Xiao Yanqing held her hand all the way, and the warm touch of his palm made her feel at ease.

"Yan Qing." She suddenly called him.

"what happened?"

"Don't be angry if you hear anything later, Yanqing."

Xiao Yanqing paused for a moment, "What are you going to do, Yu'er?"

She shook her head. "I'm worried about what he will say, so don't be angry, Yan Qing."

He suddenly understood what she meant. Was she worried that his plan would be exposed if he came out?

"That depends on how Yuer handles it." He reached out and stroked her cheek, reminding her again.

At the moment, the most important thing is to prevent her from suffering any grievances or harm again.

"Haha, okay, don't worry." She smiled without a trace of worry.

Not long after arriving at the mansion, people from the Jiang residence arrived.

This time he didn't just barge in as usual.

"Father, brother." Qing Yu rushed out from the house to greet them.

Jiang Zhuo and Jiang Mo then got off the carriage.

"It seems that your status is different now. Your father needs you to wait for me." Jiang Zhuo had an intriguing smile on his lips, his words filled with disdainful sarcasm.

She lowered her head in fear and said, "My daughter doesn't dare. It's because she came out too late."

"Father, brother, please come in." She gestured.

Jiang Mo, who was standing by, followed behind him without saying a word, which was rare.

After entering the inner room, the maid brought tea and the three of them sat down.

Jiang Zhuo's few simple greetings, seemingly full of concern, were actually extremely fake, and he quickly got to the point.

"My daughter, I have something to say to you."

She immediately understood Jiang Zhuo's intention and turned to the guards and maids beside her.

"You guys go down first."

Until they all left, only one guard was left, and Jiang Zhuo naturally turned his gaze to him.

"Don't worry, Dad. He is the person I am most familiar with in Huanxiang Pavilion and I can trust him." She had a natural smile on her face, and her calmness concealed a hint of fear.

Jiang Zhuo smiled casually, "Haha, maybe your daughter is worried that your father and your brother will do something to you."

"Yes." She answered directly without hesitation, which was completely beyond their expectations.

Jiang Mo also spoke up in his intolerance, the irritation between his brows could not be stopped, "Jiang Qingyu, you have to understand that we give you this respect because of the people behind you, so don't take yourself too seriously."

She naturally would not be afraid of Jiang Mo's threats. "My daughter is getting weaker and weaker, and she doesn't want to suffer unjust punishment for no reason."

"If Brother Ruozhou knew, it would be you or the Jiang family who would suffer. Isn't it clear to me, brother?"

"Jiang Qingyu! Don't be so shameless!" Jiang Mo couldn't bear such humiliation and stood up in anger.

"Mo'er!" Jiang Zhuo immediately scolded.

Jiang Mo was forced to shut his mouth in anger, turn his face away and stop talking.

"Qing Yu, you know that your brother has always been like this, so don't blame him."

She naturally followed Jiang Zhuo's wishes, but a childish arrogance also appeared on her face, "I said, if brother doesn't cause trouble for me, I won't make things difficult for brother either."

"It's best if you understand."

Jiang Zhuo didn't say anything more and went straight to the point.

"My daughter has just returned from the palace. I heard that a concubine came to see her?" Jiang Zhuo's eyes were sharp as he examined the changes in her expression.

"Yes, what's wrong, Dad?" She pretended to be confused.

"Did you say anything to her?"

"What did you say..." She pretended to think, "Nothing was said, just asked me some questions."

"what is the problem?"

"Do you like the palace or something like that?" Her casual attitude captured what Jiang Zhuo cared about.

"Just that? Nothing else?" It was obvious that Jiang Zhuo didn't trust her.

"Others? You seem to care about me a lot. Will I stay in the palace?" She gave the answer again.

Jiang Zhuo said solemnly, "Qing Yu, do you know that His Majesty has been to her bedroom several times in recent days? Are you trying to win her over?"

She lowered her eyes. It seemed that Fang Ruo had already succeeded, but Jiang Zhuo didn't care what she heard at all, he only cared about what she said.

"I don't understand. Isn't it normal for Brother Zhou to go to the palace of the concubines in the harem? Moreover, why should I win her over?" She became more and more confused in the face of Jiang Zhuo's questioning.

"It really wasn't you who did it?" Jiang Zhuo asked again.

She shook her head. "Didn't she find me? And what impact does the harem have on my father?"

She naturally brought up the ridiculousness of the loopholes in her words. He clearly came to find her, but then asked her if she had any tricks.

Jiang Zhuo's reaction is enough to prove that this matter was instigated by Jiang Zhuo.

"Daughter, the change in the harem situation will affect everyone in the court."

"I still don't understand."

Jiang Zhuo narrowed his eyes, "Father was just wondering, daughter, why don't you stay in the palace forever?"

"Stay in the palace? Why?" She looked slightly surprised.

"Since His Majesty is willing to listen to you, why not..." Jiang Zhuo did not continue with the rest of the sentence.

Qing Yu also came to a realization during their conversation, "Dad wants to give me to Brother Zhou, right?"

"My daughter, since you are a member of the Jiang family, you should shoulder the responsibilities of the family. Besides, don't you like His Majesty very much?"

"Wouldn't it be the same if I changed my identity?"

After hearing this meaningful sentence, the people hiding in the house gritted their teeth. It seemed that this day had finally come.

"Father, is this not possible now? I can enter the palace often." She was very embarrassed by this request.

"Why Qingyu, don't you want to?"

She lowered her head, her expression full of sadness. "Why did you make sure Brother Zhou wouldn't think this wasn't your intention?"

"You are such a smart daughter. Even if His Majesty finds out that this is my intention, what can he do? He can either choose to keep you in the palace as a concubine, or watch you marry someone else."

She suddenly sneered, "Oh, Dad is really good at this."

"Qing Yu, you must remember that this is your mission as a member of the Jiang family. You are no longer a child."

Her bright eyes were filled with endless sadness, but this was only a superficial phenomenon.

No matter how the gears of time turned, she eventually returned here and could not escape the fact that she had to get married. Xiao Yanzhou, who was able to help her this time, also became the beneficiary.

How can she reverse this situation?

"Dad, do I have to choose?" In an instant, tears flashed in her eyes.

"Is there anyone more suitable for my daughter?" Jiang Zhuo's pretentious look was tinged with viciousness.

She did not respond to this question. She was silent for a moment and then slowly said, "Father, let me think about it."

"Okay, as soon as possible."

"Yes."

After getting the answer, they did not stay any longer and stood up to leave.

Jiang Zhuo turned sideways and looked at her. "Daughter, your father is reminding you that it is best for you to weigh what to say and what not to say."

"Yes, my daughter understands."

This is Jiang Zhuo’s final warning. There is only one outcome for a disobedient chess piece, and that is death.

She stood outside and watched them leave. Her pure eyes were immediately immersed in a deep pool. She clenched her fists as if she wanted to tear her palms.

It’s ridiculous that Jiang Zhuo didn’t even mention the last time he was treated cruelly. Why would he have such a disgusting father!

Death was no longer something he could enjoy, she wanted him to endure excruciating pain.
