Shangguan Zizhu was trembling in fear. She looked at Situ Miaoxuan and secretly gritted her teeth. She braced herself and said," Your Highness, the Venerable One said…that the female ghost was actually someone who was pretending to be a ghost. As for the person who was pretending to be a ghost…Your Highness, you'll know once you send someone to search the entire residence."”
Shangguan Zizhu was thinking that Situ Miaoxuan was involved in everything. If she told the truth, it would not benefit her.
However, if she had been secretly helping Shangguan Yahan, Shangguan Yahan would definitely speak up for her. If Shangguan Yahan spoke up, Sage Ye would definitely not do anything to her.
She could only blame herself for believing Situ Miaoxuan so easily back then. But now, she would die if she said it or not. She might as well take a gamble.
Sage Ye looked coldly at Shangguan Zizhu and lazily blinked. He turned to Shangguan Yahan and asked," Yahan 'er, what do you think?”
Shangguan Yahan met Sage Ye's gaze. They were all smart people, so she believed that Sage Ye already knew what was going on. She glanced at Shangguan Zizhu and coldly snorted,"I don't think there's a need to search inside and out. Didn't that mage say that this princess was playing tricks?" Then let's do it this way. We'll just search this princess 'Lianxiang Residence…and Shangguan's Peony Garden.”
Shangguan Zizhu was stunned. She quickly raised her head and looked at Situ Miaoxuan. Her heart was in a mess as if it could jump out of her mouth at any moment.
Xu Hanyan suddenly climbed up and knelt at Sage Ye's feet." Your Highness, I'll tell you the truth. There was no ghost at all. It was Secondary Consort Shangguan who asked me to play along with her act. Secondary Consort Shangguan used my family to threaten me. Your Highness, you must stand up for me."”
"Wangye, this commoner was also instructed by Shangguan's Secondary Consort to say that the person pretending to be a ghost was wangfei. This commoner deserves to die, this commoner deserves to die.”The mage also made a sound at this time, kowtowing and begging for mercy, his entire body trembling.
Shangguan Yahan and Situ Miaoxuan looked at each other. They looked at the two of them who were trying to protect themselves, then at Shangguan Zizhu, who was already scared stiff. She shook her head.
"Your…Your Highness, it's not like that…There's also her, Fourth Madam, she's also involved. Your Highness, Fourth Madam is the mastermind, Your Highness.”Shangguan Zizhu finally reacted. She crawled to Sage Ye's feet and pointed at Situ Miaoxuan.
Shangguan Yahan frowned, looking at Shangguan Zizhu's twisted face. That was the fear that only people would have when facing death, and also the struggle that only people would have when facing death.
Sage Ye looked at Situ Miaoxuan in disbelief. Just as Situ Miaoxuan was about to get up, Shangguan Yahan stopped her." I will tell him, Your Highness. You should already know everything about this Shangguan Secondary Consort.”
Sage Ye's eyes turned cold and ruthless. He kicked Shangguan Zizhu away.
Shangguan Zizhu was sent far away by the force of Sage Ye's kick. She stood up and suddenly heard Sage Ye's deep and ghostly voice." Today, I'll give you a white silk. You can solve it yourself."”
"No, wangye, this concubine begs you, wangye, this concubine is doing this because this concubine loves you too much. This concubine doesn't want to lose you.”Shangguan Zizhu's face was as clear as water. Her pale little face had long lost its usual allure. Under the washing of her tears, traces of sorrow could be seen everywhere.
She crawled toward Sage Ye again, her voice fragmented and filled with panic.
Shangguan Yahan looked at Sage Ye's cold and handsome face, and the sadness swept through her heart. She suddenly stood up and walked over. She lowered her gaze to look at Shangguan Zizhu and said in a faint voice," Your Highness…can you spare her life?”
Shangguan Yahan felt that if Shangguan Zizhu died today, then the Shangguan siblings would die because of her.
Of course, the truth was that they had brought this upon themselves, but she still felt a little guilty towards Shangguan Qingcang. If it weren't for their relationship, Sage Ye wouldn't have hated him to the point of killing him.
Therefore, she would speak up for Shangguan Zizhu to resolve the grudge between her and the Shangguan family. From now on, they would mind their own business.
However, if Shangguan Zizhu continued to oppose her in the future, she would have nothing to say. After all, she no longer owed the Shangguan family anything.
Sage Ye didn't expect Shangguan Yahan to plead for Shangguan Zizhu. Everyone present, including Shangguan Zizhu herself, was shocked.
"Yahan 'er, think about it carefully. She's trying to harm you.”Sage Ye raised his handsome face, his two hands gently pinching Shangguan Yahan's wrist.
Shangguan Yahan nodded," Give her one last chance. If she dares to do it again in the future, you can do whatever you want to her. I won't say anything more."”
Sage Ye smiled." Alright, I'll listen to you."”
"Really? Thank you." Shangguan Yahan smiled from the bottom of her heart. If it weren't for the fact that there were so many people around, she would have jumped into Sage Ye's arms and beat him up.
It wasn't because she was happy that he had let Shangguan Zizhu go, but because she really didn't expect Sage Ye to agree so readily.
Sage Ye looked down at Shangguan Zizhu, who was kneeling on the ground. His handsome face, which had bloomed like a flower in spring a second ago, was cold and elegant again." Hurry up and thank the Princess Consort."”
