The day her husband welcomed the time-traveling girl into the house, she woke up

"Xiao Shu, are you too lazy to get up and greet your father now that you see him?"

Li Yunzhi's voice was deep. Although there was no obvious anger in it, it revealed a heart-pounding pressure.

Li Shu instinctively tried to stand up, but the moment her feet touched the ground, the resentment built up in her chest due to what she had seen and heard in her dream stopped her. She stared at Li Yunzhi again and asked, "Did father come here to force me to apologize to Xie Yu in public?"

Li Yunzhi paused.

In the past, she would call him Daddy at such times.

Moreover, her voice was calm and somewhat indifferent at this moment, which was something she had never heard before.

Without waiting for him to speak, she continued, "If so, father, please go back. I've already told Ning Jin and the others that I will never apologize or make amends for something I didn't do. If father is just as unconvinced as Ning Jin and the others, you can have the people from the Dali Temple arrest me and interrogate me."

She has said this many times in the past.

After all, she knew very well that they would never really let the Dali Temple come to interrogate her.

Therefore, Li Yunzhi ignored the strange feeling in his heart, thinking that this time she was no different from the past, and that she was sure that they would not really do anything to her, so she became more and more out of control.

So he slammed himself down in the chair across from Li Shu and scolded her in a harsher tone than before, "Ning Jin has already twice questioned those who witnessed you pushing Yu'er into the water, and you still refuse to admit it!"

Li Shu straightened her back and looked him in the eye. Her heart was aching like needles pricking at her, but she dug her nails into her palms and tried to keep her voice steady. "So, how is Father going to help Xie Yu? Force me to come before Xie Yu, break my legs, and make me kneel down before her?"

She had said something similar before, but never in this tone...

Li Yunzhi felt even more strange, but he still chose to ignore it.

However, Li Shu's next words made it impossible for him to ignore the strangeness in his heart.

"Xie Yu is so kind and good, I don't think she would agree with what father did. And if you did it without telling her, it might scare her, and then you father would be very distressed. So I have thought of a good way for you father and you father to solve the problem once and for all! Father can sever the father-daughter relationship with me, recognize Xie Yu as his daughter, and then let Ning Jin divorce me and marry Xie Yu as his prince's consort. Then I will no longer be the lady of the general's mansion, nor the wife of the prince of Dingbei Marquis's mansion. How dare I not apologize to the lady of the general's mansion and the wife of the prince of Dingbei Marquis's mansion!"

"..."

Li Yunzhi didn't speak for a long time.

During this period, Li Shu kept looking at him without blinking.

He could clearly see the stubbornness and bravado in her eyes.

But apart from her stubbornness, there was also deep resentment and sadness in her eyes.

It was clearly her fault for being willful and mischievous that she almost killed him, so why is she still resentful and sad?

Could it be true that as Yu'er said, she did not push Yu'er?

As for her crazy words at this moment...

How could he possibly sever the father-daughter relationship with her!

Although he did have the idea of ​​adopting Yu'er as his goddaughter...

There was nothing innocent between Ning Jin and Yu'er, and she had always looked at their friendship with dirty thoughts, and she even said something like asking Ning Jin to divorce her!

Isn't she afraid of pushing Ning Jin too far and making him divorce her?

No matter how mischievous she was in the past, she would never say anything like divorce!

After an unknown amount of time, he sighed deeply and finally spoke, "It's all my fault because you lost your mother at such a young age. I was too indulgent towards you. Since you're unwilling to apologize to Yu'er for this incident, then I, as her father, will make it up to her. I'll choose an auspicious day to officially adopt her as my goddaughter. After consulting with the elders, I'll also write her name into the family tree and change her surname to Li."

Hearing this, Ning Jin, Li Yan and Li Shen, who had been stunned by Li Shu's words just now, finally came back to their senses. They showed joy on their faces at the same time and breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

No matter what, this matter is finally over.

However, Li Yan and Li Shen were happy that Xie Yu had become their legitimate sister, while Ning Jin was happy that Xie Yu had the identity to attend any banquet and was no longer a person of unknown origin in the eyes of others.

Li Shu just looked at Li Yunzhi and slowly blinked her sore eyes.

Although her heart was numb from the pain, her face didn't show any sadness at all.

Then she lowered her head and thought to herself.

This happened several years earlier than in my dream...

So if she hadn't succeeded in changing her own ending, would her death have been much earlier?

But what is different from the dream is that now she has the support of Peacock Terrace, whose strength and financial resources she is not yet clear about. So when her death comes early, she will not be as desperate and helpless as she is in the dream, and can only wait for death miserably. She will go crazy and take them all away!

Thinking of this, Li Shu's heart no longer hurt, and the corners of her mouth slowly curled up.

Then she raised her head and said, "Then I would like to congratulate General Li on the birth of his daughter!"

"I won't sever our father-daughter relationship. I'm just adopting Yu'er as my goddaughter! Didn't you get into this mess because Ning Jin placed Yu'er in your Tongxin Garden? When I choose an auspicious day to adopt Yu'er as my goddaughter, I'll bring her to our General's Mansion. Then you and Ning Jin can move into Tongxin Garden. But let me be frank: if you continue to embarrass Yu'er, I won't clean up the mess for you!"

"..."

The corners of Li Shu's mouth deepened.

What a good person to clean up after her!

Should she kneel down and kowtow in gratitude?

Li Yunzhi clearly saw the sarcasm on her face, but chose to ignore it. He stood up and said to Ning Jin, "Forgive me for not raising my daughter properly. This is the only way to resolve this. Please try to console Yu'er and don't let her feel wronged."

Ning Jin hurriedly bowed and said, "Father-in-law, you are too kind. Yu'er is so kind and considerate. She won't feel wronged. She will definitely be very happy to be your goddaughter."

"Well, then I won't stay in your mansion for long. Once I have made all the arrangements, I will send someone over to explain everything to you."

"Yes, I will escort my father-in-law out of the house."

After the four of them left, Aunt Gui walked over to Li Shu with red eyes and said with a sob, "Young lady, if you feel sad, just cry."

Li Shu took a deep breath and shook her head vigorously, "I cried enough in my dreams. I don't want to cry anymore."

"Then we won't cry anymore. I'll go make some sweet soup for you. The General's wife always said that if you eat something sweet when you're sad, you won't feel sad anymore."

"..."

Li Shu thought about it and realized that her mother did always say that.

Then she curled up the corners of her mouth and smiled and nodded.

Although smiling is uglier than crying.

When Nanny Gui lifted the door curtain and went out, she heard a few suppressed cries.

She knew without asking that Cuiwei was crying for her because she felt sorry for her.

Then she tried to call out, "Lin Yuan?"

The next moment, Lin Yuan's voice rang out from a corner of her room, "Your subordinate is here."

She looked in the direction of the voice and met Lin Yuan's face, a tangled expression that wanted to comfort her but didn't know how. She raised an eyebrow and asked deliberately, "I'm not the Crown Prince's wife, nor the General's wife anymore. Will you at Peacock Terrace still do things for me?"

Lin Yuan didn't even think about it and blurted out, "Of course! After all, our Peacock Terrace originally belonged to the young lady!"

Li Shu blinked.

Is Peacock Terrace hers?

Was it left to her by her mother?

Lin Yuan also blinked, then raised his hand and slapped his mouth hard.

Oops!

Before Sanniang left, she told him not to tell anyone!
