Chapter 193 - Did She Speak Ill of Me Behind My Back? (2/2)

“Excuse me?! Do I look like a back-stabbing person?” Shangguan Linglan got angry suddenly by Jing Yue’s words and glared at Jing Yue indignantly.

Jing Yue nodded her head seriously.

“Ha-ha-ha…” Shangguan Jinghao burst out laughing all of a sudden when he saw the angry face of Shangguan Linglan. Shangguan Minhao smiled as well, but didn’t laugh out loud. Though others didn’t know Jing Yue’s identity, he had recognized her. She was the wife anointed by Ninth Imperial Uncle

Shangguan Linglan talked with Shangguan Minhao for a few words, and then hurried out of the tent with her hand holding Jing Yue, leaving those vulgar men behind.

“How can you come here? I know that ladies from official families are not allowed to be here, right?” Jing Yue turned to Shangguan Linglan and asked her, as they walked shoulder by shoulder on the way.

“Hee hee…” Shangguan Linglan laughed up her sleeves and said, “I kept pestering my father until he agreed. My mother was close to the Empress Dowager, so I got the privilege to come here with my father to broaden my horizon.”

“I see…” Jing Yue nodded her head slightly.

“My father has to be with the emperor and protect him all the time, so he sent my two older brothers to come along and to protect me.” Shangguan Linglan shrugged her shoulders and said, “It’s just a hunting game, right? There’s no need to protect me at all; after all, I am not a weak woman.”

Shangguan Linglan curled her lips unhappily. Obviously, she had been forbidden to do a lot because of the protection to her.

“Security can’t be absolutely guaranteed here. It’s still necessary to protect you in case of emergency situation.” Jing Yue said with her eyebrows frowned. “Safety comes first in any situation. Moreover, you are the only daughter in your family!”

“Hey, we’ve talked enough about me. Let’s talk about you.” Shangguan Linglan and Jing Yue sat on the grass outside of the tent and kept talking.
