Rebirth Of The General's Granddaughter-Chapter 135 - Closing the Door to Her Heart

Shangguan LingRan was as if he was immersed in a pickled vegetable jar. His voice was cold and eerie. “So what if he’s worth it? What if he’s not worth it?”

A bright smile appeared on Zi You’s face, like the moon breaking out of the clouds. It instantly illuminated the room and casted a bright light on the flowers in the room. “If he’s worthy, I will make him stand up again. If he’s unworthy, then he can’t blame me for being heartless.”

“I forbid it!” Shangguan LingRan flashed in front of Zi You like lightning.

Although Zi You’s qinggong was proficient like Old General Mu and Mu YingYi, she was still shocked by his speed.

She feigned anger coquettishly, “On what basis do you forbid it?”

“This.” Shangguan LingRan looked into Zi You’s purple eyes that held a bit of banter. Although her tone held blame, it had the flavor of her acting spoiled. He was elated.

He originally had feelings for this little yatou. Even when she had an icy-cold appearance, he couldn’t resist and wanted to get close to her. Now that her tone was sweet and cute and attractive, how could he hold on?

He stepped forwards and imprisoned Zi You in his warm embrace. He bent down to kiss the long-awaited pair of soft and fragrant pink petal lips.

The last time, it was an unintentional kiss. That wonderful taste still made him think about it. Many times when he couldn’t sleep at night, he would smile foolishly.

Now that he had such an opportunity again, he didn’t want to let go of the chance to sample that wonderful taste, no matter what.

Zi You felt her body tense. She had not reacted yet, when she fell into a warm and broad embrace. A pair of warm and soft lips landed on her lips. A man’s unique smell and a touch of bamboo scent also blew.

Zi You’s heart jumped. She looked up into a pair of phoenix eyes heavy with feelings.

The phoenix eyes were deep like a pool of water, as if they wanted to drown her. They were also like a pair of shining stars illuminating her heart.

Zi You’s heart hammered like a drum. Her brain was suddenly blank. She actually didn’t even reach out to push Shangguan LingRan away.

Shangguan LingRan could not help but be ecstatic. He held Zi You’s soft and fragrant little body and was foolishly happy.

Although this fellow lingered in the red-light district all day, he was extremely obsessed about cleanliness. Let’s not mention how he hadn’t done such an intimate act with another woman, but if any woman touched his clothes, he would go back and wash himself inside and out for a long time. And the clothes that were touched would be discarded.

A dandy who only knew how to play all day was only his substitute. In fact, the real Shangguan LingRan didn’t even know how to kiss. He only knew about a little chick pecking rice.

But when it came to love, he didn’t need anyone to teach him. Shangguan LingRan kissed Zi You twice and couldn’t help but want to stick his tongue out to tease those beautiful and soft lips.

Only, when his tongue touched Zi You, Zi You was startled like she received an electric shock. She fiercely shoved him and angrily shouted, “If you keep on being a scoundrel, we are no longer allies!”

Shangguan LingRan did not expect that she would lie obediently in his arms in one second, but turn into a small lion brandishing its teeth and claws in the next second.

His heart pained and he immediately looked wounded. He acted coquettish in an aggrieved manner. “Here you go again! You clearly have me in your heart, but you choose to look ice-cold. Do you know that I get hurt?”

How could Shangguan LingRan know how Zi You was feeling? For a moment, she really wanted to fall into that warm embrace and didn’t want to wake up. But her previous life’s sufferings immediately followed and reminded her that “gentleness is poisonous!”

Zhao HongXiang once held her in his arms like that. He made an extravagant and embellished oath. And what was the result?

So, she had vowed that she would close the door to her heart in this lifetime and not open it to anyone. Even if Shangguan LingRan’s embrace was warmer and broader, it wasn’t a place that she could stay. He was the Emperor’s nephew and guarded against by the Emperor. When she thought that her family needed her protection, she soon extinguished the flower of feelings in her heart and returned to her most rational state.

