The greater the background of an aristocratic family's background, the more importance they attached to the division of authority. Back then, it was precisely because Jing Tiancheng was the only legitimate son of Jing Family that he was able to rise above them and ultimately become the Patriarch of Jing Family. Thus, in Jing Tiancheng's mind, there was a serious difference between the Liu Shu and Jing Tiancheng.
He could disapprove of Jing Zhuozhuo as his direct daughter, but he could not allow those concubines to be disrespectful to Jing Zhuozhuo. What's more, Jing Chuchu had violated Jing Tiancheng's taboo by saying that the one in charge of the backyard was Concubine Hui with such outrageous words. As a man, he could give rights to any woman around him, but that was only if she did things according to his wishes.
Killing a wife and pampering a concubine was not a problem. However, if an aunt called herself the future head because she had some power in her hands, it meant that she harbored evil intentions and wanted to take over the position of the family head, Jing Tiancheng. Jing Tiancheng would never allow any of this to happen.
This was equivalent to defending the Jing Family with the absolute power in his hands. Because of this, Jing Tiancheng was even more displeased with Jing Chuchu, the concubine.
"When I first heard that you specially came today to take care of your sister, your father thought that you were truly kind. [I didn't know you were here to make trouble. Chuchu, your father is too lax with you.] "Since that's the case, from today on, father will find you a mama so that you can learn the rules."
Hearing the viciousness in Jing Tiancheng's words, Jing Chuchu was so scared that her face turned pale. Her eyes turned red and hot tears flowed down her cheeks. She looked at Jing Tiancheng aggrievedly: "Dad, daughter didn't do it on purpose. "It's big sister! She actually told me to go and fry the medicine. I can't hold my temper in for a while …"
"Yesterday, you said that you want to take care of your sister before the servant girl arrives. Could it be that you're joking in front of the prince?"
It was fine if Jing Chuchu didn't mention it, but it made Jing Tiancheng even more annoyed. Thinking about how he lost so much face in front of the princes because of Jing Chuchu's repeated failures yesterday, Jing Tiancheng wished that he hadn't given birth to this daughter of his.
He really didn't know what sin he had committed in his previous life, to actually have managed to get his hands on such a foolish daughter.
Jing Chuchu naturally didn't dare to refute Jing Tiancheng's angry roar. She could only blame everything on Jing Zhuozhuo and give her a fierce warning look when Jing Tiancheng wasn't paying attention.
Jing Zhuozhuo pretended not to know as she smiled widely. She looked up at Jing Tiancheng and said, "Dad, it's so good that you came to visit your daughter. With your visit, your daughter's body will be better for the most part. "
This tone was extremely intimate, just like how Jing Tiancheng had loved Jing Zhuozhuo since he was young. No matter how one looked at his eyes, they were filled with surprise, desire, and adoration. Any man would feel proud upon seeing that. After all, being respected and respected by one's own daughter, a father would always have a sense of pride.
Under Jing Zhuozhuo's longing and adoration for her father's love, Jing Tiancheng looked at her with more of a fatherly kindness, and even his voice became gentler.
"Zhuozhuo really likes to act like a spoiled child more and more. Father asked the butler to bring some tonic. It will be maintained for a few days, and it will be fine very quickly. "
"Thank you, father." Thank you, father.
Jing Zhuozhuo's eyes had even turned red as she spoke. There were tears in her eyes, and she looked extremely flattered and happy. That expression was as though it was the first time he had felt fatherly love, which was why he was so touched to the point of crying. The bitter and sour look on his face made Jing Tiancheng's heart not feel good.
Jing Zhuozhuo was also his daughter, but now she was moved by his words, making Jing Tiancheng feel extremely guilty.
Thinking about how Jing Zhuozhuo said yesterday that she had to wash clothes and dig up wild vegetables at Aunt and Aunt's house, Jing Tiancheng's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. Even if he, Jing Tiancheng's daughter, wasn't spoiled, she was still a direct descendent of Jing Family. This debt would definitely be taken back from them.
Without revealing anything, Jing Zhuozhuo took in the changes in Jing Tiancheng's mood and knew that her first plan today had succeeded.
She played the role of a well-behaved and sensible daughter in front of Jing Tiancheng. With just a little adoration and a yearning for fatherly love, she made Jing Tiancheng's fatherly love flood. This was truly out of Jing Zhuozhuo's expectations.
Seeing Jing Tiancheng, who normally didn't like Jing Zhuozhuo at all, being so amiable to her today and even getting the butler to send her supplements, Jing Chuchu immediately became dissatisfied. She stood behind Jing Tiancheng and glared hatefully at Jing Zhuozhuo.
This damned bitch. It was unknown what she had eaten, but her mouth was actually covered with honey and she was acting so well. It had to be known, when she saw Jing Tiancheng yesterday, she had always lowered her head timidly and didn't dare to say a word, acting as reserved as a mouse that saw a cat.
As a father, no one would like to be as distant from themselves as Jing Zhuozhuo and be afraid of their daughter, so even when he sometimes knew that the concubine and Shu girl in the backyard were bullying Jing Zhuozhuo, he always pretended not to know. However, Jing Zhuozhuo merely got a little closer to Jing Tiancheng today, and it caused Jing Tiancheng's attitude towards her to change so drastically.
If the father-daughter relationship between Jing Tiancheng and Jing Zhuozhuo gets deeper and deeper, then wouldn't Jing Family have no part in the conversation between these concubines?
