"Does my daughter need to compete with other women for favor?"

Xiao Jinyan explained, "Dad..."

Jun Moqing said coldly, "Don’t call me dad, I do not approve of this marriage arrangement. Without my consent, it cannot go forward."

Feng Wuyou immediately stood up, soothingly patting her father’s back, helping him to catch his breath.

"Dad, don’t be angry, don’t be angry. How could I possibly compete with a bunch of women for favor? While they’re busy fighting for favor, I’m busy eating and drinking, with no time to compete."

Hearing this, Jun Moqing’s expression paused, and he looked up at his daughter. How could he have forgotten his daughter’s temperament? As a modern person who had raised her, how could he expect her to compete for a man’s favor like other women?

From an early age, Jun Moqing had told his daughter that men were unimportant, happiness was what mattered most. A man with a host of women was not to be wanted, a man with sweet words was not to be wanted, a man who only talked but never acted was not to be wanted... and so on.

Being like a salted fish, unconcerned and worry-free, was the most relaxed and happy way to live.

The reason for letting his daughter be a salted fish was because with him around, she could always live carefree, and at the same time, he would teach her some skills for self-preservation.

Being a salted fish didn’t mean she was worthless.

He also specially chose someone to be her future husband, Ye Suhuan, who could meet all the requirements he prescribed, including never taking a concubine for life.

Who would have thought that Xiao Jinyan would steal her away?

Jun Moqing gave Xiao Jinyan a disdainful glance, "Then what do you like about him?"

Feng Wuyou looked at Xiao Jinyan, noticed that Xiao Jinyan was also looking at her, looked away and said with a smile, "Xiao Jinyan is very handsome, but I won’t be confused by beauty."

Jun Moqing showed a look of approval. With a father like him, she should be able to resist the temptation of beauty. That was his daughter.

Xiao Jinyan: "..." He began to doubt if Jinyan was actually smitten with his beauty.

"I just want to live carefreely as a salted fish, but..." Feng Wuyou glanced at Xiao Jinyan, "but he said he would only have me as his woman, and he would not touch other women, so I compromised."

In ancient times, a man so handsome and devoted was hard to find. Was there any reason not to be moved when encountering one?

Jun Moqing: "..."

Xiao Jinyan: "..."

Feng Wuyou continued, "Jinyan did it, and he even made me the Crown Princess. As for the future, I can’t say for sure, but cherishing the present is most important."

"Dad, do you think I’m right?"

Jun Moqing looked at his daughter, realizing that she had truly grown up, knew how to choose, and had her own bottom line.

Ever since his daughter was born, he had been worried she might live like the other women here, regarding men as superior, depending on a man to survive, competing with a bunch of women for one man.

So, when Jinyan’s mother disappeared, he could be said to have never left his daughter’s side, teaching her personally, no matter her age, without entrusting her to anyone else.

"Jinyan has grown up. She has a sense of proportion in her own heart. As long as you think there is no problem, then it’s right."

Feng Wuyou’s eyes curved with her smile, "Dad also said that some things are destined by fate, so everything before I came here was preordained; otherwise, I wouldn’t have met Xiao Jinyan."

Jun Moqing felt some regret, "If I had known you were going to be someone’s concubine at first, I would have taken you away immediately."

Jun Moqing was adept at divination, but fortune-telling was not something to be relied on without reservation; sometimes, it could backfire.

Thus, he only did divination for his daughter once, to resolve her deadly calamity. Afterward, her fate was one of extreme wealth and honor.

If he had known she would be a concubine, he would have taken his daughter away no matter what.

Feng Wuyou said with a laugh, "Dad, the beginning is not important; the outcome is what matters."

In front of his daughter, Jun Moqing couldn’t keep a cold face; indeed, his daughter had grown up, understood more, and spoke sensibly.

At this moment, Xiao Jinyan promised, "Dad, I will treat Jinyan well, ensure her lifelong safety, and never let her suffer any grievances."

Jun Wuxian knew why his father was angry; he had been very angry too when he was unsure about Jinyan’s situation.

However, after hearing from Xun Qingqing, he learned that Xiao Jinyan treated Jinyan very well, or else he would not have let Xiao Jinyan off the hook.

"Father, it’s too late for you to disagree now. Your grandchildren are already able to help themselves to soy sauce."

Jun Moqing was startled upon hearing this, almost thinking he had misheard. He asked again uncertainly, "What do you mean?"

Feng Wuyou was a bit embarrassed, her voice softer, "Dad, you already have grandchildren, a boy and a girl, over two years old now, and very clever."

She placed extra emphasis on the last sentence and added some pride.

Jun Moqing was shocked for quite a while; he had never imagined becoming a grandfather. In his eyes, his daughter was still a child. The thought of her being married was shocking enough, let alone having children.

He actually had grandchildren?

"Then why didn’t you tell me sooner?"
