Biyu hesitated, seemingly not daring to speak, but glanced fearfully in the direction of Duan Qingxi's yard.
Duan Hong naturally understood what she meant, but he frowned, not daring or willing to believe his own guess.
Although he had only been close to Duan Qingxi for a short period of time, he subconsciously thought that she was a good child and would never do anything bad, including bullying Duan Shishi.
So, he pretended not to understand what Biyu meant and angrily asked, "What the hell is going on?!"
Biyu was startled and could only speak out: "It's... it's the eldest lady. The second lady had good intentions to go see her, but..."
"Biyu! Shut up! What nonsense are you talking about!"
After Duan Shishi scolded Biyu, she said to Duan Hong, "Dad, this has nothing to do with my sister. It was really my own carelessness. Dad, just think of it as me apologizing to my sister for the mistakes I made in the past. Let's not pursue this matter any further."
After a pause, she added, "As for Biyu's words, please don't believe them, Daddy!"
Duan Hong narrowed his eyes, but said nothing more.
He couldn't tell for a moment whether what they said was true or false, but he really felt sorry for Duan Shishi.
After all, this is the child he has loved since childhood, so...
Sighing, Duan Hong softly consoled her, "Alright, hurry back and find some medicine to apply. Girls value their faces the most, so don't leave any scars, okay?"
Duan Shishi choked up, but tried hard not to cry.
She nodded, said "Thank you, Dad", and was supported by Biyu and left.
When he left, he limped and looked as if he had been forced to kneel on the ground for a long time.
Duan Hong frowned, but didn't say anything. He just looked in the direction of Duan Qingxi's yard for a while, and finally chose to turn around and leave.
Naturally, Xuan Yi and Xuan Er told Duan Qingxi about this matter.
Duan Qingxi sat on the bed, not saying a word, and the expression on his face was... incomprehensible.
But I feel a little sad...
After thinking for a while, Xuan Yi comforted her, "Miss, don't be too sad. Perhaps General Duan just has something to do and needs to leave temporarily..."
Duan Qingxi raised her eyes, looked at him sarcastically and said, "Do you know how to comfort people? You have to leave for something urgent, why are you still coming to me?"
Xuanyi: ...Killed in action!
Xuan Er was more direct and said calmly, "Miss, if I were General Duan, I would do the same. After all, the Second Miss is the child of the woman he loves, and you... may not even be General Duan's child. Even if your own child makes a huge mistake, it is worthy of forgiveness. What does someone else's child... no matter how powerful it is, have to do with you?"
After a pause, seeing that Duan Qingxi didn't hit him with the teacup, he continued, "Besides, General Duan's departure wasn't necessarily because he didn't trust you, but because he cared about you, so he left halfway."
Qiao Yun was listening at the side, very puzzled, and asked, "Why is this happening?"
Xuan Er continued, "Think about it, if it was really the young lady who hurt the second young lady, General Duan would definitely be able to see it as soon as he arrived. Then, his impression of you would become even worse, and he might even be a little disappointed. But if he didn't come, who would know who was right and who was wrong?"
Qiao Yun was confused and half understood.
But Duan Qingxi understood.
She was silent for a long time before waving her hand and saying to them, "Okay, you guys go down. I need to rest now."
"yes!"
After they all left, Duan Qingxi lay on the bed and tried hard to keep his eyes open.
But the tears still fell from the corners of my eyes.
After all, Duan Hong looks exactly like her biological father in the 21st century, and she believes that he is her most beloved father.
Now, for the sake of Duan Shishi, he doesn't believe in himself and says he's not sad, but that's all a lie.
However, after taking a deep breath, Duan Qingxi wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
