*Warning: If you don't want to read about a seemingly immoral dealing (that might gross out some of you) …. You can choose to skip this chapter and the previous chapter. However, you might skip some points regarding the story related to Shangguan Die and 'Shangguan Yi.' Plus, there's a small spoiler at the author's note for explanation of the deal *
In fact, Shangguan Die was not surprised.
She had known about this for quite some time.
When everyone else were scared out of the daylights when they saw her face, he never even flinch. In fact, there were only anger and heartache when he saw her. Even though he couldn't get close to her because of the custom here, his gaze when he looked at her was still the same as ever.
Because of that, Shangguan Die knew very well that he cared for her greatly.
Not in the way a sibling would care for each other.
"I know."
"So…"
"I have one task for you, Brother."
"I'm listening."
Shangguan Die bit her lower lips. Her eyes were filled with determination as she looked at her older brother. "If you manage to destroy Shangguan Mi, her mother, and also take care of our mother, I'll give what you want."
"Your mother?" Shangguan Yi furrowed his eyebrows. "If something happens to her, you won't be able to return to Shangguan Family."
"Do you really think that I can return to Shangguan Family?" Shangguan Die asked back.
Unlike his usual frivolous appearance, Shangguan Yi was seriously considering what Shangguan Die asked him to do. Dealing with Shangguan Mi and her mother was very easy for him. It was something that he could do as long as he was given enough time.
With his family members had long given up on him going to the battlefield, he had more than enough time in the Capital City.
Shangguan Yi knew the reason why Shangguan Die wanted him to take care of her mother. He took a deep breath. "I'll take care of it. Where do you wish for her to be?"
"Somewhere far away from those b*tch's hand." Shangguan Die's eyes were filled with malicious gazes. She knew that with her mother's ability, she wouldn't be able to survive being locked for an entire year like this. Thus, the only path of survival was for her to leave Shangguan Family.
But considering her mother's affection for her father, Shangguan Die knew that it would be impossible for her to coax her mother. She could only leave this matter to her older brother because he would definitely be able to figure out something.
As long as those women in Shangguan Family Residence couldn't touch her mother, it would be for the best.
"Fine." Shangguan Yi sighed. He then looked at Shangguan Die deeply. "You better not run, Ah Die."
"I won't." Shangguan Die let out a faint laugh. "Do you really think that I can run when I'm already at the end like this?" freewebnσvel.cѳm
"Got it. You just wait for good news from me."
"Mhm."
Shangguan Yi still wanted to stay here much longer, but he knew that his father would definitely turn the Capital City upside down if he didn't go back. It had happened many times and he was dragged out of the Red District by his father….
That was quite embarrassing.
And if his father knew that he was trying to meet his sister and spent a long time with her, he would definitely be suspicious.
No matter how unwilling he was, Shangguan Yi could only nod, He stepped forward and grabbed a lock his sister's hair. It felt smooth and good in his hand. He kissed it. "I'll go back soon."
Shangguan Die's face turned red as she watched her brother left the room. It was only after he had left did she exhale. She didn't turn around because she didn't have the courage to face Nan Hua's expression.
"Are you thinking I'm lowly to do this?" Shangguan Die asked in a low voice.
Nan Hua was still leaning on the wall with an indifferent expression. She glanced at Shangguan Die. In truth, she had already witnessed countless even more disgusting deals in her past life because of her missions. Some of her targets were in the middle of having some disgusting deals before she executed them.
"No."
