The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 169 Oncoming

Shangguan Jiaoyun was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect Shangguan Ziling to accept her apology so easily. She bit her lip and said in a somewhat stiff tone: "Then I won't bother you anymore." After that, she turned around and prepared to leave.

Shangguan Ziling looked at her from behind, raised her eyebrows, and thought to herself: It seems that Shangguan Jiaoyun has become much calmer after her experience in the country village. However, she is still just a teenage girl after all, how long can she pretend?

Shangguan Ziling's lips curled up into a faint smile. She had no intention of exposing Shangguan Jiaoyun's disguise. On the contrary, she was looking forward to seeing how Shangguan Jiaoyun would behave in the future.

So she sat there quietly and let Shangguan Jiaoyun leave.

Shangguan Ziling gently closed the medical book in her hand, and looked away from the words and turned to the door of the room. Xia Yu's voice sounded at this time, with a hint of urgency in her words, "Miss, Xiao Linzi is back."

Shangguan Ziling nodded slightly. She remembered that she had previously asked Xiao Linzi to collect some food. Her voice was calm and powerful. "Let him in."

Xia Yu responded and left. After a while, he returned to the room with Xiao Linzi.

Xiao Linzi's face was a little tired. He bowed his head and reported, "Miss, we have already collected 50 dan of grain. This is the last batch of grain that has been transported back and is in the warehouse. The weather is hot now, and the grain in the fields is not yet ripe. This is all last year's fermented grain. I plan to wait until the autumn harvest, when the new grain comes out, and then I will go to buy it."

Shangguan Ziling calculated in her mind that one stone was equal to one hundred catties, so five stones was five thousand catties.

She was satisfied with Xiao Linzi's achievement, after all, it was completed in just a few months.

"Good, Xiao Linzi." Shangguan Ziling's voice was full of praise. It was good that Xiao Linzi could think on his own. Shangguan Ziling nodded and said, "Xiao Linzi, you have worked hard. Go back and have a rest for a day. Take me to the warehouse tomorrow."

Xiao Linzi raised his head, his eyes flashing with determination, "It's not hard for me, young lady."

Shangguan Ziling smiled and said, "Go down and have a rest!"

"Thank you for your understanding, Miss. I'll take my leave now." Xiao Linzi said this and retreated respectfully.

Xia Yu muttered quietly, "Why did the young lady collect so much food?"

Shangguan Ziling heard Xia Yu muttering, she just raised her eyebrows and said nothing.

Shangguan Ziling waved her hand and asked the girls around her to leave.

She entered the space. The space was full of green, and various medicinal herbs were full of vitality, but the variety seemed too few.

The little fat boy stood aside, looking at his master's frown, and couldn't help but put forward his own suggestion: "Master, why don't we sneak out and go to the deep mountains and old forests to look for those rare medicinal herbs? Then bring them back and plant them here, wouldn't it enrich our medicine garden?"

Shangguan Ziling shook her head gently after hearing this, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes: "No, I'm getting married soon, and my father is keeping a very strict eye on me now, and doesn't allow me to go out casually. Let's wait until I marry into the Regent's Palace!"

After saying that, Shangguan Ziling walked to the medicine garden opened up by Xiaopangdun and carefully selected some medicinal herbs.

Then Shangguan Ziling began to tinker with the medicinal herbs skillfully.

Chunxiao's voice came through the door, "Miss, the master has returned from court and asked you to go to the study."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Ziling straightened her clothes, left the space, opened the door and walked out.

Shangguan Ziling came to the door of the study, which was half-open, letting in a ray of warm yellow light.

Shangguan Ziling pushed open the door and saw her father Shangguan Dong sitting behind the desk. His eyes were deep and serious.

"Daddy." Shangguan Ziling bowed slightly, her voice clear and respectful.

Shangguan Dong raised his head and looked at his graceful daughter, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. He was silent for a moment, as if thinking about how to start.

"Zi Ling, your father noticed yesterday that you were quite good at martial arts. When did the Regent teach you?" Shangguan Dong finally asked, his tone revealing a hint of doubt and inquiry.

"He taught me when I was traveling far away with the Regent." Shangguan Ziling answered very naturally, as if all this was a matter of course.

Shangguan Dong frowned after hearing this. He looked at his daughter suspiciously, "Oh? You have learned so much in such a short time?"

Shangguan Ziling smiled slightly and said proudly: "Well, Dad, Mo Shaoxie said that I am a martial arts genius!" There was a hint of playfulness and pride in her tone.

Shangguan Dong couldn't help but laugh after hearing this: "Oh? Really?"

Shangguan Ziling nodded vigorously, her eyes full of determination: "That's right, Dad. If you don't believe me, you can go ask Mo Shaoxie." Her tone revealed an unquestionable confidence.

Shangguan Dong shook his head gently, his eyes full of doting and helplessness towards his daughter: "Zi Ling, Jiao Yun is back. If you don't like her, don't let her into your yard. After all, it was a mistake made by your father in the moment. Let her stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion until she gets married." His tone revealed a deep guilt and self-blame.

After Shangguan Ziling heard this, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure: "Dad, it's not your fault."

After Shangguan Dong heard this, a warm current surged in his heart. He touched Shangguan Ziling's head, his eyes full of love: "I'll ask the housekeeper to send you the dowry list later. See if there is anything missing and tell Dad."

Shangguan Ziling nodded obediently and replied sweetly, "Yeah, okay." Her voice revealed a kind of happiness and satisfaction.

"Go back." Shangguan Dong said gently.

Shangguan Ziling turned and left the study. Her steps were light, but her thoughts were as heavy as lead.

Shangguan Ziling's brows were furrowed, with all kinds of thoughts about Shangguan Jiaoyun surging in her mind.

In the space, the little fat man couldn't help but ask: "Master, how are you going to deal with Shangguan Jiaoyun? After all, she is the enemy who killed the original owner. Now that she is back, do you still plan to let her go?"

Shangguan Ziling walked away while responding to the little fat boy, "Let me think about this. I don't want to hurt my cheap father's feelings. Although he doesn't like Shangguan Jiaoyun, she is his daughter after all."

Shangguan Ziling knew very well that even though his cheap father did not like Shangguan Jiaoyun, she was his biological daughter after all, and he would not watch her get into trouble.

Shangguan Ziling frowned, thinking in her heart how to properly deal with Shangguan Jiaoyun while protecting her father's feelings.

At this moment, Shangguan Jiaoyun came towards him...
