Lin Changxi frowned. He had personally participated in the affairs of Kuizhou Mansion. He knew very well the cause of Hua Yi's death, and had also lamented Hua Yi's past, but now he suddenly felt that Hua Yi deserved to die.
"He has always loved his mother deeply, but he deliberately acted as if he was alienated from her, just so that I could be born smoothly into the world."
Duanmuyan choked up slightly: "He never thought of betraying his mother. His mother drugged him that night with the Empress of Southern Xinjiang."
Lin Changxi's pupils shrank, what is this...?
"After the big mistake was made, he gave Empress Miao a token, but never interacted with her again, and refused to connect her to the Prince Consort's Mansion. He didn't know about Hua Ling's appearance in advance."
Duanmuyan's voice gradually became lower: "He alienates me and ignores me, just to confuse others. Only by telling those who want to harm me to relax their vigilance can I grow up safely."
"Over the years, he has endured humiliation and hardship for me. But I...have nothing but resentment towards him."
Duanmuyan burst into tears and was extremely sad. The rest of his words were contained in sobs and were unclear.
Lin Changxi frowned and sighed heavily. Looking at her appearance, she felt distressed for no reason.
His palm was quietly placed on the back of her heart, continuously inputting internal energy to prevent her from fainting in grief.
"How do you know about old things?"
"He left me a letter."
Duanmuyan said: "My mother's fate was difficult. He gave the Hua family a line of glory, but ended his official career. He knew very well that the Hua family was not on the stage, and his status as the eldest son-in-law prevented them from being associated with the powerful."
"He knew that no one in the Hua family was reliable, so he took them all to the front line and specially called Hua Ling back."
"He wrote the letter in advance and specified that Master should go for peace talks, just so that she could give the letter to me."
"With this action, he clearly wants to... die! And, in order to save me from worries, he wants to drag the Hua family to die with him!"
She suddenly raised her hazy tearful eyes: "Why didn't I find out?"
"Don't think about it."
Lin Changxi impulsively took her into his arms: "No one can control what a person wants. No matter what he did, he did it voluntarily. Why should you blame yourself?"
"It was my fault."
Duanmuyan choked up and spoke: "He has done so much for me, but I was not able to see him for the last time. Nor was I able to... call him father. When he jumped into the sea of fire, I didn't know how desperate he was."
"It is joyful for him to die for you."
Lin Changxi stroked her back gently: "If he dies well, the prince-in-law will have a smile on his face."
"Dead?"
Duanmuyan looked stern and breathed for a moment: "I don't want it!"
"I don't want you to die, don't leave me."
Duanmuyan tightened Lin Changxi's clothes and pressed her whole body against him: "Hold me."
Lin Changxi was forced to tighten her arms and felt soft and warm again.
Duanmuyan turned his hands and climbed up to his neck. He looked at him with misty eyes for a moment, and then suddenly put his cheek to his ear.
"Hold me, don't let go. Never separate." They rubbed their ears together.
Lin Changxi's whole body froze and she didn't dare to move!
He knew full well that Duan Muyan had treated him like a flower when he was drunk. But... this gesture may be a sign of deep affection between father and daughter, but to others, it is just teasing.
At this moment, he felt a fire rising from his belly, burning his mind into chaos, as if something was about to burst out of his body.
"Duanmuyan." He swallowed hard, his Adam's apple rolling up and down, and his voice was harsh.
"Don't do this. Stay away from me, I won't leave."
