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

Chapter 153: Such a ruthless person appeared in my Great Chu

"father……"

Shangguan Shu stepped over the threshold and walked in.

Zhao Ying looked over when she heard the voice, and their eyes met Shangguan Shu's in the air, and then they both looked away.

An awkward and tense atmosphere lingered between the two of them.

The old Duke still didn't notice, and was still smiling in surprise, "Today is really strange, could it be that the feng shui of my Ning'an Hall is good, so you two came here one by one."

Shangguan Shu glanced at Zhao Ying and seemed to have understood the purpose of Zhao Ying's visit. He was anxious to get back the wrong medicine and leave, but now... Shangguan Shu found a seat and sat down.

When Zhao Ying saw him sit down, he looked a little uncomfortable.

Shangguan Shu smiled and said, "What are Dad and His Highness talking about?"

The old Duke glanced at Zhao Ying and thought that since the two were husband and wife, there was nothing to hide, so he repeated what he had just said. Shangguan Shu laughed in agreement and glanced at Zhao Ying teasingly, saying, "They have been married for many years, but I haven't heard Your Highness mention it..."

Zhao Ying really couldn't stand Shangguan Shu's hypocritical behavior. They were obviously going to get divorced, so who was he doing this for?

Zhao Ying looked at Shangguan Shu with a serious face and asked, "Why did you come here?"

Shangguan Shu stopped smiling, pursed his lips, and looked at the old Duke, "Dad, you just went to my son's study and took a bottle of medicine, right?"

The old Duke nodded, "Yes, I took it."

Shangguan Shu said helplessly: "You got the wrong one."

He took out the black porcelain bottle from his pocket and handed it to the old Duke, "This is the bottle of medicine for the wound!"

The old Duke was probably a little embarrassed, and he frowned and complained, "Look at you, why did you put the medicine in the black bottle? Who would not think it was poison?"

Shangguan Shu was unwilling to refute, so he stepped forward and placed the medicine bottle on the table next to the old Duke, and said, "Dad, please return the wrong bottle of medicine to me. My son will find it useful."

Seeing this, the old Duke stood up and said, "Wait for me to bring you the medicine."

The old Duke went to get medicine, and only Zhao Ying and Shangguan Shu were left in the hall.

Zhao Ying thought that Shangguan Shu hadn't realized that she had stolen a bottle of medicine from him... but it seemed that she had stolen the wrong one... Shangguan Shu had mentioned that the red bottle contained the fake death medicine, and she had taken the green one out of the red and green parts. It wasn't a big deal if she had taken the wrong one, but what was scary was...

Zhao Ying remained silent.

Trying to ignore the burning gaze that fell on her...

The old Duke is back.

"Here you go!"

Shangguan Shu was so shocked when he saw the celadon bottle in the old Duke's hand that his eyes widened immediately. He blurted out, "You don't need this medicine, do you?"

The old Duke was really unhappy now.

Why is his son so stingy!

It was just a broken bottle of medicine, he took it by mistake, but he went out of his way to find it and asked for it back in front of his daughter-in-law... He has no respect for his face!

Now I’m afraid he will use it.

The old Duke said angrily: "It's useless!"

"You came looking for it right after I got it, so I didn't have time to use it!"

Shangguan Shu felt relieved upon hearing that, and he visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he took the celadon bottle and asked in confusion, "Dad, then you took this one. There is also a green bottle, but you didn't take it?"

The old Duke's eyes widened. As Zhao Ying was present, he couldn't hit Shangguan Shu. He suppressed his temper, swallowed the dirty words in his mouth, and said sarcastically, "Father... hehe... although I am old, I won't steal and eat!"

Shangguan Shu ignored the old Duke's medicine, and was wondering where his green bottle of antidote had gone...

Just then, a gentle female voice sounded.

"Is this it?" Zhao Ying said expressionlessly.

Shangguan Shu and the old Duke looked over when they heard the sound and saw Zhao Ying holding a green bottle in her hand.

Shangguan Shu: ...

Zhao Ying pretended to be calm, but in fact he was furious.

OMG, what is this bottle?

She stood up just to ask what was in the green bottle.

"I...sent someone to your study, and the maids probably took the wrong one..."

As soon as Shangguan Shu saw Zhao Ying's expression and considered her problem of not being able to distinguish between red and green... he roughly understood.

Then a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, which he tried his best to suppress.

The red bottle Zhao Ying wanted to take was right... That bottle contained the fake-death drug, and she wanted to use it on her father?

She had no intention of poisoning his father!

After realizing this, Shangguan Shu felt relieved and his breathing became more even.

He had long since disbelieved what Zhao Yao said. If Zhao Ying wanted to kill or poison someone, then the person she wanted to poison the most was him!

He didn't know the inside story. He originally thought Zhao Ying was trying to force him to divorce. But now...

Shangguan Shu stepped forward and took the medicine bottle from Zhao Ying. He glanced at Zhao Ying like a hook, then raised his chin sanctimoniously and said, "Your Highness, this is the bottle."

Zhao Ying asked, "What medicine is in the bottle?"

Shangguan Shu originally wanted to hide it from Zhao Ying, fearing that she would be jealous if she knew that he was going to give the medicine to Huai'an, but now, he inexplicably wanted to see her jealous.

He curled his lips slightly and said deliberately, "I heard that Princess Huai'an was not feeling well. I happened to have some wonderful medicine, so I'll send someone to deliver it to her right away."

Zhao Ying's heart sank.

This is not even a betrayal!!

The old Duke stared at Shangguan Shu in disbelief and shook his head repeatedly, thinking, is Shangguan Shu crazy?

He wanted to smooth things over for Shangguan Shu, and just as he was about to speak to Zhao Ying, he was interrupted by Zhao Ying.

Zhao Ying had a smile on her lips, her bright eyes were charming and beautiful, she said faintly: "Huai An doesn't lack medicine, but she lacks a father for her two children. It's a pity that men in the Central Plains are all smart and reserved, unlike some people who rush to be someone's cheap father."

Zhao Ying wanted to fan herself out of habit, but just as she raised her hand, she remembered that she didn't bring it with her today.

"This man is really... a jerk! He can't even afford the price increase!"

Shangguan Shu frowned and pursed his lips.

The old duke on the side, however, had his eyes lit up and started gossiping. He sat back down, half of his body leaning in front of Zhao Ying. While he was curious, he did not forget to observe the etiquette of an old man.

His voice was calm, but his eyes were bright.

"What does your Highness mean by this?"

"His Highness Huai'an... ahem... didn't she become a Buddhist? What? Did she regret it? She wants to find a stepfather for her child? There are actually people who want to be the stepfather for Zhao Ziyin and Zhao Zihua?"

"Who is this person?" Who is it? ?

Shangguan Shu: ...

Zhao Ying: ...

Zhao Ying sneered and curled her lips, saying sarcastically, "I don't even know this person's name, but I know that he already has a family and children, but he is still fickle and would rather risk the world's disapproval..."

When the old Duke heard that this man had a family, he was immediately furious. He slammed the table and said angrily: "How can this be! How can he not care about his wife and children when he already has a family and children? How can such a heartless man be born in our Great Chu?!"

"Your Highness, please wait a moment. I will write a memorial to report to Princess Huai'an!"
