Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Dugu Xin agreed deeply: "Chu'er is right, but I also want to do the same as Yao'er said, take it as a warning, and try to drink less in the future." The few people chatted for a while, and then Li Chu and Li Ruo returned to the Zhennan Marquis Mansion.

Dugu Xin was about to go back to the study, but he didn't expect that there was a little follower following him. Dugu Jingyao was thinking about something. When Dugu Xin stopped, Dugu Jingyao bumped into Dugu Xin's back, then covered her forehead and complained, "Daddy, why did you stop so suddenly?"

Dugu Xin rubbed Dugu Jingyao's forehead and said, "I saw you following me, so I stopped and wanted to ask you why. You looked so lost in thought, what were you thinking about?"

Dugu Jingyao said, "It's nothing. Maybe I didn't sleep well last night and I was in a trance for a while." Dugu Xin said distressedly, "Why haven't you slept well yet?" Dugu Jingyao said, "It's nothing. I just had a dream, so I didn't sleep well and I'm a little tired." Dugu Xin touched Dugu Jingyao's forehead and said, "It's okay. You don't have a fever. Do you want to ask the court doctor to see you?"

Dugu Jingyao felt that Dugu Xin was making a big deal out of nothing: "Not really, not really. I just had a dream yesterday. I slept soundly otherwise!" Looking at Dugu Jingyao like this, he thought it was probably just a dream. Mainly because of the previous poisoning and falling into the water, as well as the recent assassination, Dugu Xin was scared. However, seeing Yao'er still lively in front of him, he guessed that nothing was wrong and he could only let it go.

Arriving at the study, Dugu Xin asked Dugu Jingyao, "Tell me, you followed me all the way to the study, what's going on?" Dugu Jingyao was still trying to figure out how to bring it up. Dugu Xin, observing her thoughtful expression, wondered if it had anything to do with Li Chu. (It had to be said that Dugu Xin was a man of great insight, and indeed, what Dugu Jingyao wanted to ask about was indeed related to Li Chu.) However, the father and daughter were never above hiding anything, so he asked, "Why are you so hesitant? Is this matter related to that brat, Li Chu?"

Seeing that his father had guessed it, Dugu Jingyao told the truth: "It is indeed related, but I just want to ask, I feel that you have only met him twice, why are you so hostile to him?"

Dugu Xin thought, well, it's definitely related to that brat Li Chu! His mood immediately soured, and he snorted coldly, "Hmph, I knew it. If you want to know why I'm so hostile to him, you should ask him himself! Who made him set his sights on my daughter? He was about to kidnap her. Do you think I can stand him?"

Dugu Xin's actions made Dugu Jingyao realize that Dad had already seen through her feelings for Li Chu. She had been quite restrained, so how could she still be discovered...? However, Dugu Jingyao still felt a warm feeling in her heart. After all, in her previous life, she had begged and pleaded to marry Li Chu, but in the end, Li Chu had no feelings for her. Even if he did, it would be too late.

So Dugu Jingyao said to Dugu Xin coquettishly, "So Daddy is jealous? But since you said so, I will tell you the truth. I do like Li Chu, but I know my limits and won't do anything excessive. Besides, whether he will marry or not is another matter. After all, he is a prince, and his marriage must be approved by the emperor and the crown prince."

Dugu Xin looked at his well-behaved daughter and really didn't want her to be wronged, so he said, "Daddy knows that my daughter, although not a princess, is also a daughter of heaven. How can she not be worthy of him?"

Dugu Jingyao's eyes were actually a little moist. She hugged Dugu Xin, who was sitting on the armchair, from behind and said, "Daddy, it's great to have you!" Dugu Xin patted Dugu Jingyao's hand and said, "You and Yue'er are my daughters. Even if you marry ordinary people, as long as you like them and as long as they are not being used by people with ulterior motives, I will agree." He sighed and said, "If you really marry ordinary people, I will always protect you. If you really marry that boy in the future, I think the emperor likes him so much. After a hundred years, when the prince ascends the throne, he will probably be the next prince. In this case, you will be trapped in the deep palace. Are you willing?"

Dugu Jingyao thought for a while and said, "We may need to spend more time together. If Li Chu is worthy, I will have no regrets. If Li Chu is not worthy, then I will find another good husband!" Dugu Jingyao said this, but in her heart she still wanted to marry him, even though she knew he would have many women in the future.

Dugu Xin felt relieved when he heard what Dugu Jingyao said. At least his Yao'er was not determined to marry Li Chu. Otherwise, he would have to spend a lot of time planning. He must make Yao'er become the Princess of Guangping and would never let his Yao'er become that boy's concubine!

Dugu Xin was still worried and said, "Yao'er, you are old enough. You should be coming of age next year. If you really want to marry that boy, you must tell your father. I will definitely find a way to make you the Princess of Guangping and bring you enough dowry so that you will not lose out to anyone else."

After Dugu Xin finished speaking, Dugu Jingyao couldn't hold it anymore and hugged Dugu Xin and cried. Seeing Dugu Jingyao crying, Dugu Xin felt very distressed. He caressed Dugu Jingyao's head and said, "Yao'er, it's okay. Daddy is here. Daddy will always support you!"

Dugu Jingyao burst into tears. She had cried like this in her previous life, but that was when her father was killed by An Qingxu and his men. In her previous life, she always regretted it. If she hadn't drugged Shen Zhenzhu that day, and it was she who was covered with the red veil, would her father and cousin not have died? Or maybe she would have died in that carefully planned wedding and never met Li Chu. It was unforgettable to her.

No matter what happened in her previous life, Dugu Jingyao now only felt that she was the happiest woman in the world. After all, the person she liked now also liked her, her father also doted on her, and her sister was proud of her. It was simply making up for the regrets of her previous life.

Dugu Jingyao gradually stopped crying, wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "Daddy, it's great to have you!" Dugu Xin just said, "Silly child, Daddy is always here!" After chatting for a while, Dugu Jingyao returned to her yard. Shi Jian and Si Jian saw Dugu Jingyao's red eyes and knew that she had cried, but since Dugu Jingyao didn't say anything, the two of them didn't ask and just waited quietly by the side.
