The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 159 A visit from a friend

After Yun Youyou finished the bowl of steaming wontons, she burped with satisfaction. She looked shy and said, "Brother Zirun, these wontons are so delicious. I couldn't help myself. I ate too much."

Shangguan Zirun smiled softly, his eyes full of doting. He took out a silver ingot of ten taels from his arms and put it on the table, and said gently: "Youyou is full, let's take a walk to digest the food. This place is not too far from the General's Mansion."

Yun Youyou nodded in agreement, and the two of them stood up together and walked slowly along the dimly lit street. The old man watched the two people's backs until their figures disappeared into the night, and then he came back to his senses.

He looked at the heavy silver ingot on the table, his eyes full of shock. He hurriedly picked up the silver and chased after the two men, shouting as he ran: "Sir, sir, you gave me too much silver!"

Hearing the old man's call, Shangguan Zirun and Yun Youyou stopped. Shangguan Zirun turned around, waved to the old man who was chasing him, and said firmly: "Old man, no need for change." After that, he took the horse and left side by side with Yun Youyou, leaving the old man stunned in the night.

Shangguan Zirun and Yun Youyou walked side by side, their horses pedaling leisurely behind them, their shadows stretched out in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Yun Youyou glanced at Shangguan Zirun's hand from time to time. His palms were broad and strong, and his fingertips lightly rested on the reins, revealing calmness and steadiness.

Yun Youyou's heart was moved by this tranquility, so she carefully stretched out her little hand and gently pulled his sleeve.

Shangguan Zirun's movements were light, and he noticed her movements almost inadvertently. He tilted his head slightly, and a hint of tenderness appeared in his deep eyes. He didn't say anything, but slowly put his hand on the back of her hand.

At that moment, it seemed as if time had stopped, with only the sounds of their two heartbeats echoing in the air.

Yun Youyou felt a warm current spreading from the palm of her hand throughout her body. She raised her head and saw the tenderness and affection in Shangguan Zirun's eyes, and an indescribable joy surged in her heart.

Her cheeks were lightly flushed, and her eyes were shining with shyness and happiness. She lowered her eyes slightly, and raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a sweet smile.

The two walked hand in hand on the street, and the hustle and bustle around them seemed to have nothing to do with them. They were immersed in each other's world, enjoying this rare tranquility and warmth. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, coating their figures with a layer of golden glory, as if they were the happiest couple in the world.

Shangguan Zirun and Yun Youyou walked slowly to the General's Mansion. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, covering them with a layer of golden light. The mansion was majestic and magnificent, and the stone lions in front of the gate were majestic and solemn, showing the majesty and dignity of the general's mansion.

When they arrived at the mansion gate, Shangguan Zirun gently let go of Yun Youyou's hand.

Yun Youyou suddenly felt a little reluctant. She looked up at him, her eyes full of attachment.

Shangguan Zirun said softly: "Go, go back and rest early." His voice was low and gentle, like a spring breeze, soothing.

Yun Youyou responded sullenly, "Hmm." She turned and walked towards the door, each step seeming heavy and slow.

Yun Youyou raised her hand and knocked on the door. After a while, the door slowly opened. When the doorman saw that it was his young lady, he hurriedly and respectfully made way.

Yun Youyou turned around and said to Shangguan Zirun, "Brother Zirun, I'm going in. You should go back too. Be careful on the road." Her voice was soft and concerned, revealing her deep concern for him.

Shangguan Zirun nodded, looking at her deeply. He smiled and said, "Okay, you should go to bed early too." Then he turned around, mounted his horse, and rode away.

Yun Youyou watched his back go farther and farther until he disappeared from her sight. She sighed softly and then turned around and walked through the door.

In the purple courtyard, the night was deep, and the originally quiet courtyard was suddenly broken by two uninvited guests. Dongfang Piaoyi was dressed in white clothes that were whiter than snow, and he was as elegant as a fairy, but at this moment he showed a bit of impatience. He frowned and stared coldly at Zhuge Wan'er in front of him.

Zhuge Wan'er was dressed in a charming red dress, and her beautiful eyes were cunning. Facing Dongfang Piaoyi's questioning, she rolled her eyes and said softly, "I'm here to find Sister Zi Ling, too, okay? I'm not following you."

Dongfang Piaoyi couldn't help but snort when he heard this, and felt annoyed.

Ever since Shangguan Ziling and Mo Shaoxie left without saying goodbye, Zhuge Wan'er had been clinging to him like a piece of taffy. No matter where he went, she always followed him, which annoyed him a lot.

"I'd be surprised if I believed you." Dongfang Piaoyi sneered and walked to a stone bench and sat down.

However, Zhuge Wan'er followed him relentlessly, her voice echoing in the night sky: "Dongfang Piaoyi, you are my fiancé, there is nothing wrong with me following you."

Dongfang Piaoyi paused and his face changed slightly when he heard this. He took a deep breath, tried to suppress his inner irritation, turned around and looked at Zhuge Wan'er coldly: "I have said it hundreds of times, it's just a joke from the elders, don't take it seriously."

Zhuge Wan'er showed a smug smile: "What a joke, I'm serious, I still have a token!"

Dongfang Piaoyi choked and fell silent.

Shangguan Ziling sat there quietly, looking at the two uninvited guests in front of her with gentle eyes.

Dongfang Piaoyi opened the wine he brought and drank it straight away, as if he was drowning his sorrows in the wine. His eyes were deep and complex, as if he was thinking about something important.

Zhuge Wan'er was dressed in a charming red dress. She looked at Shangguan Ziling with resentment and pouted her lips and said, "Sister Ziling, why did you leave Fengling County without saying goodbye?"

Shangguan Ziling was slightly stunned when she heard Zhuge Wan'er's words. She recalled the scene in Fengling County when Dong Qing was seriously injured and they had to leave in a hurry. She sighed softly and said, "Ah? Oh, because Dong Qing was seriously injured at that time, we left in a hurry."

Dongfang Piaoyi heard this, put down the wine glass in his hand, and turned his eyes to Shangguan Ziling. He seemed to understand something, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

Zhuge Wan'er was stunned. She didn't expect that Shangguan Ziling left because Dong Qing was injured.
