After being married off by my younger sister, I took care of the sickly prince

Qian Xin first expressed his sincere gratitude to Jiang Yun. Then, he took a deep breath and began to answer Jiang Yun's questions in detail.

"I'm still investigating the woman's true identity. But what is certain is that she pretended to be my daughter and sneaked into the Qian family."

Upon hearing this, Qian Zhen and Zhao Chengsheng, who were standing by, immediately turned their gaze to Qian Xin, their eyes filled with astonishment.

Seeing this, Qian Xin mistakenly thought they were skeptical of his words, so he further explained, "Duoduo always affectionately calls me 'Old Man Xin' at home. Only in front of outsiders does she call me 'Daddy'. However, since she returned from the capital, she has never called me 'Old Man Xin' again. I tried many times, but the imposter didn't respond. At that moment, I was sure she was not my daughter."

"However, I knew nothing about the whereabouts of the real Duoduo. Therefore, I could only treat her as Duoduo on the surface, and secretly sent people to search for my biological daughter everywhere. Unfortunately, I fell ill before I could find Duoduo..."

Qian Xin originally thought that his sister and brother-in-law would be even more shocked when they heard the truth. However, when he looked at them again, he found that although their faces showed sadness, there was no surprise in their eyes.

His heart sank and he felt an ominous premonition.

"You already know?"

Although Qian Xin tried hard to make his voice sound calm, his voice trembled involuntarily when he asked this question.

Qian Zhen lowered her head and began to sob softly. Zhao Chengsheng said with a guilty look on his face, "I'm sorry, brother-in-law. It's us who failed to protect Duoduo and let her suffer from the bad guys!"

Qian Xin felt a buzzing in his ears, and his face instantly turned pale. He forced a smile and said, "Are you kidding me? My Duoduo is so smart, how could she... be murdered?"

Qian Zhen raised her tear-stained face and choked up, saying, "Brother, this is true. Chengsheng didn't lie to you. Duoduo has become a wandering soul now, and this time she came back with us. It's just that you are too weak, so Duoduo doesn't dare to get close to you."

Qian Xin sat on the bed. His body, already weak from long-term illness, became even more shaky after hearing Qian Zhen's words.

His hands clutched the bed sheet tightly, as if trying to steady his trembling body. His eyes, dimmed by illness, were now filled with disbelief and deep despair.

"No... This is impossible..." He murmured softly, his voice trembling slightly, as if he was fighting against the fear in his heart, "Duoduo, my Duoduo, how could she..."

Tears welled up in his eyes, and finally slid down his cheeks, dripping onto the bedding and disappearing in an instant.

His hands hung limply, and he seemed to have been drained of all his strength. He could only lean helplessly against the head of the bed.

Qian Zhen and Zhao Chengsheng rushed forward, wanting to offer him some comfort. But Qian Xin seemed to be lost in his own world, his reactions to the outside world dull and numb.

"Duoduo... my Duoduo..." He whispered his daughter's name again, his voice filled with endless sorrow and despair. He recalled every detail of his daughter's life, those happy laughter, those warm moments, and now they all became a sharp sword that pierced his heart.

Qian Zhen watched her brother suffer, feeling sad and helpless. She gently held Qian Xin's hand, trying to give him some warmth and strength: "Brother, you have to be strong. Duoduo definitely doesn't want to see you suffer like this."

Zhao Chengsheng also stood aside, his eyes red and his face full of sadness.

However, the comfort at this moment seemed to have little effect on Qian Xin. He was immersed in the grief of losing his daughter, unable to extricate himself. He could only let the tears flow silently, soaking the pillow and bedding, and soaking the hearts of everyone present.

Especially Qian Duoduo who was standing at the door.

How she wanted to rush in at this moment, but she couldn't.

Daddy's health has just started to improve. If she gets close to him now, she will definitely hurt him.

Qian Xin, immersed in sadness, seemed to suddenly think of something. He suddenly looked up at Qian Zhen and asked, "Zhen Zhen, you just said that Duoduo's soul came back with you. Can I see Duoduo?"

His eyes were full of pleading, which made Qian Zhen stunned for a moment.

It wasn't until Qian Zhen saw Qian Xin's pale lips that she woke up. She shook her head and said, "No, brother, you can't see Duoduo now. At least you have to wait until you recover from your illness."

After hearing this, Qian Xin couldn't help but bend over and spit out a mouthful of blood on the ground.

Qian Zhen and Zhao Chengsheng rushed forward in panic to support Qian Xin.

"Brother, don't scare me!"

"Master, what happened to my uncle?"

Jiang Yun stood aside and sighed, saying, "Master Qian is suffering from excessive grief. He must stop being sad, otherwise he will lose his life tonight."

When Qian Xin heard this, his eyelashes trembled a few times, and then he lay on the bed silently, staring at the curtain above the bed, without saying a word.

Qian Zhen and Zhao Chengsheng were a little anxious.

Jiang Yun said to the outside: "Duoduo, come in, I can help you protect your father and keep him from being harmed by the evil spirit."

Qian Duoduo was happy to hear this, but he did not rush in.

Jiang Yun turned to look at Qian Zhen and Zhao Chengsheng, "Please drop the rootless tree into Master Qian's eyes!"

Qian Xin had already taken action. He struggled to sit up, looked at Jiang Yun gratefully and said, "Thank you."

Then he gladly accepted Qian Zhen's liquid of unknown origin that she dropped into his eyes.

Qian Duoduo also floated into the room at this time.

Jiang Yun had her third eye opened by Taoist Xuanzhen a long time ago, so even without the five drops of water, she could still see Qian Duoduo.

When Qian Duoduo came in, Qian Xin looked at Qian Duoduo without blinking.

"Duoduo, you are finally home."

Qian Duoduo looked sad, but there was not a single tear in his dark eyes.

She has never shed tears since she became a ghost.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to shed, but that she can’t.

"Dad! I am unfilial. I cannot stay by your side to see you to the end of your life."

Qian Xin also cried bitterly and sadly, "No! It's all Daddy's fault. Daddy shouldn't have sent you back to Phoenix City alone. It's all Daddy's fault!!!"

Jiang Yun listened to the conversation between the two, and a few black lines slid across his forehead.

She waved to Qian Zhen and Zhao Chengsheng and said, "Let's go out first and leave this place to Mr. Qian and Miss Qian. Let them have a good chat."

Qian Zhen and Zhao Chengsheng nodded in unison and followed Jiang Yun out of the room.
