"Mother, I've been living my entire life for you! You said that a woman must listen to a man's words so I've been acting in accordance to Father's commands. I've also done what you wanted by being an obedient daughter. Even if Father tasked me to seduce Qi Su, I've done so. The reason was that if I didn't marry Qi Su, he would come for your life! For you, I wagered having my reputation swept away and falling out with Qi Su because of such an act! However, at the end when Father wants to gift me to a subordinate, you're still asking for me to be obedient?"
Jian An felt bitter and hateful. Her entire life was a tragedy.
"An'er…" Her mother's voice paused and a trace of remorse flashed through her eyes but disappeared in an instant. "Listen to your father. He won't harm you."
Jian An laughed grimly. She lightly shut her eyes and only looked over at Qi Su after a long time. "Alright, Qi Su. I'll leave with you!"
