She hesitated for a moment, then asked, "It seems that Prince Su and my mother are old acquaintances?"
Xiao Zhen's gaze fell on her face, and upon closer inspection, he discovered that she looked remarkably like Lan Yin, as if they were carved from the same mold.
He was momentarily dazed, then lowered his eyes, concealing the pain within them.
"Qingqing, I...I am actually your biological father." After hesitating for a moment, he finally said those words.
Before saying those words, he had actually hesitated for a long time.
But considering that Lan Yin had passed away, he naturally wanted to acknowledge this only daughter as his own.
Although it was somewhat hasty for him to believe that Rong Qingqing was his daughter based solely on Shangguan Boyan's one-sided account.
However, he had a feeling that Rong Qingqing was indeed his daughter.
Because he had been with Lan Yin, and Shangguan Boyan said that Lan Yin had only been married for two months, but she was already more than three months pregnant. Wasn't that the time he had been with Lan Yin?
Shangguan Boyan was unaware of his relationship with Lan Yin and could not possibly have fabricated such a lie.
Therefore, he was convinced that Rong Qingqing was indeed her daughter.
After saying it, he felt much more relaxed and even looked at Rong Qingqing with expectant eyes.
But at this moment, Rong Qingqing thought she had misheard his words.
Xiao Zhen actually said that he was her biological father. What's going on?
She turned to look at Xie Jingrun, her eyes questioning him.
Xie Jingrun nodded. "What he said should be true."
Rong Qingqing was extremely shocked, her expression one of utter astonishment.
If even Xie Jingrun said so, then Xiao Zhen must indeed be her biological father.
This news is absolutely explosive.
If Xiao Zhen is indeed her biological father, then doesn't that mean he and her mother had a past relationship?
Did her mother have a relationship with him before marriage, or after marriage...?
If it's the latter, then wouldn't her mother have cheated on her and given birth to her?
Thinking of this, she felt a complex mix of emotions.
She thought for a moment, then looked at Xiao Zhen again, "Can I ask you some questions?"
Xiao Zhen released her hand, his expression extremely gentle. At this moment, the murderous aura on his body seemed to be replaced by tenderness, and he became elegant and gentle.
"you say."
Rong Qingqing bit her lip and said with some hesitation, "You said you are my biological father, so what's going on between you and my mother?" She tried to ask tactfully.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhen immediately understood her meaning and sighed, saying, "It's not what you think. Your mother and I knew each other before she married Rong Shiqing. We knew each other a long time ago and were together, but later she left me in a fit of anger because of some things. At that time, the Xiongnu invaded, so I had to temporarily put aside my idea of finding her and focus on fighting the enemy."
But the Xiongnu invasion that time was well-prepared. That battle lasted for half a year. When I finally had some free time and remembered to go find your mother, I learned that she had already married several months ago…”
At this point, his eyes dimmed, and he sighed deeply. Recalling the scene when he learned that she had married, he still couldn't let go of the sadness.
When he heard that news, he was completely disheartened and depressed for a long time.
When he regained his composure and wanted to win Lan Yin back, he heard that she had already given birth to a child for that man.
When he heard the news back then, it was a devastating blow to him. He also harbored resentment and refused to listen to any news about her. At that time, he angrily thought that he never wanted to see her again in this life...
