Chapter 116 Then Stay
Lin Qingwan also expressed her opinion.
"I won't leave either. How can we leave you alone to fight in the Imperial City?"
Xiao Fuguang reached out and took Lin Qingwan's hand.
"Sister-in-law, I know you're good to me and want to protect me, but we have to consider the overall situation. Qi'an is the only male in the Xiao family. In the eyes of the enemy, he is the Xiao family's weak spot. Only when you are safe can I let go and fight Prince Rong to the end."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingwan looked at Xiao Fuguang with confusion in her eyes.
"But………"
Xiao Fuguang patted her hands.
"No buts, sister-in-law, the only male in the Xiao family is now in your care. Please."
Thinking about how Qi'an was poisoned, Xiao Fuguang was unconscious for a day and a night in order to save others, and now he still has injuries on his hands. Perhaps if Qi'an is not in the imperial city, Fuguang will be able to better compete with Prince Rong in wits and courage. Lin Qingwan nodded.
"Okay, I'll take good care of Qi'an."
Only then did Xiao Fuguang turn his gaze towards Xiao Fusu.
"Fushu, you go too."
"You're almost coming of age. If you go to the East Territory and find someone you like..."
Xiao Fushu looked at Xiao Fuguang with a firm gaze.
"Sister, I won't leave."
"Qian is being taken care of by my sister-in-law and grandfather, so I want to stay with you."
Why is this child becoming more and more stubborn now? Xiao Fuguang said helplessly.
"Fushu, you have to be good. Sister will come to see you if she has time."
Xiao Fushu did not respond to Xiao Fuguang's words, but spoke to Lin Qingwan and Hua Muxi.
"Grandfather, sister-in-law, please go and keep Qi'an company. I'm afraid Qi'an misses you."
Hua Muxi looked at Xiao Fushu and spoke.
"Fushu, your sister is right, come with us!"
Lin Qingwan also spoke.
"Yes, Fushu, you should come with us. Your sister is smart and knows the mystical arts. The regent will protect her, so she can take care of herself."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fushu stood up and helped Lin Qingwan up from the chair.
"Oh, sister-in-law, Qi'an is probably looking for you, you should go back quickly."
Hua Muxi spoke upon seeing this.
"Well, Grandpa is old, you can do whatever you want."
Wait for Lin Qingwan and Hua Muxi to leave.
Xiao Fushu then turned around and sat next to Xiao Fuguang, looking at Xiao Fuguang with a different light in his eyes.
"Sister, I'm not a child anymore."
Xiao Fuguang reached out and touched her hair, which became messy.
"But in my sister's eyes, you are the younger sister who needs protection."
Xiao Fushu retorted.
"But I also want to protect my sister."
Reach out and hold Xiao Fuguang's hand.
"Sister, mother is not just your mother. When Fushu grows up, he can lend a hand to you."
"Fushu knows he's not as smart as his sister, but he will take good control of the Fifth Prince's Mansion so that his sister won't have to worry about the Fifth Prince."
Only then did Xiao Fuguang begin to look at Xiao Fusu, frowning slightly. His third sister seemed to have changed.
"Fushu!"
Xiao Fushu continued to speak.
"Sister, Prince Rong has the Yao family behind him, and countless people in the court will obey his orders. Although the Crown Prince is kind, his methods are ultimately inferior to Prince Rong's. Sister has been betting on the Fifth Prince for a few days. Don't you think the Fifth Prince needs someone of his own by his side?"
It is indeed necessary to arrange someone to be by the side of the fifth prince. Xiao Fuguang looked at Xiao Fusu.
"Your suggestion is good, but that person can't be you. I won't sacrifice my sister's happiness to pave the way for myself."
After hearing this, Xiao Fushu looked at Xiao Fuguang with a determined look.
"Sister, this isn't paving the way for you. This is paving the way for revenge. Let's avenge our mother together."
After saying that, he held Xiao Fuguang's hand tightly.
Xiao Fuguang pulled his hand back.
"no."
"Fushu, marriage is not a joke. It's your whole life."
"You and your grandfather are going to the East Territory. This matter is non-negotiable."
After saying that, he stood up and prepared to go back to his room.
Xiao Fushu reached out and grabbed her wrist.
"But sister, haven't you also sacrificed your whole life for it?"
"If you can do it, why can't I?"
This was the first time that his always obedient third sister spoke to him so harshly, and Xiao Fuguang spoke helplessly.
"Fushu, sister just wants you to be carefree..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fushu looked into Xiao Fuguang's eyes.
"Sister, my mother's murderer is high up in power, enjoying all the glory and wealth. How can I live without worries?"
"Even though you didn't say it, I know everything. You've been planning every step of the way to avenge our mother. Sister, Fushu doesn't want to be a canary in a cage, nor does he want to hide under your wings his whole life. Fushu just wants to stand by your side and fight alongside you."
Xiao Fuguang originally wanted to persuade her, but when he met the determined look in her eyes, Xiao Fuguang suddenly spoke.
"Grandfather suddenly came to the Imperial City. Is it related to you?"
Xiao Fushu lowered his head.
"Yes, I wrote to my grandfather when my mother passed away."
Xiao Fuguang looked at Xiao Fusu for a moment.
"Our Fushu has grown up."
Xiao Fushu reached out and held her hand.
"Sister, let me stay. I can help you. If you think the Crown Prince can fight Prince Rong, then I will marry him. If you think the Fifth Prince is more promising, then I will marry him."
Xiao Fuguang felt a pain in his heart.
"Fushu, you are my sister, not an object."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fushu looked at Xiao Fuguang and spoke.
"But sister, it doesn't matter who you marry, right?"
"Even in a carefully chosen marriage, doesn't there still have to be problems?"
"Then why don't I marry someone who can support and help me?"
"Back then, we chose the Gu family and the Wang family over and over again, but you know what the result was, sister."
"Men can use women as tools to bear children and take care of the household chores, so why can't we use marriage as a stepping stone to gain the rights we want?"
When Xiao Fuguang heard this, a hint of shock flashed in his eyes. His third sister was completely different in this life than in the previous one.
"Well, if you want to stay, then stay."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fushu finally felt relieved and hugged Xiao Fuguang.
"Sister, you are so kind."
"Don't worry, I will definitely do my best."
In the palace.
Fengyi Palace.
Aina was holding a cup of tea, and the obedient look in her eyes was no longer there.
"Mother, your role as Queen is a bit difficult to describe. Imperial Concubine Yao has taken away your power, and now you can't even invite the Regent Princess into the palace. If the Crown Prince's Gu is not resolved, I'm afraid the Empress position in Xuanyuan will have to be replaced."
