Tian Ya frowned.
The corners of Old Master Helian’s mouth moved slightly, but he did not speak in the end.
‘It wasn’t just Helian Yufei… But I should be blamed too.’
Just because Helian Ying had always been so good and obedient in front of him, he rarely paid attention to her, and he did not even know when she had become so wicked like her mother.
If he and Yufei had given her more attention since childhood and not allowed Yue Qin to take care of her, would all of these end differently?
No. There was one thing that Old Master Helian forgot; human nature would never change.
Helian Ying loved Feng Lianqing, so the same thing would still happen, and she would repeat the same mistake that her mother had made back then…
“Ying’er!”
Yue Qin perhaps had sensed something terrible and hurriedly ran in through the door. Her eyes reddened when she saw Helian Ying, who had fallen in a pool of blood. She cried and rushed toward Helian Ying’s corpse like a madwoman.
Helian Yufei, who arrived afterward, could not comfort her no matter how hard he tried.
“Ying’er!”
With a hissing, grief-stricken voice, she turned furiously to Old Master Helian, questioning him, “Father! Ying’er is your granddaughter. Yes, she doesn’t have any blood relation with you, but you’ve watched her grow up since she was a child. How can you do this to her?”
Helian Yufei could not accept this fact. He stumbled a few times, looking at the old man incredulously.
“Father… Why… Why…”
Tears flowed from his eyes, and he was unable to stand still.
After all, Helian Ying was his daughter. How could he not love her?
Now, as he watched Helian Ying in a pool of blood, his heart felt like it was being stung, making him gradually close his eyes…
“Why? Ask your beloved wife. She accused you and Tian Tian in front of Ying’er, saying that Yue’er is your daughter!”
Helian Yufei was shocked. He turned to look at Yue Qin and clenched his fists tightly, trembling violently as if there was a strong storm brewing within him.
“Moreover, Helian Ying had just tried to attack Yue’er. I was the one who killed Helian Ying to save Yue’er.”
Old Master Helian had regained his calmness and had taken everything into his own hands.
He could abandon Yue Qin and Helian Ying, but his feelings for Helian Yufei, his adopted son, were clearly deeper.
He did not want Helian Yufei to offend Feng Ruqing for Helian Ying, so he would take responsibility for Helian Ying’s death.
Helian Yufei trembled as he looked at Yue Qin with resentment in his eyes.
“Yue Qin!!!”
Yue Qin’s face was pale as she hugged Helian Ying in her arms tightly, her eyes bloodshot. “Helian Yufei, are you even a man? Your daughter has been killed, and you’re yelling at me here, not avenging her death?”
“Ying’er died because of you! Who made you talk nonsense in front of Ying’er? You’re the one who killed her!” Helian Yufei walked up to Yue Qin and grabbed her lapels, forcibly pulling her up from the ground.
Helian Ying’s body fell to the cold ground again; the scent of blood permeating the air.
“Don’t you realize what you’ve done?”
Yue Qin snapped angrily. “What did I say wrong? You once had an affair with Tian Tian… Ying’er, your daughter, has the right to know everything!”
