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

With such a horrifying well, how could people around dare to live there? They all moved away...

Gradually, dynasties changed and time passed. Few people knew that this place was haunted. People lived in this area again, but the only place that was no longer inhabited was the garden.

Because it's really creepy in the middle of the night...

If you get close to this house in the middle of the night, you can faintly hear a sentence, "Daddy, my daughter is getting married tomorrow. I'm so happy, hahahaha..."

Finally, there was the girl's bell-like laughter.

But then the laughter will become more and more shrill...

As a result, this uninhabited garden was confiscated. Emperor Jianxi didn't know the mystery inside, so he awarded it to the Duke of Zhenguo, who had served as a follower of the emperor. The Duke of Zhenguo gave it to the crown prince...

At this time, Shangguan Shu was sitting on a stone chair in the yard, waiting for Zhao Yao to arrive.

On the stone table in front of him were four side dishes, a wine pot and two wine cups.

The moon is dim and the stars are sparse, and it is as cold as water.

Zhao Yao arrived late.

From a distance, she was led over by the guards and saw a man with a heroic figure, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes sitting there.

He was wearing a dark robe today, with his hair tied up in a high crown. He looked lonely and cold, but he was indeed handsome.

Zhao Yao's mind moved, and then she called out, "Run Lang..."

Shangguan Shu turned his head slightly and said in a calm voice: "You are here..."

The guards retreated with good eyesight. Zhao Yao completely forgot to be wary of Shangguan Shu and sat down opposite him with a painful look in his eyes.

"You bad guy! Why did you bring me here?! Why don't you go and accompany your middle-aged wife? Why do you come to mess with me?!"

Shangguan Shu silently poured Zhao Yao a full cup of wine. Upon hearing this, a cold arc appeared at the corner of his lips.

Zhao Yao's heart sank.

He said quietly, "Huaian, you know I don't like beating around the bush with people. I'll tell you the reason why I came to see you."

Zhao Yao's face turned pale.

Shangguan Shu seemed not to see it. His eyes were dark and his gaze fell lightly on Zhao Yao's face, which was chilling.

"What did you do to Zhao Ying?!"

Zhao Yao's pupils dilated slightly, and she subconsciously lowered her eyes.

He really knew!

So how much did he know?

Damn Zhao Ying!

If you agree to her here, you will betray her there!

When she returns, her life story will be announced to the world!

But she had to go back, and now she had to deal with Shangguan Shu's questioning.

Zhao Yao denied it guiltily, "No, I didn't do anything to Sister Ying!"

"Did she tell you something slanderous about me?"

"Do you really believe her words?"

Zhao Yao did not forget to turn the tables, "Runlang, you would rather believe her words than mine?"

In the past, if she had been so unreasonable, Shangguan Shu would have surrendered and stopped pursuing the matter. But today, Shangguan Shu sneered.

"I should have believed you."

"I believe you didn't put a curse on Zhao Ying!"

"I believe it... I really humiliated you when I was drunk the night I came back from the Xiongnu!"

"I believe... Zhao Zihua and Zhao Ziyin are my children!"

"I believe you have no intention of harming my children!"

"I believe it..." Shangguan Shu said, and he found himself ridiculous.

He is obviously very smart, so how could he be fooled by such a petty trick?

This is ridiculous!

Zhao Yao was extremely flustered, her teeth chattering slightly, and she couldn't help but stammer, "Run Lang..."

"Even if I don't believe you, because I love you, I still do it for you..."

"What did you get in return?"

Shangguan Shu stared at Zhao Yao with an extremely sarcastic look.

"In exchange, my youngest son was cheated of by that Xiongnu bastard Zhao Ziyin, and my youngest daughter was secretly swapped out of the mansion by you, and she suffered all kinds of injustices!"

Zhao Yao was shocked. She didn't expect Shangguan Shu to know all this. How could he know all this?

Who told him?

Zhao Yao was flustered and subconsciously wanted to deny it, "No, it's not what you said! I didn't do that... Ziyin and Zihua are your children. Look how much Ziyin looks like you. He..."

Zhao Yao reacted, then immediately fell silent, like a quail with its neck strangled.

Shangguan Shu looked as calm as an outsider.

He hid his hatred and resentment deeply.

It seemed as if the person who was aggressive just now was not him.

Zhao Yao couldn't figure out what he was thinking for a moment.

The tense atmosphere made her feel suffocated and dazed.

She wanted to explain again, but she couldn't think of a reason.

She suddenly felt like crying.

But the next second, Shangguan Shu's voice rang out again.

"Huaian, don't be afraid. Even if the child is not mine, I will treat him as my own, just like Xue'er..."

"You are the woman I have loved for many years. Even if you have changed, I still love you!"

Shangguan Shu said this calmly, but his heart felt as if it was being pierced by thousands of sharp thorns, causing unbearable pain.

He couldn't help but wonder, did he love Zhao Yao?

Have you loved it from beginning to end?

This love was so vague, so vague that... he felt like he was being forced to love her.

Why did he fall in love with Zhao Yao?

Why was he attracted to her?

He had no impression of it at all!

When he saw Zhao Yao, his heart never beat violently. When he heard her voice, he never got tired of it. He never thought of her every smile and frown. He never wondered what she was thinking when he was alone. He never thought that her name was the most beautiful word in the world just by looking at it...

What is love?

Would you miss her, would you feel hurt by her, feel what she feels, hate what she hates? Would you be confused by her, jealous of her, and in pain for her?

The fingers on the table curled up slightly, and Shangguan Shu didn't dare to think about it anymore...

Zhao Yao believed Shangguan Shu's lies.

She burst into tears and choked up, "Runlang, I know you love me. How could you have no feelings for me at all? We have known each other for more than 20 years..."

What Zhao Yao didn't say was that after more than 20 years, even if it was just a dog, one would develop feelings for it.

She didn't believe that Shangguan Shu was completely heartless to her!

Otherwise, how could he not care at all after knowing all the truth?

Shangguan Shu nodded upon hearing this.

"So you don't have to be afraid to tell me what you did to Zhao Ying."

Shangguan Shu's tone was deceptive. He knew Huai'an's thoughts best, so his words were the most heart-wrenching.

"Huai'an, Zhao Ying will never be able to compare with you in my heart..."

As Shangguan Shu spoke, he handed Zhao Yao a glass of wine.

Zhao Yao was already half drunk without even drinking...

She looked at Shangguan Shu with emotion and shyness, then took the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

As soon as he finished drinking, Shangguan Shu's expression changed, no longer as gentle as before.

Shangguan Shu sat up straight, a few inches away from Zhao Yao, and said in a calm tone, "Huai'an, you have already drunk the Gu wine I found specially for you. You have to tell me...even if you don't want to."

Zhao Yao was in a daze, not putting down the cup in her hand.
