Zhao Qian thought his words made perfect sense.
That child, Jiu, had always been independent and strong-willed. She relied on herself for everything. There was no need for a man in her world because she was already stronger than many of them.
Moreover, she was never far from the Empress due to her duty to protect her. The Empress was also an incredible beauty and as the days went by, it would not be a surprise if Jiu started to have strange thoughts about her.
Zhao Qian was immediately worried at the thought of this.
However…
He suddenly turned to look at Chu Qi and said with a sense of wonder, "Lil Qi, I realized you've become a bit more mature after growing a year older."
Chu Qi, "…"
He took a deep breath. "Allow me to remind you once again. Chu Jiu was brought up wrong by you. If you don't get more involved, she might walk the wrong path in life."
