In front of her family, Qian Yixiu finally let down her guard and wept sorrowfully in Father Jiang's arms.
Qian Jiangman was deeply distressed, patting her back and choking with sobs, he said, "It's all Daddy's fault. Thinking of your mother's ill health and your younger siblings being so small, my mind was focused on them, yet I have never paid much attention to you. You were always filial and took care of your younger siblings, so Daddy thought Yixiu was capable and never considered that Yixiu could feel helpless or heartbroken. You are still so young, how could those conscienceless people frame you like this... Tomorrow, Daddy will seek an audience with the Empress Dowager and ask her to do justice for you."
After Yixiu had cried enough, Qian Manjiang sent her back to rest, saying the adults would discuss what to do. She felt extremely tired, particularly emotionally drained, so she nodded and left.
After Yixiu left, the three of them began to speculate who was behind all this.
