Liu She’s lips quivered as he felt helpless at his daughter’s explanation. He also noticed a frightening thought: He had thought that his daughter had done sothing unspeakable to Feng Jin and not the other way round...
Maybe... It was due to the fact that his daughter’s clothes were cleaner than Feng Jin’s.
The other boy’s clothes looked like he had been stepped on.
“Your explanation only serves to worry more,” Liu She replied helplessly. She could have just replied directly that nothing had happened. “If nothing happened then that’s all right. You’re still young so you don’t need to rush anything. Of course, if sothing happened, you wouldn’t need to panic, either.”
Jiang Pengji: “...”
Zaixia Yeliangchen: “Aweso––my father-in-law! He’s so open-minded! Is he really a guy from the ancient tis?”
Shuibian Sanguo Nanshen: “The host’s dad had been trained by her ti-traveling mum. Compared to our era’s n, he’s far superior. But... I think he’s too open-minded. _(:з)∠)_”
Nao: “I find her father’s reaction normal. He brought her up as a boy and, since she’s more like a “son,” what’s there to worried about?”
Shitang Dafan Ayi: “I agree with the one above. If her dad has so prerequisites for her, that would an that he was not prepared to raise her as a boy. It would be unfair and disgusting to raise her as a boy but still treat her like a daughter.”
Nongfu Shanquan Youdianxuan: “That explanation makes sense and it feels like the host’s dad is really above us. If it were , I would not raise her as a boy. I would still treat her like a daughter and worry about her being too manly.”
In actual fact, Jiang Pengji’s viewers thought too highly of Liu She. He was not that open-minded, even though his behavior was. That was because he kept thinking of the “future empress” while he was dealing with his daughter.
If she were to beco empress, who had the ability to order her around?
If one were to examine an “emperor” the way they did common won, that would be akin to trying to move a mountain. If one had to put it simply, it would be like eating an apple and finding a worm in it.
“Feng Jin and I went to visit master Wei. We scaled his walls––that’s why we ca back dirty.” Jiang Pengji felt like laughing when she explained herself to Liu She to prevent him from thinking otherwise. Did she really look like an indecent person?
Just when Liu She was about to feel relieved, his eyebrow twitched and he was startled. “Scaled... Wei Gongcao’s walls?”
In the middle of the night? His daughter brought her companion to scale Wei Yuan’s walls?
“Yes. Didn’t I leave with two girls? We encountered a problem. A man disguising himself as a woman snuck into the brothel with ill intentions. I exposed him, but I did not expect to uncover so plot.”
“What plot?”
Liu She frowned. He knew Wei Yuan’s temperant well.
If there was nothing and his daughter had scaled another man’s walls, she would not make it out unscathed.
“A bunch of n were disguising themselves as won. They were from the Cang Prefecture and ng County. The man I caught at Yingchun Mansion had clues pointing to mister Wei’s residence. I was worried sothing might happen to him, so I hurried over.”
When Liu She heard that, his expression turned milder.
His daughter did all that for Wei Yuan? No matter how unhappy that stickler was, he would not bla her. Instead, he owed her a favor.
“And then? Did you catch anyone?”
So she went to the Wei’s. No wonder she was gone for so long. That place is far.
“I caught him. But there’s more trouble now,” Jiang Pengji skipped the part about Wei Yuan’s problem, as that was not for her to tell. “Based on my interrogation, that bunch’s mastermind is ng County’s ng family’s son.”
When Liu She heard “ng family,” his eyes flashed.
“ng family?”
“Yes. The man said that it was committed by a man nad ng Liang. When he was still in ng County, he was undisciplined and out of control. He brought a group of n to rape a ng County’s officer’s wife and daughter. He then caused the officer to beco an outlaw and torch the provincial office... ng Liang was snuck out of ng County by his family, and those friends of his followed for fear of death. They have co to Hejian.”
While she was explaining, she finished the snacks in her hand.
Liu She was muddled by her explanation. “Cang Prefecture, ng County... Sothing like that happened?”
“You weren’t aware?” Jiang Pengji asked, dumbfounded.
“Never heard of it.” Liu She shook his head.
He may not have heard of the incident, but he believed his daughter.
Xu County was located far from Cang Prefecture and, in those days, communication was severely backwards. Whatever news he got was not accurate. Ever since he had returned ho, he had only stayed in the residence and had not looked at any official docunts. It was natural that he had not heard of anything out of the ordinary.
“That’s all right. We’ll dispatch soone to find out more.”
Liu She closed his eyes and his right fingers tapped out a rhythm on his knee. His expression was stiff, as though he was still hiding sothing.
Jiang Pengji watched his expression and actions. She frowned. Sothing was not right.
Before she could further analyze the situation, Liu She suddenly spoke up. “Lanting, you need to learn a new phrase: ‘See through, but do not reveal.’”
Jiang Pengji awkwardly shifted her gaze away from him. She looked at her viewers’ votes.
Although the round’s full interaction mode went off topic, Jiang Pengji did visit the Yingchun Mansion and even listened to so songs. It still adhered to the quest’s content, even though so other event cropped up later. All in all, it was a good stream.
“System, you can start calculating,” Jiang Pengji told the System. “After that, let them vote again.”
The quiet System tried playing dead for awhile, but when it ca to patience, it was no match for Jiang Pengji.
It dilly-dallied for a bit before it started up the calculations and the voting. The stream screen turned black and, for a few seconds, her viewers thought they had been attacked by a virus. Before they could react, options appeared on the screen.
