C156 diabolism (2/2)
He was well aware of his father's temper. If he got angry, he would really be in for a bad luck. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he wouldn't easily disobey his father.
”I think the old princess just wants to stay with your mother a little longer.” Yun Luo's words had obviously not gone through a thought. That was why Shangguan Li was puzzled.
”Huh?”
”I mean, I heard that there was a portrait of your mother in the study, and that the lord had locked himself in his room. I can't think of any reasonable explanation other than mourning your mother.” She had not only heard of that portrait, but had seen it with her own eyes? Of course, it was seen in stealth mode, but it was inconvenient to tell the truth, so he could only use the word ”hear” to make a general introduction.
It was not his intention to lie.
Her identity was too complicated. She was a fox spirit of Qing Qiu, as well as the queen of the Xuan Yue palace. No matter which one of them said it, it would still give him a fright.
But then again, the Old Princess wasn't much of a person, but she was truly a devoted lover. Even after his wife had been dead for so long, he still couldn't forget. Such a relationship was both rare and admirable.
If he could be like this with Nangong Yu in the future, he would be lucky.
”If it is as lady said, then I do not need to worry.” He thought that his father had encountered some kind of setback, so he couldn't help but shut himself in his room. Unexpectedly, it was for the sake of missing his mother.
Mother, ah, mother, did you see it in the sky? There are two men in the mortal world who miss you so much.
”I admire the princess' filial piety.” Yun Luo smiled.
”Got it.” Shangguan Li couldn't help teasing him, ”What is our relationship? Don't flatter me again, just get along like normal friends.”
It was a fawning action. That was done by someone who possessed great power. The person that he thought of was not that person. Likely, everything she said were all for the holy water. ”Woosh, woosh, woosh, woosh ~ ~ ~”
Then whose hands would the holy water fall into next month? Would Shangguan Li just rely on this friendship to give the holy water to the couple? All of this was an unsolved mystery.
”Princess, since you are being casual, I will be that way as well.” Yun Luo crossed her legs and acted like she was an old man, ”Hey, smelly brat, pour me a cup of tea.”
After that, Shangguan Li had been rather cooperative in bringing a cup of tea to her, smiling respectfully as he said, ”Eldest young mistress, please have some tea.”
This was how good friends were. Jokes could be messed around with.
But sneaking into a good friend's father's study, he didn't have much moral integrity left.
However, she was also kind, she only wanted to know if Shangguan Hong was as she had guessed, and he was purely thinking about his dead wife.
However, she found that this was not the case.
Shangguan Hong lit a candle and mumbled a few sentences. Behind the screen, a beauty appeared, an exceptional beauty, Yun Luo remembered her very well.
There was no doubt that she was Shangguan Li's mother.
But there was no shadow of her. What was going on? Could it be a soul summoning? Impossible, he had already died for so long, he should have been reincarnated long ago.
With this question in mind, Yun Luo decided to continue observing to see what this old man was up to.
When a man and a woman were together, the scene became a little unsightly. Moreover, peeking at the ”work” of a man and a woman was detrimental to their demonic virtue.
Although she didn't know what a demon was, she could easily imagine it.
Forget it, come in after they're done.
Even though she had accepted the idea of doing this in front of a horse, she couldn't allow herself to sneak a peek at him and do this sort of thing.
