Chapter 251: Apology
"I'd really like to know why Lord Shangguan has been here all this time..."
Upon hearing Gan Luo's words, Shangguan Nantian immediately snapped out of his daze.
Shangguan Nantian then turned his attention to Gan Luo.
"Your Highness, I am truly sorry. I was thinking about something and was a little lost in thought. I hope Your Highness can forgive me."
Shangguan Nantian spoke here as if apologizing.
Gan Luo shook his head immediately upon hearing Shangguan Nantian's words, indicating that it had nothing to do with him.
Shangguan Mufeng happened to return, and when he saw Gan Luo there, he was a little confused. He never expected Gan Luo to come here, which was quite surprising.
"It's quite surprising that Your Highness is here again today."
To be honest, Shangguan Mufeng originally thought Gan Luo had left long ago, but he never expected that Gan Luo would stay here all this time.
"I simply wish to speak a few more words with your father and son."
Seeing Shangguan Mufeng's worried expression, Gan Luo was quite puzzled, wondering what had happened.
Gan Luo then inquired with Shangguan Mufeng and learned the whole story. He suddenly realized that it was because the governor's daughter was worried. Gan Luo was quite surprised, never expecting that Shangguan Mufeng would be worried about the governor's daughter.
"I only want to know one thing: whether you truly love the Governor's daughter. If you do, I will certainly be willing to help you, after all, you were once by my side."
As far as Gan Luo is concerned, he would definitely be willing to help Shangguan Mufeng, after all, Shangguan Mufeng is his male concubine, and more importantly, Shangguan Wukong has helped Gan Luo a lot in the past.
"Your Highness, you may not know this, but I do indeed quite like the daughter in the middle lane."
If he didn't like it, he certainly wouldn't have gone to the governor's mansion so many times. But for some reason, he always felt that the governor's daughter was a little angry, to the point that she was unwilling to see him at all.
That's why he's in such a troubled state right now. Every time he tries to see the governor's daughter, he's turned away. Shangguan Mufeng never imagined things would develop to this point. He thought things might be fine between the two of them, but now they've met several times over...
Gan Luo gently patted Shangguan Mufeng's shoulder, and then she left the Shangguan residence and went directly to the Governor's Mansion.
When Gan Luo arrived at the Governor's Mansion, he went to see Lan Yan without hesitation. However, Lan Yan, upon seeing Gan Luo, completely ignored him. Lan Yan harbored resentment towards Gan Luo, perhaps because Shangguan Mufeng had previously been one of Gan Luo's male favorites.
Gan Luo has always been a part of Shangguan Mufeng's heart, hasn't he? If Gan Luo and someone with incompatible values were to be together, they could definitely grow old together. But right now, she feels very uncomfortable.
Lan Yan knew perfectly well that her current dislike for Gan Luo stemmed from her own jealousy.
She had never accepted Shangguan Mufeng, only because of Gan Luo. If she had accepted him, she wouldn't be in this state now.
The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, and more importantly, the more she disliked Gan Luo.
Gan Luo was eager to know what the girl in front of him was struggling with, so he used his mind-reading ability to discover what Lan Yan was thinking.
For some reason, she found it somewhat ridiculous at that moment.
"I have something I want to tell you."
Lan Yan didn't know what Gan Luo wanted to say, so she asked her here.
"I don't think there's anything between you and Your Highness. If you have anything to say, you don't have to say it here."
Gan Luo never expected Lan Yan to say these things here, which really surprised her.
Gan Luo then turned his gaze to Lan Yan. "I want to tell you that there has never been any affection between me and Young Master Shangguan."
Gan Luo then told Lan Yan, "In my heart, I think Young Master Shangguan must really like you."
The governor overheard their conversation.
These people all say that Gan Luo is cold-blooded and ruthless, so why do they now feel that this is not the case at all? This really surprised the governor.
More importantly, one can always see resilience in Gan Luo.
The governor felt that Gan Luo was different from the other girls.
In the end, Gan Luo was just a woman, and she was quite young, wasn't she?
The governor then turned his attention to Gan Luo.
Lan Yan sensed someone's presence and immediately shouted, "Who is hiding in the shadows?"
The governor finally emerged from the shadows, only to be discovered by his own daughter.
"Father, why have you been hiding in the shadows all this time? It's quite surprising to your daughter."
Lan Yan truly never expected that her father would be hiding in the shadows.
The governor coughed a few times, somewhat embarrassed.
The governor then made up an excuse to brush it off.
Unexpectedly, they found an excuse here and successfully got away with it.
Although he had heard their conversation clearly.
However, the governor felt that there was very likely no affection between Gan Luo and Shangguan Mufeng.
But whether it exists or not doesn't really matter anymore.
After all, nowadays, everyone thinks that Shangguan Mufeng is in love with his daughter.
Otherwise, how could they keep coming here?
The important thing is that the governor noticed that Shangguan Mufeng and Lan Yan seemed to have had some kind of conflict.
Regardless of how they got into this conflict, the governor hoped they could get along well.
"I hope you will seriously consider what I just said to you, and I also hope that you will not act willfully like a child."
Gan Luo then left the governor's mansion without even turning his head.
If it weren't for the fact that Shangguan Mufeng had helped him in the past, Gan Luo would never have gotten involved in this mess.
