Chapter 906

Shangguan Wan'er's whole body suddenly stiffened, her brain instantly blank; obviously, she was completely unprepared for Gao Yang's sudden attack.

But immediately, her beautiful eyes softened.

Gao Yang... must have suffered a great grievance, right?

Thinking of this, she gently patted Gao Yang's back and said apologetically: "Gao Yang, did Father and Brother say something?"

Gao Yang lay on Shangguan Wan'er's neck, took a deep sniff, and then said sadly, "Wan'er, don't ask; I won't say a word about everything that happened inside."

"Let's just forget everything."

Shangguan Wan'er's eyes changed, and she instantly imagined a lot.

Father and Brother were both so devoted; they must have said something very excessive, even humiliating Gao Yang!

The dignified number one poisonous strategist of Da Qian was actually sobbing from grievance; this was enough to show how excessive Father and Brother were!

"If you've suffered a grievance, you can tell me; if you keep it in your heart, you'll get sick."

Upon hearing this, Gao Yang released his hand from Shangguan Wan'er's slender waist and turned to stroke the stray hair on Shangguan Wan'er's forehead.

"No, I can't say!"

"I'm afraid that if you hear everything that happened in the hall, you will feel dissatisfied with Father-in-law and Brother, and that is not what I wish. Although I, Gao Yang, have a bad reputation, I am also a person of flesh and blood. Father-in-law and Brother are your closest relatives after all; let me endure all this alone."

"After all, unlike Father-in-law and Brother, I only care about Wan'er."

Gao Yang shamelessly said these "tea-like" words.

A man is three parts drunk, acting until you shed tears.

If you don't show off your acting skills now, when will you?

Hum!

As soon as Gao Yang's words were spoken, Shangguan Wan'er was instantly moved.

With these words, how could Shangguan Wan'er, who had never experienced love, withstand it?

This sentence about only caring about her almost poked her tear point.

Obviously, Shangguan Xuan and Shangguan Ting had made things difficult for Gao Yang in every way, and Gao Yang had endured it silently.

"This is all my lack of consideration; I let you suffer."

"For your sake, Wan'er, what is this? As long as I can get the approval of Father-in-law and Brother-in-law, never mind those excessive words; even if they beat me up, what does it matter?"

"A small matter!"

Even fearing that Shangguan Wan'er would feel suspicious, Gao Yang specifically added, "If Wan'er doesn't believe me, you can go and ask Father-in-law and Brother, what we actually said, but I'm afraid they won't say!"

Gao Yang could conclude that even if you beat Shangguan Xuan to death, he wouldn't say he was incapable, that Lady Wang was jealous, and that Shangguan Ting was henpecked, and that they were discussing a plan.

So he didn't worry at all about taking the blame.

Shangguan Wan'er, seeing Gao Yang so frank, felt even more guilty.

She was truly damned; she actually suspected Gao Yang of acting.

"Fortunately, the result is good; everything is worth it!"

"Wan'er, the weather is getting cold now. Although I am dressed a bit thinly and feel a bit cold, I am a man after all, and my Yang energy is heavy, but if you get blown sick and the cold enters your body, I will feel heartache."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wan'er looked at the clothes on Gao Yang's body and only then realized that Gao Yang was dressed extremely thinly; she instantly became a bit anxious.

"The weather is about to enter autumn; why are you dressed so thinly?"

"Go to my room and talk; I'll order the servants in the residence to find you a well-fitting set of clothes. If you get sick, that would be terrible."

"This... isn't very good, right? After all, it's the middle of the night, a lone man and a lone woman, you and I sharing a room, this, this, this..."

"Although the Dingguo Duke residence is very far from the Shangguan residence, it doesn't matter; I am not unable to endure it."

Shangguan Wan'er stood straight, her eyes cold, "Life is only a few decades; as long as we have a clear conscience, why fear the eyes of others?"

"Let's go!"

Saying this, Shangguan Wan'er took Gao Yang's hand and walked to one side.

At this very moment, there was only one sentence in Gao Yang's heart.

"Wan'er, you have a clear conscience, but Gao Yang... has a guilty conscience!"

"I'm sorry, Wan'er; next, we should be sleeping on the same bed, swearing to only hug and absolutely not move around."

He thought this step would be extremely difficult, but now it seemed easier than he had imagined; at this moment, his heart was agitated.

"..."

"Father, brother-in-law is somewhat shameless."

"Such shamelessness, even I, Shangguan Ting, admire it immensely!"

On the other side, Shangguan Xuan and Shangguan Ting originally wanted to come out to see Gao Yang off, but they saw the whole process from afar.

And they also heard a bit of Gao Yang's indignant voice.

They now felt even more wronged than a wrongly killed criminal!

Just now, the brother-in-law wanted to kneel, the father-in-law poured wine himself, and the two sides were almost ready to become sworn brothers, calling each other by their titles.

Shangguan Xuan's eyes were complex, "I have long heard of Lord Gao's reputation, but hearing is not as good as seeing; this guy is indeed even more shameless than imagined, actually deceiving my daughter like this."

"But I have to say, this method, even I, the former Little White Dragon in the Waves, admire it endlessly."

"What a 'only care about Wan'er'!"

Shangguan Ting said hesitantly, "Father, it's the middle of the night, a lone man and a lone woman sharing a room; are we just going to let it be?"

Shangguan Xuan stared at Shangguan Ting and reprimanded him: "You got the three strategies—lower, middle, and upper—and you want to kill the donkey after the mill? How can my Shangguan family have a person like you who forgets favors and violates justice!"

"And you previously suggested such a bad idea to Wan'er; now that the sky is clear and the rain has stopped, you can take a concubine, and you want to cross the river and tear down the bridge?"

"I warn you, I am the first one who won't agree to this matter!"

Shangguan Ting hurriedly shook his head, "Father, what are you saying? How could I, Shangguan Ting, be that kind of person? It's just that my conscience is a bit uneasy."

Shangguan Xuan said with displeasure: "What is there to be uneasy about? Wan'er, in front of ten thousand people, wanted to trade her life for this Gao Yang's life. With Wan'er's status and unyielding personality, do you think she can marry someone else?"

"Furthermore, with Gao Yang's prominent power now, looking across the entire Changancheng and even the entire Da Qian, who dares to pursue Wan'er? Unless the whole family doesn't want to live!"

"Tell the servants in the residence to be sensible, send some melons and snacks in, and then come out quickly. You must knock on the door when entering the room. Whatever happens tonight, it's Wan'er's own willingness; don't be so pedantic. I hate your kind of outdated thinking the most!"

Shangguan Xuan reprimanded Shangguan Ting.

"Father's words are reasonable!"

"Listening to Father's words is like listening to words; my heart feels much more comfortable."

Shangguan Ting instantly felt refreshed.

"Ahem, there is also one very important thing; remember to find time to order someone to secretly craft a white dragon mask."

As soon as these words were spoken, Shangguan Ting stared tightly at Shangguan Xuan.

He now seriously suspected that the reason Shangguan Xuan was so carefree was that the divine medicine Gao Yang promised hadn't been delivered yet.

Even, Gao Yang had already grasped Shangguan Xuan's lifeline!

Immediately, he stared at Shangguan Xuan with a strange look.

Shangguan Xuan's old face turned red, and he immediately changed the subject, "Lord Gao can offer these three strategies; Wan'er made a great contribution. Don't let down Wan'er's sacrifice."
