Who Had Redeemed Who

It took a long time before Chu Qi spoke again. "Ji'er, you heard some of this from others and added your own assumptions to them. If you are doubting your father based on only this, don't you think you're being unfair to him? Even the magistrate's office would require evidence to persecute a criminal. It's not fair to decide your father is guilty without giving him a chance to explain things, isn't it?"

Ji'er lifted her head. "Do you think I should ask my father about this directly?"

Chu Qi contemplated this and then held her hand before saying, "Regardless of whether or not what those servants said was true, the seed of doubt has already been planted inside you. It's troubling you and making you doubt your father. However, no matter what the truth is, you should still decide what you wish to believe. I don't remember what happened on the day you were born, but I have witnessed your father's love for you throughout the years. He genuinely loves you very much."
