1721 Lu Liangweis Concern

Yaoyao held hands with the others and said to Lu Liangwei, Were off to have fun, Mother.

Alright, go on. Remember to be careful. Lu Liangwei saw them out the gates.

She frowned as she watched the children leave. She turned to Zhu Yu and said, Is Yiner in a bad mood today?

Zhu Yu shook her head. I dont think so. Hasnt the Crown Prince always been this way?

Lu Liangwei was puzzled. But something didnt seem right with the way he spoke to Xueer just now. Xueer was startled by his tone and instantly changed her mind.

Zhu Yu smiled and said, Could you be overthinking this?

Lu Liangwei thought back on her sons strange behavior and the fearful look that Lu Xue was unable to hide. She ma.s.saged her temple. I hope so.

Ji Lingxiu had been spending her days in fear recently.

She had thought Lu Liangwei would summon her, but there had not been any news.

Ji Lingxiu considered telling her father about this but was worried at the same time. Judging by how much he gave in to her older sister, he might do something he would end up regretting later. With that in mind, she hid the details of the incident deep inside her heart.

However, there had been no word of this outside either.

Just as she was starting to relax slightly, Ji Qingyuan sent someone to invite her back to the Duke Ji Mansion.

Ji Lingxiu was nervous instantly.

Could her father be asking her to return over what happened with her sister?

When she arrived at the Duke Ji Mansion, her heart sank when she noticed the servants nervously avoiding her gaze. She instantly had a bad feeling about her visit.

She had just stepped into the front hall and called out to her father when Ji Qingyuan gave her a hard slap on the face.

Ji Lingxiu stood in a daze from it and her hand covered her stinging cheek as she looked at him in disbelief. Why did you hit me, Father?

You deserve it because youre worse than an animal! From what she saw, Ji Qingyuans grim expression contained anger and hatred for her. Ji Linghui is your sister. How could you betray her like that? You caused her death, and her corpse is nowhere to be found because of you. She trusted you so much, but you sold her out without blinking an eye.

Ji Lingxiu calmed down when she heard this. She took out her handkerchief and wiped the blood from the corner of her lips and her gaze swept past her older brother and sister-in-law, who stood at the side silently. She suddenly burst out laughing. Youre right. I betrayed her because if I didnt, all of us would end up dead with her. You dont need to thank me for this, but you dont have the right to blame me for this.

You ungrateful creature! Ji Qingyuans eyes turned red from anger. He lifted his hand to give her another slap, but Ji Xiu ran forward and held him back. Father, whats the point of you hitting her again after everything has already happened? This wouldnt make Big Sis come back to life.

Ji Qingyuan put his hands down. He looked a few decades older as he said in a pained voice, I know that you all never wanted to see Linghui again, so I sent her away to the villa. Even so, you still continued to look down on her even though she was so far away. Have you forgotten who was the one who played both the role of older sister and mother when you were young? Have you forgotten who took care of you

Ji Lingxiu burst out, Father, n.o.body else can be blamed for whatever happened to Big Sis. She isnt innocent. If you hadnt been so forgiving of her, she would not have ended up where she is today, Father.

How dare you still say such sarcastic words? Do you even have a conscience? Ji Qingyuan looked furiously at her and pointed at the door. Get out, and never come back. Ill pretend I never had a daughter like you!

The expression on Ji Lingxius face changed and tears fell from her face. She nodded. Alright. I know that Big Sis is the only one youve ever loved. I was always just an extra person in the house. With that, she got to her knees and bowed three times to him. From this day onward, whatever happens to me in life and death will have nothing to do with you. She stood up and turned to leave.

She had had enough of her father playing favorites and siding with her sister.

It was not the first time her father had slapped her over her sister.

To be honest, she had never blamed him for it, but now, it chilled her heart to hear her father cutting ties with her.

It did not matter if her sister had done wrong or not. To her father, her sister was always right and he would forgive her unconditionally.

His behavior was the opposite when it came to Ji Lingxiu.
