Saying that, Jiang Xunxue obviously didn't expect him to behave like this, and was a little stunned, but quickly came back to his senses, closed the door, and sat opposite Jiang Linghe.

"Xue'er, first of all, Dad admits that Dad is indeed deliberately strict with you and deliberately not close to you." Seeing Jiang Xunxue become aggrieved, Jiang Linghe also felt a lot in his heart. Although he ruthlessly handed over Jiang Xunxue to the care of his junior brother, after all, it was his own daughter, how could he really ignore it, not to mention that this was the only flesh and blood of him and his beloved wife, and it was also his only relative in this world. He was abandoned by his biological parents, and he was haunted by it until he saw it, and how could he bear to watch his daughter go through it again, but there were some things he had to do, helpless.

"Xue'er, Dad knows that you are actually very sensible and smart, so you secretly went down the mountain to peek at the Taigong Codex, and Dad is up to you. But this time our group is already under the watchful eye of others, and we must be cautious about what we say and do, no matter what the purpose. Originally, my father wanted to take this opportunity to take you to understand more about this world, but I didn't expect these people to be so anxious, you must not run around during this time. Dad also knows that you are not suddenly unreasonable this time, but the long-pent-up emotions are surging up together and you can't control it for a while. ”

Jiang Xunxue sniffed her nose and tilted her head to the side.

"Hey," Jiang Linghe sighed, and although he hesitated, he still said it, "Xue'er, Xiaojun, your mother and her are not sick because they gave birth to you. He knew that his alienation had made Jiang Xunxue very sensitive since she was a child, so that she had always been haunted by the death of her mother, and she always felt that she was a drag. He tried to open her heart knot, but he always didn't know where to start, so it dragged on for more than ten years, and the relationship between their father and daughter deteriorated again and again.

When Jiang Xunxue heard this, she immediately looked back at him, "What are you talking about, isn't my mother because of me?" ”

Jiang Linghe nodded, "Xiaojun has been in poor health......"

"You lied to me." Before Jiang Linghe finished speaking, Jiang Xunxue interrupted him, "Qinglong Mountain has always been strict in accepting disciples, and if my mother is not in good health, it is impossible to pass the test." ”

Jiang Linghe paused, sighed, and said again: "Yes, although your mother has a rich mother's family to rely on, if she can't pass the test, Qinglong Mountain will not accept her as a disciple." Looking at Jiang Xunxue's expectant eyes, Jiang Linghe was a little embarrassed, he really didn't want to tell the things of more than 20 years ago in such a situation, after all, Jiang Xunxue was still young, and these complicated and dark stories were really not yet the time to let her know.

After thinking about it, Jiang Linghe decided to cover up the others, "Your mother was in her prime, and there were many disciples in the mountains who pursued it, but it was a pity that she entrusted a piece of her sincerity to an unworthy person, but in the end she was let down. Under the grief and anger, your mother was in a hurry, and almost went mad, and since then he has fallen ill, and he can no longer practice martial arts. Later, she gradually figured out that person and married her father, and her illness got better and better, and finally one day we had you. During that time, I was very happy with your mother, and I have been preparing for your birth. Who knew that soon your grandfather suffered a disaster, and the Gu family also collapsed, and your mother was sad all day long because of your grandfather's accident, and the depression caused by the old disease, and she went soon after giving birth to you. In short, your mother's death was not caused by you, and my father knew that you had always blamed yourself for thinking that your birth killed your mother, but in fact, it was not. ”

The more Jiang Xunxue listened, the more unpleasant it became, maybe it was a mother-daughter connection, and she could feel one or two of the physical and psychological torments that Gu Xiaojun experienced back then.

"Then why did you throw me to Uncle Shi?" Jiang Xunxue asked.

"At that time, the death of your mother hit my father very hard, and my father really had no experience and didn't know how to take care of you, so he had to entrust you to your Uncle Zhongxuan and Uncle Shi. After that, Dad came out of the shadow of your mother's death, and thought about taking you over to take good care of you, but ......"

"But you didn't do it because you wanted to follow your grandfather's will, and you wanted to take the initiative to find the Lord to offer the treasure. You are worried that if you give away the treasure, those who do not get the treasure will be angry and do it to you, and you will never have peace again, and you will drag me down with me, so you are strict with me and alienated me in order not to let me rely on you, so that I will not be able to stand on my own and live a good life after you leave. ”

Listening to Jiang Xunxue's affirmative tone, Jiang Linghe was still a little surprised, "Who told you this?" ”

"I guessed some after I overheard the conversation between you and Uncle Shi, and I was even more sure of what you said just now."

"What? Every time I talk to your uncle about important things, I am in the secret room, how did you get in? ”

Because she had just been freed from the things that had plagued her for a long time, Jiang Xunxue relaxed for a while, and even directly told Jiang Linghe that she often took Miao Yeqing to the secret room to read martial arts cheats and steal the weapons collected in the secret room. When she reacted, Jiang Linghe was closing her eyes and pressing the green tendons that were about to burst with her fingers. Jiang Xunxue knew that she was at a loss, so she hurriedly stopped talking.

opened his eyes and looked at his daughter, who was rarely obedient in front of him, Jiang Linghe didn't plan to be held responsible, "Dad doesn't care about these things, but in a few days there will be a dust washing banquet in the palace, and soon it will be the queen mother's birthday banquet, you must be cautious when you enter the palace, you can't be reckless, especially in some places where you shouldn't go, stop obediently, do you hear?" ”

Looking at Jiang Linghe, who had recovered his sternness, Jiang Xunxue didn't say a word 'oh', not knowing what he was thinking.

"You must have seen the past of Qinglong Mountain from the Taigong Codex, and you also know what your father is thinking now. After your mother passed away, my father had no motivation to hold on, so my father has been waiting, waiting for the arrival of the destined person, waiting for the time to unload the burden and go away, but I can't take you selfishly, you need your own life. Dad didn't want to take you to this troubled water this time, but you have been growing up in the mountains and your heart is too simple, so Dad wants you to walk more during this time and see more and think about how you should go in the future. Tomorrow, the emperor of the Jin Kingdom will send a post about the dust washing banquet and birthday banquet to the marquis, and then you go together, it is always good for you to make more friends, and the sons of each family will also be present at that time. Daddy will help you keep an eye on it, and if you have something you like, just tell Daddy. ”

"I don't want it!" Jiang Xunxue called out.

"It's just to see, if it doesn't happen, how can Dad force it. It's just that if you can have a powerful husband to support you, your father can rest assured that he is gone. ”
