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

Shangguan Qingyue stretched out her little hand from Shangguan Shu's arms and pretended to hug Shangguan Qingwan, as if she couldn't wait to go away with Shangguan Qingwan.

Upon seeing this, Shangguan Bailin slackened his shoulders in dejection.

He looked at Shangguan Qingyue with resentment, and finally looked at Shangguan Qingwan, "Sister, why don't I move to your place too!"

This way I can accompany my sister and play with the wooden figures at the same time!

He is so smart!

As a result, he was severely rejected by Shangguan Qingwan, who placed her palm between the two of them and said, "Your feet stink!"

Shangguan Bailin was stabbed in the chest and choked.

Shangguan Shu frowned and asked, "Bai Lin, why don't you wash your feet after school every day?"

"Do you still want the teacher to come to the Duke's Mansion to file a complaint against you?"

"You can afford to lose this person, but your mother and I can't!"

"It's unfair, Dad. It's not that my feet stink. I wash my feet every day. Why don't you believe me?"

[That's right, it's not your feet that stink, it's your shoes and socks that stink. You and your classmates made a bet about whose shoes and socks would stink more after wearing them for three months. In the end, only you and the waiter from Duke Dingguo's family were left. The bet was a new lion cat from the uncle's family.]

Shangguan Bailin's face turned red immediately after his past was exposed.

Shangguan Shu closed his eyes, speechless.

Shangguan Qingwan: yue~

Shangguan Chengjing:? ?

[You wear new shoes and socks to school every day, change into old ones when you arrive at the Imperial College, and change back after school.]

[But you are still upset about why your shoes and socks are not as smelly as those of Duke Dingguo's second son. ]

[Because he cheated, his socks were soaked in swill.]

Shangguan Bailin: Good job, Zheng Er!

Shangguan Shu: These naughty kids really tried their best to win...

【Well, you bet because...】

Shangguan Qingyue’s voice stopped.

Shangguan Shu looked at Shangguan Bailin with disdain, "Shangguan Bailin, I limit you..."

Before he could finish his words, Shangguan Bailin raised his head and burst into tears.

"Wow……"

"I just want to give my sister a lion cat..."

"My sister is going to have a birthday..."

"Daddy gave Qing'er a kitten before, but it should have belonged to my sister. Qing'er played with the kitten to death, so my sister has nothing..."

Shangguan Bailin was sobbing and his words were incoherent.

Shangguan Shu and Shangguan Qingwan felt sad after hearing this. Shangguan Shu was about to reprimand Shangguan Bailin, but after hearing this, he could not say anything to him. He just said, "If you want to give your sister a cat, just tell me and I will find it for you... Don't do this kind of thing again!"

At this moment, Shangguan Shu could understand how difficult it was for Zhao Ying.

The kids are so exhausted.

I won’t have any more children. I won’t have any more children no matter what.

Shangguan Qingyue climbed down from Shangguan Shu, walked to Shangguan Bailin, raised his hands towards him, as if asking for a hug.

Shangguan Bailin cried and hugged Shangguan Qingyue. Shangguan Qingyue hugged his brother in return, found a wet spot on his face, and kissed it with his little mouth.

Tell him with your eyes.

[Second brother, I don’t like cats, I only like second brother…]

Shangguan Bailin was stunned for a moment, and his tears flowed more and more violently.

Shangguan Qingwan said in embarrassment: "Bai Lin, don't cry. At worst, we can take care of my sister together, you take a day and I take a day..."

Shangguan Bailin stopped crying immediately and agreed straightforwardly, "Okay!"

Shangguan Qingwan suddenly felt that she was being tricked.

Shangguan Chengjing added fuel to the fire, "Bai Lin, you are kind-hearted, but I also want to tell you that Qing'er didn't kill the cat, so don't slander her!"

Shangguan Bailin was angry and retorted, "How could she not have killed the cat by playing with it? It was only a few months old, and she knew how to throw the cat off the high platform. The kitten died of vomiting blood..."

"You are the only one who thinks Shangguan Qing'er is kind and harmless. You are bewitched!"

