Chapter 240 Xia Rong's Resistance

Chapter 240 Xia Rong's Resistance

That's why I dote on Hei Niu, but this doting will never surpass the doting on you that your father does.

Haha! Father, do you think I don't know many things because I'm not at the Xia residence for most of the year?

You can tell how much you spoil Niu Niu by looking at the gold necklace around her neck.

My darling daughter, what do you mean by that?

Do you also want Daddy to give you a gold necklace exactly like the one Niu Niu is wearing?

Haha! Let me tell you, I don't care at all about the gold necklace that Niu Niu is wearing around her neck.

Sometimes I just think you're really weird!

Upon hearing Xia Rong's words, Emperor Xia glared at her fiercely.

If the woman standing in front of him hadn't been his beloved daughter...

He will definitely stand up and slap Xia Rong.

Xia Rong could tell that her father was very angry, but she would not stop talking because of that.

Xia Rong originally had no intention of coming to the Guanyin Temple to offer incense and pray to Buddha today.

Xia Rong didn't want to come because she was afraid of running into Mu Long and his group at the Guanyin Temple.

But her father, Emperor Xia, forced her to come!

Xia Rong was also a very stubborn woman. When she saw that her father insisted that she come to the Guanyin Temple, she made a big fuss in the Xia family mansion.

Because she knew that although her father appeared very gentle on the surface, he had a very bad temper and would react badly to anyone who dared to talk back to him.

He would become extremely irritable. This was because he had been feeling very bored for a while, and on his birthday, Mu Long had given him a human face mask.

So she thought of finding a suitable opportunity to disguise herself as a maid and sneak into the Xia mansion to see what her nominal father was really doing.

Just as I was worrying about what identity I should use to enter the Xia family mansion, Peach walked up to me with an unhappy expression.

After some inquiry, I learned that my incredibly absurd father actually wanted to hire someone to serve Hei Niu at the Xia residence.

When I heard this news, I was furious. I felt that my father was indeed as people said—a heartless and twisted man.

Because I had never heard of anyone paying someone to take care of a cat.

Moreover, when I was a child and needed someone to take care of me, my father had never been this attentive.

Thinking of this, Xia Rong picked up the wine on the table and drank it.

However, after only a few sips, the wine jar in his hand was snatched away by Peach, who was standing to the side.

Give it to me! Give it to me! You damned maid! Who gave you the audacity to snatch the wine jar from my hand?

Waaaaah! Miss, I know you've always been cold and indifferent to our master.

But only I know how much you care about our master.

Miss, you're so angry now because, as I told you, the master specially hired someone to take care of Hei Niu at the Xia residence, right?

Get out! Get out! Get out! Who do you think you are! How dare you tell me what to do? Was I too nice to you before?

Waaaaah! Miss, if you're unhappy, you can hit me or yell at me!

You can even smash an antique vase in your room to pieces.

But how can you be so careless with your body? You know perfectly well that drinking alcohol will make you itchy all over, and in severe cases, it can even cause difficulty breathing.

If our master saw this, he would definitely beat me to death!

Do you know how much effort I've put in to be able to stay by your side?

Haha! How could the famous Xia Emperor possibly be angered by an abandoned daughter like me?

You're telling me all this just to cheer me up, right?

Miss, why don't you understand our master's good intentions towards you? You are the most precious treasure in his life.

Even if I, a person without a mother's love or a father's affection, were to die, would no one grieve or shed a tear for me?

While Xia Rong wasn't paying attention, Taozi quickly snatched the wine jar from her hand.

Miss, please don't say that! Especially not in front of our master! Because the master particularly hates it when people speak ill of you in front of him.

I remember once a servant boy got drunk and, for some reason, spoke ill of you, Miss. Somehow, our master overheard these words!

As a result, he was whipped more than a dozen times by the master, and not only that, but all the servants in the Xia family were made to watch.

The master told us very seriously that if he ever found out again that someone was talking badly about Miss, he would kick them out of the Xia family mansion.

Hehe! Peach, I know you made up such a beautiful story just to make me happy, right?

If it's true, as you say, that my father dotes on me so much! Then why doesn't my father keep me by his side?

Why have I been living in this little cabin all this time? Not only that, he also sent so many people to watch over me!

Does he even realize that what he's doing is taking away all my freedom? Xia Rong said, burying her face in her hands and tears streaming down her face.

Miss, listen to me. The reason our master treats you this way is actually to protect you! Think about how many people outside want to frame our master.

Our master values ​​you most, Miss! He has gone to great lengths to ensure your safety! Our Xia family mansion may seem peaceful on the surface, but it is actually in complete chaos.

Meow! Meow! Meow! After meowing a few times at Xia Di, Hei Niu rubbed her little head against him. Xia Di gently patted Hei Niu.

This scene still made Xia Rong feel sad, because in her memory, Emperor Xia had never held her in his arms, let alone gently patted her or coaxed her to sleep.

But why? Why is Father so kind to a black cat, yet so indifferent to his own daughter?

And I ask you, has my dear mother really passed away? Did you truly love my mother very much? If you only loved my mother, why did you bring so many concubines into the Xia household?

Xia Rong, please be mindful! We're in a temple right now, it's not appropriate to discuss these things! Besides, I'm your father!

Old Man Xia, what do you mean by constantly reminding me that you are my father? Do you expect me to be extremely respectful to you?

But my dear daughter, I am your father! I don't ask for your utmost respect. I only ask that you stop constantly saying hurtful things to me.

You know what? Every time you criticize me, I feel really down and unhappy! I always give you the best. I really don't understand why you have such hostility towards me?

Haha! You've asked me this question a thousand times already! What's the point of asking it again?
