Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family-Chapter 1049 - 1048: Inheriting the Kingdom

Lin Xiner returned very late.

No matter how she tossed and turned, the little maids allowed Liu Sisi to come and go, but they did not let her leave.

Liu Sisi had thoughts of escaping, but with the vast mountains surrounding her, she didn’t even know which direction to flee.

"I say, can we talk?"

As soon as she saw Lin Xiner’s figure, Liu Sisi stood up immediately and said.

Lin Xiner had a full face of smiles, "What does Si Er want to say? You just go ahead; between mother and daughter, why be so polite? Just speak your mind."

"Actually, what I want to say is just one sentence."

Liu Sisi stood seriously in front of Lin Xiner, looking straight into her eyes, "I am not Liu Sisi."

Her gaze was exceptionally earnest, staring straight at her, unblinking.

Lin Xiner’s face showed a moment of surprise, and then she broke into a smile, "Si Er, such jokes are not amusing. Right, have you eaten? Come, let’s go have some food together. I, the Empress, have been running back and forth countless times today, and I am already starving."

"I am not hungry, and I told you that I am not Liu Sisi, whether you believe it or not."

After saying that, Liu Sisi got up and walked inside.

She realized that Lin Xiner in front of her apparently didn’t believe her. But that was okay.

"Si Er, you grew up in Zhao Country since infancy, you have never seen the beautiful scenery of the Great Xia; the grasslands over there are vast, the scenery exquisite, the mountains majestic and splendid, with herds of cattle and sheep, and the people are hospitable and warm..."

Lin Xiner kept talking non-stop, completely oblivious to Liu Sisi’s impatient expression.

"Cough cough, there is something I want to ask you..."

Liu Sisi was somewhat unsure how to start, but finally she gritted her teeth, looked up and asked, "You say... who is my real father?"

Who her birth parents were had always been a tangle in her mind, practically becoming an ailment of the heart. Now that she had a rare opportunity to confirm it, she naturally wanted to get a clear answer.

Lin Xiner obviously did not expect Liu Sisi to ask this. The smile on her face stiffened, then she shook her head, "Si Er, you are the Empress’s daughter, and the future Young Master of the Great Xia. Since the founding of the Great Xia, it has been the tradition for women to inherit the kingdom’s throne. Who your birth father is not important; as long as you, Liu Sisi, are the Empress’s daughter, you have the eligibility to succeed the kingdom of the Great Xia."

Yikes!

Liu Sisi took a sharp breath. Why hadn’t she heard anyone mention this before?

Not right, it seemed she had never asked, had she?

"Si Er, don’t be afraid! Mom had already set things in motion many years ago. Over the years, we have gradually reached the final stages. As long as Mom succeeds in this effort, you will no longer have to hide and you can return to the vast Great Xia Country openly and honorably; you will be the Young Master of a nation!"

"The Great Xia is really... it’s a woman who inherits the kingdom?"

Immediately, an image of a kingdom ruled by women emerged before Liu Sisi’s eyes, and she couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of her mouth.

"This matter has long ceased to be a secret. You couldn’t have always been unaware of it, could you? But then again, it’s no surprise, given that Zhao Wu and Zhao Dun probably didn’t inform you of this," Lin Xiner suddenly laughed.

She might not understand others, but she had a profound understanding of how Zhao Wu and Zhao Dun, the two men, were.

"..."

Liu Sisi felt her mind become chaotic amidst the wind. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

"Actually, it is not true that only a woman can inherit the kingdom; the Great Xia has also had male rulers," Lin Xiner commented, her eyes and eyebrows glowing as she spoke: "Think of me, Lin Xiner. I have toiled my whole life and yet have only you for a daughter. Si Er, you were born destined to be unlike others, you are meant to inherit the kingdom! You must not be deceived by Zhao Wu! He is accustomed to duplicity, especially fond of striking a cold blow. You may not know how much your mother has invested in you over the years, but that doesn’t matter. As long as you return to the Great Xia with your mother, you will immediately understand..."

Liu Sisi couldn’t hear any more of what Lin Xiner was saying; her ears were buzzing so much that she couldn’t focus at all.

Who could slap her and wake her from this nightmare?

Wasn’t she, Liu Sisi, just an ordinary little woman?

All she wanted was marital harmony, her children’s laughter around her knees, and to lead an idyllic life envied by no immortals.

At present, everything suddenly burst forth, telling her this suddenly appearing woman who was to inherit the kingdom was for what purpose?

"I think you’ve made a mistake about one thing," Liu Sisi said.

Her facial expression suddenly relaxed, and she began to smile. Her laughter, at the moment, sounded particularly humorous, "I said it just now, I am not Liu Sisi! I’m not Liu Sisi, I am not her, do you understand?"

Clearly struggling to understand Liu Sisi’s point of view, Lin Xiner hesitated for a moment before responding: "Whether you are her or not, to me, you are her at the moment! My people have been with you since you were young, and your mother has tried to give you a normal, happy childhood. This is because she understands that the path you must take is ultimately different from others and that you need to endure much. Your mother couldn’t bear to see even your childhood stripped away like mine was, so..."

"Enough! I don’t want to listen!"

At this point, Liu Sisi could no longer hold back and directly stood up, walking up to Lin Xiner: "I’m not afraid to tell you the truth, your daughter died long ago! She died before she could even marry. And the person I am now is nothing but a wandering spirit from the future; I’m not her! Don’t impose your maternal expectations on me, I don’t want them! I have never thought about becoming the ruler of the Great Xia. Please find someone else!"

She did not hesitate to reveal the biggest secret of her life to escape this burden.

Now that she had finally shouted this secret out, she felt incredibly refreshed and relieved.

Lin Xiner obviously didn’t expect Liu Sisi to say such things, and after a moment’s hesitation, she nodded again, "That’s right! As a girl, getting married is like starting a new life. Your reasoning is correct."

Lin Xiner clearly misunderstood Liu Sisi’s words, smiling indifferently, "But you don’t have to worry, I am very fond of your child Niuniu. She is now in Shenlong Valley, well-fed and well-taught. Her progress in medical skills is not slower than children several years older than her. She may soon..."

"Niuniu, you... you mean Niuniu, she..."

Liu Sisi’s head was spinning, and she glared furiously at Lin Xiner in front of her.

Niuniu, her Niuniu!

Had Niuniu actually fallen into the hands of Lin Xiner before her eyes?

Was that Young Master Wuxin also Lin Xiner’s person? It was all her fault. Initially, she shouldn’t have been soft-hearted, agreeing simply because Niuniu begged her.

Lin Xiner’s face was full of a kind smile, "Niuniu is safe. Even if Young Master Wuxin is capable, he wouldn’t dare to betray the faith of Shenlong Valley. Niuniu is with him, and I the Empress feel relieved."
