Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife Chapter 8 Glutton?

"I understand." Gao Lan Mei composed herself. She was not sure if her father was aware why she had an accident in Mount Hua.

"What happened to you, father? Are you sick because of me?"

Gao Qi doesn't know how to answer his daughter. He was sick because of the Ye Family, the maternal family of Concubine Li.

He was ambushed after getting the blood replenis.h.i.+ng pill from Prince Wei.

Though a minister, he was a cultivator first. His cultivation may not be as high as the shadow guards, but it is also not lacking.

The one who ambushed him wanted him dead. It is by pure luck that he is still alive as he was underestimated.

Due to his family's jade amulet of protection, he was able to escape from death.

Initially, he didn't think that the ambush was related to her daughter's accident. He just thought that an expert was too greedy for the pill that he even had the guts to steal it from him.

After further investigation, he found out that his daughter's accident is related to the second prince and his concubine.

He knows that his daughter loves the second prince. She doesn't have the cultivation talent, but she has a strong will.

Yes, it is wrong for Gao Lan Mei to keep on chasing the second prince, but is that enough reason to kill her?

Gao Qi sighed heavily, then placed his big hand on Gao Lan Mei's head, "You did nothing wrong." Yes, it was not wrong to love. She just loved the wrong person.

As Gao Qi is still not feeling well, the family went to the master's pavilion. The breakfast was also served there.

"The holy doctor pitied me. I am already a waste, imagine if I was ugly and crippled." Gao Lan Mei answered this way when asked how she was able to heal so quickly.

Her parents face became sad after hearing these and looked at each other. Their daughter's face is scarred.

In this place, if you are not a cultivator, you should either be good looking or have a good family background to not be bullied.

Right now, Gao Qi knows that his position as a minister is the only reason why people are giving his daughter some respect.

What will happen when he dies? Is it still possible for her daughter to get married to a good family?

Just thinking about this, Gao Qi's blood boiled from anger. How dare they do this to my daughter?!

Madam Gao noticed her husband's dark disposition. She reached for his hand to comfort.

Controlling his emotion, "It is a good thing the holy doctor pa.s.sed by. You should rest some more then, do the things that will make you happy." He just hoped that his daughter will not chase the second prince anymore.

Though he knows the reason for the ambush and his daughter's accident, there are still not enough concrete proof yet. They won't be able to fight back.

This is one of those times where he wants to see and speak with the patriarch. Sadly, that is not possible anytime soon.

Placing his worries at the back of his head, he watched his daughter eat.

He was not sure how long she has been eating, but it seems Gao Lan Mei is still not done. Most of the dishes were eaten by her and she wasn't showing any sign of stopping.

Gao Qi frowned, "Bring more food. Your young miss is still hungry." He commanded the servants.

The servants brought more food. Then after four more returns, Gao Lan Mei finally put down her chopsticks.

What happened to his daughter? Gao Qi was surprised. It seemed as if she turned into a glutton.
