Are You Going to Help Him?

“Even if she doesn’t recognize me, in this life I only have one daughter, consider it as me atoning for my mistakes……” Jing Zhan forced a smile and said, “Giving birth to her but not raising her, letting her fend off for herself outside for fourteen years…It is such a heinous sin… So just let me use the rest of my life to keep her safe and sound.”

Jing Yue bit her lips, not letting herself make even the slightest sound as Jing Zhan’s words lingered in her ears. She felt pain storming wave after wave in her originally calm heart, when she had been thinking she could remain placid and unmoved.

However, when she heard this kind of words, she couldn’t help but have her eyes reddened.

Seeing Jing Yue’s head hanging down, Xing Yi slightly pursed his lips and called out, “Huang Fei……”

“Let’s go.” Jing Yue slowly turned around, drooping her head so that people couldn’t clearly see the expression she had on her face. Xing Yi was stunned as he watched Jing Yue turn around and leave, not knowing how she felt after she finished listening.

She walked back into her courtyard and raised back her head, lying straight away on the bed. A pair of pitch-black eyes were opened and staring at the completely still bed curtain, while various kinds of thoughts rolled inside her mind. Jing Zhan’s words were echoing in her ears. At this moment, Jing Yue herself didn’t understand how she felt in the end.

When Xiao Chen stepped inside, what he saw was exactly this kind of Jing Yue. He waved his hand, having Yin Qiao, who stood worried at the side, withdraw, and stepped forward to sit beside Jing Yue. He hung his head down to stare at Jing Yue’s pitch-black eyes, before raising his hand to lightly caress her cheek.

Jing Yue closed her eyes for a moment but opened them again to stare at Xiao Chen, asking, “He’s gone?”

“En, he’s gone.” Xiao Chen nodded. He took out a medicine bottle from his bosom, saying, “He heard you were injured and sent medicine for your wound.”

Jing Yue sat up, staring at the medicine in Xiao Chen’s hand, hesitating for a while before she reached her hand out to take it. When she sensed the warmth on the medicine bottle, she suddenly felt like she was holding a pair of large hands, so warm that she was completely engulfed inside.

That kind of warmth was something she had never experienced before.

Again and again, she told herself not to yearn. Again and again, she told herself to resist. She would rather wish that her father had really abandoned her, that it was because he really didn’t want her instead of not having choice and actually loving her in his heart. Now, this kind of situation was trapping Jing Yue inside a contradiction.

“Xiao Chen, are you going to help him?” She asked while tightly clenching the porcelain bottle in her hand.

“I am.” Xiao Chen nodded and slowly said, “If the Prime Minister Residence can be of use for me and can cause Xiao JingRan to have one less help, why shouldn’t I?”

Jing Yue pursed her lips. She had never known about those matters of the Imperial family. However, she knew that Xiao Chen and Xiao JingRan were on the opposite sides.

“Even if I don’t help him, he can still seize back the house master position.” Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes, saying, “You cannot underestimate Jing Zhan’s ability. Moreover, there’s still Jing Lang who wields the power of three armies… It’s just that if I help him, he could seize the house master position with the fastest speed and without the slightest repercussion.”

“What does that mean?” Jing Yue said with a slight frown.

“Jing Zhan after all, has been still for fourteen years… On top of that, he had incurable illness in his legs… There would certainly be some elders in the family that would not accept him. The second master, would also certainly use these as pretext to beat him. If Jing Zhan wants to steady his position, how can he achieve it under only three or five years? If Benw.a.n.g steps in and supports him, who would dare to say even half a sentence?” Xiao Chen showed a very lofty, very disdainful smile.

Indeed, arrogant enough!

Jing Yue, having long known about his temper, stared at Xiao Chen without uttering any word. She then frowned and said, “I heard that Jing Zhan’s legs were good back then, how did he suddenly become crippled?”
