Chapter 143 The Father and Daughter Persuade
"In this life, I have already let Qinghe down, how can I feel sorry for me and her only daughter, I'm sorry for Ah Man—"

When a powerless and guilt-filled voice sounded from inside the house, Li Sui, who was standing outside the curtain, was startled slightly, only feeling an inexplicable emotion surging from his heart, gradually bursting out from his chest, attracting She couldn't help lowering her eyes, but there was a slight heat.

No matter in the previous life or in this life, her father has always been the one who loved her, protected her, treated her like a child, always stood in front of her like a towering and clear mountain, and cared for her in two lifetimes.

I remember in the previous life, even if she became the empress or empress dowager, her father always assisted her in government affairs, reconciled the conflicts with the aristocratic family bit by bit for her, and used all his strength to persuade the opposing forces of the aristocratic family for her.

Even at the last moment of his life, when his mind was lost, she knelt in front of the couch and watched her gray-haired father squint his eyes uncomfortably, holding her hand tightly with his right hand, and screamed hard one after another Call out a few words.

"Qinghe, Ah Man—"

The whisper full of reluctance seemed to ring in her ears again at this moment, overlapping with the resolute voice in the room, like someone inadvertently tugging at Li Sui's heartstrings, making her unable to hold back tears anymore.

When Li Sui tried his best to restrain himself, lifted the soft curtain firmly when he raised his head, and faced the astonished gazes of the two people in the room, she stood there with a bright smile naturally and clearly, like spring flowers, like autumn moon, without the slightest trace of embarrassment. Deliberately pretend.

"Aye, Aunt—"

Under Li Sui's signal, Nian Nu and Yu Nu stayed outside the curtain to watch, while Li Sui alone walked forward calmly and dignifiedly, with his back straight and his expression so calm that Li Zhang couldn't see it on her face. Not at all willing to come.

"Aman, I am willing to marry King Yuling as my wife."

Hearing the girl's bright and clear voice resonating in his ears, Li Zhang looked at the daughter in front of him in disbelief, frowning but couldn't calm down for a long time.

For a wife——

Hearing Li Sui calmly say the word "wife", not "concubine", how could Li Zhang, who has always known this daughter, not understand the difference between the word.

But even so, he still couldn't believe it, and believed that the daughter in front of him really liked Zhao Yi.

Almost at the same time, Li Zhang lowered his face when facing Li Sui for the first time, seeing her who bowed her head and saluted respectfully, turned around unmoved, and looked at the person behind the desk with her hands behind her back. The picture of a lonely mountain with bamboo and rocks has deep and gloomy eyes, but the words are deliberately indifferent and uneasy: "The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker. Your marriage is a matter of me and you—"

When he said the last word, before he blurted out, Li Zhang suddenly thought of something, his eyes paused, and finally he lowered his eyelids in a lonely voice, and said in a low voice: "If I discuss with the eldest princess, how could you have a daughter's family?" Presumptuous."

After all, Li Zhang didn't look back, he just yelled behind Li Sui's back: "Come here, send the princess back!"

Seeing Li Zhang's determination, even Li Shi who was beside him was stunned. She knew the younger brother in front of her. Li Zhang is very clear about the situation, so how could he not know that the marriage between Ah Man and Zhao Yi is like a needle that stabilizes the current situation of her Li family and relieves her urgent worries.

Just outside the curtain, Yu Nu and Nian Nu didn't know whether to listen to Li Zhang's words and enter immediately, or to listen to Li Sui's words and stay where they were, but Li Sui calmly raised his head, looked at the lonely and independent figure in front of him, his voice He said calmly and considerately: "My aunt came back from the palace and she probably hasn't eaten yet. When I came here just now, I heard from Uncle Ping'an that dinner is already prepared in the side hall. Why don't you ask Yinniang to serve my aunt and eat some."

Hearing Li Sui's words, Li Shi paused slightly, but just in time to see the girl turned her head, stared at her silently, and gave her a reassuring look.

With a comprehension, Li already understood that just now she said a lot that she could not change Li Zhang's decision, and it would be futile to stay at this moment.

Today's Li Zhang, I am afraid that only Ah Man in front of him can persuade him.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Li nodded silently, then looked at Li Zhang who had never looked at them and said, "Yin Niang, let's go—"

Hearing the sound of footsteps gradually moving away behind him, until the room fell into strange silence again, Li Zhang finally turned around, looked at the silent girl in front of him, and said, "What you did just now, was it you?" What did your aunt tell you?"

