After a long while, Tuoba Zheng finally spoke slowly.
"Why is your daughter in my house? Isn't the one next to you your daughter?"
Jiang's father was completely at a loss for words after hearing Tuoba Zheng's words. He hesitated for a moment before speaking.
“Your Majesty Tuoba, I am referring to another daughter, not this one. I am referring to another daughter who is to be married off. I have heard that she is currently at Your Majesty’s residence. May I take her home?”
After all, the marriage is scheduled for a few days, and it seems somewhat inappropriate for my daughter to be staying at Prince Tuoba's residence right now.
Tuoba Zheng then pretended to suddenly remember something and asked Jiang's father in front of him.
"What is the name of your other daughter? Why are you so sure that she is in my residence?"
At this point, Jiang's father had no choice but to try anything, so he gritted his teeth and spoke.
"I only found out because someone told me they saw my daughter with you, Prince Tuoba. By the way, my other daughter is named Jiang Jingyue."
Hearing him say that, Tuoba Zheng nodded, "That's right, according to what you said, your other daughter is indeed in my residence."
"But I heard Yueyue say that you forced her to marry someone. Is that true?"
Now that things had come to this point, Father Jiang felt that he could say anything, so he didn't hesitate.
"This is definitely a rumor. She went there for a political marriage, to marry you, Prince Tuoba! She probably couldn't accept it right away, which is why she ran away from home."
I have been looking for her for a long time, and I hope she can come home soon, otherwise I will be very sad.
"King Tuoba, would you be so kind as to allow me to see my daughter? I have something I wish to say to her."
At that moment, Tuoba seemed to be thinking of something, and he suddenly nodded in agreement.
"Alright, then you can go back with me! She's at my residence now, but you must promise that if you see her and she doesn't agree to go back with you, you absolutely cannot force her."
Since King Tuoba had said so, Jiang's father and the others certainly wouldn't dare to refuse, so they immediately nodded.
"Your Highness, don't worry about that! As long as Yueyue doesn't agree to come home with us later, we definitely won't force her. She is fortunate to be able to stay in Your Highness's mansion; it is her honor."
Tuoba Zheng actually thought that the time for the marriage alliance was approaching, and Jiang Jingyue should go back to prepare, so he agreed to let Jiang's father and the others return to the mansion with him.
When they arrived at the residence, Jiang Jingyue was already waiting at the door to greet Tuoba Zheng.
"Host, your parents have come along too. Be careful, they've definitely come to call you back. But it's time for you to go back now, otherwise the rest of the story can't proceed."
Hearing that Jiang's mother and the others had arrived, Jiang Jingyue was somewhat surprised. It seemed that this Tuoba King already knew that she was his bride for a political marriage.
Jiang Jingyue waited for a while before she saw Tuoba Zheng's carriage, and she immediately went to greet it.
However, the person who stepped out of the carriage at this moment was not Tuoba Zheng.
Jiang Jingyue glanced at it and realized that the carriage in front of her was not Tuoba Zheng's at all.
Just then, a carriage slowly approached from not far away. This carriage belonged to Tuoba Zheng.
The moment the carriage stopped, Tuoba Zheng immediately stepped out and came to Jiang Jingyue's side.
"Yueyue, do you know these people? They say they are your parents. Take a look, and if they aren't, I'll make them leave right now."
At this moment, Jiang's father immediately walked up to Jiang Jingyue and spoke to her.
"Yueyue, how could you be so heartless? All I wanted was for you to go on a political marriage. If you didn't want to, you could have told me, and I would have found a way. But the worst thing you could have done was run away from home."
Do you know how worried I've been about you all this time? I couldn't eat or sleep. Now that I've finally found you, I can finally rest easy.
Even Jiang's father himself probably couldn't believe these words!
However, at this moment, Jiang Jingyue did not expose him and just let him talk.
"Yes! Yueyue, your dad has lost a lot of weight since you ran away from home, didn't you notice?"
Jiang Jingyue genuinely didn't notice. Looking at her father's greasy face, she couldn't see where he had lost weight.
"Sister, look how worried our parents are about you. Why don't you come back with us? If you like Tuoba Wang, we'll prepare things after we get back, and you can go back with him."
That way, you can stay together forever. However, no matter what, my sister has to come back with us to complete the proper ceremony.
When she heard them say that, Jiang Jingyue pretended to hesitate and looked at Tuoba Zheng.
When she saw Tuoba nodding at her, Jiang Jingyue nodded in response.
"Alright, I'll go back with you. I hope you'll keep your word."
When Jiang Jingyue was told that she was willing to go back with them, Jiang's father finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The main reason is that with Tuoba Wang here, they can't make a move. Otherwise, they definitely wouldn't be here slowly talking to Jiang Jingyue.
They must have had Jiang Jingyue taken away the moment they saw her.
"Yueyue, let's go back now! We are so grateful to Tuoba Wang for taking Yueyue in during this time. We are truly thankful."
Just as they were about to board the carriage, Jiang Jingyue hesitated for a moment, then suddenly ran off the carriage, ran to Tuoba Zheng, and hugged him.
"Tuoba Zheng, you must remember to come and take me with you! Don't forget me, okay?"
In fact, when Tuoba saw Jiang Jingyue preparing to leave, he was also a little reluctant to part with her, and he couldn't help but hug her back.
Then he solemnly assured Jiang Jingyue.
"Yueyue, don't worry! It'll only be a few days. Be good over there and wait for me to come pick you up."
The two hugged for a long time before reluctantly letting go. When she returned to the carriage, Jiang Mingzhu couldn't help but complain.
"He's just such a ruthless and vicious person, I don't know what you saw in him."
"Don't wait until you get married, and you won't even have a chance to live." When Jiang Jingyue heard her say this, she gave her a cold glance and didn't say anything more.
