Shangguan Zizhu frowned as she sized up Situ Miaoxuan." But I just don't understand. How can Shangguan Yahan be so smart? She's always the first to notice it and even knows that I did it…You said it yourself, you were the one who put the leech there. Why didn't she find you?"”
Situ Miaoxuan lowered her eyes and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly." If I were her, I would also suspect you. After all, you're the only one who's against her in the entire Prince's mansion.”
"Suspect? You're saying that she came here without any concrete evidence…Damn Shangguan Yahan, what should we do next? No matter what I do, she will suspect me. If I didn't do it, she will blame me. Doesn't that mean that I can't touch her?”Shangguan Zizhu gritted her teeth in anger, her gaze turning vicious bit by bit.
"That's why Sister should focus on recuperating first. Shangguan Yahan isn't so easy to deal with. We have to think of a flawless plan.”Situ Miaoxuan comforted Shangguan Zizhu a little more before she stood up and left.
As soon as they reached the garden, Shangguan Yahan came up to them.
"You've recovered? He could even visit? How was it? Was Shangguan Zizhu miserable? She must have scolded me, right?" Shangguan Yahan hopped over and asked with a smile.
Situ Miaoxuan also laughed out loud." If I don't scold you, why would I keep you? She hates you so much that she wants to kill you."
"You're right. She's been framing me for the past two days. But it's strange. Every time before she takes action, I'll receive a letter telling me all her plans. I suspect that there's a mole in Peony Garden.”Shangguan Yahan immediately regretted her words.
She couldn't stop her mouth and said everything.
"That's good. Even if Shangguan Zizhu goes to the heavens, she can't do anything to you. However, you've really hit a little too hard this time.”Situ Miaoxuan recalled Shangguan Zizhu's appearance just now and laughed again.
"She deserves it. She has to pay for what she did. Besides, compared to her dirty tricks, I'm very kind. You don't know how vicious she was when she put leeches in my blanket.”Shangguan Yahan knew what leeches were. Vampires were scary.
She was usually afraid of those little bugs. If she slept with them every day…Eh, just thinking about it made her unable to take it.
In the next few days, Shangguan Zizhu was considered peaceful. She didn't know if it was because Shangguan Yahan was beaten by her, but since Shangguan Zizhu had stopped, she felt a little better.
It wasn't that she was afraid of Shangguan Zizhu. It was just that this kind of thing was new and fresh. Once it happened more, she would get impatient. Did she really think that she liked to fight in the palace or at home?
It was almost the beginning of the new year, and it was getting closer and closer to her departure. Shangguan Yahan hadn't received much silver yet.
On this day, Shangguan Jue sent Shangguan Shangxuan to visit Shangguan Yahan. She just remembered that there was still such a thing. The last time Shangguan Shangxuan came over and asked her to go home often, she agreed, but she forgot about it.
This time, she also agreed and returned to the Prime Minister's residence the next day. She went back by herself.
The day before, when she spoke to Sage Ye, Sage Ye didn't say anything else. He only said that he wanted to accompany her back, but Shangguan Yahan refused.
Actually, she also wanted to know what Shangguan Jue was planning. If Sage Ye went, Shangguan Jue would definitely not say anything.
After arriving at the Prime Minister's residence, Shangguan Jue was unusually enthusiastic. Shangguan Yahan didn't know how he treated the original Shangguan Yahan, but she heard that he didn't care about her at all. So now, when she saw Shangguan Jue's old face full of wrinkles, she felt uncomfortable.
"Yahan, come. I heard from your brother that you're coming back today and specially asked the servants to make some of your favorite pastries.”Shangguan Jue pushed six or seven plates of various desserts on the table towards Shangguan Yahan.
"No need. I came over after eating at home.”Shangguan Yahan smiled politely.
She did not trust Shangguan Jue at all. Who knew if he would poison these things?
Therefore, she had decided to come here today. She would just chat and not eat and drink.
Shangguan Jue laughed awkwardly." Yahan, do you still hate me for what happened last time?"”
"Last time? Last time what? I don't remember." Shangguan Yahan also chuckled, acting as if she had lost her memory.
Shangguan Jue nodded immediately." That's good, that's good. Actually, I didn't call you back for anything. I just wanted to see you. You know, when people get old, they want their children by their side.”
"I know this. Shangguan Shangxuan said it last time, but I forgot about it because there were too many things later.”Shangguan Yahan couldn't call Shangguan Shangxuan brother, so she called him by his full name.
Shangguan Jue was stunned for a moment. He knew that she was still angry, but he immediately laughed again. He took out the silver notes from his sleeve and placed them in front of Shangguan Yahan." Last time, I asked your brother to give you these 10,000 taels of silver notes, but you didn't take it. This time, I'm giving it to you personally, so you have to take it. This is a small token of my appreciation."”
Shangguan Yahan raised her eyebrows and looked at the silver notes on the table. She didn't accept them, but she didn't reject them.”
"What are you talking about? How can a father give his daughter money? Father treated you so badly in the past…Hai, Father just wants to compensate you. I know that ten thousand silver is nothing, but I still hope that you can accept it.”Shangguan Jue's regretful expression made Shangguan Yahan want to vomit.
"Since daddy doesn't want to ask your daughter for help, then your daughter will accept it. I can't reject daddy's good intentions, right? However, your daughter must say something ugly first. Your daughter, I, really don't have much ability.”Shangguan Yahan smiled as she placed the silver notes in her hand, feeling very pleased.
