The word “again” made Quan Zexi’s heart pinch a little. He took over the phone and scanned the articles. At once, he cursed, “F*** that b********! That ***** is crying wolf and literally tried to r**** someone! She dares to try and take MY daughter?!”
“…”
Everyone was absolutely stunned by Quan Zexi’s outburst.
For a moment there, everyone had forgotten that he was the most ideal candidate to take over Emperor Yin’s reign.
Just then, the door swung open and Qiao Qing walked out with her hands in her pockets.
“Qingqing.”
“Qingqing.”
Everyone glanced her way with worry.
Mu Jinghang asked, “Qingqing, did you read today’s news?”
Qiao Qing lightly nodded, “I did.”
“…”
So why was she so calm?
Jun Yexuan and his friends were used to this. Quan Zexi, however, pursed his lips.
For her to remain so calm in the face of such a violent wave meant she had gone through even worse storms.
She was his daughter and she was only 18. She was barely an adult.
Even though he had lost his memories, Quan Zexi’s heart was overflowing with shame and guilt.
“Ah.” The other door opened.
He Wanqing stared at the group of people, “Why are you all standing here?”
“It’s nothing.” Qiao Qing placed her arm around her mom’s shoulders, “Let’s get downstairs and eat.”
Quan Zexi, “…”
Jun Yexuan, “…”

Qi Yusen + Qi Chengyu, “…”
After everyone went downstairs, a tiny senior rushed in in a fury.
Quan Yeqing took some time to inhale and exhale deeply, “Quan Zexi, your daughter is being accused! What are you doing standing around doing nothing?!”
Before Quan Zexi could answer, He Wanqing looked over at Qiao Qing, “Who is accusing you? What happened?”
“Daughter-in-law, you, you haven’t heard?” Quan Yeqing handed her the morning paper, “Look for yourself.”
He Wanqing blew up after reading, “She’s lying! How could my daughter be a murderer?”
“Exactly.” Quan Yeqing said to Quan Zexi, “Aren’t you going to deal with this? What kind of father are you? Huh?!”
Quan Zexi said, “Dad, we just got down here. You can curse at me after you learn the situation.”
Quan Yeqing only paused for a second before he shouted again, “Why aren’t you going out there?!”
Qiao Qing, “Wait a minute.”
Everyone stopped to look at Qiao Qing.
Qiao Qing’s gaze was fixated on Quan Zexi and Quan Yeqing, “You didn’t know me back then. How are you so certain I’m innocent? What if I was the murderer?”
Wan Kaiyi, who just stepped in, was confused, “Miss, you must be joking. The Country of Summer is a very bureaucratic country. It’s okay if you killed a commoner, but to kill a Duke from a wealthy family? Duke Xia is also the man backing up the country’s national security. Even if you are Duke Quan’s daughter, the Xia family would never let this go!”
“So what? You think we are scared of them?!” Quan Yeqing yelled back before he turned to Qiao Qing, “If you did kill Duke Xia, then your dad can be the scapegoat! No matter what, your dad can find a way to get out of the situation – ethical or not!”
Qiao Qing, “…”
Quan Zexi, “…”
Everyone else, “…”
Qiao Qing watched the frantic way Quan Yeqing behaved and compared it to how old man Qiao used to treat her.. At once, her heart felt warm.
