"Zhao Mengzhi! Look at the daughter you raised, what a disgrace! What a disgrace!! In three days, it will be the Flower Festival, and you know who the host of the Flower Festival is. Now the Prime Minister's Residence is supposed to send two daughters to attend, but how can we participate like this?! Isn't this embarrassing Princess Gui Rong?! How will the Prime Minister's Residence stand in the court in the future?!" Su Chi angrily threw a Jade Ring onto the ground.
Su Xingyan cast a resentful glance at Su Mengyun, but seeing her father so furious, she dared not speak recklessly and could only step back to think of a solution.
Su Mengyun was already timid, and seeing Su Chi so angry made her tear up in fear.
Bai Shuangya looked at Zhao Mengzhi, who was standing there with a pale face and receiving scolding, and a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes. Then she spoke up, "Isn't there still another daughter in the backyard?"
Upon hearing this, Su Chi suddenly remembered that there seemed to be someone in the Prime Minister's Residence he had neglected for a long time. He furrowed his brows and began to ponder.
When Zhao Mengzhi heard that they wanted to let the Fox Girl's daughter from the backyard replace Su Xingyan to attend the Flower Festival, she immediately exclaimed, "Master, absolutely not!"
"Absolutely not? Why absolutely not? Does Concubine Two not want outsiders to know that the Prime Minister's Residence has a legitimate daughter living worse than a servant?" Although Bai Shuangya was usually quiet, she was well aware of major matters concerning the Prime Minister's Residence. Watching Zhao Mengzhi jump around like an ugly clown, she simply chose not to engage with her. However, since she had spoken up, she wanted to vent her frustrations for her own daughter! A wild child born from a courtesan thinks they can act superior over her daughter?
"Bai Shuangya, don't slander me!"
"I'm slandering you? People aren't blind! You talk about Jun Liuji's child turning out like this; aren't you afraid she'll come back to find you?! Zhao Mengzhi, what goes around comes around..."
"Enough—!" Su Chi shouted angrily, causing both women to fall silent.
"Go on now, all of you go..." Su Chi waved his hand, seemingly unwilling to deal with this matter any further.
Zhao Mengzhi looked at Bai Shuangya, who wore an indifferent expression, and thought of Su Peijiu in the backyard. She spoke again, "Master..."
"Go down!"
Seeing the mockery in Bai Shuangya's eyes after being scolded again, Zhao Mengzhi gritted his teeth and dragged his daughter out. Bai Shuangya looked at Su Mengyun and said lightly, "Let's go."
After finally driving everyone out, Su Chi stepped back a few paces and sat down in a chair.
It had been eleven years, and even after all this time, he still couldn't forget that face from his memories...
Even knowing that she was wronged and innocent back then, he never softened his heart to give her a break. In fact, over the years, he hadn't even softened his heart enough to look at his daughter once...
Walking outside Qiluo Garden, Su Chi gazed at the house still lit up and quietly stepped inside.
Entering Qiluo Garden again after eleven years, the scenes of the past floated before his eyes... Liu Ji, I treated you this way; can you blame me? I haven't looked at Pei Jiu for eleven years; can you blame me?
"Father..." Suddenly, a soft female voice pulled Su Chi out of his memories.
Focusing his gaze, he saw a young girl standing under the window. She was slender but had a beautiful face, resembling that person from over a decade ago, causing him pain in his heart once more.
"Father, what brings you to Qiluo Garden so late?" Su Peijiu naturally knew why Su Chi was here and noticed the momentary infatuation in his eyes. The old master of the Prime Minister's Residence had an unforgettable memory with the unparalleled beauty Jun Liuji back in the day.
Su Chi looked at the girl who had grown into adulthood from the child in his memories and felt a wave of emotion. However, all the words he wanted to say condensed into one: "Why are you still not resting at this late hour?"
Su Peijiu placed the ladle in her hand into the water bucket. "The vegetable seedlings in the yard were just sown, so they need watering. Once they grow into fresh greens, we can use them for cooking; these vegetables are really delicious..."
Su Chi felt tears welling up as he saw his legitimate daughter, the daughter of a Prime Minister, personally growing vegetables in the backyard. What sins had he committed all these years?
He could overlook their relationship as lovers, but what wrong had Pei Jiu done? This was his daughter, Su Chi's own flesh and blood.
"Pei Jiu... Father has neglected you all these years. Do you... do you resent me?" Su Chi dared not approach, fearing to see the look of disdain in his daughter's eyes.
Su Peijiu coldly smiled to herself. What? After eleven years, he suddenly wanted to come and express his guilt and responsibility as a father? Didn't he think it was too late? But she replied, "Pei Jiu has never resented Father... Pei Jiu understands that Father must have been too busy with matters outside, which is why it took so long for him to come see Pei Jiu..."