No, she must think of a way to completely disappoint Jing Tiancheng and Jing Zhuozhuo. Only in this way would she have a chance at becoming First Daughter of Jing Family.
"How can you be like this? That is my lady's thing. As a servant of the Jing Family, you actually secretly took Miss's things to sell.
"This is mine, it isn't yours from the young lady at all. Don't wrongly accuse a good person."
"Alright, this is clearly xiaojie's stuff, you actually dare to say it's yours." "Let's go, we'll go see the young miss and let her see this inside out thing."
Hearing the noise outside the yard, Jing Tiancheng frowned in displeasure and looked at Jing Zhuozhuo with a few questions.
Jing Zhuozhuo's heart was as clear as a mirror, but she still wore a shocked expression on her face. She said in a flustered manner, "Dad, take a seat first. Your daughter will go and see what's going on."
As she said that, Jing Zhuozhuo pulled back her blanket and was about to get off the bed, but when she got up, her body went limp and she almost fell onto the bed. Looking at her uncomfortable expression, Jing Tiancheng hurriedly gestured for her to lie down. He raised his head and glared at Jing Chuchu with slight displeasure: "Why aren't you going out to see what's going on."
"Yes, Father."
Jing Chuchu responded unwillingly, then stood up and walked to the door. She had just reached the door when Banana just happened to pull Mingyue into the house. The three of them bumped into each other in an instant. Jing Chuchu was caught off guard and staggered a few steps back before falling to the ground.
"Aiyo, why are you leaving in such a hurry, is this how Jing Family rules are supposed to teach you guys?"
"Ah, Second Miss, are you alright?" I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose. "
As soon as Banana saw it was Jing Chuchu, she immediately let go of Mingyue and ran over, crouching down to help Jing Chuchu up. Jing Chuchu originally wanted to extend her hand as well, but when she smelled an unpleasant odor, she retracted it in disgust. When she raised her head, she saw a large amount of dark water stains and the bitter taste of medicine on Banana's clothes.
Jing Chuchu originally wanted to throw a tantrum, but when she thought of Jing Tiancheng, who was sitting beside her, her expression immediately changed. With a forgiving look, she waved her hands and stood up. Looking up at the panicking banana, he said softly, "It's nothing. Be careful next time. "It's fine if you bump into me, but if you bump into big sister next time, that would not be good."
"Yes, this servant will remember Second Miss's teachings."
Banana obediently blessed herself before raising its head to look at Jing Tiancheng. It hurriedly greeted him and called him master, then turned around and pulled Mingyue over to Jing Tiancheng.
"Master, just now, this servant was preparing to deliver the medicine for Miss when I bumped into the sneaky Mingyue at the corner. The servant saw that she was carrying a bulging bundle in her hand and hurried to take a look. "Who would've thought that she would push her servant away in panic. The medicine spilled all over her arms, and the bag fell to the ground, containing all of Miss's jewelry."
After saying that, the banana pulled the bundle from Mingyue's bosom and put it on the table to the side to open.
Suddenly, Zhu Chai, Bu Huang, and the earrings were placed in front of everyone. Although these pieces of jewelry weren't too expensive, they could at least be sold for a few dozen taels of silver. These few pieces added up to at least a hundred taels. A maid actually had so many master's items on her, and she was even sneaking around. It was obvious that she had stolen these items in order to exchange them for money.
He pointed at the bright moon and was about to get angry, but Jing Zhuozhuo suddenly struggled to get up from the bed, staggered to the side of the table and grabbed one of the legs, holding it tightly in her arms.
"Mingyue, how can you secretly take my things to sell? It's fine if you took something else, but this step is the first gift that I got from my father back when I went back to the Jing Family. I always took it as a treasure, but I didn't expect you to take it away as well. "
As Jing Zhuozhuo said this, her eyes turned red and she looked extremely disappointed. Ye Ci protected Bu Fang with both of her hands and said, "I've always treated it as a treasure."
Originally, Jing Tiancheng was dissatisfied with Jing Zhuozhuo's flustered rush over regardless of her status, but when he heard the accusation that made him want to cry, he was stunned. She couldn't help but to look at Bu Huang, who was being protected by her. It was made from ordinary tortoise shell, and any accessory that she took out from Jing Chuchu's body was more valuable than this. However, such ordinary tortoise shell steps made Jing Zhuozhuo act like a treasure, even ignoring her weak body, she stepped forward to snatch it away.
All of a sudden, Jing Tiancheng was filled with mixed feelings. Suddenly, he didn't dare to look at Jing's scorching eyes.
"You haven't recovered yet. Quickly go to your bed and lie down. Don't catch a cold."
After Jing Tiancheng said that, he personally helped Jing Chuchu walk towards the bed. His expression, which was filled with love and caution, made Jing Chuchu jealous.
She had always been trying to be good in front of her father. Although Jing Tiancheng loved her, he only spoke those words. Now that Jing Zhuozhuo was able to get Jing Tiancheng to care for her like that, it really made her jealous and made her even more suspicious and resentful towards Jing Zhuozhuo.
At this moment, seeing that the evidence was conclusive, Mingyue was so frightened that her face paled and she kneeled on the ground, kowtowing continuously and begging for forgiveness, "Master, Eldest Miss, this servant was wrong. This servant does not dare to do so anymore, and begs that Master or Miss to spare this servant's life. "
