"Elder, these are the keys to the two houses. I'm handing them over to you now. You can handle them however you like, but that room over there was my mother's. I hope when you have someone move in, you don't let them destroy it." Qing Teng handed the two courtyard keys to the elder, then after thinking for a moment, made a request.
"Alright, can you stay?" The elder still wanted Qing Teng to stay. Even though he couldn't acknowledge her, he still wanted this daughter to stay where he could see her.
Years of longing had tormented him, and the guilt towards Ruqing also weighed heavily on him, so he wanted to make it up to Qing Teng.
"Elder, you know that some things are better left unsaid. Don't wait until you've lost it to regret, then it will be too late." Qing Teng had gotten used to it over the years, so having a father or not didn't matter to her at all, and she didn't want to ruin his family. As her mother wished, she should just live her own life well.
