When Su Jing walked back to the imperial study angrily, Ah Man was still reading a book in the imperial study.
"Why haven't you gone home? It's getting late." Su Jing was a little surprised. He thought A'man had left a long time ago.
"There's nothing to do when you go back, so just stay here for a while." Ah Man explained softly, but did not dare to look Su Jing in the eye.
The sudden death of her mother made her particularly eager to spend time with her father. Even though he had left, she still longed for the study room that carried his scent.
"Why did you come back so soon? Did Concubine Xu make you angry? I told you to be patient when you left."
"She filed a complaint against you, saying that you treated her harshly."
"She even knows this? I did let her be treated harshly, but you know this."
Su Jing looked at Ah Man's serious expression, and finally a faint smile appeared on his face.
"She thinks that with the baby in her belly, she can sow discord between us father and daughter."
"But in the end, you got angry, father, and left, didn't you? I know you would believe me."
Although she had misunderstood her father before, she now knew very well that no matter what happened or when, her father would always stand firmly on her side.
"Before, I thought she might be a pitiful person."
"Father, you are kind to women." Ah Man teased with a smile, but Su Jing changed his expression and told her seriously, "Your father has only pitied your mother and loved her in his life. Your mother said before that she was also a pitiful person. She fell in love with me at first sight, but her family did not dissuade her, but sent her to the palace."
"My mother and you feel sorry for a daughter whose parents don't love her."
"Your mother loved her and took good care of her. Over time, she also gained some trust in her. Who would have thought that this trust could sometimes be fatal?"
Su Jing couldn't help but sigh as he spoke, "She probably doesn't even know that she poisoned me and your mother."
"You are so stupid and yet you still act like a demon. You really deserve to die."
Ever since she found out that it was Concubine Zhu who poisoned her mother and father, Ah Man's words were full of resentment when she talked about her.
"She has listened to her family's instigation. During this period, she has been trying to sow discord between us. You..."
"Then go ahead and sow discord between us. Are we afraid of her? But father, have you ever thought about her purpose in sowing discord between us?"
Su Jing naturally knew the purpose of the Xu family and Concubine Xu, but seeing his daughter asking him, he was in no hurry to tell her. He just looked at her with questioning eyes.
"Father, the Xu family is not after the position of crown prince, right?"
Concubine Xu and herself had no contact, and in the palace, it could be said that they kept to themselves. She stirred up trouble for no reason and targeted her. It was definitely not just for her, but also for Xuan'er.
As long as the emperor becomes disgusted with her and finds an unbearable husband for her, Xuan'er will have no one to rely on. However, the child in Concubine Xu's belly has the Prime Minister and his disciples behind him. By then, Xuan'er will have no competitiveness.
"More than that." Su Jing only gave a two-word evaluation to Ah Man's guess. But when Su Jing finished speaking, Ah Man was already confused.
"Then they..."
Su Jing had no intention of giving any advice, he just looked at Ah Man with more anticipation in his eyes.
His daughter is very smart and he believes that she will be able to see through the Xu family's thoughts.
He could tell his daughter about the Xu family's thoughts, but he didn't have much time to accompany Ah Man to grow up, so he had to learn to let go of many things that he could do for her. Only in this way could Ah Man grow up quickly and he could safely hand over the country of Bei'an to them.
"If you can't think of it, go back and think about it carefully. When you know the result, tell me. I'm tired." Su Jing waited for a long time, but there was no reply from Ah Man. He couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
Ah Man could see the mood of her father, but she couldn't guess Concubine Xu's intention, so she could only leave obediently. As soon as she walked out of the door of the imperial study, a cold wind blew in her face, and her originally confused mind suddenly became clear. She turned around suddenly and said to her father: "Father, does she want to take charge of the harem?"