He had earned ten thousand taels in one go. He did not have to worry about it in his next life. He did not expect this old man to be so generous. Shangguan Yahan looked at the official and smiled sweetly.
Even if this old man wanted to use these 10,000 cars to ask her for help in the future, she would have already gone far away by then. She would not let him find her.
Therefore, seeing that his ten thousand taels had gone down the drain, it was only right to give him a sincere smile.
When they went back in the afternoon, the Sage Yan was also there. When he saw Shangguan Yahan, he kept pestering her, asking her to cook something delicious for dinner. He said that he hadn't eaten her food for a long time, and he was drooling.
Shangguan Yahan happily agreed.
Sage Ye could also tell. After returning to the Prime Minister's residence, she was beaming with joy.
"Is there anything good? Why are you so happy? Tell me about it." Sage Ye's lips unconsciously curved upwards, his soft and warm gaze falling directly on Shangguan Yahan's smile.
Shangguan Yahan giggled," That old man gave me a banknote worth 10,000 carriages today. I'm rich."”As she spoke, she took out the silver notes and waved them in the air.
"Does Yahan 'er lack money? Why didn't you tell Brother Ye?" Sage Ye looked at Shangguan Yahan's money-grubbing appearance and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Shangguan Yahan put away the silver notes and paused," Well…it's not that I'm short of money now, I'm just thinking about my future plans. Who knows how long you can keep treating me well?" What if you change your mind in the future and chase me out? How am I going to live without a single cent? So if you have money now, give me some. If you don't change your mind in the future, I'll return it to you.”
Sage Ye felt that her logic was logical, but it sounded awkward no matter how he listened to it. He cleared his throat and said unhappily," Brother Ye said that he would love you forever, and he meant it. You don't have to worry about this.”
Seeing that Sage Ye was angry, Shangguan Yahan snorted and ignored him. She turned to Sage Yan and said," Sage Yan, your brother is so stingy. If he doesn't want to give me money, he can just say so. He even found such a high-sounding excuse. He really knows how to be a good person."”
Sage Ye felt like his lungs were about to explode from anger. He slammed the table and stood up." You can take any silver you want. The entire Imperial Residence is yours. Why do you have to ask me for it?”
"Aiyo, are you really angry? I was just joking. Do you have to do that?”Shangguan Yahan couldn't help rolling her eyes.
However, she did have an idea when Sage Ye said that the entire Imperial Residence was hers. Since the Imperial Residence was hers, would Sage Ye listen if she chased him out?
"Um…is what you said true? You…gave the Imperial Residence to me?" Shangguan Yahan stood up and walked to Sage Ye's side, tilting her head to look at him.
Sage Ye looked at her coldly and suddenly had a bad feeling. He was on guard." What do you want?”
"Nothing, I was just asking. You two talk. I'll go to the kitchen and make a big meal for you guys tonight.”Shangguan Yahan swallowed the question she was about to ask.
Forget it. She should not covet the Prince's mansion. It was better to go far away. So, she should not make Sage Ye angry now. If he did not give her money when she asked him for it, she would be dumbfounded.
Sage Ye looked at Shangguan Yahan's back, which was as smug as a monkey, and couldn't speak smoothly.
He had a feeling that the little bastard was planning something.
Shangguan Yahan entered the kitchen, and all the old women in the room immediately bowed to her. She waved her sleeve and got them to stand up," It's okay, you guys go ahead with your work. I just came to see what ingredients are there, and I'll prepare dinner."”
She walked around the kitchen and was immediately inspired. She made a prompt decision and made a boiled pork slice, a braised fish, a twice-cooked pork, and a few stir-fried vegetables.
It's not good to eat too much at night.
During dinner, Xian Shengyan looked at the few dishes on the table and was a little unhappy. He frowned and complained to Xian Shengye," Seventeenth Brother, Seventeenth Sister-in-law is really good at keeping the house. She only serves these few dishes to the guests."”
"Do you want me to die of exhaustion? Why are these vegetables not enough for you? It's already good enough that I made it for you. Why do you have to talk so much nonsense? If you don't want to eat, then get lost!”Shangguan Yahan knocked her chopsticks on the bowl and rolled her eyes at the Sage.
Xian Shengyan immediately giggled." Seventeenth sister-in-law, you're still talking about Brother Seventeenth? I was just joking. You don't have to be serious. Seventeenth sister-in-law personally cooked for me. I'm so happy."”
Shangguan Yahan raised her chin to the side and snorted," I'm only cooking because you're Little Ye's younger brother. Don't think too highly of yourself."”
"Little Ye?" Sage Ye was a little confused. He looked at his seventeenth brother and exclaimed in realization.
Sage Ye's mouth twitched.
Shangguan Yahan's words made him not know if he should be happy or not. She said that she was happy because of him, but when she called him Little Ye, he really couldn't be happy. He could only glare at the Sage Yan and said sternly," Hurry up and eat."”
After dinner, Xian Shengyan slipped away without even drinking his tea. Shangguan Yahan had been calling his Seventeenth Brother 'Little Ye' over and over again during dinner. His Seventeenth Brother's face was so dark that it was almost dripping with water. He was afraid that if he didn't leave now, he would be implicated.
