However, she never said it out loud because she was worried that they couldn't bear it and she didn't know how to bring it up.
Perhaps, what she was more worried about was that they would regard her as a stranger after knowing the truth!
And at this moment, seeing this scene in the back mountain, she knew that she still owed them an explanation.
She took a deep breath, suppressed her fluctuating emotions, looked at Feng Xiao who was still talking, and called out, "Daddy."
The sudden voice of "Daddy" startled Feng Xiao. He turned around suddenly and saw the red figure coming out from behind the tree. His eyes narrowed: "Xiaojiu? Why are you here?"
He stood up and instinctively used his body to block the name on the tombstone.
Perhaps, in his heart, he didn't want to uncover the truth!
Feng Jiu walked forward step by step, her eyes fell on the stone tablet, and she asked softly: "When did Dad know about this?"
"Xiaojiu..." Feng Xiao looked at her, not knowing what to say.
Feng Jiu walked forward to the grave, looked at the name engraved on the tombstone, and said, "Daddy, don't you want to know what's going on?" She moved her eyes away from the tombstone and fell on Feng Xiao's face, saying, "I finally owe you an explanation."
Feng Xiao looked at her, then at the stone tablet, and finally said, "I knew many years ago that you were not Ge'er, you were Xiaojiu. That person told me that it was you who took over Ge'er's body."
He paused, looked at the stone tablet, and said, "It's just that after going through so many things, I know that you sincerely treat us as your family and protect us sincerely. Moreover, you also regard yourself as a member of the Feng family and have never done anything to let down the Feng family or us. So I believe that no matter what the reason is for you to become my daughter, I also believe that you did not forcibly take over Ge'er's body."
Hearing this, Feng Jiu smiled slightly and said, "In fact, for so many years, I wanted to tell you this, but I didn't dare to speak up."
She looked at Feng Xiao and said, "Qingge was harmed by Su Ruoyun back then. Her appearance was destroyed, and she was fed a deadly poison that turned into a cultivation base and sold to a brothel. They wanted her to die in agony. Qingge fought hard, but she still died in the end."
"When I woke up, my soul had already merged into this body. I killed the person who harmed Qingge. When I sat in front of the mirror and saw the disfigured face, a remnant soul in my mind was crying."
Seeing his clenched fists and his heaving chest, she sighed and said, "That remnant soul was Qingge. She told me that she was harmed by Su Ruoyun and wanted me to help her get revenge. She was worried about you and wanted me to take care of you. I agreed, so her remnant soul merged into my memory. Therefore, my memory has her memory. From that moment on, I became her."
Feng Xiao exhaled deeply and listened to her describe what happened in detail. He only felt a pain in his heart.
His daughter! She died helplessly like that. It was his fault as a father. If he could protect her, maybe that wouldn't have happened.
"As for what happened later, you all know it." Feng Jiu said, looking at him and said, "But, I wonder if Daddy wants to tell Grandpa and Mom about this?"
