The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Shangguan Ziling ignored him and said to Shangguan Dong: "Dad, please sit down," and then said to Chunxiao: "Serve the tea."

"Yes, miss."

Soon Chunxiao came up with hot tea and placed it on the stone table.

Shangguan Dong was a man who had seen many storms after all. He was nervous at the beginning, but now seeing his daughter's indifferent attitude, he quickly calmed down, sat down and drank tea.

Xiao Linzi came up and bowed.

"Xiao Linzi, tell me in detail what you saw."

"Yes, Miss, this morning I saw Xiangcao go to the kitchen to get ingredients, so I followed her to help. On the way back, I saw Aunt Bai's personal maid Mei Ju sneaking out of the back door. I saw that she looked flustered and behaved strangely, so I followed her all the way.

Mei Ju went to a private house on West Street and found this so-called master. Although they spoke in a low voice and I did not hear them, I could see clearly through the crack in the door that it was this monk who was drinking and his hands were wandering around Mei Ju dishonestly. Master, I saw it with my own eyes."

Wuxin, the disciple of the so-called abbot of Xiangguo Temple who passed away, looked as pale and ugly as he had just spoken.

Bai Suqing's personal maid Mei Ju lowered her head and her body trembled, showing that she was feeling guilty.

Bai Suqing cursed in her heart: "Damn it, Mei Ju, that damn girl, was so careless that she was seen by that bitch's people."

Shangguan Dong slammed the stone table with his hand and said angrily: "Hmph, how dare you pretend to be a disciple of Master Yuanji and come to my house to talk nonsense. It's really abominable. Lin Jian, capture this hypocritical monk and send him to the prison of the Ministry of Justice."

Lin Jian stepped forward and pushed the fake monk to the ground with a backhand.

"It's none of my business. It was your maid who found me, gave me a banknote, and asked me to come to your house and say that."

Shangguan Dong's face became even darker when he heard this, and he said coldly: "No need to send him to the Ministry of Justice. Drag him away and give him fifty lashes with the stick, then drive him out of the house."

"Yes, sir." Lin Jian escorted the fake monk who was begging for mercy and quickly left the Jiangzi Courtyard.

"Father, I am a bit arrogant, but I didn't offend Aunt Bai. I really don't understand why Aunt Bai treated me like this? Is it because I said that there will be a hunting trip the day after tomorrow and I can't go because I am a concubine, that Aunt Bai and I are holding a grudge against each other?"

"You, no, Miss, you have misunderstood. It must be this dead girl who acted on her own. I will teach this dead girl Mei Ju a lesson," Bai Suqing said while grabbing Mei Ju with one hand.

Bai Suqing had no idea what she looked like now. She no longer had the harmlessness and gentleness she had pretended to be in front of others, and she looked very disgusting.

Shangguan Dong looked at Bai Suqing sharply and said in a harsh tone: "Go back to your West Courtyard and don't come out unless you are called."

Bai Suqing widened her eyes and said in disbelief: "Master?"

Shangguan Jiaoyun's eyes were filled with tears, "Father? Don't do this to my mother."

"Shut up, she is just your aunt. Your mother is long gone. Where are the etiquette you learned? From today on, you are under house arrest for three months."

Shangguan Jiaoyun's tears streamed down her face. She covered her mouth and ran out.

"Yun'er, Master, why are you so partial? My Yun'er didn't do anything, why can't you give Yun'er a little bit of love?" Bai Suqing knelt in front of Shangguan Dong, holding his clothes tightly with both hands and cried.

Shangguan Dong had no expression on his face, and said in a very calm tone: "Yun'er? Yun'er knows very well how you got pregnant. I also told you clearly that I would not give you or the child any love. It was you who insisted on giving birth to her."

Shangguan Dong kicked her away in disgust.

"Ah" Bai Suqing fell to the ground, crying very sadly. Looking at the heartless Shangguan Dong, she felt hatred in her heart. She wiped her tears, stood up, and slowly walked out of the Jiangzi Courtyard.

"Dad, you don't love Aunt Bai, but you made her your concubine just to be responsible?"

"Alas, your grandmother took pity on her and let her stay. I was heartbroken because of your mother's death, and I drank all day. She climbed into my bed with me. The next day, I told her clearly that I would never marry her, let alone take her as a concubine. I promised to give her some money and buy her a house as long as she left here.

Not only did she refuse, she also said that she had lost her virginity to her father and would stay even if she didn’t have a legitimate status. When your grandmother found out, she forcefully took her as my concubine. It was my fault. I shouldn’t have drunk so much.”

After Shangguan Dong finished speaking, he realized what he had said and immediately regretted it. How could he say these things to the daughter of a lady from a wealthy family? It was simply shameless and an insult to her daughter's ears.

Shangguan Ziling seemed to see clearly what his father was thinking, and hurriedly said: "Dad, your daughter is not a child anymore, she has already reached the age of marriage. You must be very lonely all these years. Don't you want to remarry? Find someone who understands you and spend the rest of your life with you."

Shangguan Dong looked at his daughter with a vague look in his eyes and said, "It's enough for dad to have your mother. Even if your mother is gone, our beautiful memories are still here. I have made a mistake once and I will never make it again."

Shangguan Ziling felt heartbroken. How could there be such a devoted person in this world, and this person is now her father.

Shangguan Dong touched Shangguan Ziling's hair and said kindly: "Okay, you are still young and you don't understand. When you meet the person you love, you will understand."

"Oh"

"You just be good and be good while I'm going to the study to take care of something."

Shangguan Ziling nodded obediently, looking at her father's lonely back, she felt distressed for this man. In just a few meetings, he made her feel the fatherly love that she had never felt before. Now she felt the fatherly love from him. It turned out that the person who truly loves you will tolerate all your shortcomings and care about you.

Shangguan Ziling secretly swore in her heart that she would protect this hard-earned family relationship.

"Miss, didn't you see that the fake monk was beaten so badly that he was crying for his parents? He really deserved it. You didn't even see where you are here and dared to come here and talk nonsense."

Shangguan Ziling looked at the lively Xia Yu with great indulgence. She glanced at her and said, "No wonder I didn't see you just now. Did you go to the theater?"

"Miss..."

Nanny Qin also said with a smile: "Miss, just spoil this girl. You have spoiled her."

"Haha, of course I have to pamper my people."

"Haha", "Haha, the young lady is so nice", the whole yard was filled with laughter, which was completely different from the west yard.

Shangguan Ziling played with them in the yard for a while and then went into the house to rest.

Lying on the small couch, Shangguan Ziling took out her Ice Soul Silver Needle and applied acupuncture to the acupuncture points on her head.

"Master, there is a spiritual spring in this space. After you drink it, your body will be strong and your injuries will recover quickly."

"Spiritual spring?"

"Yes, yes, but Master, please don't let others know. Otherwise, Master, you should understand the principle of being guilty of possessing a treasure."
