Shu Jiaying's first reaction was: "Impossible! How could I be General Zhuang's daughter? My father's last name is Shu."
At this point, Old Man Shu had no choice but to speak out. He continued what Mrs. Ke had said, "Really, Jiaying, what your Aunt Ke said is absolutely true. Your mother came to Fengyun Town for some reason and later met me. She was already pregnant at that time. When your mother and I first met, she asked me to marry her, but before that, I had already been in a relationship with your Aunt Ke. However, since your mother was rich, I agreed to her request. That's why your mother transferred the house in Guangming Village to your name when you were born. It was because she wanted to give you a place to shelter from the wind and rain. As for what happened later, I don't think you need to say more."
“…”
Is it really like this? Isn’t what Old Man Shu said clear enough?
It turned out that Old Man Shu's family had no blood relationship with him at all. No wonder they were so cruel to the original owner before.
According to Old Man Shu, she is the biological daughter of Qin Susu and Zhuang Tianming, and she should be the one to be sacrificed to the river god.
Shu Jiaying could never have imagined that Shu Zhenmeng sacrificed her life for the pursuit of a life of wealth and glory. It seemed so not worth it.
for a long time……
Shu Jiaying was speechless.
Old Man Shu thought Shu Jiaying was feeling unbalanced about this, so he counseled her, "Jiaying, you were already with Prince Chen when Zhen Meng was impersonating you. I think if I had asked you to recognize your father and then enter the palace to marry the Emperor, you wouldn't have wanted to. I think this outcome is the best, because now you and Prince Chen are finally together, and Zhen Meng is living the life she wanted. This is the best of both worlds. Now that we can get along well as father and daughter, you will cherish our current relationship, right?"
Shu Jiaying looked at Old Man Shu and Mrs. Ke again, and suddenly she felt sorry for the couple. In fact, if Old Man Shu had not met Qin Susu, he and Mrs. Ke might have lived a better life, and his three children might not all have died. It seems that fate really plays a trick on people!
She nodded to Old Man Shu.
"Dad, don't worry. I won't take this matter to heart. In fact, just like you said, this is the best of both worlds. Maybe this is God's best arrangement."
"Hehehe... It's rare that you're so open-minded, Jiaying. I'm relieved, this old man. It's not a good idea for us to stay in an inn all the time. I'll go out for a walk with your Aunt Ke later. If we find a suitable house, we'll take it down. We'll have our own home in the future. Jiaying, you must come home often!"
"Okay! Dad... If you and Aunt Ke find a house you like, don't rush to pay. I'll help you see if it's suitable, and I'll keep an eye on it for you."
"Well, thank you for your help."
Shu Jiaying smiled slightly.
"No trouble, Dad...Aunt Ke, I have to go back to the palace to deal with something, so I'll take my leave first. If you two have any problems, you can also come directly to the palace to find me. As long as I can, I will definitely help you deal with it."
Old Man Shu nodded gratefully. Who would have thought that he had been so bad to Shu Jiaying in the past, but today the person who was truly by his side was Shu Jiaying?
