FSC [QT] Chapter 129.3

In the eyes of most people, a woman’s life is complete only after she gets married and has children.

Even if she and her husband can leave her daughter with a fortune to live a worry-free life, it cannot compare to the happiness of having children around them and sharing the joy of family life.

Mrs. Fan was extremely worried. She was wondering that if her daughter really had trouble getting married in the future, she could adopt a child from the clan under her daughter’s name, at least so that she would not die without even a descendant to worship her.

These were far-reaching thoughts. If possible, Mrs. Fan still hoped that her daughter could find a husband of her dreams.

“What did you say!”

Ling Yaodong looked at his adopted daughter kneeling in front of him with a somewhat obscure expression.

“This daughter wants to marry the Fifth Prince.”

Ling Zhuo’s eyes were firm, yet also a little bitter.

In the past few years, she had a lot of contact with the Fifth Prince and understood how far-sighted the man who seemed mediocre on the surface was.

Compared with several princes who were in the limelight, Ling Zhuo believed that the Fifth Prince could succeed.

Moreover, now that the Fifth Prince had been given the title, Ling Zhuo realized that the situation of the Li Dynasty was about to undergo earth-shaking changes.

She wanted to take a gamble.

If she wins, she will be the future empress of the Li Dynasty, and at least, she can protect the family for decades.

If she loses, she is just the adopted daughter of the Marquis’s Mansion. When the time comes, she will sever ties with the Marquis’s Mansion and will never implicate the Marquis’s Mansion.

“Your mother and I have never thought of relying on our daughter to fight for anything.”

Ling Yaodong was a little dumbfounded.

Over the years, he had indeed neglected his adopted daughter, but he never thought that his adopted daughter would have such ambitions. It was never easy to be a woman in the royal family.

At this time, Ling Yaodong had already listened to his adopted daughter’s analysis of the Fifth Prince. He also realized that he seemed to have misjudged the cowardly-looking man.

But he still didn’t think of marrying his daughter to the Fifth Prince who seemed to have the appearance of a hidden dragon.

“My family has raised me for sixteen years. Everything I have is given by my parents.”

Ling Zhuo bowed down and was reluctant to get up.

Whether the Marquis of Changping Mansion was willing or not, in this current situation, they were inevitably involved in the vortex of this fight for the throne.

She wanted to do something for her parents. Moreover, she had nothing to lose. If the Fifth Prince could achieve great things, she would be the most honorable empress in the world.

How many women dreamed of this position? What did she lose?

“Let me think about it.”

Ling Yaodong was silent for a moment.

As the head of the family, he had to consider the overall situation above emotions.

***

Ling Zhuo came out of Ling Yaodong’s study, and Ah Wu came out of Mrs. Fan’s yard. The two sisters bumped into each other in the corridor.

“I really envy you.”

Five years had passed, and Ling Zhuo and Ah Wu were still not very close. They spent very little time together in private.

After passing by Ah Wu, Ling Zhuo whispered this sentence.

She really envied her. Since she came back, everything has changed.

Her parents had become Ah Wu’s parents. Although her parents still loved her, Ling Zhuo had lost the courage to be as arrogant and willful as before.

So, she chose to marry the Fifth Prince.

Since she had taken advantage of the Marquis’s Mansion for so many years, she should do something for the Marquis’s Mansion.

The Fifth Prince may not be a good man, but he is rational and will not be fooled by women easily. He is ambitious. Women are always under power.

As long as she performs her duties and does not violate the bottom line of the Fifth Prince, marrying such a deep mind and intelligent man may be a good choice.

Ling Zhuo never showed fragile emotions easily. Ah Wu stopped and turned around to look at Ling Zhuo’s back.

The girl’s figure was tall and slender. The distance of each step seemed to have been carefully measured with a ruler, light and full of power.

Ah Wu looked at Ling Zhuo’s back as she left, and felt as if she saw a female soldier preparing to go to the battlefield, strong and proud.

She realized that Ling Zhuo still walked on the same path in her memory.
