I fulfilled the female supporting role's wish and I succeeded

Among the various discussions, there are those who envy, those who are jealous, and even those who gloat over other people's misfortunes.

At this time, Xiao Heng, a small figure, stood alone in the yard, looking up at the clouds floating across the sky, his eyes full of loneliness.

"Father, Mother, you're both gone, and now even Sister Wan Ning is leaving me..." He murmured to himself, his voice choking with sobs, "I don't know what will happen to her if she goes to Dai Country..."

He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his flesh, but he was completely unaware.

"I'm really useless. I can't help you at all..."

"No! I can't do this!" Xiao Heng suddenly seemed to have made up his mind, his eyes becoming firm. "I must study hard and practice martial arts well! In the future, I will personally bring Sister Wan Ning back from Daiguo!"

He took a deep breath, turned around and ran into the study. From today on, he would work harder, for Sister Wan Ning, and for himself! He wanted everyone to know that he, Xiao Heng, was not just a little crybaby! He wanted to become a man who stood tall and protected those he wanted to protect!

Su Luo came to Baixiang Pavilion. She knew that her return date was uncertain after she went to Dai Kingdom, so some things had to be arranged in advance.

Inside Baixiang Pavilion, the usual bustling scene of welcoming and seeing off guests was gone, replaced by a solemn atmosphere. Su Luo sat at the head of the table, looking at the crowd of people kneeling on the ground below, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

These people were all Baixiang Pavilion's employees, shopkeepers, and even regular customers. When they heard that the princess was about to travel to Dai State, they all gathered here spontaneously.

"Princess, take me with you! I, Old Li, may not have any other skills, but I am definitely good at running errands and doing odd jobs!" A burly man spoke first, his voice so loud that it made people's eardrums buzz.

"And me, and me! Princess, I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child. Although I am not a master, I can definitely protect you!" A thin young man also shouted hurriedly, fearing that he would be left behind.

"Princess, I can cook! I know a little bit about all kinds of cuisines! I guarantee that you can taste the flavors of your hometown in Daiguo!" A chubby cook also squeezed forward with a flattering smile on her face.

"Princess, I..."

"Princess, I..."

For a time, all kinds of voices rose and fell, vying to be the first, all wanting to follow Su Luo to Dai Kingdom. They knew that going to Dai Kingdom would be full of dangers, but they also knew that their current stable and prosperous life was all thanks to the princess in front of them.

Without Princess Wanning, they wouldn't be where they are today. They may have come from humble backgrounds, perhaps even experienced hardship, but the princess never despised them. Instead, she gave them the opportunity to build a good life on their own. They have no way to repay this kindness, only to express it through their actions.

Su Luo looked at them, moved, yet also troubled. How could she possibly take all these people with her? Not to mention the long journey, the cost of food and fodder alone would be a considerable expense. Furthermore, she was going to Dai Kingdom as a hostage, not to fight a war. Bringing so many people with her would only cause unnecessary trouble.

She coughed lightly and pressed her hand, signaling everyone to be quiet. "I understand everyone's feelings. However, I'm going to Dai Kingdom this time to be a hostage, and it would be inconvenient to bring too many people with me. Don't worry, I will make arrangements at Baixiang Pavilion, and your lives will not be affected in any way."

"But, princess..."

"No buts!" Su Luo interrupted them, his tone firm, "I appreciate your kindness, but you all have your own families and your own lives. You can't abandon everything just because of me. If you stay here and run Baixiang Pavilion well, that will be your greatest support to me!"

Everyone looked at each other. Although they were reluctant, they also knew that what the princess said made sense.

"Princess, you...you must take care of yourself!" An older man in the crowd choked and said with red eyes.

"Yes, Princess, you must be careful!"

"Princess, we are waiting for your return!"

The caring words, like the warm sunshine in winter, dispelled the chill in Su Luo's heart. She smiled slightly, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes. She knew that she was not fighting alone. Behind her, there were so many people supporting her and looking forward to her.

"Alright, everyone go back." Su Luo's voice was not loud, but it was filled with unquestionable authority. "The owner of Baixiang Pavilion will stay, and everyone else will do their job."

Some people in the crowd wanted to say something, but seeing Su Luo's determined look, they finally retreated silently. The shopkeeper of Baixiang Pavilion was a middle-aged man in his forties named Li Fu. He stepped forward quickly and bowed, saying, "Princess, what are your instructions?"

"Go find Xiao Minghan and his wife." Su Luo paused, then added, "Hurry."

"Yes!" Li Fu took the order and left in a hurry.

Su Luo looked at the empty hall and sighed softly. She knew that these people cared about her sincerely, but she also knew that she couldn't let her emotions get the better of her.

Not long after, Xiao Minghan and his wife arrived at Baixiang Pavilion. As soon as they entered, they fell to their knees and said in unison, "Princess, please take us with you to Dai Kingdom!"

Su Luo looked at the loyal couple before her, feeling deeply moved. She had long harbored this sentiment. Xiao Minghan and his wife were highly skilled in martial arts, meticulous in their thinking, and the people she trusted most. Her journey to Dai Kingdom was filled with dangers, and having them by her side gave her peace of mind.

"Get up," Su Luo said, "I was planning to take you with me."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Minghan and his wife were overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you, Princess!"

Su Luo waved his hand, signaling them to stand up, and then said: "In addition to you, I also plan to bring Cang Zhou and Xing Hen."

Su Luo looked at Li Fu again: "Shopkeeper Li, where is Wenchang?"

"Princess, Mr. Wen...he..." Li Fu hesitated, as if he had something to hide.

"What's wrong with him?" Su Luo frowned slightly.

"He went to 'Zuixianlou' to drink and have fun..." Li Fu's voice became smaller and smaller, and his head lowered.

Su Luo: "..."

She held her forehead and sighed helplessly. This Wenchang was good in every way except that he loved places of entertainment too much, which always gave her a headache.

"Forget it," Su Luo rubbed his brows, "Go find him and tell him I have something important to discuss. Let him handle all my affairs in Kyoto."

"Yes, Princess!" Li Fu replied quickly, feeling relieved. He was really afraid that the princess would get angry and fire him as the shopkeeper.
