The general's eldest daughter has a spatial ability

"Brother, did you hear what the Prince of Pingnan said?"

"Yes, elder brother, I heard that. His Highness Prince Ping'an has promised that we can choose our own marriage!"

Nangong Chen said in a low voice, "Brother, do you think that Prince Pingnan only looks at us differently because of Yun'er?"

Xiao Jinzhu: "What do you think? The Xiao family has a distinguished lineage and holds considerable military power. In the eyes of some people, they have long been a thorn in their side. Fortunately, His Majesty is wise and powerful, unlike those emperors who favor concubines, which is why the Xiao family is where it is today. However, I must say that it is truly surprising that my third brother has such a scheming mind!"

"So you knew about the relationship between Third Brother and Prince Pingnan all along, brother! When did you find out?" Xiao Jinchen asked in return.

"The day after my third brother was arrested while inquiring at the Prince of Pingnan's residence!"

Xiao Jinchen: I thought I was the first to know besides my father and the others, but I didn't expect my eldest brother to know all along. He was probably the first in the whole family to know. My eldest brother kept it a secret for too long.

Xiao Jinzhu seemed to know what Xiao Jinchen was thinking: "As the heir of the Duke of Huguo's mansion, with my father and second uncle guarding the border, I, as the eldest grandson of the family, have the obligation to be filial to my parents, grandparents, and take care of my younger brother."

After hearing his elder brother's words, Xiao Jinchen finally understood the hardships his brother had endured over the years, and said with emotion, "Brother, you have worked hard all these years."

Xiao Jinzhu chuckled: "Jinhua has become more and more sensible in the past few years. In fact, I have already handed over the management of the Duke of Huguo's mansion to Jinhua, so I have been able to accompany the army for the past two years. This is what I should do as the eldest brother."

You and Jinhua are my cousins, but we have lived together all these years and grown up together. We are no different from biological brothers. In my eyes, you are both my younger brothers.

Moreover, Jinhua and I share the same goal: to ensure the Xiao family prospers and thrives, so that even in the event of a change of dynasty, they can emerge unscathed and escape unscathed!

"What you say is absolutely right, elder brother. But now that my cousin has joined the Xiao family, we will have an even greater chance of winning in the future."

"I hope so, but you and Jinhua must remember that our Xiao family stands tall and upright. For generations, men have taken it upon themselves not only to guard the borders and protect the common people, but also to safeguard their families!"

"Yes, big brother, I remember. I will protect my younger brother and cousins ​​just like you do."

Xiao Jinzhu nodded, and the two fell silent as they headed towards the military camp.

Inside the Holy Palace, Murong Xing, accompanied by his son Chu Yu, arrived at Murong Jing's courtyard in a carriage without any hindrance. The carriage stopped in the courtyard. Chu Yu got out of the carriage first, then turned around, lifted the curtain, and helped Murong Xing out of the carriage.

As soon as Murong Xing stepped off the carriage, a familiar voice called out in his ear: "Xing'er! Yu'er!"

Murong Xin looked up and saw the hall door open, and three people walked out. The one in the lead was none other than Chu Huainan, the Crown Prince of Southern Xinjiang, along with Palace Master Murong Jing and Holy Son Mu Yunfei.

Murong Xing and Chu Yu quickly stepped forward, and Chu Huainan took a few steps forward and hugged them both tightly: "Xing'er, Yu'er, you're finally back safe and sound. I can finally go all out without worry."

Murong Xing nodded, tears glistening in her eyes: "No matter what choice Chu Huainan makes, Yu'er and I will support you. Our family will always be together, and you can never get rid of me."

Chu Huainan choked up, "Xing'er, you finally recognized Yu'er. You should stay in the Holy Palace with Yu'er for now. It will be good for you to keep your father-in-law and brothers company. After I deal with those people outside, I will come to take you home."

Upon hearing Chu Huainan's words, Murong Xing struggled to pull away from his embrace: "Chu Huainan, do you even consider me your wife? Or do you also think that husband and wife are like birds in the same forest, flying away separately when disaster strikes?"

Do you think there's any point in me living if something happens to you? For so many years, Yu'er and I, mother and son, have not been able to recognize each other, and my husband and I have not been able to be together openly. Yu'er is clearly our legitimate son, but he can only be raised in the mansion as an adopted son.

Even if Yu'er's identity is exposed now, she can only be rumored to be an illegitimate child, all thanks to your so-called father. This is an irreconcilable enmity, or do you want to let that so-called father go, which is why you don't want us involved?

"No, no, Xing'er, let me explain. Ever since Yu'er was born, I have been thinking about how to reunite our family and enjoy the life that a family should have openly and honestly, even if it means I don't become the crown prince."

But I know that even if I were willing to give up my status as the crown prince, it wouldn't necessarily bring us a family reunion. And once I give up my status as the crown prince, what awaits my family might be death without a burial place!

So for the past few years, I have always appeared to be neither competitive nor ambitious, neither making any achievements nor committing any mistakes, all in order to one day rise to power and have a legitimate status.

I have almost finished planning. I am just waiting for the arrival of the Prince of Pingnan and the Princess of Huainan from Beili. After we meet, we will arrange the next move. We must strike hard and make sure those people never have a chance to recover.

"But I can't let you and Yu'er take that risk. It's time for things to change in Southern Xinjiang. Rather than letting that muddle-headed, incompetent old lecher rule Southern Xinjiang, it's better to firmly grasp this power in our own hands."

Upon hearing Chu Huainan's words, Murong Xing angrily retorted, "Why is it that you alone decide everything concerning our family of three? Have you even asked for my and Yu'er's opinions?"

"Xing'er..." Seeing Murong Xing so excited, Chu Huainan stepped forward to take Murong Xing's hand, but Murong Xing shook him off.

Murong Xing turned around, took Chu Yu's hand, stepped past Chu Huainan, and knelt down in front of Murong Jing: "Your unfilial daughter Murong Xing greets Father and Brother!"

"Chu Yu greets her maternal grandfather and uncle!"

Murong Jing and Mu Yunfei stepped forward and helped the mother and son up.

Murong Jing looked at the mother and son in front of her. They were completely different from the aloof and unapproachable person that Liu Xing had seen before. At this moment, she was looking at her and Yu'er with a loving expression: "You and your son have suffered all these years. It's good that you're back. No one in the Holy Palace can bully you now. The palace rules have also been revised. You and your son can stay in the Holy Palace in peace."

Why care about the lives of those insignificant people? Since they are willing to share the good times and bear the bad times themselves, let them bear it themselves! If they survive the ordeal, let them enjoy the good fortune on their own.

"If something unfortunate happens to you, it has nothing to do with you. At worst, your father will find you someone better. Even if you don't find someone you like, your father and brother can ensure that you and Yu'er will have enough to eat and wear for the rest of your lives."

Mu Yunfei also smiled and said, "Yes, sister, since someone has never thought of treating you and Yu'er as family, and doesn't respect me, his brother-in-law, or my father, his father-in-law, and only thinks about solving problems on his own, it's better to be rid of such a domineering man. I'll find you a better one another day!"