"Thank you, Princess Consort. Thank you, Princess Consort." Shangguan Zizhu was quick-witted and immediately kowtowed to Shangguan Yahan.
Sage Ye looked at Shangguan Yahan again and said in a deep voice," However, you can avoid death, but you can't escape punishment. From now on, you are not allowed to take a step out of Peony Garden."”
Shangguan Yahan didn't say anything else. In any case, she had saved Shangguan Zizhu's life. She had already done her best.
However, she had no obligation to plead on behalf of the others. Therefore, the Venerable One received the death penalty, Xu Hanyan received twenty strokes of the cane, and the other maids who participated in the matter also received twenty strokes of the cane.
What surprised Shangguan Yahan was that Meng Jiase wasn't involved.
That night, as he lay in bed, Sage Ye remembered to ask about Situ Miaoxuan.
Thinking of Situ Miaoxuan, Shangguan Yahan felt a warmth in her heart. She smiled and told him everything.
Sage Ye didn't say anything after hearing this. He only nodded under Shangguan Yahan's coercion, saying that Situ Miaoxuan was a good person.
However, he really felt that Situ Miaoxuan was not as simple as she seemed.
"Then why did you plead for Shangguan Zizhu?”Sage Ye asked a second question that piqued his curiosity. Obviously, he didn't think Shangguan Yahan was kind-hearted enough to do that.
"I owe them. If it weren't for my relationship with Shangguan Qingcang, you wouldn't have killed him. Now that I've returned their lives, I'm even with them.”Shangguan Yahan replied leisurely, her voice devoid of any emotion.
However, every time he thought of Shangguan Qingcang, especially at this moment, when Shangguan Yahan had mentioned that man's name, Sage Ye still felt awkward. He rolled over and pressed her down.
Shangguan Yahan saw that Sage Ye's expression wasn't very good, and she knew the reason. She really didn't like a petty and fussy man like him.
"Do you still have Shangguan Qingcang in your heart?”Sage Ye wickedly put all his weight on Shangguan Yahan.
Shangguan Yahan groaned and slapped him on the back." It's so heavy. Are you trying to crush me to death and find another woman?"”
"Don't change the topic. Tell me, do you still have that man in your heart?”Sage Ye grabbed Shangguan Yahan's hands and pressed them against her head, looking down at her.
Shangguan Yahan felt that Sage Ye was very funny.
If she answered that she didn't, would he still ask if she had him in her heart? How was she supposed to answer? Wasn't he looking for trouble?
Seeing Shangguan Yahan's hesitation, Sage Ye's heart burned with fury."Shangguan Yahan, this king will tear you apart today!"”
Shangguan Yahan screamed, and the moment Sage Ye used his internal energy to shatter her clothes, she shouted," No more, no more, it's long gone."”
Sage Ye smiled evilly and got up to take off his clothes." If Yahan 'er wants to be naked, just say it. You don't have to do this. Brother Ye loves to do this.”
Shangguan Yahan couldn't help but shiver, feeling a layer of goosebumps on her face. Looking at his slow movements and his gaze on her, she felt her heart itch.
In the end, she had become such a woman.
Sage Ye had finally finished undressing, but he did not touch her. He lay down beside her obediently. This was not his style at all.
Shangguan Yahan naturally knew that he was up to no good again. She wriggled her body a few times and leaned over to meow in his ear,"Little Ye…Little Ye."”
Even though Sage Ye had accepted her words, he was still angry every time she called him that. He snorted." Do it yourself if you want."”
Shangguan Yahan didn't feel good about it, so she bit down on it and continued to call out to him.
However, Sage Ye had already made up his mind to take revenge on her. He didn't even look at her.
However, to be honest, he was about to explode from holding it in. It was really uncomfortable.
Shangguan Yahan finally couldn't take it anymore. She whimpered a few times and angrily punched him in the stomach before sitting up.
Sage Ye obviously knew what she wanted to ask, and the fire in his heart burned even more.
She still had the cheek to ask, but she was still angry at her.
Shangguan Yahan swallowed her saliva and raised her two small hands to hold her burning cheeks. She took a few deep breaths, her beautiful big eyes occasionally glancing over. Her entire body felt hot and unbearable, and she gritted her teeth and made up her mind. She crawled over, and then…she really came herself.
Sage Ye was so comfortable that he kept inhaling, but Shangguan Yahan was angry. She suddenly lay on his body and bit the little dot on his left.
Sage Ye screamed and struggled a few times. Shangguan Yahan immediately let go of him and lay weakly on his body, panting.
Sage Ye snorted in his heart.
The little bastard was really useless. He had only moved a few times and he was already dead.
On the fourth day after he returned home, Little Gold returned to the Prince's mansion. He took a lot of things with him when he left, so he naturally couldn't come back empty-handed.
"Master, these are dried sweet potatoes that my mother sun-dried herself, and these peanuts are all grown at home. Mother said that we must bring some back for you and wangye to try. Also, these tea eggs, my mother made them yesterday. The tea eggs my mother made are very delicious.”Little Gold shook the Herbal Tea Egg twice and continued to take out the things in the big bag.
"Thank you, Little Gold. Thank you, Auntie.”Shangguan Yahan tasted the dried sweet potato. It was sweet, mellow, and chewy. It was really delicious.
This old woman was really skillful. The food she made was much more delicious than those made in the factories of the 21st century. Moreover, it was clean and sanitary.
