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

"Say what you just said again."

Shangguan Shu glanced at Zhao Yao indifferently, and his eyes fell on Huyan Xue again.

The man's voice was not loud, but it was extremely cold.

The biting cold air spread in the main hall, piercing the bones like a sharp blade. Even though Hu Yanxue had always been extremely brave, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva with fear.

Shangguan Shu's reputation was earned on the battlefield, and his power of life and death was not something a rude and brainless woman like Huyan Xue could resist.

Not only Huyan Xue, but even Zhao Yao became timid instantly, and his eyes were nowhere to be found.

Shangguan Shu sneered when he saw this.

"If anyone dares to call me Yue'er dumb again, I will make him dumb!"

Upon hearing this, Hu Yanxue staggered and fell into a chair. With red eyes, she glanced at Zhao Ying and Shangguan Qingyue, then looked at Shangguan Shu with tears in her eyes, "Uncle, you don't love Xue'er anymore..."

Zhao Yao shook her head and laughed at herself, "Xue'er... we came to the wrong place..."

She had the leverage over Zhao Ying in her hand, and she didn't care if Zhao Ying knew it.

Anyway... Xue'er had already let the cat out of the bag just now, and Zhao Ying didn't react, so it seems like she knew it too.

Knowing that she and Shangguan Shu have been secretly connected...

Zhao Yao suddenly felt relieved. Zhao Ying must have been heartbroken when she first found out the truth. It was a pity that she didn't see it.

But at this moment, if she is not doing well, they can't expect to do well either!

Zhao Yao stared at Shangguan Shu and tears fell.

"Shangguan Shu, you and I have been childhood sweethearts, but in the end you ended up like this!"

Shangguan Shu's brows were deeply knitted.

Zhao Yao stood up, stepped closer, and suddenly tore open the collar on his shoulder blade, revealing the densely packed marks inside, which were even more shocking than those on his face.

Zhao Ying opened her mouth, not knowing whether she was frightened by Dian Hen or shocked by Zhao Yao's sudden wild behavior.

Seeing this, the little guy in her arms snuggled even closer to her mother's arms.

[Playing hooligan in broad daylight! ]

Zhao Yao burst into tears, "Do you still remember what you said to me?"

She pointed at Zhao Ying and said in a tearful voice: "You said you had never been attracted to her!"

"I've been the only one you've admired all these years!"

"But what did you do to me?"

"My ears were cut off by Zhao Ying, and you turned a blind eye! I was stabbed into a hedgehog by your daughter, and you turned a blind eye! I have nothing left!"

"You said you would protect the four of us! But what did you do?"

As Zhao Yao spoke, she was truly moved. Her face flushed red, and her eyes were filled with accusations and grievances towards Shangguan Shu.

Seeing this, Hu Yanxue also burst into tears, "Uncle, my mother was sent away to marry because of you, and she had no one to rely on when she came back because you became a nun. Now she is in such a miserable situation, and you actually want to abandon her. How can you be so cruel!"

Zhao Yao covered her chest and cried inconsolably.

Zhao Ying looked at Shangguan Shu, then at Zhao Yao, and her dark eyes flashed.

The little one in my arms stopped crying and focused on watching the fun...

[Aunt Huai'an, is she asking my father for a legitimate status? ]

【Daddy, give it to her!!】

Zhao Yao originally thought that this would be able to arouse Shangguan Shu's sympathy. It wouldn't take too much. As long as Shangguan Shu punished the little mute, Zhao Ying would immediately turn against Shangguan Shu.

Unexpectedly, Shangguan Shu lowered his eyes and remained silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

Zhao Yao's heart felt colder and colder. She looked at Zhao Ying and her daughter who were watching the fun beside her, and suddenly felt that this world was too unfair and treated her badly everywhere.

He became more and more determined to destroy Zhao Ying.

If it weren't for Zhao Ying, Shangguan Shu wouldn't have treated her like this!

Zhao Yao became ruthless and pulled out a dagger from his body.

Zhao Ying widened her eyes upon seeing this and subconsciously protected Shangguan Qingyue.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yao's dagger was not used to stab them, but... stabbed herself fiercely.

"Since you have no feelings for me anymore, why am I still staying in this world?!"

There was only the sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh...

Hu Yanxue exclaimed: "Mother!!"

