My elder sister forced me to become a concubine; I was reborn and remarried into the emperor's

Wei Nanxun was stunned for a moment, then looked up in surprise. She thought she had been acting very seriously and attentively.

Even Old Madam Wei believed her words, thinking that Wei Mingzhao and her daughter were trying to prevent her from marrying the Crown Prince.

My father didn't write a letter.

Not only did he not believe her, he also helped her put on an act in front of the old lady.

"When did Father discover this?"

Wei Rongde's gaze softened immediately: "You are my daughter, how could I not understand your temperament?"

At first, he doubted the authenticity of his daughter's running away from home. After all, his child was always obedient and sensible and rarely went out. How could she suddenly run away from home?

When Wei Nanxun began to say that she admired the Crown Prince but was stopped by Wei Mingzhao and forced to leave the city, he didn't believe a single word of her story.

“You wouldn’t want to be someone’s concubine. Even if that person were the Crown Prince, or even the Emperor, you wouldn’t be willing to compete with another woman for a man.”

"Besides, that person is the fiancé of your beloved older sister. You would never allow yourself to fall in love with him, much less compete with her for his affections."

"Even if Mingzhao really helped you, it was your own choice to leave."

"You said so much to your grandmother just now, you must have some unavoidable difficulties, or it must be a delaying tactic. Tell your father, who made our Xun'er suffer?"

Wei Nanxun burst into tears immediately, realizing that those people in her past life had pressured her behind her father's back.

She was forced to agree to the marriage through a combination of persuasion and coercion. Even when her father later asked her if it was voluntary, she could only swallow her bitterness.

Before meeting her father, she was actually afraid that he would believe her grandmother's words and force her to marry Pei Yuyan.

Along the way, she thought of many ways to persuade her father, and even considered becoming a nun to show her determination not to marry.

Unexpectedly, her father understood her better and loved her more than she had imagined.

She is not alone; her father and brother will always be her support.

The grievances accumulated over two lifetimes finally erupted at this moment. Like a child who had never grown up, she could no longer hold back and buried her face in her father's arms, wailing loudly.

She doesn't need to pretend to be strong, nor does she need to care about how ugly she looks when she cries; she can be herself without restraint.

Upon seeing this, Wei Rongde was heartbroken.

He had never seen his daughter so heartbroken and aggrieved. In an instant, he felt that all his so-called efforts over the years were ridiculous. He couldn't be by his daughter's side and couldn't protect her.

What's the point of him making so much money?

"Good child, don't cry, don't cry. Daddy is here. If you have any grievances, just tell me. Daddy will always be there for you."

"I don't like Pei Yuyan, I don't like him at all, sob sob, he's a complete hypocrite."

Wei Nanxun, who had suppressed his feelings his whole life, finally spoke the truth from the bottom of his heart.

Her father understood her. If she hadn't been forced, how could she have competed with her cousin for a man, and how could she have ended up in that situation?

“I don’t like Wei Mingzhao either, and I don’t like anyone in the Wei family. They are all hypocrites and pretentious people. Father, let’s leave the Wei family and leave here, okay?”

Wei Nanxun raised her head and looked at her father pitifully with her red, tear-filled eyes.

She had been thinking about how to persuade him, since her father should have a sense of belonging to the Wei family, and such a decision was too cruel for him.

Through these tears, she revealed all her grievances and plans.

Although Wei Rongde didn't know what had happened to make his daughter so dissatisfied with the Wei family, she used such a strong word as "hypocritical".

But his first instinct was to appease his daughter, and without thinking, he blurted out, "Okay, whatever Xun'er says."

Wei Nanxun, who had prepared a whole bunch of things to say to persuade her father, suddenly stopped crying.

She blinked her red and swollen eyes, looking at her father in disbelief.

How long had it been since she had been able to look at him so closely? He was only thirty-six or thirty-seven years old, but he looked older and more aged than all the uncles and aunts in the mansion.

Not only were there fine lines around her eyes, but her hair was also streaked with silver; her father was aging rapidly.

He devoted almost everything to the Wei family and his children, but in the end, he was abandoned and driven away.

As a child, how could I not be saddened by this?

"Is what Father said true?"

"Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to Xun'er?"

"What if I don't want to get married?"

“Then don’t marry. Father has a lot of money, and we have many shops and estates. It’s enough to support you and your younger brother for the rest of your lives. If all else fails, we can find a husband for you. Under Father’s watchful eye, no one will dare to bully you again.”

Wei Nanxun felt like crying again. She felt that she was stupid in her past life, when she clearly had a chance to avoid falling into that cage.

But she was also incredibly fortunate and grateful that she had been given a second chance at life, and that none of those tragedies would ever happen again.

Wei Nanxun finally had a moment of relaxation and freedom, and she cried her heart out for a long time.

After she calmed down, Wei Rongde handed her a handkerchief and joked, "You're just like when you were little, you never stop crying."

"Alright, now can you tell Father what exactly happened?"

Wei Nanxun wiped away her tears, embarrassed, and was about to start when she heard a cough outside the door.

"Sister, may I come in?"

It turned out that when Wei Heyu heard that her father and sister had returned, she disregarded her own illness and insisted on getting out of bed.

As soon as he arrived, he heard crying coming from inside. As the younger brother, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to go in at this time. If he found his older sister crying, she would definitely be more embarrassed than anyone else.

Adhering to the principle of being a considerate and understanding younger brother, he waited outside.

Who would have thought that this wait would last for half an hour!

Unfortunately, he had chased away all the servants outside, and no one could support him. He was so unsteady on his feet that he had no choice but to interrupt his sister.

Wei Nanxun's face turned red with embarrassment, but fortunately, the father and son had so much to talk about that no one cared about her little emotions in this situation.

“Sister can’t explain it clearly, so let me talk to Father.”

Although Wei Heyu didn't know everything, he was aware that Wei Nanxun was imprisoned and that his grandmother and aunt planned to force her to marry the crown prince.

Wei Rongde initially managed to maintain a smile, but the more he listened, the more his brows furrowed. Eventually, he couldn't even keep his composure and slammed his fist on the table.

Then, like a trapped beast, it paced around the room.

"They are utterly inhuman and heartless. How are they any different from those gamblers who sell their children?"

"It's too much to bully others, it's really too much to bully others!"

"Xun'er, don't be afraid. As long as your father is here, they will never dare to force you to marry again."

Seeing her father like this, Wei Nanxun felt a pang of heartache. Her father's feelings at this moment were no less than her own when she found out that she had been used and deceived by Wei Mingzhao.

Those were his respected stepmother and sister-in-law, who took advantage of his absence to bully his children.

“My mother was actually trying to trick me into marrying you off just now. No way, I’m going to confront them.”

“I can’t stand this filthy place for even a moment longer. Pack your things, Father will take you away from here.”

Wei Rongde's emotions were difficult to control, as if they were about to explode at any moment.

Fortunately, Wei Nanxun and Wei Heyu calmed him down in time.

"Father, this matter needs to be considered carefully."

"If you go to reason with them now, wouldn't you be alerting them? So many of your businesses are related to the Wei family. If you just leave, wouldn't you be letting them benefit?"

Wei Rongde's face turned bright red with anger. He was panting heavily and said unwillingly, "So we'll just have to put up with this humiliation?"

"No, now that you're back, you don't have to put up with it anymore. We can separate the family."
