Su Jinxiu would never have thought that her father, whom she was so afraid of, was actually very happy when he knew she was coming.
Because the filial daughter in the rumors was not as good as others said, and the deep love between father and daughter seemed to not exist at all.
Ah Man's anger and anxiety were only directed at others. When she asked people to investigate the assassin strictly, she shouted slogans loudly, but did not take any practical action. In front of outsiders, she was very filial to her father, the emperor. In fact, after the outsiders left, she sat not far from him with a cold face, reading a storybook, as if it had nothing to do with her.
Su Jing's injury was not serious, but he was devastated by Ah Man's actions.
He also wants to spend more time with his children, but he doesn't want to spend time with them if it makes him sad.
But Ah Man just frankly showed in front of him that she didn't care and didn't matter, which made him very depressed. He wanted to get angry and tell her to get out, but he was also greedy for the time he could spend with her like this.
Whatever, the injury is not serious anyway, so let her do whatever she wants. It’s good that there are rumors outside that they have a deep father-daughter relationship, so that no one will be so blind as to target them.
Ah Man seemed to know what Su Jing was thinking. Seeing that he didn't say anything, she acted even more confidently. She ate all the food served to the emperor first and then picked some for Su Jing. She also drank the medicine in one gulp without even giving him any candied fruit, letting the bitter taste fill her tongue and nose.
Su Jing felt a little regretful and wanted to fight back, but he was reluctant to do so. During these days of physical and mental torment, the appearance of Su Jinxiu was like a spring breeze, making Su Jing happy.
However, Su Jing's joy did not last long, because although Su Jinxiu did not dare to treat him coldly, she was always crying, as if shedding tears was filial piety. Her eyes were red and swollen when she fed him, and she shed tears when she gave him medicine. Even when she chatted with him, she looked like she had suffered a great injustice, which made Su Jing feel upset.
"If you have any grievances, just tell your father." Su Jing finally couldn't help it. He glanced at Ah Man who was happily reading a storybook not far away, and said to Su Jinxiu helplessly.
"I just feel sorry for my father." Su Jinxiu lowered her head and tears fell again.
"I'm fine, don't worry. You should be happy, my daughter. There's nothing to be sad about." Su Jing spoke to Su Jinxiu, but his eyes were looking at Ah Man not far away. Ah Man seemed not to hear their conversation between father and daughter. She stared at the storybook for a long time before turning a page. She was so focused and serious that it made Su Jing hold his breath.
"Father, as your daughter, I should be happy, but I'm not young anymore and I still haven't found a marriage." Su Jinxiu had been serving Su Jing for two days. Finally, Su Jing expressed his concern for her and she said hurriedly.
"I have already discussed your marriage with your mother. You can choose the outstanding young man in Bei'an. If you like someone, I will grant you marriage."
"Father, you know that the person I like is not in Bei'an. Are you trying to break us up?"
Su Jing's answer made Su Jinxiu even more devastated. She asked for help, and her target was Murong Kai.
What can Bei'an do if she is a talented person? In the end, she will still be inferior to others. When she meets the queen and the princess, she will have to pay her respects. She wants to be the most noble woman in the world. If Bei'an can't do that, then the Great Zhou will.
The most favored prince of the Great Zhou is not the crown prince. It was Murong Jie before and it is Murong Kai now. If she marries Murong Kai, with Bei'an as her backing, it should be easy for Murong Kai to ascend to the throne.
She had heard about it when she was in the Great Zhou Dynasty. After Murong Kai disappeared, the emperor and his mother tried their best to find him. Their undisguised love and doting would definitely make him the future king.
During this period, Su Jinxiu has been thinking about the bright future after being with Murong Kai.
She waited for her father's answer. She believed that after knowing her filial piety, her father would definitely agree to her.
