Jiang Qiuning glanced at Jiang He, considering whether to tell the truth or not.
If she told the truth, the lady would definitely find a way to kill her when she returned to the Jiang Mansion.
But if she didn't tell the truth, how could her father agree to let her continue to follow Liu Qin and the others?
Jiang Qiuning was very conflicted. She couldn't figure out what Jiang He was thinking and didn't dare to say anything.
"Daughter...daughter doesn't know." Jiang Qiuning finally chose to hide it.
But the way she looked, it was obvious that she was lying.
"You really don't know? Then why did Liu Qin lie to me? She said that it was your stepmother who sold you to the pawnbroker? Isn't that what you told her?" Jiang He asked.
Although Liu Qin didn't say it so directly, this is what Liu Qin meant!
He hadn't wronged Liu Qin! If he didn't speak directly, how could he scare Jiang Qiuning?
Hearing this, Jiang Qiuning was shocked.
She did tell Liu Qin that her stepmother had sold her.
But at that time she was afraid that her origins were unknown and Liu Qin would not want her, so she could only say that she was sold by her family. In this way, Liu Qin would feel at ease to accept her.
But she didn't expect that one day she would return to the Jiang family and see her father again.
She didn't expect this to happen today.
"I...I...my daughter knows she was wrong!" Jiang Qiuning knelt down and admitted her mistake directly.
Seeing this, Jiang He felt distressed.
Perhaps he really was an incompetent father! He paid too little attention to Jiang Qiuning, so much so that Jiang Qiuning was afraid of him, and even when Jiang Qiuning was wronged, she didn't dare to tell her.
"How did you do that?" Jiang He pressed on.
Jiang Qiuning could only make up a reason, "A daughter shouldn't slander her stepmother and shouldn't talk nonsense in front of others."
Jiang He sighed and helped Jiang Qiuning up, "Ningning! We are the only two of us here, father and daughter. Can't you tell Daddy a few words of truth?
Do you like to continue following Liu Qin and the others?"
Hearing this, Jiang Qiuning's eyes suddenly lit up, and she nodded quickly, "Is it okay? Daddy! Can I continue to stay with my aunt and the others? They are so good to their daughter! Look, she has gained a lot of weight!"
In fact, she lost some weight on the way. Before she set off, she was a little fatter than she is now.
In the past, she didn’t have enough to eat or wear warm clothes, but when she was with Liu Qin, what she ate, drank and used were the same as Lin Yuehong and the others.
Liu Qin never treated her as a servant, nor did she ever treat her differently.
Hearing this, Jiang He's heart suddenly sank.
He seemed to believe Liu Qin's words a little.
"Then tell daddy the truth! As long as you don't lie to daddy, daddy will allow you to continue to follow them! As long as you are happy, daddy will agree to anything!" Jiang He stated his request.
He could let Jiang Qiuning continue to live with Liu Qin, but on the condition that Jiang Qiuning would not lie to him!
Jiang Qiuning was a little embarrassed, but in order to stay with Liu Qin, she nodded firmly.
"Okay! Then tell me, how did your stepmother treat you? Did she deliberately make things difficult for you? Did she sell you to the pawnbroker? You must tell daddy everything!" Jiang He ordered.
Jiang Qiuning was silent for a while, then she finally spoke and told Jiang He everything Huang had done to her over the years.
"My stepmother handed me over to Madam Huang, and Madam Huang handed me over to human traffickers. I was passed around by them all the way until I was finally bought by my aunt." Jiang Qiuning answered truthfully.
Upon hearing this, Jiang He's face was filled with anger. It was actually Huang!
Huang was truly his good wife! How dare she sell his daughter?
Seeing Jiang He so angry, Jiang Qiuning bravely comforted him, "Dad, I'm fine. You don't have to vent your anger on me. After all, I'm the mother of my eldest brother and the others. I don't want to hurt my eldest brother, second brother, and third sister because of me."
Huang gave birth to two sons and a daughter for Jiang He!
If Jiang He dealt with Huang for her, her eldest brother and the others would definitely hate her to death.
Her aunt died early, so she did not feel much love from her mother.
She cannot deprive her brothers and sisters of the right to be loved by their parents.
She didn't want her brothers and sisters to lose their mother because of her.
Her mother was very nice to her brothers and sisters, she just didn't like her.
Jiang He looked at the sensible and well-behaved Jiang Qiuning, and he felt more and more distressed.
Yes! Huang gave birth to two sons for him. No matter what she did wrong, he couldn't divorce her!
For the sake of his son, he could only make a big deal out of a small matter.
Since Jiang Qiuning pleaded for Huang, he had no choice but to go down this path.
"Ningning, do you really want to go to Kyoto with Liu Qin and the others? You really don't want to be with your father?" Jiang He changed the subject.
He was reluctant to let Jiang Qiuning leave him, but if Jiang Qiuning would be happier leaving them, he could let go!
Jiang Qiuning looked at Jiang He's expression hesitantly. When she was sure that Jiang He was not lying to her, she nodded honestly.
"Daddy! I don't want to leave you either, but I... I don't want to go back to the Jiang family." Jiang Qiuning expressed her thoughts.
The Jiang family is not his home!
Except for her father who cares about her, no one else likes her.
Why should she go back and be annoying?
The Huang family did not welcome her, but my aunt and her family were reluctant to let her go.
She wanted to go back to her aunt, to be with Rouer and Brother Hong!
Jiang He felt mixed emotions when he heard his daughter's exact answer.
It is definitely sad. In his daughter's heart, a few outsiders are more important than him, her biological father. How can he not be heartbroken?
But... Huang had done so many evil things to Jiang Qiuning, how could Jiang Qiuning possibly want to return to the Jiang family to be tortured?
He couldn't punish Huang severely, couldn't divorce her, and couldn't wrong Jiang Qiuning.
Let Jiang Qiuning follow Liu Qin to Kyoto!
Given the relationship between Liu Qin and Wei Cunqing, they will not have a hard time when they arrive in Kyoto.
Maybe he can even become a royal relative from now on.
With Jiang Qiuning as a bridge, his relationship with Wei Cunqing will be closer.
"Okay! Daddy promises you! But you can't forget Daddy just because you have that aunt Liu Qin! You have to come back to see Daddy often in the future, understand?" Jiang He finally compromised and allowed Jiang Qiuning to continue to follow Liu Qin.
Hearing this, Jiang Qiuning smiled brightly, "My daughter obeys! Don't worry, Daddy! No matter where I am, I will always be your daughter!"
Jiang He: ...
It sounds better when spoken than sung!
If he doesn't agree to this, Jiang Qiuning will probably hate him for the rest of his life, right?
Whatever! As long as she is happy, it doesn't matter if he is a little wronged.
"Don't forget that you still have a father in Luzhou!" Jiang He reminded.
Jiang Qiuning nodded vigorously: "My daughter remembers it!"
Seeing that Jiang Qiuning's mind had drifted away, Jiang He sighed helplessly.
He had never seen Jiang Qiuning so happy before. It seemed that Jiang Qiuning was indeed happier with Liu Qin than with him.