Zi You looked coldly at Shangguan LingRan and his phoenix eyes. He stared at her without blinking. His eyes didn’t have the previous free, easy, and confidence. Instead, they contained helplessness, sullenness, sadness, loss, and deep affection. Her heart felt like someone stabbed it. She had not experienced this kind of pain even when Zhao HongXiang had hurt her so deeply in her previous life.

Zi You forcefully suppressed the pain and throbbing in her heart. Her face was expressionless as she said, “If you want to be allies, don’t do these useless things. If you don’t, you can leave now. I will never stop you. I will find another ally.”

Shangguan LingRan looked at her expression and knew that she tightly closed the sliver of window into her soul again. He really did not understand why she was like this. He wanted to explain to her, but knew that this wasn’t the time.

Thus, he could only suppress the sourness in his heart and walked over helplessly to Zi You. He cautiously said, “I don’t know why you won’t accept me. But I can wait for you to think if your heart has me in it. I want to tell you that I can also give you Zhao HongXiang’s wholehearted devotion. What he cannot give you; I can give to you too. If you do not believe me, I will accept any of your tests.”

Zi You’s heart was like a pool of water without waves. A big rock was thrown into it caused endless ripples. It didn’t calm down for a long time.

She pushed the window open as if she wanted to borrow the cold north wind to blow out the heat in her heart and calm herself down.

After a few minutes, she said, “I will help cure Second Wangzi’s paralysis. It’s too lonely if only Taizi and Third Wangzi fight. It is only lively if more people fight. Don’t do anything to Taizi yet. Don’t let them doubt you. I will find a way to let Third Wangzi know about Taizi and Shangguan Lingluo’s scandal. Wait for my news!”

She closed the window and turned around. She coughed and her face was light as she said, “If something comes up, have Xiaoqing or Xiaohui notify me. Don’t come here yourself. Men and women should maintain distance. If grandfather finds out……”

“No one can interfere in what I want to do.” Zi You hadn’t finished speaking, but Shangguan LingRan interrupted her. He picked up his sable cloak from the coat rack. A cold wind blew and he whooshed by her.

Zi You looked in the direction that he disappeared from and didn’t turn away for a long time.

It was not destined to be a quiet night. Zi You tossed and turned and was unable to sleep. Shangguan LingRan was the same. He could feel that Zi You had him in her heart, but he did not understand why she would rather be engaged to Zhao HongXiang, whom she hated to the extreme, rather than give him a chance?

Could it be what he thought? She was afraid that if An Wang fu and General’s Manor, both who held military power, reunited in marriage, that would attract the Emperor’s fear that they would rebel? If so, what should he do?

Also, what could he do to make the Emperor and his sons stop eyeing the little yatou so greedily?

The people who had insomnia that night were also Taizi, Second Wangzi, and Shangguan Lingluo.

When Second Wangzi remembered that Zi You promised to treat his injury, he saw hope in her eyes for some reason. Once he thought that he could stand up again and be an upright and dignified man, he was too excited to sleep.

Taizi had no women to serve him for the first time that night. In fact, Shangguan Lingluo had come to entangle with him in the evening.

But the weird thing was when he saw Shangguan Lingluo seductively dressed and made up, for some reason, Zi You’s elegant and exquisite appearance would appear in his mind.

So, Shangguan Lingluo’s hands, tongue, and small mandarin-sized *** teasing him did not make him stir.

Finally, he became angry at Shangguan Lingluo for the first time in such a situation. “Don’t it anymore! It hurts. Don’t stay here tonight. Leave. I want to be alone tonight.”

Shangguan Lingluo was so angry that she almost fainted away! She had already guessed why Taizi was tired.

In front of the Palace today, when she smiled seductively at the imperial guards, they obediently told her everything about how Taizi struggled to entangle with Mu Zi You.

At this time, she must be an idiot if she believed in Taizi’s words of: “Baby, everything I do for Mu Zi You is not because I love her. It’s for her grandfather’s military power. Don’t misunderstand. Once I obtain Old General Mu’s military power, I won’t be afraid of even Fuwang.”

Shangguan Lingluo had changed from a Gongzhu whose Mufei died and who was helpless and without support, whom even the attendants could ridicule to a favored Gongzhu more favored than those with Mufeis. No one dared to offend her. She was second only to Taizi in terms of power. Everything relied heavily on Taizi and the Empress.

