Chapter 144: Confession
Cao Hou has always trusted King Heng, and although he didn't know what trouble he would incur, he was still firmly opposed to them being together.
Cao An said: "Father, I have made up my mind to marry Xiaoyu, and I hope that my father can agree to our marriage." Cao An kowtowed deeply to Cao Hou, and then raised his head to look at him: "If my father doesn't agree to my marriage to Xiaoyu, I won't be able to kneel for a long time." ”
Cao An's health has always been bad, where can he withstand a long kneeling, this is clearly threatening Cao Hou with his body. Cao Hou looked like he hated iron but not steel, and Mrs. Cao was full of anxiety and worry.
Mrs. Cao hurriedly went to help Cao An, "An'er, get up quickly." ”
Cao An stubbornly shook his head, "If my father and mother don't agree to our marriage, I can't afford to kneel for a long time." ”
Mrs. Hou was a little soft-hearted, he looked at Cao Hou, and Cao Hou said: "If he likes to kneel, let him kneel!" ”
Li Siyu frowned, and then knelt down beside Cao An, "Please let Master Hou fulfill us." ”
Cao Hou looked at Li Siyu, "Miss Xiaoyu, there are so many men in the world, why do you want to pester us An'er?" ”
Cao An said: "Father, it's not that she pesters me, but I like her." ”
Cao Hou looked at Cao An, "There are so many women in the world, why do you want to like her?" ”
Cao An said: "I don't know what to do, and I go deep." ”
Li Siyu was a little moved, this was the most beautiful love story she had ever heard. She hung her head slightly, not knowing whether she should tell him who she really was.
He had the right to know, she thought.
Cao Hou saw that he couldn't persuade Cao An, and finally left in a huff. Mrs. Hou persuaded Cao An with tears and snot, but Cao An was still unmoved. In the end, only the kneeling Li Siyu and Cao An were left in the study.
Cao An said: "I will definitely persuade my parents to agree to our marriage, you don't have to kneel here." Go back and rest! ”
Li Siyu said: "You are suffering here, how can I have the heart to rest?" I would like to share your ups and downs. ”
Cao An's face was moved, but he didn't speak again.
Li Siyu thought for a while and then said: "There are some things I have always wanted to tell you, but I don't have the courage to say them, but I feel that I can't hide them from you, so I still decided to sue you." ”
Cao An saw that Li Siyu looked very embarrassed, and he said, "If you don't want to say it." Don't say it, I won't blame you for what you've hidden from me. ”
Li Siyu shook his head, "I have to let you know about this matter." In fact. Li Siyu paused and then plucked up the courage to say: "My full name is Li Siyu, and I was not born in poverty. ”
Cao An just felt that the name Li Siyu was very familiar, and when he remembered it, he couldn't help but be surprised. "You are Li Siyu, the granddaughter of Li Shilang who disappeared from the execution ground?" Recalling the days when she arrived at Houfu. It seems to be that time.
Cao Anzhong was very surprised, he didn't expect her to have such an identity, she was actually the granddaughter of Li Shilang. And her father is the prince of Yipin County.
Li Siyu said: "I am the Li Siyu who escaped from the execution ground by taking advantage of the solar eclipse. Our Li family was beheaded by the emperor's order, but I escaped, to be precise, I am a fugitive. Do you still want to marry such a woman? ”
Although Cao An didn't understand what a solar eclipse was, he understood that she must be referring to the darkness that had fallen at that time. Although surprised by her identity. But he didn't care, he said, "That thing has nothing to do with you." Besides, Li Shilang didn't do anything wrong. You're innocent, and I don't dislike you just because you've been in jail and guillotined. My feelings for you will not be affected by this. ”
Li Siyu said: "But I am the identity of a sinner girl, aren't you afraid that I will be involved in the Houfu?" She struggled with it at first.
Cao An said: "Maybe you don't know yet, the emperor has been kind to Brigadier to write your name into the Jia family tree. ”
Li Siyu was full of questions: "What do you mean?" ”
Cao An said: "Yesterday, Jia Jungong sent a post to all the officials in Luoyang City, saying that his daughter Li Siyu, who succeeded to the Li family, has been added to the Jia family tree. In other words, you are now not the Li family but the Jia family. It was the Li family that the emperor ordered to be beheaded, and now that you are the Jia family, you are naturally no longer the target of beheading. From the moment your name was written into the Jia family tree, you were no longer a sinner. ”
"Really?" It took Li Siyu a lot of time to digest Cao An's words.
Cao An nodded, "Naturally, it's true." ”
She is no longer a sinner, in other words, she is completely free. It seems that Jia Jungong still cares about her daughter, otherwise he would not have gone to great lengths to attribute her to the Li family tree. Li Siyu felt that it took a lot of effort for Jia Jungong to persuade the emperor to agree to this matter. She didn't know that the emperor would agree to this, it was entirely for King Qi's consideration.
However, King Qi and Li Siyu have a marriage contract, except for the emperor and queen, King Heng of Qi, only Jia Jungong's family knows.
The secrecy of this matter is very high, so even Cao Hou doesn't know about it. Cao An didn't know even more.
Li Siyu almost shouted with joy, since she traveled to ancient times, the identity of the sinner girl was like a big stone pressing on her heart, often making her breathless. Now that the stone had been taken away, she instantly felt much more relaxed.
Cao An said: "It's hard for you these days. Because of her status as a sinner, she must have been worried day and night, and I am afraid that she rarely slept peacefully.
Li Siyu said: "It's nothing, I'm fine in the Hou Mansion, but fortunately, I fled to the Hou Mansion at the beginning, so I didn't suffer much." Maybe that's fate. ”
Cao An said: "Now do you want to go back and recognize your parents?" ”
Li Siyu was slightly stunned, does she want to go back to Jiafu? No, she didn't want to go back. She was not the original owner after all, and she suddenly recognized a strange couple as her parents, and she felt that it was difficult to adapt for a while.
Li Siyu said: "Although I am no longer a sinner, I don't want to disclose my identity. In other words, although she used the body of the original owner, she did not want to live as the original owner. She just wants to be a free and unrestrained Li Siyu, and she doesn't want to be the daughter of Jia Jungong.
Cao An didn't understand it, and he said, "Although I don't understand why you don't want to return to Jiafu, I respect your choice." I'm not going to sue anyone about your identity. ”
If the prince knew that she was the daughter of the Duke of Jia County, he would probably be more enthusiastic about marrying her. If the prince went directly to ask the emperor for marriage, he would have no chance with her in this life. He didn't want that to happen, so he didn't want her identity to be revealed until they were married.
Li Siyu said: "Thank you! Li Siyu knew that her identity would be exposed sooner or later, but she didn't want it to be now. Now she is not ready to integrate into the Jia family. (To be continued.) )
