The truth
Kong Tai stiffened when he heard Lin Jing's stern voice. He knew that this mer was really sharp but he didn't think that he would be this sharp, Lin Jing was able to catch something amiss with just one word from him!
"What do you mean? What did I do?" Kong Tai covered his mouth and then sobbed pitifully. "I just don't want my daughter to be disturbed anymore. Didn't you see what happened a few days ago? Her name was dragged through the mud and that incident even caused her to lose all her reputation. I just want to make sure that my daughter rests in peace."
After he was done speaking he turned to look at Gu Zedong and complained, "My lady, the entire town is cursing our daughter if we drag the matter of her murder in public then instead of sympathising with her they would drag her through the mud. They will say that it was what our daughter deserved, is it something that we should allow to happen?"
