I sat down to the bed, pulled her to myself, and looked her straight into her eyes.

"Miaoyan, what did you say to him?"

Her eyes became more and more panicked. She wanted to avoid me. When she was panicked, she could only lower her head, but she seemed to know that she could not hide at all. She looked up carefully and said, "What, what?"

I said patiently: "Mom asked you, your third uncle came to you before and said you wanted to talk to you. What did you say to your third uncle?"

"No, nothing?"

She said this without any confidence, and the last few words were almost lost in her flashing eyes.

I looked at her with a deep face: "I don't remember having a daughter who lies like a lie!"

She was slightly shocked and looked up at me.

I was not harsh in voice, I just looked at her very seriously, but she also understood my temper very well. When I became serious, it was a sign of anger.

She hurriedly said, "Don't be angry!"

I said calmly: "I'm not angry yet."

“…”

This time, she probably really knew that some things could not be avoided. She bit her lower lip and struggled for a long time, and finally said softly: "I, I really didn't say anything to my third uncle. I just told her that she didn't stole her mother."

She said, looking up at me with her eyes wide open: "I'm afraid that my mother doesn't want me."

My brows frowned slightly: "Why don't you want me?"

“…”

"How could he steal me?"

“…”

I don’t know whether I’m going to be angry or sad at this moment, but looking at my daughter’s pitiful and even a little cautious, the feeling of distress immediately covered up other emotions. I reached out and touched her cheek and said softly: “Do you think my mother would want you?”

"But-" she looked at me and said, "If Mom is with Uncle Third, will she still stay with me?"

“…”

This time, I didn't answer her immediately.

It's true that I can't answer.

Now, I have not yet met Liu Qinghan, but I have made the decision to be together. He and Pei Yuanhao still have some things to do, so I can stay in this place, but I have thought that if one day, I get married with him, if one day, he and Pei Yuanhao will resolve the big thing, if one day, our relationship is no longer as peaceful as we are today, then how should we deal with the relationship with Miaoyan?

I have thought about too many possible futures, but I can't think of an answer.

Just as Yan Yi said, some things are unsolvable.

Thinking of this, I looked up at Miaoyan - I didn't regret the decision I made, and I also believed that her feelings for Liu Qinghan would eventually pass, and I also believed that Liu Qinghan could handle her relationship with her well. However, seeing my daughter's cautious appearance did make my pity and guilt worse.

I stroked her face gently, and I was also confused and entangled inside, and said softly: "Miaoyan, I--"

"Mom, why must it be the third uncle?"

She interrupted me and looked at me with tears in her eyes.

“…”

My throat choked for a moment and I couldn't answer.

She grabbed my hand and pinched it hard, saying, "Mom, can you not be the third uncle? I know him, I know he is good to my mother, and I also know he is a good person, but - but, can you not be the third uncle? Mom, I really don't want to be separated from my mother anymore. This time, the capital is in chaos, I am so scared! I really hope that my mother is by my side, but my mother is not here, you are by my third uncle!"

“…”

"Mom, don't leave me, okay? I want to be with you and my father."

“…”

"I know, I know that my father was very bad to my mother in the past and hurt her heart, so my mother didn't want to be with him, but - but the father said that he could be very nice to my mother. He would compensate for everything he owed her in the past, and he would be very nice to my mother."

“…”

"Mom, isn't it okay for us to be together with three?"

“…”

When she said the last sentence, tears were already filled with big eyes, and they would inevitably drip down without warning, crossing her face and falling on my hands.

The tears were hot, and the temperature made me tremble slightly.

After all... what I least hoped to happen happened.

What I don't want to face the most is to face it.

I held her face in both hands and took out a handkerchief to wipe it clean. However, I didn't expect that this action caused the next wave of flooding. Her tears fell like a dam. After a while, even my palms were wet. However, she did not cry loudly like when she was a child, but she just let out a kitten-like whimper or two.

It seems that spending these days in the palace has also made her grow a lot. As His Royal Highness, she has to restrain herself even if she crys.

I felt even more heartbroken. When I opened my mouth, my voice trembled slightly as if it was so painful: "Miaoyan, stop crying."

