Jiang Weiyan deceived and lied to Su Wu, but he also loved his only daughter Jiang Qianxue.
However, over the past year, Ruan Hezhu came to the capital, and he felt guilty towards Ruan Hezhu. In addition, Ruan Hezhu was also the child of him and his beloved woman, so he was more partial to her.
But that doesn't mean that he doesn't love Jiang Qianxue. He looked up at his daughter and said in a deep voice.
"Qianxue is my own flesh and blood. If I succeed, she will also be promoted. Similarly, if I fail, she will only be imprisoned like me."
"I feel sorry for her, but I am her father after all. This is what she has to endure."
Hearing this, Yu Sanniang sneered. If she didn't know about her previous life, she might have thought that Jiang Weiyan was speaking the truth.
But after he succeeded in his previous life, Jiang Qianxue did not get promoted. On the contrary, in order to curry favor with his daughter who had become the Crown Princess, he sent Jiang Qianxue to marry into the barbarian tribe, which resulted in her life experience.
She didn't enjoy any honor or favor, but she was dragged into this suffering.
Jiang Qianxue is so unlucky to have a father like him.
Jiang Weizhen was also extremely disappointed with his brother. He said coldly, "Qianxue is a good child. We can't bear to see her die because of you. Now there is a glimmer of hope. Will you save her or not?"
Without waiting for Jiang Weiyan to speak, Su Wu hurriedly said, "Save him, of course."
Jiang Weiyan looked at him suspiciously and asked, "How to save him?"
"Write down everything you know about the people involved in Prince Chen's rebellion. This will atone your sins and ask the Emperor to show mercy and spare Qianxue's life."
After Jiang Weizhen finished speaking, Yu Shulan added, "We can only give it a try. We can't guarantee success."
After all, even if Jiang Weiyan didn't write the list, the emperor could still get it. This was not a great achievement, and the emperor might not necessarily pardon Jiang Qianxue's sins because of this.
This must be made clear in advance, lest Jiang Weiyan and Su Wu feel cheated again if they fail to save the person.
"We are willing to give it a try. Whether it succeeds or not depends on fate." Su Wu quickly assured.
The outcome is inevitable death, and this is the only way to have a glimmer of hope.
No matter if it worked or not, she would give it her all.
But it was useless for her to say that. After all, the list was in Jiang Weizhen's hands. He lowered his eyes and said nothing, not knowing what he was thinking.
Seeing this, Su Wu hurried to his side and asked sternly, "At this point, why are you still hesitating? Do you really want Qianxue to die with us?"
"I know you blame me for killing Yu Sanniang and her daughter, but this is my own business and has nothing to do with Qianxue. I can die with you, but Qianxue can't. She's still so young."
"Then Ruan Hezhu is only two years older than Qianxue."
Jiang Weizhen spoke in a deep voice, causing Su Wu's heart to sink into an ice cellar. "Do you really want Qianxue to be buried with that man? She is your daughter, but she has never served you for a single day."
"Have you forgotten how filial Qianxue was to you, serving you tea and water? You had a headache, so every time she came back from duty, she would give you a head massage. When you learned to cook, the first bowl of porridge she made was also for you."
"Once, you were as strong as a big tree in her heart. She said you would protect her forever, but now you, as a father, want to kill her with your own hands."
Jiang Weiyan's heart trembled suddenly, as if thinking of the past. He looked at Qianxue in panic, "Daddy didn't mean that..."
The rest of the words were choked in his throat and he couldn't utter them. He only saw Jiang Qianxue kneeling on the ground, tears streaming down her face. She didn't say anything.
But Jiang Weizhen saw thousands of words, and it was the collapse of the image of the father she once trusted, and she was extremely disappointed in him.
His heart ached. This was the daughter he had raised since she was a child. He doted on her in every way. How could he not feel distressed?
"Qianxue, I..."
"There's no need to say anything. You're right. I'm your daughter. You committed a crime, so I should be punished. I deserve death."
She was originally afraid, but at this moment she was unusually clear-headed. "Second uncle, second aunt, please go back. Don't try to save me anymore. Everything is my fate, and I am willing to bear it."
She had no choice but to deal with such parents, but for the past ten years or so, she grew up under love, whether it was true or false.
Since her father wanted her to die with him, then she would go with him. Living would be painful anyway.
This was the first time Jiang Weiyan saw fearlessness on his timid daughter's face. He felt as if a piece of his heart had been dug out, and the pain was unbearable.
He said in a trembling voice, "Daddy is sorry for you. You must live well without Daddy by your side in the future."
As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Weizhen and said, "Brother, please prepare the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. I will write down everything I know now."
Jiang Weizhen winked at the jailer, who quickly prepared everything.
Soon, Jiang Weiyan wrote the list and handed it to Jiang Weizhen.
Jiang Weizhen took the list, looked at Yu Shulan, and was overjoyed. This thing was the only straw to save Jiang Qianxue.
"I will report this to His Majesty as soon as possible. I hope His Majesty will spare Qianxue's life in consideration of your confession. You will wait for the news."
"Thank you, Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law. We were wrong in the past. I'm sorry. If Qianxue can be saved, I'll ask you to take good care of her in the future."
Su Wu knew that he really couldn't say this. His family had harmed the second branch, and now he was asking the second branch to save Qianxue and ask them to treat Qianxue well in the future. It was really shameless.
But even though she really regretted it, it was too late. Her and Jiang Weiyan's death was already doomed.
The other members of the Jiang family probably hate their branch to death. If Qianxue follows them, who knows how she will be tortured. Only the second branch will treat her well because of her kindness.
"Let's talk about it after we rescue the people."
Yu Shulan did not agree to her. It was not certain whether the person could be rescued now, and the rest was a matter for the future.
"Qianxue, wait for uncle and aunt."
Although she hated the two people in the third room, she still comforted Jiang Qianxue in a soft voice.
"Uncle and aunt, please don't do anything difficult for me. I'm not afraid of death."
At first she wanted to ask for poison so that she could die more easily, but when she knew what her parents had done, she felt that beheading was a light punishment.
"Silly child."
Seeing Jiang Qianxue taking all the responsibility on herself, she couldn't help but feel sad.
Everyone is an independent individual. Jiang Qianxue is pure and kind to those around her. She should not pay for the mistakes of her parents.
"Waiting for good news from uncle and aunt."