Hearing his father's words and seeing his nervous expression, Li Sui laughed for a while, then looked at each other without avoiding it, and said seriously: "Never."

Sensing his father staring at him quietly, Li Sui also looked at him calmly and calmly. After a long time in silence, Li Zhang finally sighed but said with unspeakable helplessness and guilt: "Aman, Aye knows, You have been different from other children since you were a child, you are smart, calm, general, and consider the overall situation, but I also know that all of this is due to my mistakes back then—"

Speaking of this, Li Zhang's eyes were slightly hot, but when he closed his eyes, his throat felt stagnant, and he didn't know what to say.

"If it wasn't for me, if it wasn't for the Li family, your mother wouldn't have left, wouldn't have lived alone by the ancient Buddha with the green lantern, and wouldn't have let you—"

Seeing Li Zhang in front of him lowering his head silently, his expression buried in the shadows, looking lonely and desolate, Li Sui lowered his head slowly, but knelt down with his skirt twisted.

"Aye—"

Sensing Li Sui's actions, Li Zhangfang wanted to stretch out his hand, but he never thought that the girl in front of him shook her head firmly. That stubborn look was very much like him, and the clarity in her eyes was very much like her mother.

"Aman has just heard what you and your aunt said. As you said, compared with my sister, I am already lucky. Because of you and my aunt, I can exist and have parents that many people have never had. My love, and because of you, I can have an identity, a status, and a life of decency that no one else can match. From the moment I was born, you gave me too much—"

Speaking of this, a calm smile floated on Li Sui's lips, and he said seriously and frankly: "As Aye thought, my daughter has lived happily for 16 years because of your honor and favor, and she really wants to let her do what she does today. We formed an alliance with Zhao Yi in exchange for the safety and prosperity of my relatives and clansmen."

Noticing the change in Li Zhang's face, Li Sui continued to speak loudly: "But Ah Man never told you that Ah Man really admires Zhao Yi—"

Li Zhang's eyes were shocked when he heard the words. When he looked at the person in front of him in astonishment, Li Sui pulled out a silk handkerchief from his sleeve and explained his many contacts with Zhao Yi clearly. Before Li Zhang could react , Li Sui continued: "Princes and generals, I would rather be kind. Since Aye knows my temperament, he will also understand that with the heart of a daughter, whoever wants to marry should marry with such a heart for the world. In the mind of the daughter, compared to many dandies from aristocratic families, Zhao Yi is the real talent of the world. My daughter's concern has already been mentioned to A Niang and A Sister before, and both A Niang and A Sister are willing to accept it. Make my daughter perfect, Aye, today Ah Man also wants to ask you to make her perfect."

After all, Li Sui looked at the neatly folded Supa in his hand and said, "With his Supa as evidence, Aye still doesn't want to believe in his daughter, does he believe in her heart?"

Seeing that the girl in front of him was not ashamed, and even said this frankly, Li Zhang felt somewhat inexplicable emotions in his heart, whether it was joy or worry, anger or sadness.

At this moment, Li Sui in front of him bowed down and knelt down righteously. Li Zhang stared at the Supa tightly held in the girl's hand, in a daze for a long time.

Their Ah Man has finally grown up.

It wasn't until he heard the lanterns blowing outside the house that he finally said helplessly, "Come on, come on—"

Before the words fell, Li Sui felt a pair of warm and strong hands tightly supporting her up. When she looked up, she met her father's earnest gaze and the bitterness in it.

"Our daughter should marry a hero."

"But remember, no matter who he is, if he dares to bully you, you can go back to the Duke's mansion. Aye will use Li's name to settle a dispute with him and never give up."

When he saw the daughter in front of him finally let go of the begging between her eyebrows and smiled as before, Li Zhang looked at the silk handkerchief tightly held in Li Sui's hand, but felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

"That veil, don't show it to others in the future—"

Although the folk customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty are open, it is acquiesced for the unmarried young man and the young lady to give tokens privately, but when Li Zhang thought that Zhao Yi, who was cold and indifferent to anyone, would marry him like this Daughter, he couldn't face it with a smile.

Hearing this, Li Sui glanced at the Supa in his hand, then looked at Li Zhang's uneasy face, and immediately folded it with a smile and put it in his sleeve. Originally, this thing was just to testify to Aye and convince him. How could she He would really show everything to others, but he didn't tell the Yang family clearly, and told his aunt, that she didn't bring me here today, but I brought her here. Zhao Yi's long-planned marriage.

　I had to work overtime, and I was in a hurry to post it, everyone, let me correct it and read this chapter again if there is any problem, sorry.
