"Jia Li 2"
37
After a long discussion, Tong Mu and the southern emperor informed Liu Bei of their decision.
"we will ask Jia Li to decide whether or not to accept your teacher's engagement" the emperor said.
Hearing the southern emperor's words Liu Bei was furious.
"so bad you said that ! What a hard time accepting this engagement !" Liu Bei was a little angry. He felt that if Jia Li did not deserve to break off the engagement, only the heavenly teacher would have the right to make that decision.
"calm down Liu Bei. It's the most appropriate decision. After all I have no authority because I am not his father and the one who is married is Jia Li. So let him decide" said the emperor firmly.
"alright" Liu Bei said. Although he did not like to have to wait for that answer, but he had no choice because this was the emperor's decision and he had to respect it.
"1 week to come here, and I hope that the heavenly master Chunying comes alone to hear Jia Li's answer" the emperor said.
Tong Mu was more silent now. He is afraid of mispronouncing and making unnecessary trouble.
"alright" Liu Bei said.
After his affairs were finished Liu Bei and his comrades left.
"now what ?" ask emperor. The man was like a fool whose confusion became the way home when he was the emperor. And he became a burden to Tong Mu.
"i'll tell Jia Li, we'll have Jia Li choose among the 2 men according to his heart's wishes, stick to the original plan. And you told the old queen mother about the annulment of our son's arranged marriage" Tong Mu said.
"alright" said the southern emperor listlessly.
After that Tong Mu quickly went home. He had to tell Jia Li about this matter. Arriving at Tong Mu's house immediately told Jia Li. The old man had to say it immediately because they did not have much time to decide on a choice.
After arriving at Tong Mu's house immediately went to meet Jia Li. As Tong Mu entered Jia Li's room territory, he immediately saw a girl sitting sweetly while reading a book.
"son" said Tong Mu softly.
Hearing that Jia Li immediately looked at Tong Mu with her sweet smile.
"dad, "said Jia Li happily.
Just as Jia Li wanted to get up to get close to his father, Tong Mu gestured for Jia Li to stay where he was.
"why father ?" jia Li asked confusedly. He was confused because he saw his father's pale face and looked like he was full of problems.
"huh.." Tong Mu sighed violently and walked over to his son.
"son, father, you want to talk seriously" Tong Mu said in a serious tone.
This made Jia Li confused.
"what's dad talking about ?" jia Li asked.
"son... do you know the heavenly master Chunying ?" ask Tong Mu. Tong Mu looked at his son, he wanted to know the true relationship between Chunying and Jia Li to the extent that the man wanted to marry his son.
"everyone knows about the heavenly master Chunying, father" Jia Li said with a plain face.
Jia Li's words were not what Tong Mu expected, it was not like when Tong Mu asked Jia Li's relationship with Jilli. Back then Jia Li even acknowledged their closeness, but now Jia Li did not even seem to know the heavenly master Chunying. And it made Tong Mu wonder what made the heavenly master Chunying propose to Jia Li ? Is it because it is beautiful ? Clever ? Position ? Come on... In this world there are many more than Jia Li, so why did that man choose his daughter ?
"what does he like about my son ?" inner Tong Mu.
"ah, yes son" said Tong Mu.
Jia Li looked at his father with a puzzled expression.
"what's the matter dad ? Why do you look weird, actually..what's the matter dad ?" ucao Jia Li's.
"son.. There are 2 powerful men who propose to you" said Tong Mu.
Hearing that, Jia Li laughed out loud.
"hahahaha." laughs Jia Li.
According to Jia Li this sounds quite funny and impossible, the article there are 2 men who propose to him and that man is powerful again. What the powerful man saw from her, she was just a girl of stature and a bookworm. According to Jia Li, he really had no attractiveness.
But when he saw Tong Mu who was staring at Jia Li seriously, Jia Li's laughter disappeared.
"is this serious dad ?" jia Li asked with a plain face.
Seeing the silly behavior of his son, Tong Mu really could not believe that Jia Li was a struggle for many men. And. they're all in power.
Tong Mu let out a rude sigh, then said "heavenly guri Jilli and celestial teacher Chunying proposed to you, Jia Li. And you must choose between them immediately" said Tong Mu listlessly.
"wha !!!" jia Li said in a high tone. The girl looked at her father with a shocked and incredulous face. I can't believe what he heard.
"..." - ".Tong Mu was silent.
"a...dad... i... I don't care if it's Jilli but... heavenly master Chunying ? I don't even know him. Why did he propose to me ?" jia Li asked.
"..." - ".Tong Mu was silent. He already knew that Jia Li would definitely choose Jilli over Chunying whom he never knew.
"so.. will you marry the heavenly teacher Jilli ?" ask Tong Mu.
"no.. I. I did accept his proposal but.." Jia Li stammered.
"but I still don't want to marry you ! I still want to be with dad" Jia Li exclaimed. He looked at Tong Mu with a sad face.
Jia Li did accept Jilli's proposal, and she also began to love Jilli for Jilli's kindness and earnestness. But that doesn't mean Jia Li will get married anytime soon. It was because Jia Li still wanted to enjoy her time with Tong Mu.
"yes, I want that too...."Tong Mu stopped his words. He is also confused how to behave.
Tong Mu sighed violently then looked at his daughter mutely.
"think again your decision to choose Jilli well, son, it concerns your future. And father will always support your decision" after saying that Tong Mu left Jia Li's room.
Now only Jia Li was alone in the room. She cried. He hated his life being governed by others. She's the world that Jia Li's parents had always supported her wishes, Jia Li could choose and decide for himself her future including love affairs. In his former world, women are quite free to choose the path he wants. Both men and women in equal degrees. Tipi in this life Jia Li could not, if he could what about his father's reputation ? If he refused not only his father's reputation would be threatened but also the peace of the southern empire.
Jia Li was very confused now. Especially every time you remember if there were 2 men who proposed to him. The first man she was close to, the second the mysterious man who knew who she was. If told to choose Jia Li prefers to marry Jilli, after all Jia Li began to love the man. Although Jia Li and Jilli are still young and Jia Li's age is too early for the sacred bond of marriage, but.
