Ahri wasn't surprised at all when she heard this.

Because when this person first appeared, she could tell that he was either rich or noble.

Unexpectedly, they were actually relatives of the emperor.

However, judging from his words, it seems that just because of what she said earlier, he wants his elder brother to appoint him as a general.

Or was it because she was a good cook that he won over his stomach and then gave her his heart along with her?

Ah Li decided to remain calm and deal with the situation as it arises. She would first prepare today's meals and then have a proper discussion with the person later.

She's hungry now too.

Su Chang'an saw that Ah Li was neither excited nor moved, and was still cooking calmly as always.

He figured she must think he was a liar.

Su Chang'an looked around and realized that he was about to leave as well, and he would take her with him.

It would be best to take him to see his elder brother, the emperor, and have his brother appoint him as a general in front of her.

That uncontrollable impulse, and that nameless anger...

This made Su Chang'an realize his own feelings; he loved her.

He couldn't bear to see other men laughing and joking with her, nor could he bear to see her cooking and cleaning for other men.

Just thinking about it makes him unable to bear it.

So, he wanted to take her away from here.

But would she be willing to go with him?

Su Chang'an slowly looked at Ah Li, and immediately made up his mind.

And so, a meal was set out again.

This time, Su Chang'an didn't eat by himself, but sat in front of Ali to eat.

Fan Xuan and the others went to eat as well.

As Su Chang'an ate, he looked at Ah Li and felt that today's food tasted even better.

Ah Li was eating her food very attentively, completely ignoring that Su Chang'an was watching her.

After finishing the meal, Ali didn't clear the dishes. Instead, she sat down in front of Su Chang'an and said, "Shall we talk?"

Fan Xuan stood behind Su Chang'an.

After Fan Xuan finished eating, he came over to watch over the person.

He glanced in Ahri's direction, as if to say, "Do I need to leave?"

Ahri says she doesn't need it.

Fan Xuan stood quietly behind Su Chang'an again.

Su Chang'an put down his tea and looked at Ali quite naturally, "What are you talking about?"

"Let's talk about my past, and who you really are, and how old you are?"

Su Chang'an placed his hands on the table, then rested his chin on his hand and said casually, "My name is Su Chang'an, the younger brother of the Emperor of Jingran Kingdom. I am twenty-six years old this year, unmarried, and have no concubines. I am proficient in all kinds of arts and crafts, including literature, martial arts, music, chess, calligraphy, and painting."

Upon hearing this, Fan Xuan wanted to walk up to Su Chang'an and see if this person was still his young master.

Ah Li coughed lightly; she thought this person was only a teenager, or just over twenty.

She looks really young.

"Ah Li, are you satisfied?"

Su Chang'an leaned forward, his body pressed against the table.

Ahri nodded. "Very satisfied."

Su Chang'an was also satisfied with Ah Li's answer. He continued, "I was originally thinking of knocking you out and then taking you away from here, but I don't want to hurt you."

A hint of surprise flashed in Ahri's eyes. This person is so honest now.

She leaned closer and said, "Then I won't hide it from you, I've been married and have a child."

"What about the child?"

"It's gone. I lost it not long after I got pregnant."

Ah Li had no intention of hiding anything; he had the right to know her past.

Whether he can accept it or not, that's his business.

Su Chang'an stood up, walked silently to Ali, suddenly bent down and hugged her, saying, "I'm sorry, if I had met you sooner, you wouldn't have suffered those hurts."

Ah Li felt a warmth rise in her heart when Su Chang'an hugged her like that.

Fan Xuan glanced at the two embracing, then turned to leave.

"Fan Xuan".

Ah Li peeked out from Su Chang'an's arms and said, "Are you going to cause trouble for Lu Lanxi?"

Just now, when Su Chang'an stood up and walked towards Ah Li, he secretly gave Fan Xuan a few hand gestures, meaning to kill Lu Lanxi.

A man who cannot protect his wife, causes her to lose her child, and then divorces her, does not deserve to live.

Fan Xuan stopped, touched the sword at his waist, and acquiesced.

Ali tugged at Su Chang'an's sleeve and said, "I've let it go. It's just that the child came at the wrong time. Besides, I was bought from the slave market by Lu Lanxi, and I also lost my memory and forgot about this. Later, it was me who argued with Lu Lanxi about getting a divorce. At that time, I was like a madwoman."

Ah Li recounted everything the original owner had done, including her flirting with a businessman, being swindled out of all her wealth by him, and then slinking back to Lu Lanxi in disgrace.

“Lu Lanxi took me in for a while because he remembered our past friendship. I only decided to leave recently because I regained my memories of being a slave.”

After Ah Li finished speaking, she slowly pushed Su Chang'an away.

A woman who had been a slave, married, and had children couldn't believe that anyone would still be willing to accept her.

Su Chang'an listened as if to someone else's story; none of the things she described seemed like things she would do.

However, the sadness in her eyes and the faint melancholy when she recalled the past did not seem fake.

Su Chang'an noticed Ah Li's action of pushing him away, so he pulled her up and hugged her tightly again. He said, "I'm used to being free-spirited. No one dares to stop me or say anything when I want to do something."

"I, Su Chang'an, like Fu Li as she is now, I truly like her, and I will not regret it."
