Xiao Yi sighed when he saw me like this.
"Qian Qian, you really are..."
"Not smart when you should be."
"But very clever when you shouldn't be."
Xiao Yi gently tapped my head and said, "Stop overthinking."
I covered my head, feeling a bit wronged.
"Xiao Yi, I just want to know if you like me."
"Why are you hiding it from me?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi fell silent for a moment before speaking. "Qian Qian, if I liked you, what would you do?"
I was at a loss for words, unsure how to respond to Xiao Yi's question.
Seeing me silent, Xiao Yi sighed again.
"Qian Qian, I know you're unwilling to accept this."
"But I'm already a useless person; I can't give you anything."
"If you like me, I won't let you feel indebted in any way."
Xiao Yi's voice was soft, but I could hear the helplessness in his words.
Having fought on the battlefield for many years, he had witnessed too many partings and deaths.
He feared that one day he would end up like those people, dying on the battlefield.
He was afraid he would let me down.
But Xiao Yi didn't realize that his current state only made my heart ache more.
Since entering the court, Xiao Yi had faced criticism from scholars due to family matters.
This was also why, after becoming Zhongshan Consort because of me, the court began to scrutinize his morals.
News of Xiao Yi's survival reached Yangzhou.
Father Qian learned that Xiao Yi was alive and that I had not been abandoned.
He immediately came to the capital and arrived at the Prince Zhongshan’s Mansion.
He wanted to become Xiao Yi's father-in-law again.
He hoped to rise to a higher position through Xiao Yi.
But it seemed he had forgotten that there was still a personal grudge between him and Xiao Yi.
"Daughter, look at you now; you are also the Zhongshan Consort."
"Xiao Yi dotes on you so much now."
"You should talk to Xiao Yi and ask him to arrange a position for me."
I looked at my father, whose face was filled with greed, and frowned.
"Father, since the Prince Zhongshan favors me, should I go and ask for an official position for you?"
"What kind of reasoning is that?"
"Moreover, while it is true that I am the Zhongshan Consort, I am also your daughter."
"You wanted to send me to the governor as a concubine. If it weren't for Xiao Yi, I don't know what my situation would be now."
"You may not value our father-daughter relationship, but I cannot disregard it."
Father Qian's expression changed upon hearing this.
"What do you mean by that?"
I shook my head and did not speak.
Father Qian wanted to say something more when Xiao Yi walked in.
"Your Highness, the Prince Zhongshan."
Seeing Xiao Yi, Father Qian hurriedly bowed.
Xiao Yi waved his hand and said, "Lord Qian, there's no need for formalities."
Upon hearing this, Father Qian straightened up and looked at Xiao Yi.
"Your Highness, I have come here to..."
Xiao Yi waved his hand, interrupting Father Qian's words.
"Lord Qian, I know what you want."
"But I need to tell you something."
"I am someone who repays every slight."
"How you treated Qian Qian, I will make sure to settle the score."
Xiao Yi finished speaking and clapped his hands.
A few guards entered and took Father Qian away.
Father Qian was beaten to the point of having a broken leg and a disfigured face, crying out as he was carried back.
This incident caught the attention of some officials in the court, who reported Xiao Yi for his actions.
They accused him of assaulting his father-in-law and disregarding the rules.
However, Xiao Yi did not care.
"I have always acted without regard for the consequences, as long as I have a clear conscience."
I sighed and looked at Xiao Yi.
"Xiao Yi, aren't you afraid of regretting this in the future?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi shook his head and said, "I will not regret it."
"He treated you poorly and made you suffer a lot."
"I will stand up for you."
Xiao Yi looked at me, his eyes filled with determination.
