Unlike Li Shengyi's anxiety, Qin Songmo and the other two breathed a sigh of relief after listening to the story she retold.
Qin Songmo reached out and pulled his little daughter's hand out of his sleeve. He lowered his eyes to glance at her palm and breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't see any pinch marks.
"So Su Jinrou is the heroine. She will become the only female emperor in history, and now she... has reached the end of the story?"
"Shengyi said that the fathers would die, and Shengyi would die before the fathers. Now that none of this has happened, does that mean Shengyi won't die either?"
Qin Songmo is worthy of being Qin Songmo.
Just by listening to the brief story told by my little daughter, I can unravel it and extract the most critical part.
Before Li Shengyi's question was answered, she heard her father ask her a question in return.
A thoughtful expression appeared on her little face, and she nodded uncertainly, "That should be the case."
"If Su Jinrou dies, this story will collapse, and maybe we will die too."
This is a story with a strong female lead, and Chu Huaifeng, who has the most scenes, only plays half the role of the male lead in the plot.
If Su Jinrou dies now, the story line collapses, and no one is sure whether the story can continue after Su Jinrou's death.
What the little daughter said not only made Qin Songmo fall into deep thought, but even Meng Jiuan, who usually didn't like to think, became quiet.
He raised his head and glanced at his little daughter in front of him, half-jokingly saying, "That's great, the four of us, father and daughter, can be buried together. We'll have someone to keep us company on our journey to the underworld."
The next moment, a slap hit him hard on the back of the head.
Meng Jiuan covered the back of his head in pain, jumped up from the chair, pointed at the instigator and roared, "Chen Wangchen, I have tolerated you for a long time, don't think I won't beat you just because you are a child!"
A calm expression appeared on Shen Wangchen's baby face. "Who told you to say those discouraging words? Master and Miss will surely live in peace and safety and live a long life."
"If you want to go to the underworld, go by yourself."
Upon hearing this, Meng Jiuan bared his teeth at him fiercely.
It wasn't until Qin Songmo raised his hand that the two stopped quarreling.
"Su Jinrou is missing. I sent many people to look for her, but her body was never found."
[Ah, it really is the heroine's halo. I was wondering why Su Jinrou was so easily caught, it turns out she had a backup plan.]
She realized that she was in the habit of thinking in her heart, but in fact her father could hear her.
Li Shengyi looked embarrassed and repeated what he was thinking.
Meng Jiuan covered the back of his head and sat down again, "Shengyi, there is something Second Father wants to say but I don't know if I should say it or not."
"If you know you shouldn't say anything, don't say it. No one will think you're dumb if you don't speak."
Meng Jiuan, who had been challenged by Shen Wangchen one after another in recent days, was completely unhappy.
He glared at the other person fiercely, and then suddenly thought of something and bared his teeth, a smile appearing on his face.
"Forget it, I'm your second father. As your second father, I have a big heart and can't argue with a child like you."
As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at his little daughter with a smile, "Shengyi, what is the heroine's halo?"
Not long ago, when his little daughter was retelling the story, he heard the term "heroine's halo" from her more than once.
He understood the word "heroine", which roughly means the protagonist in the story.
But the word halo...
Li Shengyi was still surprised that her father had not found Su Jinrou's body, and didn't even know whether Su Jinrou was alive or dead.
After hearing Meng Jiuan's question, she turned her head and met his eyes.
Seeing the thirst for knowledge in the other person's eyes, she coughed lightly and spoke with some stammering.
"The heroine's halo is... Second Daddy, you fell in love with Su Jinrou at first sight. No matter what Su Jinrou did, you always thought she had her reasons."
"Just like in the original plot, Su Jinrou didn't want to commit herself to Chu Hong's dragon bed, so Second Father, you led your troops to force her to abdicate, and in the end, you even implicated yourself..."
Li Shengyi felt that his explanation was already very tactful.
But when she saw Meng Jiuan's face, which was originally full of thirst for knowledge, suddenly fall, she still felt a little reluctant.
"This is required by the plot. The author made you, Second Daddy, completely submit to Su Jinrou. Second Daddy, you...don't be too sad."
[Although Meng Jiuan was indeed quite clueless at that time... Oops! ]
Li Shengyi secretly blamed himself for not learning his lesson.
She carefully turned her gaze back to Meng Jiuan.
Seeing the other person lowering his head like a stray dog, with a depressed air all over his body, her throat choked and she laughed.
Shen Wangchen, whose home was robbed, saw Meng Jiuan being humiliated again, and his mood, which had just subsided, rose again.
Just when he was about to say something insulting to the other person, he heard the person next to him speak in a deep voice.
"Stop fooling around. According to Sheng Yi, the world hasn't collapsed yet because Su Jinrou is missing."
"Maybe she is not dead."
Qin Songmo's deep voice rang out in the study, instantly pulling Meng Jiuan and the others' minds away from their depressed mood.
Meng Jiuan frowned slightly and uttered a sigh, "Why isn't she dead yet? Oh no, she can't die. If she dies..."
"How about this? I'll send more men to search the surrounding area. Once we find her, we'll tie her up and turn her into a human pig. Just keep her alive, as long as she's not dead."
Meng Jiuan is not afraid of death. He has been on the battlefield for many years. Whether he opens his eyes or closes them, all he sees is blood.