But when I said this, she could no longer control herself.

When I heard her sorrowful cry, I could only carry her into my arms. The tears quickly soaked my clothes, and the cold touch soaked into my chest, making me tremble slightly.

I seem to understand everything.

Miaoyan said these words to Liu Qinghan...

I finally knew why, in those days, Miaoyan kept pestering me, and even had no chance to go back; why, when I saw the three of us wandering in the garden and seeing Miaoyan give me and Pei Yuanhao a peach blossom, Liu Qinghan looked so weird; why did he want to keep me by his side, but when the two of us were too close, he would show so many concerns.

Especially that day, his words - don't delay too late with me, Miaoyan definitely doesn't want to see us like this.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! In fact, I should have thought about it long ago that he came for me and told me that he would change and would be with me sincerely. Why did he become introverted shortly after he arrived at the Marquis of Jin's Mansion?

It's because of wonderful words.

Feelings sometimes become a burden, especially between him and Miaoyan. No matter how open and honest he is, he will eventually feel indebted to such a child. And the impact of the words that Miaoyan has on him in his heart - I can almost imagine what kind of torment he has experienced these days.

And Miaoyan, how much pain is there in her heart?

I couldn't speak, so I could only hold her silently, and waited until she cried and the tears finally stopped. I gently let go of her and wiped her little face with a handkerchief, which was already in a mess by tears. Miaoyan was still sobbing, and her big eyes looked at me with wet eyes: "Mom, don't want me..."

I said softly, "Of course I won't want you."

"Really?"

"Mom is the only daughter. For you, I have experienced a few life and death. How can I bear to refuse you?"

When she heard me say this, a smile appeared on her face and said anxiously: "That mother--"

Before I could finish her words, I interrupted her gently but firmly: "But, whether or not I want you or not is different from whether to return to your father."

“…”

"My words, this cannot be confused."

She was stunned for a moment, as if she was still a little overwhelmed, and just looked at me in shock.

After a while, she murmured, "Don't you agree to me?"

“…”

I sighed, gently wiped her cheeks, and said softly: "You are too young now. There are many things that my mother can't tell you completely, let alone make you understand. When you grow up, maybe after you go through some things, you can understand - you can understand me and your father."

She still looked at me and asked in a low voice: "Don't you really agree to me?"

“…”

"Mom, are you still unable to forgive your father?"

“…!”

I frowned slightly and looked up at her. She seemed a little anxious and helpless. Her voice was wet and almost cried again: "But my father said that he would treat my mother well. We will be very happy together. Mom, don't you think? We had dinner together that day, and when we were in the garden together, did I laugh happily? Why can't it be possible now?"

“…”

"Is Uncle San really more important than me, more important than my father, and more important than our family of three?"

Seeing that she was about to cry again, I hurriedly hugged her: "Miaoyan, don't do this for now."

“…”

"Can you hear me say it?"

Her emotions became more and more excited, and her little face turned red. She began to struggle to get rid of my hands. She cried while struggling: "I don't listen! Mom, you just refuse to ask me anymore. Even if you have third uncle, you don't want me anymore! Then I don't want my mother anymore, I don't want you anymore!"

It’s not that she had lost her temper like this. When she was in Jixiang Village, there were even more intense situations than she is now. But at that time, she was just a child, but now she is a girl in her teens. Although I have experience in dealing with such situations, I don’t have the strength to do so, and I have to worry about not letting her make a big fuss and be heard by people outside.

Seeing her getting more and more fussy, I said in a deep voice: "Miaoyan, are you talking about it true?!"

“…”

She was also stunned for a moment.

After all, it’s not just that you can be irresponsible after saying that. Seeing me staring at her seriously, she was a little stupid for a moment.

The last time, after saying these words, she left cryingly. It was not until Gu Ping chased after her and told her for a long time before she persuaded her back.

But this time, there is no Gu Ping anymore.

And she looked at me with tears in her eyes for a long time, turned around, but instead of leaving, she climbed onto the bed, pulled the quilt up to cover her whole body, and stopped moving.
