General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 438: Qu's Father's Love Story (2)

"During that time together, your mother and I slowly fell in love. I understand how difficult it is for your mother, and she also understands my unwillingness. We get along very happily, as if we have finally found the right other half." City Lord Qu said with a smile.

"But your mother's cousin actually had evil intentions. Before the wedding, he tricked your mother into going to a side courtyard, intending to make it a done deal. Fortunately, your mother learned a few tricks from me and escaped when he was not paying attention. That guy was sent to the government, castrated and exiled, but your mother's reputation was spread in a disgraceful way." City Lord Qu said angrily. "Later, the Wu family came and blamed your mother for this, saying that your mother was promiscuous and was willing to marry the second daughter to me."

"Dad, you won't agree, right?" Qu Shishi said worriedly.

"How could your father agree to this? He scolded the Wu family member on the spot and swore that he would not marry anyone other than your mother. The Wu family did not expect me to do this. Your grandfather praised your father for being responsible for the first time. After that, the wedding went on as scheduled. When your mother saw me in the bridal chamber, she was so moved that she cried." City Lord Qu said with a smile.

"Mom is so lucky to have met you, Dad." Qu Shishi breathed a sigh of relief and was happy for her mother.

"Your mother said the same thing. She is very nice to me." City Lord Qu smiled. She took care of him meticulously. They were in perfect harmony with each other physically and mentally. No matter what they did together, they were always comfortable and happy. That period of time was the happiest and happiest time in his life.

"If it weren't for giving birth to me, maybe mom would still be by dad's side?" Qu Shishi lowered her head sadly. If it wasn't for giving birth to her, mom wouldn't have bled so heavily...

"Shishi, you are being very sorry to your mother for saying this." City Lord Qu said seriously, "Although your mother and I are separated, we still love you. Because of love for you, your mother tried her best to give birth to you. The heavy bleeding is not your fault, that... that was done by the wet nurse."

"My wet nurse?" Qu Shishi asked in surprise.

"Yes..." City Lord Qu closed his eyes in pain, "She is jealous of your mother. She is your mother's concubine's sister, but she can only marry a concubine's son, while your mother has a bad reputation, but she can be my legitimate wife. She is unwilling to accept this."

"I never found out about this until two years after she fed you. She tried to seduce me again and again, and even drugged me. When her trick failed, she got angry and told me about it." City Lord Qu said with a gloomy face, "I then knew that your mother's heavy bleeding was not caused by giving birth to you, but because she gave your mother safflower to drink, which caused your mother's hemorrhage."

"So Dad locked her up in the side yard and wouldn't let me see her?" Qu Shishi couldn't believe that the wet nurse was the murderer who killed her mother.

"Did you go to see her?" asked City Lord Qu.

Qu Shishi told her about the times she occasionally visited her.

City Lord Qu touched Qu Shishi's head and said, "She is so provocative, don't you believe it?"

"I don't believe her. I don't think Daddy is who she says he is." Qu Shishi shook her head.

City Lord Qu looked at Qu Shishi with satisfaction, "Daddy's good daughter."

"Dad, since she was the murderer who killed mom, why didn't you kill her?" Qu Shishi asked puzzledly. With dad's temper, why did he keep her alive?

"My daughter understands me. Not killing her would be revenge on her. Killing her and letting her die so easily would be mercy to her. I want her to live." City Lord Qu sneered. How could he let her die? Who could die but her?

"Do you think dad is cruel?" City Lord Qu looked at Qu Shishi, who shook her head. "She deserves it."
