Chapter 796: Result (1)

Shangguan Mi was silent.         

    

She looked at Shangguan Yu coldly. The truth that she was not of the Shangguan Family’s blood was only something she discovered the day before her marriage to Long Family. At that time, her mother told her the truth and also asked her to investigate more about Long Family.     

At that time, she was unwilling.     

Because she was truly thinking that Long Qian Xing was such a perfect gentleman and his future was good. Her own mother always said good things about Long Qian Xing, making her wonder what it would be if she could marry him. What she wanted was to become his legal wife, so she didn’t actually want to help her mother.     

But during her time in Long Family Residence, she was treated worse than servants.     

It was to the point that the affection and adoration within her heart were washed away completely.     

Then…     

There was no then.     

Being kicked out of Long Family Residence and then thrown here, she figured out that because of what she had done, the Shangguan Family would never accept her again. There was no way that they would bring her back when she was already like this.     

Not to mention, she was originally not part of the Shangguan Family. Shangguan Mi was afraid that they would find out about it, so she could only reach out to her mother, hoping for her to take her away from here.     

At the very least, she knew that her mother could do something.     

But the news that she got later on was the complete opposite of her expectation. She found out that her mother had passed away.     

Her heart turned cold.     

With Shangguan Yi and Shangguan Die had already disappeared or maybe died, there was only one person who could possibly harm her mother.     

Shangguan Yu.     

This very person in front of her.     

The other concubines left in Shangguan Family were dying one by one, leaving none of them alive. They were brought to their demise for various reasons, and with the low statuses that concubines had, no one bothered to investigate this matter.     

It was simply forgotten.     

Shangguan Mi had been praying.     

She was hoping that it was just an accident, but seeing Shangguan Yu in front of her, she knew that he had already found out. The tricks that she used in order to cause chaos so that she would be the only young miss…     

It was actually an accident.     

The youngest son of the Shangguan Family, her half younger brother, was very annoying. He was so annoying that Shangguan Mi felt it would be better for him not to exist. But it was her mother who wanted her to accompany that brat.     

She could only unwillingly go to him.     

And in one of the times, she accidentally killed her own half brother.     

She was scared.     

She ran to her mother, and it was her mother who arranged things. When she heard about the matter later on, it was Shangguan Yu who was taking the blame. Shangguan Mi was astonished, but she let it be.         

    

As long as it was not her, she didn’t care about it at all.     

She was a young girl back then and didn’t dare to admit such a big matter. Even if she was young, she understood that she had taken someone else’s life.     

As for the second incident…     

It was also her.     

The real target back then was Shangguan Die, but Shangguan Yu was at the wrong place at the wrong time.     

This caused Shangguan Yu to be harmed and eventually become a cripple.     

But it was also because of this that Shangguan Die became the first person to find Shangguan Yu and save him, allowing him to keep his life and didn’t die.     

Shangguan Mi has always been afraid that Shangguan Yu would find out the truth, but it seemed that he always blamed Shangguan Die for this. And watching these two going against each other was very pleasant for her as it lessened the burden of things she had to do.     

But she underestimated Shangguan Die.     

Even when she was already cornered and harmed so many times, she could still stand up proudly. She will never admit her defeat and still faces her with the same courage and determination as she used to be.     

Her strong spirit and unyielding will made her a very tough opponent, especially after Shangguan Die dared to do everything.     

She had nothing to lose.     

Thus, her attack was so fierce and powerful.     

Shangguan Mi was angry.     

But there was nothing that she could do when she eventually ended up in this miserable position because of Shangguan Die’s hand. She could only grit her teeth and hope that Shangguan Die would end up worse than her in the future.     

She looked at Shangguan Yu coldly and then wrote down on the bamboo scroll. “It’s too late for you to know now.”     

Shangguan Yu looked at the sentence and chuckled coldly.     

The harem would never be peaceful. It was something that he himself had witnessed when his mother had to fight with the others. But their fight would have never been so cruel and bloody if not because of the instigation of others.     

At most, their fight would be quite fierce.     

After all, there was only one man who was being competed on by these women.     

But the young him never truly realized it until the very last moment when he talked to his mother on her deathbed. What she told him was something that he never expected and thus, Shangguan Yu knew what he was supposed to do.     

He should never let himself be used by other people anymore.     

That was the only way out of him.     

“Indeed. It’s too late.” Shangguan Yu was still as calm as ever as if those people’s death didn’t matter to him in the slightest bit.     

Shangguan Mi looked at half brother with wariness. Within Shangguan Yu’s eyes, she could see ruthlessness and indifference. It was as if everything that had happened in the past no longer mattered to him.         

    

This gaze caused chills from deep within Shangguan Mi’s body.     

Her hand trembled as she tried her best to write another word. “You….”     

“You’re an ambitious person, Shangguan Mi. I’m sure you know very well what you have done during your stay in this place for the past few weeks.” Shangguan Yu looked at Shangguan Mi with indifference. “Now that the court is doing cleaning, don’t you think that it’s the best for me to hand you over.”     

Shangguan Mi’s hand trembled again, but it was forcefully calmed down by Shangguan Mi. She looked at the person in front of her coldly and forced herself to write on the bamboo scrolls he had provided for her.     

“You wouldn’t dare.”     

“Do you really think so?” Shangguan Yu laughed lightly. “Don’t you know very well what I dare and don’t dare to do?”     

Shangguan Mi’s body trembled. This Shangguan Yu in front of her was no longer the same gentle young man she used to know. In the past, no matter what, Shangguan Yu was a good gentleman who was pleasing to look at.     

Now, he had turned very scary.     

Shangguan Mi is afraid.     

Thinking about how Shangguan Die performed back then to the point that she didn’t care about anything else, her pupil dilated. She was worried that Shangguan Yu would repeat that tragic experience in front of her.     

Should that happen, she wouldn’t be able to say what he didn’t dare to do anymore.     

“You…”     

“A person like you doesn’t deserve to know what had actually happened.” Shangguan Yu looked at Shangguan Mi. “What you hear and what is actually important in Shangguan Family is fake.”     

Shangguan Mi frowned and looked at Shangguan Yu in confusion.     

Shangguan Yu didn’t expect Shangguan Mi to understand. He had talked to his father about this matter, and his father chose to just let everything be.     

Commander Shangguan was tired of the drama of these women too and admitted to Shangguan Yu that he had another woman outside. After the relationship with Shangguan Yu deteriorated, the two of them could hardly interact with each other as father and son.     

Commander Shangguan will not give her anything, but he hoped that Shangguan Yu would let her and his child go instead of chasing them like his other children in Shangguan Family Residence.     

In fact, Commander Shangguan felt ashamed of acknowledging this to his son.     

But Shangguan Yu was not close to his father and didn’t have much affection for this father of his. He promised that he would not disturb his father’s personal life as long as he could be the next head of the Shangguan Family.     

It meant that the highest power of the Shangguan Family in the Capital City would belong to him.     

Commander Shangguan agreed.     

But his two cousins were definitely not going to be under him. They had their own pursuit of life and Shangguan Yu just wanted to thrive in this Capital City. Thus, his father agreed to what he wanted.     

And from a long time ago, the power in Shangguan Family was actually in his hand.
