"Whether Eunuch Feng speaks of it or not, it will not affect the Holy Emperor's view of Shu State or my Xiao Family."
Seeing Elder Master Xiao remain silent, she softened her tone and continued. "Forgive me, Grandfather. I misspoke.
"However, it is an undeniable fact that I have been hindered at every turn within the Dingyuan Army over the years. It is also a fact that the Holy Emperor and the court officials have remained entirely indifferent."
Hearing this, Elder Master Xiao looked at her with a slightly complex expression.
After a long silence, he retracted his gaze, relaxed his posture, and leaned back in his chair. A gratified smile returned to his face. "Jinghong, you have grown so much over these years."
Xiao Jinghong lowered her head slightly and said softly, "I just do not want to fail the spirits of my father and mother in heaven."
If Xiao Fengchun and Fu Wanqing hadn't died in battle, why would she have enlisted in the army to prop up the massive Xiao Family?
