Chapter 345
Chun Xiao took a thick cloak from the side and put it on her, "Princess, it's cold outside and snowing, you need to wear more clothes."
Chunxiao said as she put a cloak on Shangguan Ziling.
Shangguan Ziling smiled and said, "Thank you, our housekeeper, Chunxiao."
Chunxiao stamped her feet and said, "The princess always teases me."
Xia Yu also took a hand warmer and placed it in her hand, "Princess, this is a hand warmer."
Shangguan Ziling looked at them, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart, "Thank you."
Shangguan Ziling walked out of the yard and came to the gate of the mansion.
Holly was waiting at the gate in her carriage.
Qiu Kui helped Shangguan Ziling get into the carriage. After Shangguan Ziling sat down, Dongqing drove the carriage slowly on the snow.
The carriage arrived at the Xiangxiangxuan Restaurant and stopped.
The carriage slowly stopped, and Dong Qing reported from outside: "Princess, we're here."
Shangguan Ziling took a deep breath, straightened her clothes, and then got off the carriage.
Just as I was about to enter the restaurant, I ran into Yun Shen and Shangguan Zirun.
As soon as Yun Shen saw Shangguan Ziling, his face suddenly became gloomy and he said angrily: "Regent Princess, you killed someone, don't you feel any guilt at all? And you still have the mood to come to Xiangxiangxuan Restaurant to eat, drink and have fun?" His words were full of anger and accusations.
Shangguan Ziling frowned and tried to remain calm. "If people whose fathers have died can come to Xiangxiangxuan Restaurant to eat, drink and have fun, why can't I, the princess, come?" Although her tone was calm, it revealed a firm and unquestionable attitude.
Yun Shen pointed at her, furious: "You, you..."
Shangguan Zirun stood aside with a frown on his face. He looked at Shangguan Ziling, his heart full of contradictions and struggles. On one side was his own sister, and on the other side was his brother-in-law.
"Zi Ling, Brother Yun came here to discuss something with me, not to eat, drink or have fun." Shangguan Zirun tried to ease the atmosphere, "Let's go in and talk."
Shangguan Ziling glanced at him. Her brother seemed to have changed. He was no longer on her side as before. It must be because of Yun Youyou!
Shangguan Ziling nodded and did not embarrass her brother.
The three of them walked into the Xiangxiangxuan Restaurant and sat down in a secluded corner.
Shangguan Zirun spoke first: "Brother Yun, you also know that Ziling is a kind woman. She has no intention of killing anyone. Regarding Uncle Yun's matter, Ziling may have been framed by someone."
Yun Shen snorted, "Framed? Shangguan Zirun, you asked me to come here today just to say good things about your sister? So many people witnessed it with their own eyes, and you still argue that you were framed?" His tone was still full of anger and accusations.
Yun Shen stared at Shangguan Ziling and said, "If the Regent hadn't said that he would give the General's Mansion an explanation within ten days, I would really hate it..."
"You wish you could kill me, the princess?"
"Zi Ling, can you please speak less?" Shangguan Zirun said in a serious tone.
Shangguan Ziling couldn't help feeling wronged when she heard his words. Her brother yelled at her? Didn't he believe she was innocent?
"Yun Shen, if I want to kill someone, will so many people see it? Think about it, there are so many secret guards in the Regent Palace. Do I need to do it myself if I just give an order?" Shangguan Ziling's voice was firm, "I have never thought of harming your father, because I have no reason to kill him."
Shangguan Zirun said: "Brother Yun, what Ziling said makes sense. Since the Regent has promised that he will give an explanation to the General's Mansion in ten days, it means that the Regent will catch the real murderer of my father-in-law within ten days."
Yun Shen sneered, "Humph! Shangguan Zirun, have you forgotten about Youyou? If she hadn't seen the scene that day, how could she have lost the baby in her belly?"
Shangguan Zirun's eyes felt painful. Yes, he and Youyou's first child was gone just like that.
Yun Shen glared at Shangguan Ziling and walked away.
Shangguan Zirun looked at Yun Shen's leaving back, and then fell silent.
Shangguan Ziling didn't say anything either, just sat there quietly, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense and depressing.
After a while, Shangguan Zirun said: "Zi Ling, don't worry, I will investigate the truth of this matter and clear your name."
Shangguan Ziling didn't expect her brother to say such a thing, so she said, "Brother, don't you blame me? Do you believe I'm innocent?"
Shangguan Zirun smiled bitterly. He looked at Shangguan Zirun and said, "Didn't you say that too? You have no reason to harm your father-in-law. It was my brother's fault. I didn't protect you at the first time because of Youyou's condition."
Shangguan Ziling's eyes were a little moist, and she said, "Brother, I'm sorry, Youyou..."
Shangguan Zirun suppressed the pain in his eyes and said, "I should apologize to you. I'm sorry. Youyou witnessed the death of my father-in-law and lost the baby in her belly. She couldn't accept it for a while and said a lot of bad things to you."
Shangguan Ziling had tears in her eyes. She was silent for a moment and said, "Brother..."
Shangguan Zirun said: "Okay, I should go back. I brought Youyou back to the Prime Minister's Mansion yesterday. She still has some problems in her heart, so I have to go back and take care of her."
"You, Ziling, don't go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion at this time," Shangguan Zirun said with difficulty.
Shangguan Ziling nodded and said calmly: "Okay."
Shangguan Ziling looked at his departing back and felt a heavy heart.
The little fat man in the space said: "Huh! What do you mean? You actually asked the master not to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion during this period of time. Doesn't this mean that you still don't trust the master?"
"Brother may be afraid that I will go back and upset Youyou!" Shangguan Ziling responded.
"Tsk... Master, baby feels sorry for you."
"good!"
Shangguan Ziling looked at Qiu Kui and said, "Mo Shaoxie promised the General's Mansion to give them an explanation in ten days? How come I didn't know about it?"
Qiu Kui replied: "Princess, the prince has told us not to tell you."
"Oh?" Shangguan Ziling looked at Qiu Kui with deep eyes.
Qiu Kui couldn't stand the pressure and said, "The prince has recently asked the secret guards to investigate what happened that day. It seems that there are some clues. I heard it from Mo Feng."
This man was the same. He didn't even tell her and just did it silently.
"Sister Zi Ling, you're here but you don't come upstairs? You kept me waiting!"
Shangguan Ziling looked up and saw Zhuge Wan'er lying on the railing on the second floor, looking at her.
Shangguan Ziling then remembered the reason why she came to Xiangxiangxuan Restaurant, and immediately stood up and walked up.
As soon as Shangguan Ziling went up to the second floor, Zhuge Wan'er came forward, took her arm and said, "Sister Ziling, let's go to the private room."
Shangguan Ziling and Zhuge Wan'er entered the private room on the second floor. Shangguan Ziling saw Dongfang Piaoyi there and raised her eyebrows.
