Was my disguise that bad? How did he know? And what about others? Would they be able to see through my secret?
Many questions swirled in Jiang Ranli's mind.
Anjia Oron hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to speak again.
"People often say that no one knows a son better than his father. How could your father not know about your affairs?"
Jiang Ranli frowned, Anjia Oren's words made her even more confused.
No one knows a son better than his father. This saying applies to normal father-son relationships. My relationship with this father is almost like that of strangers. How could he know what I did?
"Father usually stays in the military camp and seldom goes back to the mansion. Since your mother left, the mansion has been managed by Liu. Even if Father cares too much about you, he cannot show it. Father can still protect you when he is at home, but if Father is not at home, who will protect you? So Father can only distance himself from you and let Liu and others take their eyes off you. Although you will still suffer some grievances, it will always be better."
Anjia Oron said a lot. At the end, his originally straight back became a little hunched, his stern voice was a little choked, and his determined eyes were filled with heartache.
Jiang Ranli sat there in shock. She had never thought that this was the reason why Anjia Oren became distant from her.
"Ama knows that I owe you too much. I don't expect you to forgive me. As long as you are doing well, Ama will be satisfied."
"Then when did you find out that I was disguised as ugly?"
Jiang Ranli couldn't respond to Anjia Oren's words, so he just asked him in a low voice.
In fact, she had already guessed how Anjia Oren found her. Even though he had distanced himself from her, he was still worried about her, so he asked someone to secretly keep an eye on her.
Jiang Ranli could guess the reason, but she didn't know how to face Anjia Oren's deep and helpless fatherly love, so she had to find a random topic in a panic.
Anjia Oren's answer was the same as what she thought. This time, she didn't say anything because she didn't know what to say.
"Ama can't stay here for long, you... take care of yourself."
After saying that, Anjia Oren stood up and walked towards the door. When he was about to step out of the room, he stopped again.
"When you have nothing to do, go check the jewelry box. Ama... is gone."
This time, Anjia Oren did not stop and strode out of the courtyard.
Jiang Ranli watched the tall figure leave with mixed feelings. She wanted to call out "Ama", but her heart was too confused.
"Miss, the master..."
Sixian and Sidai standing by were also feeling complicated. They never knew that the master cared so much about the young lady.
"Go and get my jewelry box."
Because she didn't like wearing jewelry and didn't have any jewelry to wear, the jewelry box she brought as a dowry had never been touched. If Anjia Orun hadn't come today, she might never have opened the jewelry box.
Sixian and Sidai quickly brought the jewelry box over. Jiang Ranli opened it and saw a letter. Under the letter were some half-old jewelry. Under that layer of jewelry, there was an inconspicuous secret compartment. When the secret compartment was opened, there was a stack of silver notes with a face value of one thousand taels.
Seeing those, Jiang Ranli took a breath of cold air. That thick stack must have weighed at least tens of thousands of taels.
She and the original owner had always thought that Ama was distant, indifferent and uncaring towards them, but the man loved them in different ways.
Sixian and Sidai also had complicated feelings. They knew that they had wronged the master in the past.
"You guys go chase my father and tell him that I will be fine."
Jiang Ranli once suspected that Anjia Oren came here so that she could please the Ninth Prince for his future, but now she knew that the man who was not good at speaking and expressing himself came here because he was worried about his daughter.
