After seeing their daughter whose tears welled up, they couldn't help but embrace her and comfort her.
They thought that their daughter is crying because of the news that the crown prince announced his engagement with the left-hand general young miss.
So they began to comfort her with words.
"Xiao Mei, that jerk of a crown prince doesn't deserve you. You will find your love sooner or later. Just forget about this jerk."
Jiu Mei did not say anything and this misunderstood the Jiu couple further.
"My daughter, it's okay if you love him. I will just beg his majesty for you to engage him and annul the engagement of that scheming daughter of that old fox. But you know that most of the imperial linage is greedy for power and wealth."
If one was at the scene when General Jiu was speaking, you could see a crease on his forehead and we could fully understand that he does not like Si Jiang the left-hand general and his daughter Si Lianer.
He does not like Si Jiang because he is a disgusting liar that got to this current position through backstabbing his friends and stealing their achievements, while the emperor clearly knows it but let it be because Si Jiang does the dirty work for the emperor.
The emperor and his sons were most heinous but they hide it by only showing that they are loving and benevolent son of the heavens to the commoners.
General Jiu knew it but kept silent on it. He does not have enough power to deal with the craps of Si Jiang and emperor.
To add on this, his daughter is technically a waste and he could not afford to put his family into grave danger, particularly his only daughter who can not even cultivate. He has to ensure about his daughter future if one day when they grow old.
"Mom, dad. Don't worry. I won't fall for that bullshit of a crown prince ever again. And look, they are match-made in heaven as both of them are lecherous who have a water-fused empty brains."
"Haha...Looks like Xiao Jiu finally woke up. It is good to hear that my dear."
"Yes mom. There will definitely be karma for that bitchy couple," Jiu Mei said.
"Just wait for me, you two chickens. I am going to beat you into pulp one day that you will not know about who did it,"