In order to obtain Taizi and the Empress’ support, she didn’t hesitate to gouge her flesh out to make medicine for the Empress when she was sick.

When she learned that although Taizi seemed elegant and gentlemanly, but was actually a lecherous person, she even snuck into brothels to learn how prostitutes pleased their customers.

She had succeeded. Taizi had many women. She wasn’t the most beautiful or the gentlest, but she was the most favored.

The reason was because Taizi liked stimulation. She could stimulate Taizi in ways that the other women could not.

Shangguan Lingluo thought of their first time and Taizi’s madness:from the early pain to heavenly pleasure. How could she fall asleep now? She called her confidant bodyguard over and soon, the two people entangled together like snakes.

As Shangguan Lingluo was passionately venting her beastly desires, Taizi was feeling regretful over his mistake.

Shangguan Lingluo relied on his favor and didn’t listen to him more and more. She first used the bodyguards whom he gave her to disguise as criminals to assassinate Mu Zi You.

Now, she wanted to entangle with him every day. She got jealous even when he went to sleep with Taizifei.

The shameless woman could indeed bring him stimulation that other women could not. Her bed skills were good. She was willing to do anything. In her eyes, there were no moral constraints. As long as it felt good, she could do anything.

This did indeed bring him temporary stimulation. But with the passage of time, the stimulus could no longer excite him. There was only worry and fear left.

He feared that this darned woman would crazily bother him in public. Then his image of a gentleman, maintained with difficulty, would be completely damaged.

He was worried that she would do something crazy like try to assassinate Zi You out of jealousy like last time.

That would not only destroy his entire plan, but also cause the loss of a woman whom he liked.

Yes, the more Zi You refused him, the more Taizi was addicted to her and couldn’t let her go.

This was probably all men’s true natures. They would not cherish what they had. But what they couldn’t get was always the best.

Taizi was tossing and turning in his bed, like a pancake cooking. He finally couldn’t sleep and summoned Darong Ka.

His handsome eyes were ferocious as he commanded, “Find a way to make Shangguan Lingluo leave me. As long as you can make her leave me, you can do what you want with her.”

Taizi knew that Darong Ka had long coveted Shangguan Lingluo. Darong Ka often peeped on them when they illicitly met.

Shangguan Lingluo was a noble Gongzhu, but often did lewd and lascivious acts that only prostitutes did to stimulate Taizi. Darong Ka had long been fascinated by this. He had wanted to sample Shangguan Lingluo’s flavor.

Now that he heard Taizi say that, a dark light flashed in his small eyes. His saliva almost dripped out. “Rest assured, Taizi. Leave her to Nucai.”

It was almost the New Year. Mu YingRui brought back Shui YouLian, who was three and a half months pregnant, and the newly named Sixth Yiniang, Hua Rongrong back.

Second Wangzi just had someone send Zi You a letter.

Zi You read the letter and smiled. This Second Wangzi unexpectedly opened a medical clinic in order not to have anyone find out that Zi You was going to treat him.

The medical clinic’s shopkeeper was surnamed Xie. He was sent by De Fei’s maiden family. He was very smart and very loyal. He also had some medical knowledge.

The key point was that he was a new face. No one would suspect him if he opened a medical clinic in the capital.

Second Wangzi’s idea was pretty good. Shopkeeper Xie just came to the capital. He had no foundation, so in order to gain a foothold, he needed the support of the capital’s nobles and officials.

Thus, Shopkeeper Xie found out that Mu Xiaojie wanted to form a female medical team. To express his support, he took the initiative to suggest to Old General Mu, “Old General Mu, although I am a man, I still deeply admire Mu Xiaojie. I am also a citizen of Great Yan and have a patriotic heart. I am willing to give my newly-opened Yichun Hall as the place for the female medical team to practice their medical skills.”

Everyone knew that theoretical knowledge was not enough to improve medical skills. Practical experience was very important. How could one’s medical skills improve if one didn’t touch a patient?
