Chapter 849: Chapter 593: After Learning That His Daughter Became a Concubine, He Was Shocked to Find Out He Became a Grandfather ~_2

"Father, Qingqing and I plan to get married in Daxia by the end of the year. Do you have any objections?"

As soon as the matter of marriage was mentioned, Xun Qingqing’s heart leapt to her throat. Facing her handsome and formidable father-in-law, she didn’t dare to breathe too loudly and could only prick up her ears to listen.

Jun Moqing spoke slowly, "I have no objections, but as for you, if you’re getting married by year-end, there’s not much time left. You should return to Daxia sooner to begin preparations."

Jun Wuxian nodded and replied, "I understand, Father. I was planning to return to Daxia in a couple of days to prepare for the wedding."

Xun Qingqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Her future father-in-law was so easygoing, no wonder Jun Wuxian went ahead with their engagement without even informing him, yet he wasn’t angry.

Jun Moqing glanced at Xiao Jinyan, his gaze then settling on his daughter, observing her little mouth that hadn’t stopped moving since she started eating.

He withdrew his gaze and lifted his wine cup to his lips, taking a sip.

Xiao Jinyan sensed the look from his father-in-law and thought he might be asked questions, but there weren’t any.

He thought it better to reveal the fact that he and Xiao Jiu were already married sooner rather than later—the earlier, the better.

As a man, it was most appropriate for him to speak of this matter.

The dinner was also nearly done; Xiao Jinyan set down his chopsticks and gracefully wiped the corners of his mouth with a wet handkerchief. Once he finished, he stood up and, looking towards his father-in-law, bowed.

"National Master," he greeted.

When Xiao Jinyan suddenly stood up, everyone’s gaze turned towards him.

Jun Moqing raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Jinyan indifferently.

Feng Wuyou asked in confusion, "Jinyan, what are you doing?"

Xiao Jinyan cast his eyes down towards Xiao Jiu, "It’s better to speak clearly today."

Feng Wuyou immediately understood; Xiao Jinyan was seeking to come clean.

She nodded her head, agreeing it was better to speak sooner rather than later, lest her father accused Xiao Jinyan of deceiving her.

Seeing the actions of the two, Jun Moqing guessed that Xiao Jinyan had something important to say. He set his chopsticks down and, lifting his tea cup, took a sip of tea while waiting for Xiao Jinyan’s next words.

Xiao Jinyan then returned his gaze to Jun Moqing, "National Master, I should now address you as father."

As if expecting it, Jun Moqing’s voice turned rather cold, "Don’t be so quick to call me father. I have not yet agreed to let Xiao Jiu marry you."

Xiao Jinyan said, "But Xiao Jiu and I are already married. We were unaware of Xiao Jiu’s identity back then, so we did not seek your permission in a timely manner."

They say that familiarity breeds ease, and after having called him father twice, it came out quite naturally.

What was even more fortunate was that he and Xiao Jiu had fallen in love and married when they could not remember each other.

Jun Moqing’s tea-drinking paused, and as he looked towards Xiao Jiu, he set down his teacup, "Xiao Jiu, what is this all about?"

His own daughter married, and he had no clue?

How could he remain calm?

Even Jun Wuxian, who was sitting nearby, noticed that for the first time, his typically composed father was unsettled.

That was the difference between a daughter and a son; his own marriage was a matter of indifference to his father, but Xiao Jiu’s marriage changed his expression instantly—

Feng Wuyou tried to lighten the tense atmosphere with a smile, "Father, when I came here, I was already Xiao Jinyan’s concubine..."

At that moment, Jun Moqing could no longer care about destiny; how could his daughter, whom he doted on in the palm of his hand, become a concubine? How was that any different from a kept mistress in modern times?

He was instantly enraged.

"It’s one thing that I didn’t know about Xiao Jiu’s marriage, but how could she become a concubine?"

Jun Moqing always thought he had reached the state where he wouldn’t get angry over anything. After so many years, he could face everything calmly and composedly.

But this time, he couldn’t face it calmly or composedly.

"Xiao Jinyan, is this how you marry? You really have some nerve."

Just a moment ago, Xun Qingqing thought her future father-in-law was super easygoing, feeling lucky for her fortune. But in less than the time it took to drink a cup of tea, she witnessed her future father-in-law’s fiery temper—

Jun Wuxian’s hand tightened around Xun Qingqing’s under the table, comforting her not to be afraid, and his gaze conveyed that the anger was directed at Xiao Jinyan, not at them.

Xun Qingqing’s eyes widened; she didn’t quite understand the meaning behind Jun Wuxian’s gaze, but she felt secure holding his hand.

Seeing her father’s anger, Feng Wuyou quickly grabbed his hand and explained, "Father, be assured, I’ve already climbed from the position of concubine to Crown Princess. Although the journey was difficult, the outcome is good."

Instead of calming down, Jun Moqing’s anger worsened.
