Li Zhanping brought Li Xuanyan and Li Zhanping to a small living room.
The three of them sat down and a servant came in to make tea.
After the tea was brewed, Li Zhanping asked the servant to leave again.
"Drink tea." Li Zhanping greeted.
Xu Qingyun picked up the teacup and took a sip.
But Li Xuanyuan was not in the mood to drink tea. She just looked at her father eagerly, hoping that he could give her an answer as soon as possible.
"Yan'er, do you know how your marriage to the Shangguan family came about?" Li Zhanping did not answer Li Xuanyuan's question directly, but asked this question.
"My grandpa wants me to marry the Shangguan family to strengthen the power of the Li family." Li Xuanyuan replied.
Hearing this, Li Zhanping looked at Li Xuanyan and said, "Did your grandfather tell you this himself?"
Li Xuanyuan shook her head when she heard this: "No, but everyone else in the family said so."
"That's just their ignorant thinking." Li Zhanping shook his head and said.
"Your grandfather has never thought of sacrificing your happiness to marry into the Shangguan family in order to strengthen the power of the Li family! Even if your grandfather really wanted to do this, I, your father, would be the first to refuse!" Li Zhanping said loudly.
When Li Xuanyuan heard this, she looked at her father in surprise.
If it was true as his father said, it was not his grandfather who arranged for him to marry into the Shangguan family, then what about his marriage to the Shangguan family?
"The person who proposed this marriage was the Shangguan family, not your grandfather."
"Yan'er, do you still remember when you first met Shangguan Feihang?" Li Zhanping looked at Li Xuanyuan and asked.
Li Xuanyan recalled it for a moment, and then quickly remembered: "It was at grandpa's birthday party. At that time, Shangguan Feihang took the initiative to come over and strike up a conversation with me, but I ignored him."
"Yes, but what you don't know is that after that night, the Shangguan family brought a group of people to propose marriage, hoping that the two families can get married!"
"Your grandfather clearly refused, but the Shangguan family directly threatened your grandfather and said that if they did not agree to the marriage, they would destroy the Li family."
"That afternoon, the Shangguan family took action and showed off their family's powerful force. They wanted to frighten us and force us to agree to a marriage, but your grandfather still clearly refused."
"In the end, a group of people from the Shangguan family left, but the next day, the news about your marriage to the Shangguan family spread among the family. Not only everyone in the family knew about it, but also the entire family of all sizes in the Demon City knew about it.
Got this."
After listening to her father's story, Li Xuanyuan looked shocked.
She never knew that there were hidden secrets behind this incident. It turned out that she had wrongly blamed her grandfather. She knew that her grandfather had always loved her since she was a child. How could she let herself jump into the fire pit?
Xu Qingyun was also a little surprised. It turned out that things were not that simple.
The person who spread the news about the marriage may have been someone within the Li family, and of course the Shangguan family must have contributed to it.
"Yan'er, you were able to run out. If your grandfather hadn't acquiesced, do you think you could have left? Even if you did leave, your grandfather could have easily brought you back." Li Zhanping said.
"But, Aunt Liu came to see me!" Li Xuanyan said with some confusion.
The Aunt Liu that Li Xuanyuan was talking about was Liu Wanping, the person who worked with Grandpa Li Xuanyuan.
"Liu Wanping ran to find you on her own. Your grandfather didn't know about it at first, and your grandfather never asked you to go find you!"
