1672 The Image Of Him As A Loving Father Had Fallen Apart

Long Yang sat down in a chair, his eyes weary. He massaged his brow and said quietly, “Weiwei, I’ll leave this matter to you.”

Lu Liangwei knew he was not in the mood to deal with the situation, but she refused to let the culprit bask in triumph.

At that moment, Ji’er was most definitely drowning in misery at the West Water Frontier.

The thought of Ji’er being sad and depressed gripped her heart painfully.

She was not going to let the culprit get away with this.

“All right. I’ll get Zhao Qian and Chu Yi to look into it.” She paused, looking at his haggard face, and softened her voice. “I’ll go and pack some clothes. We’ll set off for the West Water Frontier today.”

Watching her bustle all over the place, Long Yang wanted to dissuade her from going with him and exhausting herself. However, he changed his mind —Ji’er might refuse to see him if he went to the West Water Frontier alone.

If Weiwei went, Ji’er would at least be willing to see her.

After hastily giving Zhao Qian and Chu Yi instructions, Lu Liangwei packed a simple cloth bundle and departed for the West Water Frontier with Long Yang.

The West Water Frontier.

For the past few days, Ji’er pretended to be cheerful in front of Chu Qi but wept when she was alone.

The woman’s words were like a curse that suffocated her whenever she recalled them.

Every time she tried to convince herself that it was all a plot to create a rift between her father and her, she failed.

That woman had spoken with such certainty that it could not possibly be fake.

The thought that her beloved father had attempted to kill her on the day she was born wrung her heart. It was as despairing as if her entire world had collapsed.

Chu Qi could see through her all her forced smiles, but despite how broken-hearted he was, he had to feign ignorance.

He only let his worry surface when she turned away from him or while she was asleep.

One night, Ji’er went to Chu Qi’s study as usual, but Lin Mo was not there.

Lin Mo was Chu Qi’s personal guard who saw to his daily demands. He was also somewhat of a right-hand man to Chu Qi, and the latter entrusted him with various tasks.

However, Chu Qi would usually only send him away to deal with urgent matters. It was rare for him to be away for so many days in a row.

Ji’er had discovered that Lin Mo was not in the General Mansion some time ago. She had not thought much of it at first, but after finding him absent for several days, she could not help getting curious.

The frontier had been peaceful and free from war for the past few years, so why did Lil Qi send Lin Mo away?

Ji’er then thought of her own predicament.

Lil Qi must have sent Lin Mo to the imperial capital to inform her father of what had happened.

What would Father do once he found out?

She remembered how well her father had treated her throughout the years, and she used to think that she was truly blessed. However, she had come to learn that hidden behind his affection was a sense of guilt and that everything was not what she had imagined.

The image of him as a loving father had fallen apart.

Did she hate him?

She did not know.

However, it was impossible for her to continue facing him without any resentment.

Her father would definitely rush to the West Water Frontier after finding out what had happened. How should she face him at that time?

She was not mentally prepared yet. In fact, she may never be able to convince herself to face her father calmly, as if nothing had happened.

“Ji’er?”

Just then, a man’s gentle voice brought her back to the present.

She glanced up, only to find that Chu Qi was no longer sitting behind the table and was crouching before her with faint worry in his good-looking eyes.
