She will make more things like this for her sister in the future!

Let my sister go fight!

My older sister loves to fight, and she's always happy when she wins.

Huo Xiaolong had no idea how many more things he would have to hide for his younger sister in the future, but he was currently enjoying watching his mother beat Xiao Lanyi.

She had wanted to do this for a long time, but she was afraid that Sister Ruyi would be angry.

The Lan family's secret guard on the rooftop said to his colleague beside him

"Your master is being beaten down there, aren't you going to help?"

The Xiao family's secret guard glared at him and said

“Your master gets beaten from time to time, and I haven’t seen you go down and lend a hand.”

"..."

"..."

The subordinates following behind didn't understand. Both masters were equally incompetent. What was the point of you two bosses being more interesting than your masters every day? You might as well go down and fight!

Cen Ang finally vented her anger, dislocating Xiao Lanyi's arm. Now, the man is kneeling on the ground, sincerely asking for her hand in marriage.

“Aunt, I promise I will treat Ruyi well. I have already bought the house. She doesn’t need to go to the front line with me. I will come back during my leave. Please, Aunt, betroth Ruyi to me.”

Today's engagement ceremony was different from the previous ones. The doors of Fengyue Tower were tightly closed. Cen Ang was truly unwilling to let Ruyi marry Xiao Lanyi. What if the man changed his mind about marrying into a high-ranking family?

Unlike the previous men, this one held a truly high position and great power, and only the emperor could suppress him.

“I can agree to that,” Cen Ang said.

The man breathed a sigh of relief and looked straight up at his beloved on the second floor. Then, he heard Cen Ang continue speaking.

"But you have to write me a divorce agreement."

"aunt?"

Why are you writing a divorce agreement before you've even settled things?

Xiao Lanyi had never heard of such a thing in his entire life.

Huo Xiaolong looked at his godmother with a happy smile and took a writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone from the counter and placed them next to Xiao Lanyi.

“You are a powerful and wealthy family, and my Fengyue Pavilion cannot afford to offend you. You must provide my daughter with a guarantee. If one day you no longer like her or get tired of her, no matter which young lady from the capital you take as your concubine, you must send her back to me safely. If you cannot do this, I will come to you with this divorce agreement.”

Cen Ang stared at Xiao Lanyi expressionlessly, her eyes red-rimmed. She had seen too much of that. She had seen too many high-ranking officials' sons who would first utter sweet nothings and then turn around and make vows of eternal love to others.

What she wants is security.

No matter how skilled the people at Fengyue Tower were in martial arts, they were no match for the army under their command.

If that day truly comes, there will still be this divorce agreement, and public opinion and reputation.

“I will go too. Sister Ruyi will always be my sister. You can’t treat her badly. If what my mother said really happens, she will take people away, and I will stand up for my sister.”

Huo Xiaolong stared at Marshal Xiao with a sinister look. Xiao Lanyi was not afraid of Cen Ang's pressure, but now this child looked at him as if he were a dead man, a lump of rotting flesh.

His battlefield-honed sense of danger was signaling to him to run.

A woman's family is always her source of strength. These women in the brothel may not have brothers, but they have Huo Xiaolong. He's just a bodyguard with a sword, and he can protect all his sisters by himself.
