "Nothing."
"Tsk, let's just forget about it."
Mo Shaoxie scratched her nose lovingly.
