"Yier!"
It was rare for Father Xu to lose his composure. He was an invincible general on the battlefield, and his emotions were invisible on his face, but now he saw his daughter who had been lost and found.
For the first time, Mr. Xu was at a loss. A big, strong man, now had tears in his eyes.
"Father, let's go inside and talk first."
Xu Lingyi's attitude was not as enthusiastic as before.
Father Xu was still extremely excited and did not notice it.
As soon as Xu Lingyi entered, she saw her stepmother and sister.
They were as surprised as if they had seen a ghost when they saw her.
The teacup in Xu Lingmian's hand fell directly to the ground.
"You!! Are you still alive?"
Xu Lingmian was so surprised that he lost his composure. He even showed fear of Xu Lingyi on his face and blurted out:
"Are you a human or a ghost?"
"Shut up."
Father Xu's face was cold. His daughter had finally returned home, so how could he listen to such words?
"This is your sister. Shouldn't you be happy that she's back? Why are you reacting like this? Don't you want your sister to be safe?"
Xu Lingmian was stunned by his father's continuous questioning.
After all, the eldest princess reacted quickly and quickly held Xu Lingmian's hand.
"General, Mian'er is too surprised. It's not that she doesn't care about sisterly love."
The princess stepped forward again and took Xu Lingyi's hand affectionately. "Yier, I'm glad you're back. I haven't heard from you in a while. Mother and your sister must have been worried about you."
Xu Lingyi shook her hand off, a sneer flickering across her lips. "I dare not trouble Mother to worry about me. Why are you being so hypocritical? Who are you pretending for? You don't know that I hate this kind of hypocrisy the most. You appear to be kind and warm to me, but behind my back, I'm afraid Mother is cursing my early death day and night."
Princess:"……"
This was the first time the princess met someone like Xu Lingyi.
Although she is a noble lady, she has no dignity at all.
Even though she said such nonsense, Father Xu had no intention of scolding her.
The princess felt upset and wanted to speak up to defend herself, but Xu Lingyi didn't give her a chance.
"Father, where is grandmother?" Xu Lingyi asked deliberately.
Father Xu frowned, "Father sent your grandmother to the manor. Your grandmother did something wrong."
"Grandma, what did I do wrong? My daughter survived the ordeal. I've been away from home for over three months now. I haven't seen you in a long time, and I miss you terribly."
It was the first time that Mr. Xu saw his daughter's weird side, and he realized that she had changed a lot compared to before.
He is no longer timid and weak in character, but has become more resolute.
Father Xu was relieved. "Your grandmother was unkind. After you disappeared, she spread rumors that you eloped with a man. After returning to Beijing, I cleared up the rumors and dealt with your grandmother."
After he said this, he was a little worried that his daughter would not be able to accept this result.
"After all, your grandmother is your elder and your father's biological mother. Even if she has done something wrong, as a son, you cannot lay hands on her."
Father Xu and this mother have long lost their affection for each other, but that's just the way the world is.
Even he could not break the moral code of the world and attack his biological mother.
"My daughter understands."
She said she understood, but Xu Lingyi showed a mocking smile.
Father Xu knew that his daughter was angry, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Is Yier not satisfied?" asked Xu's father.
Xu Lingyi shook her head.
"Is there anything you can't tell Daddy? If you're not satisfied, I'll think of a solution, okay? Or what does Yi'er want to do?"
Xu Lingyi was playing with the whip she carried with her, but she looked at Xu Lingmian with a half-smile in her eyes.
When Xu Lingmian thought of the pain in her cheeks and body a few months ago, she couldn't help but step back again and again, feeling very tense.
"What if the daughter wants her grandmother to die? Can the father do that for her?"
Xu Lingyi asked with a smile.
Father Xu was silent for a long time.
He was thinking about the feasibility of this matter. Although it was extremely rebellious, but... his mother really deserved it.
In Xu Lingyi's eyes, this was his silent rejection.
"Father, that's not necessary. I was just joking. How could I possibly kill my grandmother? She's my grandmother, an elder. I wouldn't do such a treasonous thing."
"But father, you should have been back in Beijing for some time. You naturally know how grandmother treated her daughter in the past, right?"
Xu Lingyi stared at Xu's father with her beautiful eyes.
Xu Lingyi's eyes are very similar to her mother's. Xu's father thought of his deceased wife's face and felt full of guilt towards his daughter.
"I know." Father Xu lowered his head. It was because he knew that he was filled with regret.
He couldn't protect his wife before, and now it seems he can't protect his daughter either.
He spent his whole life defending his country, but he couldn't even protect the people he cared about the most.
He wanted to reach out and touch Xu Lingyi's head like he did in the past.
But she avoided him.
Father Xu was disappointed. He sighed and said, "Yier suffered a lot when I was away from the capital. I have already punished the guards."
"As for your grandmother, if you want to do something, go ahead."
Xu Lingyi finally smiled sincerely. She deliberately said, "My daughter's engagement was broken off in the street that day. Grandmother had her slapped in the face and even tortured. She had a high fever and almost died. During that time, she was often hungry."
After hearing this, Mr. Xu clenched his fists, his eyes turned red, and he almost burst into tears.
"Yier has suffered."
"Father, I don't want Grandmother's life, but I also don't want her to live a life of luxury on the farm. She tortured me and nearly killed me. For the rest of my life, I won't let her die. I will only let her live in pain, a life worse than death. Whatever she did to me in the past, I will do to her twice as much in the future."
