Who is the man who came to see you during the day? And why did he come to see you?

He didn't mention Fu Jiang's name, wanting to see how much his daughter knew about the matter and how much of the truth she could tell.

Xie Jinyao's joy vanished, replaced by a surge of hatred. "Does Father really not care about his daughter anymore?"

Even when someone comes to see me, you have to come over in the middle of the night to question them.

Do you know how much suffering and hardship your daughter has endured these days?

Even strangers know to feel sorry for their daughter, yet you haven't offered a single word of comfort.

Grandmother is back. With Grandmother around, no matter how ruthless Father is, he can't punish her any more severely.

She felt much more confident.

"Tell the truth, and I may be able to pardon your sins."

The Marquis of Loyalty and Valor threw out a bait.

Xie Jinyao desperately wants to escape this place right now, so it's hard for her not to be tempted.

"He is Uncle Fu, the magistrate of Qingzhou County. My daughter met him when she accompanied her mother to Qingzhou to visit her grandmother."

He said his daughter was well-behaved and adorable, more lovable than his two daughters. He felt sorry for her after learning that she had been punished by her father and sent to the horse farm, so he brought many gifts to visit her.

He never failed to complain about Marquis Zhongyong in his words.

Marquis Zhongyong sneered, "The only reason he treats you this way is because of your father; he wants to use you to climb up to my level."

Xie Jinyao was exhausted and furious after a long day. All she wanted to do was prove that Marquis Zhongyong didn't care about her enough, and she had completely lost her mind.

"No, that's not true. Over the years, he has been extremely good to his grandmother and mother, but he has never asked his father for credit."

Marquis Zhongyong continued to probe, "If you let your grandmother and mother appreciate his kindness, and then use my influence to seek benefits for him, wouldn't that be the same?"

Otherwise, where would a mere county magistrate get the money to send you so many valuable gifts every year?

“Uncle Jiang is not that kind of person. He said he gave me the gift because he felt that I was a junior he was destined to meet.”

Marquis Zhongyong clenched his fists. Liu had lied to him again. She wasn't a wealthy merchant's wife at all, but a gift from Fu Jiang.

Why is Fu Jiang so concerned about Jin Yao?

Xie Jinyao is proud and arrogant, so when did she ever agree to be a junior to a county magistrate?

Marquis Zhongyong's mind was buzzing. He heard Xie Jinyao continue, "And Uncle Fu has some secret business dealings and is quite wealthy. Although I once went to his mansion with my mother, it's not much different from the Marquis's mansion... Hiss..."

At this point, she suddenly remembered her mother's instructions not to reveal anything about Fu Jiang's family affairs to anyone, including her father.

The timely braking caused her to accidentally bite her tongue, and tears welled up in her eyes from the pain. "Father, I'm so tired. Please take me home."

Marquis Zhongyong's expression was sharp and cold. "Tell me, why did your mother take you to the Fu family?"

Xie Jinyao finally realized something was wrong, "I don't know either, that's all I know..."

A cold longsword was placed against Xie Jinyao's neck, but even colder than the sword was the voice of the Loyal and Brave Marquis.

"If you dare to conceal a single word, I will ensure you never have another chance to speak."
