Chapter 309: Turning Passivity into Activeness, Strike!
"How did you all get here? Did the Prince tell you?"
Seeing her father and brothers, Murong Jiu felt a bit helpless; she really didn’t want them to worry about her.
She cast a slightly reproachful glance at Jun Yuyan, who was standing behind them.
"The Prince was visibly distracted at the morning court today. How could we not notice? And don’t blame the Prince. It was only after we questioned him repeatedly that he told us the truth. You, you just don’t treat us like family, hiding such an important matter from us!"
General Fu said, his expression somewhat dimmed.
How could he say such things to Xiao Jiu? Hadn’t he only acknowledged her as his daughter halfway through?
It was understandable for Xiao Jiu not to feel close to them.
Although he knew Xiao Jiu didn’t want to worry them, he couldn’t help feeling guilty and regretful.
Murong Jiu sighed and said to them, "Father, brothers, don’t think too much. I just didn’t want you to worry like you are now, so I kept it from you. The strange poison from the Western Regions is hard to cure, and the Prince and I were afraid that you would be upset if you knew."
Fu Heng said in a gentle voice: "Xiao Jiu, we are family. If there’s a problem, let us solve it together. Even though we may not know medicine, as the saying goes, ’three cobblers with their wits combined, equal Zhuge Liang.’ Who knows? We might come up with a good solution."
