Su Shi did not hide it: "You were indeed adopted by your father and me, but at that time, that person said that you had no relatives. Your father and I were afraid that you would be sad, so we did not tell you about your life experience."
"Ali, did someone come to look for you?"
"Not really, but mother, the current emperor had a princess who was born twenty-six years ago and was stolen from the palace. That princess also had a red birthmark on her back in the shape of a lucky cloud. I thought it might be a coincidence at the time, just some speculation. Later, the emperor asked the prince's senior brother to investigate, and they found out that someone took the princess to Guangning, and that person had died twenty-five years ago. That's when I started to suspect that I might not be your and father's child..."
Su was shocked: "Princess? Are you saying that you might be a princess?"
"Yes, mother, please tell me, but you must tell me how you adopted me back then."
"Twenty-five years ago, not long after your father and I got married, he broke his leg. I took him to Duobao City to get treatment. At that time, because we needed your treatment, our family had to save as much money as possible. Your father and I rented a house in a slum."
"When your father learned that his leg couldn't be cured and he would never be able to take part in the imperial examinations again, he became completely depressed. At that time, you were just a toddler, living next door to us with your grandfather. One time, for some reason, you walked into our yard alone and stood in front of your parents, laughing non-stop."
As Su spoke, it was as if she had returned to the year she first met Su Li: "That was the first time your father smiled since he knew his legs were broken..."
"Strangely enough, you seemed to like me and your father very much. After that, you would stumble over to us every day and talk to us in babbling voices."
"Not long after, your grandfather fell seriously ill. Before he passed away, he said you had no relatives and begged us to adopt you. Your father and I liked you, so we naturally agreed."
"Later, we were afraid you'd be sad, and we were also afraid you'd be bullied because you weren't your father and I's biological child. Since your father and I had been away for over half a year already, we pretended you were born while I was accompanying your father on his leg treatment. To prevent others from suspecting anything, your father and I stayed in Duobao City for another six months. We even changed your actual age to one year younger..."
Su Li was also filled with emotion. She had not expected that the original owner and her parents would have such a fate, nor had she expected that her parents would give so much for her.
Then he confirmed, "Mom, do you know the name of the man who claimed to be my grandfather?"
"Everyone calls him Lao Qi."
Old Seven...
Come on, she really is a princess.
"Mother, I will go tell the prince right now that the mission he has come back on this time is to find the princess who was taken away from the capital by the seventh prince."
"Okay, but Ali, you..."
She was naturally happy for Ah Li to have found her family, but she also felt reluctant to let her go. After all, that was the child she had loved since childhood. Now that she suddenly had other parents and relatives, she didn't know if she would stop being close to her in the future...
Seeing Su's face full of reluctance, Su Li knew what she was thinking. She took her hand and said, "Mom, no matter who I am or what my future status is, you and Dad will always be my dad and mom, and I will always be your daughter..."
Su finally smiled. Ah Li had grown up under her care, and she had always been a good child. How could she stop being close to her biological parents now that she had them? She was overthinking it. From now on, Ah Li had more relatives who loved her, which was a good thing...
"Good boy... Let's go and tell your father and Aji..."
The mother and daughter returned to the main house affectionately and then told the story.
Ji Tinglan was not too surprised, after all, they had already guessed it before.
Su Zheng was quite shocked. For so many years, he and his wife had always believed that A Li had no blood relatives in this world. However, they did not expect that the grandfather who claimed to be A Li's only relative was actually the one who took the princess away from the capital.
Su Shen was so shocked that his mouth dropped open. "Sister, it's fine if you're not my parents' biological child, but you're actually a princess?"
Who can tell him if he is dreaming and how such an incredible thing could happen?
No, the incredible things are not just about my sister, but also about my brother-in-law. He was just a poor student who came to Beijing to take the imperial examination. Not only did he become the top scorer, but he was also the eldest son and grandson of the Duke of Ji.
Should he say that these two people are so destined to be together and are so well-matched?
"Sister, when I see you next time, do I have to bow and shout 'Hail Princess'?"
Su Li laughed and scolded: "You are the most naughty..."
Su Zheng also quickly reminded him: "It's okay to say it in front of your family, but whether your sister is a princess still needs to be confirmed by the emperor. You are not allowed to say it outside."
Su also agreed: "Your father is right."
Su Shen laughed and said, "Don't worry, Dad and Mom, I know the seriousness of this matter and will not tell anyone about it..."
