Transmigrated As My Former Uncle’s Sweetheart

1661 The Truth From The Past
“I know I shouldn’t act like this, but I can’t control the feeling of aversion in my heart,” Ji’er mumbled. Then she suddenly pushed him away to sit up and said agitatedly, “Lil Qi, they said if it weren’t for you, I would have died the moment I was born. I know that you would never harm me because you saved my life and I particularly liked being close to you when I was young. Father tried to throw me to my death, which is why I find him revolting deep down and don’t like being close to me. I was barely a child then. I knew nothing and remember nothing, but things I liked or hated were imprinted deep inside me.”

“Don’t talk about it anymore, Ji’er. Let’s forget about it.” Chu Qi got up and hugged her tight in his arms while frowning. “That’s not how it works. You can’t doubt yourself just because you heard some words from others. Otherwise, you’ll easily fall for their traps.”

Ji’er shook her head. “Even though those two women said those things in order to sow discord between Father and me, I believe they were saying the truth. Everyone else in the Palace seems to avoid any topic that involves my younger days and rarely mentions what happened on the day I was born. I noticed something was wrong long ago. Now that I think about this, Father must have given the order for them not to talk about what happened back then.”

At this point, her little face looked troubled and her eyes lowered as she said in a low voice, “I realize now that my birth had not been welcomed. They were right. Even though I was born of nobility, my existence was not accepted. My father was even cruel enough to try and fling me to my death. He wanted me dead. If you hadn’t saved me in time, I would have died with my head cracked open.”

“Ji’er, stop talking about this. I forbid you from talking about this anymore, do you hear me?” Chu Qi pressed her head into his arms. He did not want her to talk about such terrible things any longer.

Ji’er leaned into his arms, her face covered in tears.

No one would be able to accept the truth of how they were almost killed by their father the day they were born.

She closed her eyes and clenched the front of Chu Qi’s shirt as she whispered, “Lil Qi, did you really forget about what happened during that time?”
Chu Qi’s chest tightened. He pushed up her face and his chest hurt tremendously at the sight of her little face being covered in tears.

He raised his sleeve and gently wiped away her tears. His tone softened. “Ji’er, do you think I’m pretending to lose my memory?”

Ji’er stared intently at him. “Did you really forget everything? Or did you refuse to think about Father’s cruelty, so you lied about your memory loss?” She remembered that Lil Qi was also considered her father’s son. Long Yang had brought up Lil Qi and he had looked up to him as a father.

Chu Qi shook his head with a frown. “It’s not like that. I truly don’t remember anything.” Zhao Qian and Chu Yi were the ones who told him everything about what happened before he lost his memory. He did not remember a thing by himself.

However, he could not deny the fact that he felt a closeness to His Majesty every time he met the Emperor.

Ji’er leaned into his arms. “But you were the one who kept coming to my rescue, Lil Qi. You were the one who gave me back my life.

Chu Qi’s heart ached for her. He patted her gently on the back.

He could not remember what happened when Ji’er was born and Zhao Qian and the others had never mentioned it to him.

However, Ji’er had always been in his memories.

Back then, he and Ji’er had lived below the cliff for quite a while. His Majesty was the one who had eventually found them and brought them back to the Palace.
