Her parents only had her as their daughter. If she didn't go back, how lonely her parents would be in their later years.
"There's no need to worry about that. The Li family's mansion that was raided has been unsealed. From now on, I will reinstate General Li to his former position."
“I have already proclaimed to the world that General Li did not collude with the enemy or betray the country, and I have cleared his name. Why, didn’t Gu Qian tell you this?”
Li Wenshu was slightly taken aback: "Senior brother, I don't know. Perhaps he told Father that Father doesn't want to come back."
Over the years, my senior brother has visited Lingnan Village more than once.
They were either sending money or food.
But every time, her mother kicked her out of the yard.
Her mother held a deep prejudice against her senior brother.
Li Wenshu guessed correctly; Li Zheng no longer wanted to live the kind of life he used to.
It took them a long time to settle down.
"Please don't go, okay?" He Lin pleaded again.
"Shu'er, the position of Empress can be reserved for you forever."
Li Wenshu: "Empress...this is not what I want."
He Lin: "Shu'er, I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, once you become Empress, the palace gates will always be open for you, and you can come and go as you please."
“If your parents-in-law don’t want to come back, I’ll accompany you whenever you want to visit them. Later, when they get older, we’ll bring them back together to live out their old age and take care of them.”
Li Wenshu's mind wavered because of He Lin's words.
Why didn't you take me to the palace?
“…No rush.” He Lin felt a little guilty thinking of the two imperial concubines in his harem.
He wondered how he should tell Shu'er about this.
Shu'er shouldn't mind, right?
Isn't it normal for a man to have multiple wives and concubines?
Besides, he is His Majesty.
"Shu'er, take me to meet your parents, and then we'll get married."
"..." Li Wenshu hesitated for a moment, "Will you come back with me?"
“Of course.” He Lin smiled gently. “I’ll accompany you home. If I can persuade your father to return to court, that would be even better.”
“No, Father is tired of the court,” Li Wenshu said, denying it for her father.
“Okay, I won’t force you,” He Lin assured him.
"I'll accompany you home in a few days," He Lin said with a smile.
Li Wenshu readily accepted.
However, she hadn't even begun her journey home.
Then I saw my parents come looking for me at the same time.
Li Zheng and Ye Qiuyun came after their daughter because they were really worried about her.
The couple naturally understood their daughter's thoughts.
Although He Lin had become His Majesty, he was no longer hampered by the late Emperor.
However, Li Zheng and Ye Qiuyun still did not approve of the marriage.
The former residence of the Second Prince was personally greeted by He Lin.
He led Li Zheng and his wife to the main hall and ordered the servants to serve them the finest tea.
Looking at her mother's gloomy gaze, Li Wenshu stood awkwardly behind her, unsure how to begin her greeting.
Ms. Ye sipped her tea slowly, her mouth parched from the long journey.
Li Zheng, on the other hand, carefully observed He Lin sitting opposite him.
He wondered if this person had actually become His Majesty.
After Li Zheng and his wife rested for a while, He Lin arranged accommodations for them.
He followed Li Zheng to the courtyard that had been arranged for the couple.
We request that Li Zheng return to the court.
However, as expected, he was rejected.
He Lin already knew the outcome, so he stopped worrying and settled for the second best option: to have the couple stay in Shangjin.
However, Li Zheng still refused.
Ye Qiuyun even stated bluntly:
"Your Majesty, my husband and I are only here to take Shu'er home."
