But then Su Muxi choked up and said, "Father, it's so good to be your daughter."

Hearing this, Su Xing couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat.

She raised her hand slightly and hugged Su Muxi back.

He can wash his clothes when they get dirty, but all he wants now is to hug his precious daughter.

The father and daughter hugged each other for a long time before letting go.

Looking at Su Muxi's tear-streaked face, Su Xing murmured, "Xi'er, it's your father who made you suffer."

If he hadn't been saved by the Marquis of Anyang five years ago, Xi'er wouldn't have married into the Marquis of Anyang's household.

If he hadn't stubbornly stayed in the capital as a minor imperial physician, but instead returned to his family to manage their business, Xi'er would have been the daughter of the Su family, admired and respected, instead of being trampled on like she is now.

So, the grievances that Xi'er is suffering now are ultimately because of him.

He's the one who wronged Xi'er!

Su Muxi wiped her tears haphazardly with her sleeve and said earnestly, "Father, what are you saying! Marrying into the Marquis of Anyang's mansion was my own choice, it has nothing to do with you! If you continue to take all the blame on yourself, I will get angry and never speak to you again!"

"...But the reason you married Qiao Ziming was because Marquis Anyang saved my life, so in the end it's all because of me."

But Su Muxi said meaningfully, "Even if I didn't know how to be grateful and didn't agree to marry Qiao Ziming because of that incident, I'm afraid I would have married into the Marquis of Anyang's mansion for other reasons."

Su Xing frowned. "Xi'er, what do you mean by that?"

Su Muxi didn't answer, but struggled with the question in her heart before finally asking the question that had been bothering her all the way.

"Father...am I really your biological daughter?"

"My mother...did she know the Marquis of Anyang before?"
