The more she thought about it, the more confusing it seemed, as if there were many truths that she didn't understand.

Seeing her sad face, Wen Jingchi gently rubbed the top of her head.

"Don't worry about it. I will send someone to Lin Zixi's hometown to check and see what the relationship between her and your father is. This may help solve all the mysteries!"

"It's the only way..."

Chu Weiyue sighed deeply, and selected some trustworthy men from Wen Jingchi and asked them to go there overnight.

The next afternoon, his men sent a pigeon to deliver a letter, but they were stopped by an escort agency and forcibly driven away.

Because this escort company has the support of the imperial court, local officials dare not offend it!

After reading the letter, Wen Jingchi let out a sneer of extreme contempt.

"How dare you, even I dare to stop you! I want to see who is behind this escort agency!"

His lofty authority was greatly challenged, and his face became extremely gloomy.

Chu Weiyue's brows suddenly furrowed. The name of this escort agency looked strangely familiar, especially their logo. It seemed like he had seen it somewhere before...

"I remember now, this escort agency belongs to our family! Could it be my father?"

Chu Weiyue was so angry that she was even more confused as to why the Marquis tried to stop her.

Without thinking too much, she hurried to the Marquis' Mansion.

The Marquis was handling official business in the study. Chu Weiyue did not go to find him first. Instead, she went to greet her grandmother first, and then went to find him naturally, creating the illusion that she was just passing by.

The moment he saw Chu Weiyue coming in, the Marquis's expression changed obviously, but he quickly concealed it.

But Chu Weiyue was still keenly aware of his abnormality and looked at him with an unsatisfied look.

"Dad, do you still remember the Sifang Escort Agency? This should be our family's business, right?"

The Marquis rolled his eyes at Chu Weiyue in displeasure, "What exactly do you want to ask? Don't hide it!"

He went straight to the point, and Chu Weiyue did not throw in any stones, but directly mentioned Lin Zixi's name.

"Dad, I've always been curious about why Lin Zixi has been living in our house. You always seem to be full of love for her, and you later adopted her as your adopted daughter... You need to explain to me what your relationship is, otherwise I will get to the bottom of it!"

She deliberately gave the last sentence a lot of pressure.

The overbearing and menacing look was warning the Marquis that her identity was no longer the daughter of the Marquis, but a princess.

The Marquis was stunned for a moment, lowered his head in embarrassment, and thought for a moment before curling the corners of his mouth.

"What relationship can there be between her and me? We are innocent. She is just the daughter of an old friend. My old friend saved my life. He adopted her as his daughter just to send her to the palace. There is nothing else!"

He didn't look at Chu Weiyue the whole time, as if he was giving a frank explanation.

After serving in the imperial court for many years, the Marquis asked himself that his disguise skills were superb and no one could detect his inner nervousness.

But it was his calmness at this moment that made Chu Weiyue discover the clue.

According to my father's temperament, if I had questioned him in such an excessive way, he would have been furious a long time ago. How could he answer him in a gentle tone?

It only proves one thing, he is guilty!

"Is it really just like that?" Chu Weiyue raised her eyebrows.

"Of course it is. Why are you so suspicious? Are you suspecting that I have some shameful relationship with her?"

The Marquis stood up from his seat and waved to Chu Weiyue.

"Okay, stop being curious about these things. I have things to do and I won't chat with you anymore."

He took a step forward and was about to turn and leave.

This time Chu Weiyue can be sure that there must be something wrong with his father!

"If you have no shameful relationship with her, why are you deliberately trying to stop me from investigating Lin Zixi's identity? In fact, it doesn't matter whether you tell me or not, I will find it out myself soon."

"But some time cannot be wasted. We all have bright futures and plenty of time to waste, but what about Lin Zixi? She is having a hard time in the palace. Many people want her to give birth to a child, but in this situation, if she gives birth to a child and becomes the emperor, will she be able to control the overall situation?"

She didn't say much after that, believing that with the Marquis's many years of experience in officialdom, he would definitely understand her hint.

His dream of becoming second to none in the eyes of the public by relying on his child was completely shattered!

Facts have proved that Chu Weiyue overestimated her father's IQ!

"Now Wateng's people have extended an olive branch to her. If she agrees, the child can be born, but it will definitely be a puppet! If she refuses, can her child still survive? There are other forces as well. They don't want the child in Lin Zixi's belly to be born safely..."

This time, the Marquis understood everything completely!

There was a strong sense of worry in his eyes, and he grasped Chu Weiyue's arm.

"You've said so much to me, why don't you protect Lin Zixi and her child? As long as her child sits on the throne, the future of our Chu family will continue to be brilliant. This also concerns the happiness of you and Wen Jingchi. You must protect him!"

Chu Weiyue snorted and glared at him in dissatisfaction.

"Dad, why are you so confused? What does this have to do with me? Why should I protect the baby in her belly? That's Wen Chenxuan's child!"

"You little girl, Wen Chenxuan is the emperor, you should do this as his subjects."

The Marquis was completely anxious and kept trying to persuade her, but Chu Weiyue still refused mercilessly.

The Marquis was so angry that he could no longer endure it.

"If I say, she is my biological daughter, what about your biological sister?"

"What?"

Chu Weiyue's eyes were filled with shock. He never dreamed that there was something going on between him and Lin Zixi...

She couldn't help but replay the scene of her elder brother pursuing Lin Zixi in her mind.

No wonder her father’s expression changed drastically when he found out...it turned out that Lin Zixi was her illegitimate daughter!

Thinking of the original owner's dead mother, Chu Weiyue sneered coldly.

"Should I say you are a good father, or a cold-blooded father? You ignored me when I was a child, and you didn't like me when I grew up. If it weren't for the glory I brought you later, you wouldn't be able to look me in the eye now, right?"

Most of the time he just treats it coldly or even ignores it. This is the reality for him as a father!

Chu Weiyue felt a surge of discomfort in his heart, and he couldn't describe the pain in his heart.

I'm not feeling sad for myself, but for the original owner!

They were both children, but the Marquis was so mean to her alone...

The Marquis felt like he had been slapped in the face and was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say.

After a long time, he let out a long sigh.

"I admit that I owed you and your mother a lot in the past, but I had no choice but to marry your mother. I had no choice at the time."

He gazed into the distance, his eyes suddenly showing a bit of vicissitudes, but still couldn't conceal the slight tenderness revealed in them.

It also solved all the confusion in Chu Weiyue's heart!