Shangguan Shu raised his head upon hearing the voice, his pupils shrank, "Huai'an!"

Zhao Yao fell into Shangguan Shu's arms. Shangguan Shu called Yu Jie, "Go call the imperial physician!"

Zhao Yao reached for Shangguan Shu's face with her blood-stained hands and cried, "Runlang..."

"If I die, will you forget me..."

Shangguan Shu took a deep breath and subconsciously wanted to avoid Zhao Yao's hand, but because of Zhao Yao's injuries, he held back.

"Don't talk nonsense, you can't die!"

Zhao Yao smiled with relief and sadness, "I knew you couldn't bear to leave me, you love me..."

Shangguan Shu closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Huai'an, why do you have to do this? I must be... protecting you."

He couldn't even utter the word "love".

Zhao Yao sobbed, "Runlang..."

Huyan Xue's eyes were red, and she was obviously frightened by the scene just now. When she heard that Shangguan Shu promised to protect them, she couldn't wait to attack Zhao Ying.

She pointed at Zhao Ying and gnashed her teeth, "It's all your fault! Haven't you harmed me enough? Why did you also force my mother to death!"

"You vicious woman!"

As soon as she finished speaking, before anyone could react, Huyan Xue suddenly widened her eyes, her eyeballs seemed to be squeezed out, bloodshot covered the whites of her eyes, and then she opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue uncontrollably.

Hu Yanxue's eyes were filled with horror. She wanted to ask Zhao Yao and Shangguan Shu for help, but her words were incoherent and saliva kept flowing from the corners of her mouth...

The next second, it seemed as if something was tearing her tongue. In an instant, the long tongue was pulled off by the roots and fell to the ground with a plop.

Blood splattered all over Hu Yanxue's face.

The whole process takes just a split second, so fast that there is no time to react!

Hu Yanxue hesitated for a moment, then burst into a sharp cry.

"what!"

Zhao Yao fainted from fright upon seeing this.

Zhao Ying was also frightened and forgot to move.

Shangguan Shu stared at the severed tongue on the ground in surprise, not even noticing...

The little baby's clear and bright pupils suddenly flashed darkly, as sinister and terrifying as the abyss, but in just a moment, the darkness disappeared.

The little guy opened his big eyes and blinked cutely, with the corners of his mouth raised in the most innocent smile.

night.

Zhao Yao and Huyan Xue came here to seek justice, but they didn't get anything, one had his tongue cut off, and the other was injured... If they were sent back like this, it would be hard to explain anything. If the censors found out, they might even be impeached!

Shangguan Shu had no choice but to find two houses in Xiyuan and accommodate the two of them.

Zhao Ying was afraid of scaring Shangguan Qingyue, so she had him taken away.

Shangguan Shu was guarding outside the door while the imperial physician was treating the patient.

Zhao Ying thought about it and walked towards Shangguan Shu.

Stand still before him.

Shangguan Shu seemed to have noticed it and looked up. When he saw it was her, his sharp eyes softened uncontrollably.

He asked in a low voice: "Were you scared just now?"

Zhao Ying shook her head.

Yu Jie was perceptive and brought a chair for Zhao Ying to sit down.

After struggling for a long time, he finally said, "Shangguan Shu, tomorrow... let's go to our father to get a divorce..."

Shangguan Shu's body froze. Although he had been prepared for a long time, just a moment ago, it was as if someone had ripped his heart apart.

Fortunately, he got used to it.

This is what he thinks too.

Since you can't keep it, there's no need to force it...

There was no need for him to hurt Huai'an again for Zhao Ying. If it weren't for his indecision, Huai'an would not have done what he did today.

Shangguan Shu hummed lightly, but the sound was so soft that it could be ignored.

Zhao Ying was not satisfied with Shangguan Shu's reaction.

She said, "Huai An is a proud and arrogant woman. She must love you very much for being like this today. If you betray her, I can't imagine whether she will do something a hundred times more tragic. By then, you will regret it!"

Shangguan Shu continued to have no reaction.

Zhao Ying pursed her lips, "To be honest, after today, I admit that my love for you is not as strong as hers..."

Shangguan Shu looked towards Zhao Ying, his eyes like a pool of ink, mottled yet fragmented, revealing a bright sadness.
