Chapter 317 What more could I ask for!
Li Mingda blinked her intelligent big eyes. Although she was young, she had a general understanding of what was happening in front of her because of what she saw and heard in her daily life and her intelligence beyond her age.
Li Jiming, on the other hand, was much more innocent, her young face filled with confusion. Seeing everyone happily drinking milk tea, she was filled with confusion when she suddenly saw Chang Sun Chong burst into tears.
Could it be that the milk tea was too bitter that caused her to cry? With this innocent suspicion, she boldly took another sip of the milk tea in her hand, the tip of her tongue lightly touching the warm and sweet liquid. After confirming that it was not bitter, she looked at Li Mingda with an innocent face and asked anxiously, "Da Sizi, it's not bitter! Why is he crying?"
Li Mingda saw Li Jiming's innocent look and smiled softly. He stretched out his slender hand and gently stroked her little head, saying in a gentle voice, "Little girl won't understand."
Li Jiming persisted and pressed on, "Does Dasizi understand?"
Li Mingda shook his head slightly and replied softly, "I don't quite understand either."
At this time, Li Lizhi supported Chang Sun Chong tightly, her eyes full of concern.
She gently advised, "Husband, don't be so sad. No one really blames you. What happened before is just a passing cloud. People should focus on the future and not be bound by the shackles of the past."
"We have to live day by day. Now we are in Xianyang, which is no longer the troubled place of Chang'an. Here, no one will look at you strangely."
"If you are disheartened and want to escape the troubles of the world, then I will hide my identity with you, find a quiet place, and be an ordinary and simple couple, spending the rest of our lives together."
"Or, you can regroup and, relying on your talent and perseverance, fight hard in Xianyang, establish merit, and restore the Changsun family's former prestige."
"Regardless of the circumstances, your father's life's achievements cannot be erased. He contributed greatly to the Tang Dynasty. Although he made mistakes, they were also a reflection of the complexity of his life."
"Now, the choice is entirely in your hands, and no matter what decision you make, I will always be by your side."
Li Lizhi stared intently at Changsun Chong, who was sobbing on the ground, and her words were filled with encouragement: "My husband is the legitimate son of the Changsun family, the son of Changsun Wuji. You should have inherited the family's responsibilities and become a hero."
"You shouldn't be crying on the ground like a coward like you are now!"
"If you truly feel you owe His Majesty and the Emperor, you should take concrete action to make amends, rather than just weeping here."
"You're just crying like this. I don't feel any sincerity from you."
Li Shimin wanted to say a few words of comfort, but when he saw the powerful aura his eldest daughter instantly exuded and the unquestionable tone of her voice, he realized that his daughter had grown up and had her own independent thinking and ability to handle things.
So, he silently swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth, just quietly picked up the milk tea, took a sip, and watched from the sidelines.
Looking back on Li Lizhi's growth, she has been weak and sick since childhood, and has been in a long period of careful recuperation.
Fortunately, Li Chengqian had made plans and arrangements early on, otherwise, with Zhaoyang's delicate physique, she would probably not have been able to survive the hardships of life.
Thanks to the booming and rapid development of medicine in Xianyang in recent years, new hope has been brought for her recovery.
Li Shimin knew that Li Chengqian was secretly conducting some little-known research in the medical school.
Once, when he was strolling in the city, he happened to see several Japanese people fleeing from the medical school in a panic with crazy expressions.
However, they were quickly captured by the medical school guards.
Because of this sudden incident, Li Shimin specially summoned Wen Ruchu to inquire about the details.
Wen Ruchu then led him to the basement of the medical school. The scene in the basement deeply shocked even Li Shimin, who was accustomed to seeing all kinds of things in the world.
The tragedy and horror inside made him swear that he would never set foot there again in his life. It was simply a true hell on earth.
But when he learned that the lives of these Japanese people could open new doors for the medical research of the Tang Dynasty and make it possible to cure many diseases that were previously considered incurable, his heart was moved and his mentality changed dramatically.
In his heart, the people of the Tang Dynasty were extremely noble, while those people of other races were nothing but uncivilized barbarians.
Moreover, he himself has been suffering from rheumatism for a long time. Although his condition has been slightly relieved at present, he still longs to eradicate it completely.
He couldn't help but think that not only himself, but also Sizi, Zhaoyang and many future generations who might become ill, were in urgent need of more advanced and effective medical care.
For a moment, he even impulsively wanted to go to the alien land himself and capture all those aliens for medical research.
However, when he heard that the existing Japanese were enough to support five years of medical research, his radical thoughts gradually subsided and he slowly gave up the idea.
After hearing Li Lizhi's deafening words, Chang Sun Chong slowly raised his trembling hands, wiped the tears from his face, took a deep breath, and stood up from the ground with difficulty.
Hope and fighting spirit ignited in his eyes. He looked at Li Lizhi and said gratefully, "Changle, your husband is truly sorry for you."
"My husband lost his composure just now and made you laugh."
"But please rest assured, my husband already knows what to do now."
"Having the good fortune to marry a woman as intelligent and virtuous as you is the greatest blessing in my life, Chang Sun Chong. What more could I ask for?"
