Chapter 239 Confession (Part 2)

She...she wants to kill her biological father. She wants to...kill me?

King Liang was nailed there.

He moved his lips with difficulty, feeling a lump of iron in his throat.

He remembered the day when Qin Yurong came to him and handed him the letter.

When he looked at Qin Yurong at that time, he couldn't feel any fatherly love for her.

Xiao He's words... should have made the pain that had been lingering in his heart dissipate. Yes, yes, that's what she should have said.

Do not happily acknowledge him as your relative just because of his power and status.

She is like his daughter.

Although it was an accident, it still harmed an innocent woman. He was in the wrong, and the consequences must be borne by himself...

King Liang instinctively took a step forward, his mind a blur. Wait a minute! She had just said, "I had thought about it." "I had thought about it." What did "I had thought about it" mean?

It was like a drowning person who suddenly grabbed a life-saving straw.

King Liang had never heard such a cautious tone from his mouth: "So what now?"

What about now?

He stared at Cheng Nianying, not daring to look away.

"You've helped me a lot. I know what kind of person you are. I can tell the good from the bad." Cheng Nianying said every word seriously. Therefore, she couldn't take advantage of him.

"So...so?" King Liang's voice trembled slightly.

"So I can't, and shouldn't, kill you again."

King Liang's eyes became hot and he was speechless for a moment.

This is his daughter! His own flesh and blood!

She has a clear distinction between love and hate, she is straightforward and honest, and she is very skilled... How is she not like him? She is like him in every way!

"But if that's the case, I've betrayed my mother again and I'm sorry for the hurt she's suffered." Cheng Nianying frowned, revealing a sadness that matched her age.

Prince Liang's heart ached again, and he said hurriedly, "But this isn't something you should worry about. Xiao He... Xiao He... You've suffered so much. It's your father's fault. I owe you so much. And what I owe your mother should be repaid by me. How could I put you in a difficult position?"

This is what it feels like to be a father.

That's right.

"Everything should be shouldered by Daddy. You are Daddy's child, you are Daddy's child, you should be free from worries, and you should make up for the joy you didn't have in the past..."

After King Liang finished speaking excitedly, he realized that Cheng Nianying was looking at him with her head tilted.

He quickly raised his hand and touched his head and face twice. Was his hair crown crooked, or was he too emotional at the moment and scared her?

"Different from Prince Ding."

"What?"

"You are completely different from Prince Ding."

King Liang was naturally delighted to hear this, but at the same time, he was filled with anger. "Prince Ding! How dare he deceive you! What a bastard! Did he pretend you were his daughter?"

"Um."

"But you found out that he was lying to you, and you also guessed that I was your biological father. Xiaohe is so smart! So smart!" King Liang's eyes were hot again.

It seemed that before he could do anything for her, his child had already walked towards him on her own.

He knew why his brothers had been so overcome with emotion when they saw their firstborn, barely learning to walk, stumbling toward them.

Cheng Nianying looked away slightly: "It's not that hard to guess. After all, I've been fooled once, so I won't be so easily fooled this time."

"Cheated once? Who? ...Chu Zhen?" Prince Liang's mouth was now spitting fire, and he was furious again. "The Qin family deserves death! This Chu Zhen deserves death even more! She actually wanted to use Qin Yurong to replace you and deceive me!"

Cheng Nianying turned her gaze back a little: "Did Prince Liang believe it then?"

King Liang wanted to point to the heavens and swear, "No! Although... although I didn't think too much about it at the time and kept Qin Yurong for the time being, I don't think she should be my daughter!"

He was extremely grateful that he did not impulsively take Qin Yurong into the palace to meet the emperor and grant her status.

Cheng Nianying lowered her eyes and was silent for a while, then said dryly, "Prince Liang is also smart."

When King Liang heard this compliment, his eyes almost filled with tears.

"You...you can call me whatever you want from now on. It's all fine. Please never ever let your mother down. I will apologize to her. Whether she forgives me or not is irrelevant. But you must give me, and Dad, a chance to make amends."

At this moment, King Liang hated his poor eloquence and could only squeeze out such a weak sentence.

Cheng Nianying looked at him and said, "I'm revealing this matter today just to ask King Liang."

"What do you want to ask? Ask."

"The matter of the palace will be decided that day."

King Liang was at a loss for words and even began to stutter, "But, but how can I tell you this?"

He was drugged and had sex with her.

How filthy is that? How could it enter my daughter's ears?

"Ask clearly, and I will know how to treat you."

The fog in King Liang's mind suddenly cleared.

yes.

yes!

There should be no estrangements, no discord, and we should not live in ambiguity.

The expression on King Liang's face seemed to be both crying and laughing: "Xiao He, thank you for asking me..."

He found it difficult to speak, but it was not as courageous as hers.

"Back then, I was mistakenly led into Cuiwei Pavilion. I don't know if it was the wine I drank at the banquet, or something else, but I followed the aroma and walked behind the screen, and everything went out of control..."

"That year, the military power I held far surpassed that of others. The Queen set this trap to harm me... Every word I say is true, and I am not making excuses..."

…

Prince Liang and Cheng Nianying sat under the pavilion and talked for a long time.

He talked about what happened at Prince Ding's Mansion and how he didn't dare to attend banquets easily for many years afterwards.

Cheng Nianying listened quietly. She spoke little, but she listened intently. As King Liang looked at her, he felt a strange mixture of sadness and excitement grow as he continued to speak.

"It's time to rest." Cheng Nianying stood up.

"Yes, it's time to rest. Are you tired?"

"I have to go see Fu Yi early tomorrow."

The overflowing fatherly love in King Liang's heart came to an abrupt end.