"you!"

"enough!"

Shangguan Shu's head hurt from the noise.

After giving each of them a few words of advice and letting Shangguan Qingwan take Shangguan Qingyue away, Shangguan Shu breathed a sigh of relief, got up and left the study and went to Qianyuan.

Dry Garden.

Zhao Ying had just finished taking medicine and was resting with her eyes closed. Nanny Li and Hou Zhu were serving her.

Seeing Shangguan Shu coming, Nanny Li and Houzhu greeted him.

"Sir."

"Go back all!"

Nanny Li and Houzhu retreated.

Zhao Ying heard Shangguan Shu's voice and opened her eyes dazedly, "Where's Yue'er?"

"I slept with Qingwan tonight."

Zhao Ying felt relieved a little, and seemed extremely tired, so he closed his eyes again.

Shangguan Shu sat down beside the bed and asked worriedly, "Is Ying'er feeling unwell in any other place?"

Zhao Ying suddenly smiled and closed her eyes. She couldn't see Shangguan Shu's expression. Her consciousness was groggy, but her mind was clear.

I was so lucid that I remembered what happened before I passed out.

Zhao Ying suddenly said: "Shangguan Shu, let's get a divorce..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Ying felt the atmosphere around him turn cold.

A burning and dangerous gaze was fixed on her.

Shangguan Shu's tone was filled with a tremor and urgency that he himself hadn't noticed. "Ying'er, what are you talking about?"

Zhao Ying chuckled again, "I've been sick recently and have had nightmares all the time. The dream keeps repeating the day when you heard that Huai'an was going to be married to the Xiongnu, so you came to ask me why it wasn't me you were going to marry."

"I didn't answer you at that time, but I should have given you an answer a long time ago. Even if it wasn't Huai'an, it wouldn't be me."

"I am the eldest daughter of my father, the legitimate princess of the Great Chu. How can a mere Xiongnu king be worthy of me? If I marry him, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of the entire Great Chu?"

"Besides, my maternal grandfather holds military power. Wei Fu once told me that if I marry him, he will crush millions of Xiongnu lions..."

"Wei... Fu?" Shangguan Shu slowly stood up and said in an ambiguous tone, "Did you dream about Wei Fu?"

Zhao Ying shook her head, obviously not wanting to talk to him about this.

"Shangguan Shu, I just want to tell you that Huai'an's tragedy was not caused by me, and I didn't take anything from her... No matter what, Huai'an suffered, and you also suffered the pain of losing your lover. Maybe you seem relieved on the surface, but there is still a thorn in your heart."

"The longer this thorn stays, the deeper it will pierce. If you want to remove it, you have to do it early... If you still have feelings for Huai'an, I will let you go."

I only beg you, please... spare my father, my brother, my entire Zhao family, and my Zhao family's century-old empire.

After Zhao Ying finished speaking, he felt much better.

She really could ignore Shangguan Shu's deception and his poor treatment of her children, as long as he could stop right now and put an end to everything before the tragedy happened.

Shangguan Shu walked to the window at some point and stood with his back to her, his hands behind his back.

"Divorce? Zhao Ying, where's the child?"

The man's tone sounded calm.

Zhao Ying was both happy and sad. She was happy that he was willing to negotiate with her, but sad... She wanted to divorce, but he really didn't feel sad at all.

The slightest sadness was not enough to shake her determination.

Zhao Ying said: "Chengjing is your eldest son, and he will be your heir in the future. I won't fight with you. Qing'er and Chengjing are good friends, and they definitely don't want to be separated."

"Yue'er is too young to be away from her mother. Yue'er must follow me. Qingwan is unruly and uneducated. Her future marriage will be troublesome. The future Crown Prince's Consort will not worry about it. Bailin is stubborn and stubborn. I am afraid that he will cause trouble to the Zhenguo Mansion, so he will follow me too."

Shangguan Shu laughed softly twice.

He turned around and looked at the frail figure behind the bed curtain, and said coldly, "What if I want Yue'er too?"
