"If your father doesn't go to see your concubines, he must go to see your unborn child. Concubine Xu has told you the good news for two days, but you haven't rewarded her yet."
Ah Man looked at the time and saw that her father had been busy for more than an hour. She quickly put down the book and reminded him softly.
Su Jing looked up and saw that she was pointing at the dripping water not far away when she spoke. The meaning was obvious: he had been busy for a long time.
"Why have you been so nosy lately? You want to interfere when I read a memorial for a while longer, and you want to interfere when I want to reward my concubines."
Su Jing joked with a smile. Although he said he was disgusted, he felt very happy in his heart. He knew very well that his daughter spoiled him like this because she cared about him and was concerned about him.
"I'll prepare in advance and take care of Murong Kai in the same way in the future." Ah Man spoke to Su Jing with a smile, and Su Jing's smiling face gradually became solemn.
"You are such a heartless person. Now that you have a husband, you are using your father as a training ground. You are really..."
"Father, are you childish? You are jealous of him every day. What a shame." During the time he spent with his father, Ah Man had come to realize that his father was now scheming against his enemies, but the person he hated the most in his heart was Murong Kai. Whenever he mentioned Murong Kai, his face immediately turned ugly. Knowing that Murong Kai was his son-in-law, he thought that it was the father-in-law who just disliked his son-in-law. If you didn't know, you would think that the chaos in Bei'an was caused by Murong Kai.
Before, my father’s childishness was only shown to my mother, but now, whenever Murong Kai is mentioned, he always becomes jealous.
Ah Man knew that his daughter, whom he had taken good care of, had been given to Murong Kai, and he would definitely be unhappy. However, if Murong Kai was not given a chance, someone else would have to give it to him, so she did it on purpose, mentioning Murong Kai every time, hoping that he could get used to it.
However, things went against my wishes, and the bitterness in my father's heart seemed to have intensified.
"If you don't mention him, I won't feel resentful." Su Jing's answer was frank and sincere.
The flowers he had worked so hard to grow were taken away, and he couldn't even express his unwillingness. Girls are really extroverted.
"Then tell me where he went?"
"You don't need to know too much about the court."
"But he's my man. I always need to know where he went and whether he's in danger or not."
"You haven't gotten married yet, and it's your man, your man, are you shy?" Su Jing felt even more bitter. He loved his daughter so much, but she always said that it was all about him. That Murong Kai, how long have they been together, actually...
"My mother said that before she married you, you could force him to call him brother Jing and force him to say that you were her man. Why didn't you consider whether my mother was ashamed or not? Why are there some things that you can do but I can't?"
Ah Man asked with a smile, and Su Jing looked at her cute appearance, and for a moment, he was speechless.
When he recalled the loving past with the Queen, his heart was filled with sweetness. He had indeed told his children about those past events, but he did so to tell them that their parents were loving, not to ask them to follow their example.
Looking at his daughter who was acting so self-righteous, Su Jing felt like he had shot himself in the foot.
"You just mentioned the reward. What do you think I should give you?" Su Jing changed the subject forcefully. The lessons learned in the past few days told him that he had no chance of winning if he discussed what had happened between Ah Man and Murong in front of her.
When Ah Man saw that her father changed the subject, she knew that he had returned empty-handed. However, she did not win either. She had been testing her father these days, wanting to know where Murong Kai had gone. However, her father, who usually never hid anything from her, did not tell her.
He has been gone for a long time, so long that she missed him to the bone. She was sure that he would not leave because of a few words she said that day, but he had been gone for such a long time without any news. She just wanted to know if he was okay and when he would come back.
She wanted to know everything about him, but now she knew nothing.
