Dressed as cannon fodder and vowing to kick the heroine’s head off

Li Jin, who rushed over after hearing the news, was out of breath, with beads of sweat on his forehead. His eyes were full of anxiety and worry, and he kept calling out, "Yao'er!"

When he saw his daughter was soaked, he felt a sharp pain in his heart, and immediately took off his coat without hesitation and wrapped it tightly around his daughter. He wrapped his daughter's trembling body with the warm coat, hoping to bring her a little comfort and protection.

"Yao'er, are you feeling unwell anywhere?" Li Jin knelt beside his daughter with an anxious look on his face. He gently pulled the clothes on his daughter's shoulders and stared at her with his eyes full of concern and worry.

Li Jin turned around and looked at the crowd of onlookers, his eyes seemed to be able to spit fire: "You all watched my daughter suffer a great crime, but no one lent a hand to help her. Is this the cultivation of the high officials in the capital?"

"Dad!" Seeing Li Jin, Yao'er's eyes instantly turned red, and tears welled up in her eyes. When she thought that she and Li Jin would never have a father-daughter relationship again, she was very sad, and tears flowed out like a flood.

Her father had been very kind to her and had always spoiled her. However, she had to face the reality that she was no longer a child of the Li family and no longer had this family affection. She was very happy that her mother was not her biological mother. But she couldn't bear to leave such a good father like Li Jin.

Yao'er's eyes were filled with attachment and reluctance to leave Li Jin.

Li Jin felt distressed when he saw Yao'er crying. He gently stroked Yao'er's hair and comforted her: "Don't cry, Yao'er. No matter what happens, Dad will always be by your side."

Yaoer threw herself into Li Jin's arms and burst into tears.

Li Jin hugged Yao'er tightly, feeling her trembling and crying, and felt very sad.

My daughter has always been spoiled by him. When has she ever suffered such an injustice?

It was all his fault. His position was too low, which caused his daughter to be looked down upon by other officials and their families in the capital.

Li Jin knew very well that if he was an important minister, these people would definitely not dare to turn a blind eye to Yao'er's experience.

In the end, it's all because I'm useless!

He is nearly thirty years old, and he is still just a small seventh-rank official!

Listening to his daughter's sad crying, Li Jin had no choice but to comfort her constantly.

"Dad, I am an unfilial daughter. I will not be able to show my filial piety to you in the future..."

"Yao'er, why do you say that?" Li Jin was shocked.

Could it be that my daughter is upset because her wet body was seen by everyone?

Li Jin hurriedly supported his daughter and advised: "Don't worry, no matter what happens to you, Daddy will take care of you! Daddy will definitely take care of you for the rest of your life! You will always be Daddy's good daughter!"

I felt a little more angry towards the onlookers.

If they hadn't ignored their daughter, would she be so pessimistic?

Such a young girl had her clothes soaked for such a long time in front of everyone, and no one thought of helping her change her clothes, no one thought of covering her up, and no one even thought of calling a doctor for her!

Thinking that his daughter might be ill at this moment, Li Jin was trembling with sadness: "Daughter, come on, Dad will take you out of the palace to see a doctor!"

"Lord Li, are you sure that this daughter is your biological daughter?" the man asked again, with a hint of doubt in his tone.

Li Jin took a deep breath and said slowly: "Lord He, Yao'er is of course my biological daughter. Although my official position is low, I cannot tolerate anyone alienating the relationship between us father and daughter." His voice was firm and powerful.

If the Jinyiwei hadn't said it himself, everyone else would have believed him.

The man laughed: "Master Li, you have been fooled. This daughter is not your biological daughter."

Li Jin's face turned pale instantly, and he stared at the other person. Anger surged in his heart, and he clenched his fists tightly, suppressing his emotions.

"Lord He, why do you say that?" Li Jin's voice trembled a little. "I know my daughter very well. She is absolutely my own flesh and blood." He glanced at the people around him, but he didn't expect that their eyes all revealed pity for him.

Mercy? Why should we have mercy on him?

Do they also think that Yao'er is not their biological daughter?

At this time, someone couldn't help but kindly reminded: "Master Li, we are doing this for your own good. Think carefully, is there anything unusual?"

After all, the other person has been cuckolded, so they are embarrassed to say it too bluntly.

Li Jin frowned and fell into deep thought. He recalled every detail of his time with his daughter, trying to find any possible clues.

Then he shook his head. He firmly believed that his daughter was his own flesh and blood, and no matter what others said, he would not change his opinion.

"Impossible." Li Jin waved his hands vigorously. "My own daughter, I know myself."

This child has been close to him since he was young.

Some people say that a daughter is a father’s little cotton-padded jacket. He feels that it is more than that. His daughter is his little cotton-padded jacket in winter and his fan and cool water in summer.

When his wife came to him with their daughter, he didn't believe it at first, but when he saw his daughter, he believed it.

For some reason, this daughter always made him worry about her. He thought it might be because of blood relationship.

Seeing that he insisted on his mistake, everyone couldn't help but sneer at him.

One of them couldn't help but said jealously, "Lord Li, good news, your daughter has been chosen by the emperor to enter the palace. Bad news, this daughter is not your biological daughter, but your wife bought her from outside to trick you into marriage."

Li Jin just felt dizzy.

"You...what did you say?"

Too much information, did he hear it wrong?

"You heard it right. This daughter of yours was bought by your wife on the street. She is neither your wife's daughter nor your daughter."

Li Jin shook his head in confusion: "Not this sentence..."

"Oh, you mean your daughter was chosen by the emperor? This is true. Miss Yao'er was chosen by the emperor and will move into Lanting Palace soon. The emperor's people are here, you can ask them."

Li Jin turned around and saw the eunuch who had been serving the emperor. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Please tell me the truth, eunuch!"

The eunuch quickly stepped back to avoid it.

This person is the father of the emperor's first concubine. He cannot accept his kowtow. It will shorten his life.

"Li Jin?" The Jinyiwei came over quickly. "Excuse me, did you meet a girl who was dressed very elegantly ten years ago?"

"Ten...ten years ago?" Li Jin became obviously panicked.

"Yes."

"Let me...let me think about it carefully..." Li Jin trembled and wiped the sweat that had dripped down his forehead at some point in time.

"It has been too long, I can't remember clearly." Finally, he shook his head.

"Oh? That's a pity. We originally suspected that Yao'er was the daughter of you and that girl..."
