"Shouldn't Father have asked who bullied me first? Shouldn't he have shown concern for my injuries first? Why is he questioning me instead?"
Her angry question made Mo Jinghao a little embarrassed. He then said, "This is also your father's concern for you. How important is a woman's face? What use is a face without beauty?"
Mo Bilian's face darkened further. "Does Father think that once my face is ruined, I'll lose all my value and be discarded like trash, just like Fourth Sister?"
"Lian'er!"
Mo Bilian lowered her head.
Madam Qian quickly comforted her, "Lian'er, don't be angry. Your father really cares about you, he just cares in a different way."
Mo Jinghao lay on the bed, unable to move, seeing that Mo Bilian was angry.
He softened, saying, "Alright, Dad cares about you, but this is the wrong way to do it. Don't be angry with Dad."
Mo Bilian saw him lying on the bed, only able to look at her from the side, his usual stern and kind fatherly demeanor gone.
She felt somewhat sad, so she nodded.
"Who hit you?" Mo Jinghao frowned and asked, "Could it be His Highness the Crown Prince again?"
But it doesn't look like it, after all, His Highness the Crown Prince likes to leave shoehorn marks on people's faces.
Mo Bilian lowered her head: "It's Mo Yunzhao..."
She briefly recounted how Mo Yunzhao had been chosen as the Flower Fairy that day.
Mo Jinghao: "I knew His Highness the Crown Prince treated you differently, that's why he hit you that day."
Mo Bilian looked at Mo Jinghao in disbelief, "I saw it. His Highness's kindness towards Mo Yunzhao didn't seem like an act or an attempt to curry favor."
She looked at it with genuine emotion.
His Highness truly didn't give her even a superfluous glance.
She was unaware of what her father meant by the prince's special regard for her.
Mo Jinghao looked at her and said seriously, "Lian'er, when you pretend, you have to pretend so that even you believe it. If others can easily see through it, then that person's methods are not good, understand?"
Mo Bilian silently pondered Mo Jinghao's words for a moment, then nodded.
Mo Jinghao was still worried and continued to lecture him in a stern voice.
“Remember, you’re not wearing a mask; this is your true self. Only you yourself believe that you are genuinely doing what’s best for someone, and then everyone around you will believe that you are truly doing what’s best for that person.”
Mo Bilian's face showed a hint of confidence. "Father is right."
Mo Jinghao: "Remember, you are an outstanding person. Even if you are wrong, it is someone else's fault. If they hadn't treated us this way, we wouldn't have treated them this way either. They are reaping what they sowed. This is what they deserve."
Mo Bilian took a deep breath and said, "Mm."
Mo Jinghao: "Remember, no matter what we did, we have already shown mercy and been very lenient. They should be grateful."
Mo Bilian smiled and confidently replied, "Yes."
Qian, who was washing a handkerchief with her head down, couldn't help but roll her eyes.
When Mo Jinghao saw Mo Bilian regain her confident smile, even though her face was still swollen, she looked much better.
His daughter is the prettiest.
All the good men in the world should be allowed to choose her.
"You just said that His Highness agreed to your request to treat my illness?"
Mo Bilian nodded, "Yes, he also asked Mo Yunzhao at the time. She said that Father's condition was not something His Highness could refuse, but His Highness still agreed."
Mo Jinghao laughed with satisfaction, "That's it. No matter how well Your Highness pretends, when you're around someone you care about, you're bound to go against Mo Yunzhao's wishes."
