After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

Chapter 188 Wei Fu's Provocation

Shangguan Shu turned around and looked at her in confusion.

Zhao Yao was unable to speak and said, "My mother was banished to the cold palace because she offended Sister Ying. My father has already ordered me to leave the palace on a chosen day..."

"You know I don't have a house in Beijing, and Jinghui Temple has also been burned down..."

Zhao Yao looked at him hopefully. "If you don't want me to live in your Xi Garden and you're worried about what people would say, then Yingjie's Qian Garden just so happens to be empty. I can..."

"no!"

Shangguan Shu rejected it decisively, his brows furrowed and his face gloomy.

When Zhao Yao heard this, she felt embarrassed for a moment, and then she became even more resentful towards Zhao Ying.

This must be Zhao Ying's method...pretending to refuse but actually welcoming?

Now that she's gone, doesn't Shangguan Shu miss her even more?

Bitch!

Shangguan Shu was silent for a while, then said calmly, "Don't worry, I will ask His Majesty to forgive your mother, and... I will also bring up the matter of Xue'er being crowned a princess again."

Zhao Yao's eyes lit up when he heard this.

She thought that Shangguan Shu still cared about her. He must have been furious last time because he knew she had killed his child, and that was why he treated her like that!

She didn't believe that Shangguan Shu had no feelings for her after all these years!

As long as she had this, she had the confidence to win his heart back!

Not only was Zhao Yao happy, Hu Yanxue also calmed down after hearing this, and looked at Shangguan Shu lovingly, and was moved again...

"Then I would like to thank Runlang first..."

Shangguan Shu didn't answer and left without looking back.

Shangguan Shu walked slowly to Qian Garden.

Several maids and servants were packing things and preparing to send them to the princess's mansion.

Shangguan Shu withdrew the people and looked at the empty yet familiar house.

Deep in my heart, I felt as if a freezing rain was falling.

After going around in circles, everything is back to the starting point.

But his heart seemed unable to return.

Shangguan Shu found a random chair and sat down, raised his head, and covered his eyes with the back of his hand.

Zhao Ying... Zhao Ying...

Don't lie to me...don't lie to me...

Shangguan Shu suddenly stood up, went to the study, and called the secret guard.

"Master, what's the matter?"

Shangguan Shu handed him a secret letter and said, "Send it to General Huang as fast as you can."

"Yes!"

As soon as the secret guard left, a notification came from the door.

"General Wei Fu has arrived!"

Shangguan Shu narrowed his eyes. Wei Fu, what is he here for?

When Shangguan Shu came over, Butler Qian was dealing with Wei Fu and several generals. Butler Qian wanted them to go into the hall and wait, but Wei Fu waved his hand, "No need, who wants to enter your humble house!"

Butler Qian: ...

Shangguan Shu changed into a long robe of moon-white with blue and white patterns, a belt of the same color with a gold-threaded thundercloud pattern, and a towering green jade crown. He looked like a god under the clear breeze and bright moon. He walked slowly with one hand behind his back, and his sharp eyes swept over Wei Fu. Seeing his face that had been battered by wind and frost and had not yet recovered, his heart sank.

Then he smiled faintly and asked, "General Wei, what can I do for you?"

Wei Fu snorted disdainfully, secretly cursing "slutty peacock" in his heart, then he became serious and took out the imperial edict, "Your Majesty has an order!"

Shangguan Shu and everyone else knelt down to receive the order.

Wei Fu said in a clear voice: "The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that the Tibetan hostage is humble and intelligent, and is regarded as a distinguished guest of our Great Chu. I have ordered Shangguan Aiqing to teach him a lesson and comfort him, and I have fulfilled my duty as a host!"

Shangguan Shu was puzzled, but still accepted the order.

Standing up, a handsome foreign boy walked towards him and said with a smile, "Thank you, my Lord."

Shangguan Shu thought for a moment and knew that the young man in front of him was probably the Tibetan hostage mentioned in the imperial edict.

Shangguan Shu exchanged a few pleasantries and then asked Butler Qian to arrange accommodation for him. Butler Qian left with the imperial edict and Jiang Cheng.

Shangguan Shu's amiable face suddenly turned cold, and he glanced at Wei Fu calmly, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Wei Fu raised his eyebrows, "I heard that you asked my sister Ying to divorce you?"

Shangguan Shu's eyes widened with anger, and he shouted in a deep voice, "What does our affair have to do with you? Besides, we are just getting divorced amicably."

Wei Fu sneered, "All the same..."

"Everything is the same?!"

Wei Fu ignored him and asked calmly, "So...Princess Huai'an is really here with you?"

Shangguan Shu did not answer.

That's the default.

Wei Fu nodded expressionlessly, and then whispered to the generals behind him: "Brothers, smash it!"

"it is good!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of big men rolled up their sleeves and were about to smash it. Shangguan Shu shouted, "How dare you!"

The generals stopped for a moment and looked at Wei Fu.

Shangguan Shu sneered, his eyes full of anger, "Wei Fu, are you crazy? You want to destroy my Zhenguo Mansion? Do you think your military merits are a golden ticket to immunity from death?!"

Wei Fu was not to be outdone, gnashing his teeth in hatred, "I don't know if I'll be spared or not, but if this gets out of hand, Sister Ying will plead for me!"

Shangguan Shu stiffened when he heard this.

I felt so much hatred in my heart.

Wei Fu knows how to poke people where it hurts with his mouth!

He says whatever he hates to hear the most.

Shangguan Shu's demeanor and self-restraint collapsed in an instant. He stepped forward and grabbed Wei Fu's collar, whispered a smile into his ear, and threatened with gritted teeth, "Are you looking for death?"

Wei Fu stared at him for a long while, then suddenly burst into laughter and said provocatively: "Why would I seek death? I have been waiting for more than ten years, and finally I have separated from you. How can I bear to die?"

Shangguan Shu clenched his fists and the faint smile on the corners of his lips disappeared.

A chill spread throughout his body, and his eyes shone with silent murderous intent.

He slowly loosened his grip, and Wei Fu felt his sanity returning, but suddenly grabbed his hand back.

Keep provoking.

"You have never been a good match for Yingmei. You don't understand her, and you don't know her! I am the only one in the world who understands her best!"

"Shangguan Shu, today His Majesty asked me what I wanted. Guess I would exchange it for my military merits..." Wei Fu's eyes and eyebrows were full of malice.

Although Shangguan Shu tried hard to tell himself that Wei Fu was trying to provoke him... Over the years, he had suffered a lot from Wei Fu, and had been tricked by Wei Fu with his despicable tricks. He hated him so much that at this moment, he even wanted to skin him to pieces.

What would he ask for?

Asking for marriage?

Shangguan Shu was out of breath and his vision went dark. He recovered himself, waved his hand away, raised his leg and kicked Wei Fu hard in the abdomen.

The generals exclaimed when they saw this.

Wei Fu, a tough guy, fell to the ground like a paper man.

He even vomited blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Wei Fu, do you dare to ask for a try?!"

Just as Shangguan Shu finished speaking, there was a commotion at the door, which sounded like the arrival of a royal procession.

Shangguan Shu's heart sank.

Wei Fu laughed softly, and the blood at the corner of his mouth added a bit of evil charm to him.

Soon, the eunuch's shrill voice pierced the night.

"Princess Cheng Qian is here!"

Wei Fu looked at Shangguan Shu, his eyes full of pride.

"I didn't expect Sister Ying to arrive so timely!"

"Is it my good fortune that has come?"
