There was a glimmer in Jing Shiye's eyes. He looked at his daughter, not knowing what to say.
He understood that his daughter just wanted her family to be safe and sound, because only in this way would she not feel any regrets.
This is so similar to me, but how can I harm my own daughter? Even if I agree, Mu Qing will never agree.
"Yier, father knows why you do this, but do you really think it's worth it just for others?"
"Don't worry, father. I know you understand why I made this choice. The reason is actually very simple. I believe that father has fought on the battlefield for so many years and he must not want to see those people displaced. I am the same.
As long as there is war, they will not have a good life. Then I will really become a sinner in their hearts. If I can exchange one person for the peace of the people of Dalin, then all this will be worth it.
Father believes that you think so too. After all, you will make the same decision. As long as you can exchange one person for ten thousand people, you will not miss such an opportunity.
We are all flesh and blood. If we can turn hostility into friendship, wouldn't that be a happy ending for everyone? Father, you would be proud of me too."
When Jing Shiye heard this, for some reason, his nose felt stiff and a pang of sadness rose in his heart.
He was decisive and selfish, and almost forgot about the people of Dalin.
He began to feel overwhelmed, with his daughter on one side and the people of Dalin on the other.
If I say that I am not selfish, that is absolutely impossible. After all, I also hope that my daughter can live a happy life like the daughters of ordinary families.
But now he had never thought that his daughter would have such insight. He was very pleased, but he had to sacrifice his own happiness for her.
He was reluctant and unwilling to do so. If so, wouldn't his life be ruined?
"Yier, have you really decided?" When he said this, Mu Qing beside him looked dazed and couldn't believe it.
"No."
She began to panic. She never thought that her daughter was confused, and even the marquis was confused. If she entered the palace like this, she would never have freedom again.
How could she be allowed to suffer like this? She rushed forward, her face pale.
She couldn't accept this fact.
"No, my lord, Yi'er can't bear such suffering. She has been smart and considerate since she was a child. She always disregards herself for others, but now she has to be treated unfairly like this. I don't agree." Mu Qing shook his head violently, looking vain and almost crazy, which made people tremble slightly in their hearts. This look was really scary.
She ran to Jing Shiye and grabbed the corner of his clothes with one hand.
Then, his voice trembled, "My Lord, no, absolutely not. Yi'er, she is our Yi'er. We only have one daughter like her. How can I live without her?"
Jing Shiye's expression was slightly moved. He felt so sad when he saw his wife like this. Then he looked at his daughter so decisively, and he really didn't know what to do.
He looked up at the sky and roared at the top of his lungs, "Heaven is so unfair! Why would it treat its own family like this? I don't know what I've done wrong."
He believed that all this was the work of the gods. After all, his family had worked for the people, but now they had to accept such an outcome.
