You break off my engagement and I dig your ancestral graves

Chapter 293 Dad is Here Again

"Then where is the Queen Mother..." the guard reminded him.

After all, their purpose in coming to Yecheng, apart from helping the eldest daughter successfully take the position of Crown Princess, was to obey the Queen Mother's orders in everything and make the Wu family return to its former glory no matter what.

Wu Congyu shot a cold look at him, and the guard was so scared that he lowered his head and bowed, "I know I was wrong. I overstepped my bounds."

"Do your job well and don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask," Wu Congyu warned him. "If I find out that you told my father about the news of Yecheng without my knowledge, you should know the consequences."

"I will obey you in everything, sir." The guard was so scared that he immediately knelt on the ground to show his loyalty.

Everyone is well aware of the young master's methods. Now that the old marquis is not around, they dare not conflict with him.

"Go down." Wu Congyu waved his hand impatiently and continued to concentrate on painting.

The portrait was exceptionally vivid, but he still shook his head in dissatisfaction, "Not even one-third as good as her."

……

Inside the palace, the wind and snow had subsided for a few days, and as the New Year was approaching, Cui Yingying felt even more uneasy.

She has not yet found the eunuch hiding in the palace. Because of his special status, he cannot get close to the imperial study, and the information he got from the princess is not enough to rule out the possibility.

"Princess, are you still looking at this thing?" Zhu Yu, who came in with a midnight snack, couldn't help but move closer. She didn't recognize any of the words written on it.

In order to avoid being noticed by the two of them, she deliberately used traditional Chinese characters. When Zhuyu asked, she said perfunctorily, "Just looking around. It's getting late. Sister Zhuyu, you should also go to bed early!"

"Then you should go to bed early too." Zhu Yu wisely didn't ask any further questions, nodded and walked out.

Cui Yingying frowned again. According to what the little princess said, there were as many as twenty-eight eunuchs in the imperial study.

"System, aren't you giving me a difficult problem? Twenty-eight, isn't this the twenty-eight constellations?" Cui Yingying couldn't help but complain about the system.

The system became more and more respectful to her. It didn't get angry when it heard her complaints, but encouraged her instead, "If you try harder, you might find it soon. This task isn't that difficult..."

It is much easier than the next task. It is afraid that the host will die in the next task and then it will be killed by that person.

"Isn't this difficult?" Cui Yingying exploded.

This is beyond her IQ and beyond her scope!

Before the system could reply to her, a cold wind suddenly blew in from the slightly open window. Cui Yingying frowned and muttered, "Didn't Zhuyu close the window?"

Just as she stood up and was about to close the window, a black figure jumped in from outside. She was so frightened that she ran away. Before she could even shout for help, someone pressed her mute and immobilization points.

"Who are you?" Cui Yingying asked with a tingling scalp, keeping moving forward.

I didn’t encounter so many things when I was outside the palace. Why do things keep happening one after another after I enter the palace?

That bastard said that the palace was heavily guarded and couldn't be defended at all!

The man in black slowly approached her, walked in front of her, took off his black hat, revealing a familiar face, and said with a half-smile, "It's my father!"

Cui Yingying’s pupils widened and her whole body felt cold.

What the people who came to him that night said was true, they wanted to rebel.

So what is their plan?

She understood it in an instant. Was he planning to use her?

Thinking of this, Cui Yingying became even more frightened, but she forced herself to calm down, and asked with a forced smile, "Dad... why are you here? This place is very dangerous."

"It's hard for you to still worry about your father," Father Cui untied her mute point, as if he knew for sure that she would not dare to call for help.

He sat at the small desk, making tea, and asked her to sit down.

Cui Yingying lowered her head, feeling extremely uneasy, and her mind raced as to how to escape. What should she do if he took her away by force?

"I didn't tell you that your father was still alive because it was for your own good. Do you understand my good intentions?" Father Cui asked in a deep voice.

Cui Yingying found it ironic. His real daughter had died in a dry well a long time ago, and her body had been soaking in it for several days without anyone finding it. Yet now he was saying these high-sounding words to bring the father and daughter closer together.

It's just because she and Xiao Su are close.

"My daughter understands everything..." She didn't dare to conflict with the other party and could only choose to obey.

Father Cui nodded in satisfaction. "When you ran away, I was not angry. I just felt that I owed you something, so it was okay for you to be a little spoiled. Now that I am back, Yingying, you know that you and I are blood relatives. In this world, only Daddy is wholeheartedly good for you."

"If you really like Xiao Su, Daddy will help you, but Yingying needs to do something for Daddy."

Cui Yingying slowly raised her head, clenched her hands tightly together, and smiled in a relaxed manner, "Okay! I wonder what Daddy needs his daughter to do?"
