Su Jing looked at Su Jinxiu, who was kneeling in front of him with a feeling of resentment. He saw the anger and resentment in her charming eyes, as well as the ambition that could not be concealed between her brows. Su Jing felt that the slight warmth that once existed in his heart had disappeared.
"The simplest and most straightforward reason is, of course, that Murong Kai doesn't like you."
Su Jing said with a smile, there was no longer any fatherly love in his eyes, his words were as sharp as a knife, making Su Jinxiu feel ashamed and angry, and also filled with resentment and unwillingness.
"What? Am I wrong? You used some tricks on Murong Kai in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Do I need to tell you what the result was?"
Su Jing's words sounded calm, but Su Jinxiu could still hear the annoyance in his words.
"Qu Jingze is Ah Man's person, so she will naturally speak for Ah Man."
"I didn't just ask Qu Jingze about your affairs in the Great Zhou." With just one sentence, Su Jinxiu's reasons were shattered.
"But I like him. As long as father is willing, he will certainly agree to the marriage between the two countries. Why doesn't father want to fulfill my wish? If I really become the queen of the Great Zhou, it will be good for the relationship between our two countries." Su Jinxiu didn't dare to look Su Jing in the eye. She could only continue talking with a stiff upper lip.
Su Jinxiu knew very well that if she spoke now, there would be no room for regret. The moment she regretted would be the moment of failure.
Therefore, she could not back down. Even if her father was angry, she had to keep talking, because if she kept begging, there was still a chance that she would get his approval.
"Before, you left a few letters at the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion in order to get married with the Zhou family. You should not have forgotten this, right?"
Su Jing spoke suddenly, but it had nothing to do with Su Jinxiu's marriage. It was as if he suddenly remembered it and said it casually.
Those letters were really too sensitive. They were a frame-up of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, so Su Jinxiu naturally would not admit it.
"Father, it was the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion who framed me. It was clearly their evil ambitions. They relied on the fact that the Queen was doted on and had long harbored rebellious intentions." Su Jinxiu spoke confidently and righteously.
She knew that her father and the empress were estranged, and she knew even more clearly that the entire Zhenguo family was in prison, so she trampled on them without any scruples. In her opinion, the empress and the Zhenguo family had long been despised by her father, and now she only needed to unite with her father against the same enemy.
But after she finished speaking, Su Jing laughed, and his voice was full of disappointment.
"Su Jinxiu, although I didn't teach you carefully, you still need to have the most basic responsibility as a human being."
Hearing this, Su Jinxiu looked at Su Jing in surprise. Su Jing, who was sitting there, had a cold look on his face, and when he looked at her, there was an unprecedented disappointment.
“Father, you can’t wrongly accuse me. This matter is really…” Even if she wanted to explain, she couldn’t utter the words anymore. She panicked. She didn’t understand why her father suddenly acted like this.
"Whether I have wronged you or not, you know it very well. For the sake of a marriage, you dare to slander the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion. Do you know what the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion means to our Bei'an? They guard our southern gate. If the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion falls, our Bei'an will collapse."
"Have you ever thought about these things? You can't wait to put the Zhenguo Mansion to death in order to please the Dong family, so that the Dong family can use the power of Concubine Dong of the Great Zhou to rebel and become emperor. Then, as the princess of Bei'an and a meritorious official of the Dong family, you will naturally be able to sit firmly on the throne of queen."
Su Jing spoke in a low voice and slowly, as if he was telling a story, describing the possibilities of the future.
All these had appeared in Su Jinxiu's mind before, and they were her beautiful vision for the future.
But because of A'man and Murong Kai, nothing could be realized.
Now, his father had said all this, and Su Jinxiu seemed to be able to hear her own heartbeat, which hit her mind again and again. She was confused and didn't know how to respond. She didn't even dare to look up.
