Threads Of Destiny(Eastern Fantasy, Sequel to Forge of Destiny)

Voted best in category in the Users' Choice awards.
Seems awfully selfish to me to keep them close at hand when they would be safer elsewhere. I thought we learned better from Zeqing.
[X] Send Mother, Biyu and the rest of the household away until things settled down. It might cost her, but she could settle her family in a barony a little further north, away from incursions. (-3 Green Stones, small political effort required, safe family, potential emotional conflict?)

Seems awfully more selfish to force Qingge to leave her daughter for months and years just for "safety" that she blatantly doesn't want
 
[X] Drop the thought, even with this incursion, they had been safe. Increase the security of the house, but let her family stay here. (-2 Green Stones, family remains in unsafe area)

This is good, conflict brings maturity probably

Hey now. How could you possibly forget the time she called Liling an arrogant tart?
Maybe I'm misremembering but I think she only started getting really vitriolic after that time Liling skewered us.

Since this is not a write in vote, making leaving the choice up to everyone in the household personally impossible:

Ah, LanLan. Getting exactly what you wanted... in the way you didn't want.

As far as a more defensive element to learn durability from... Wood or Mountain, I think, as Metal has proven to be untenable. Wood fuels Fire, too, which may come into play.

I still say that Wood would be a suitably ambitiously aligned element to coordinate with Xiulan's inclinations, while providing some desperately needed hardiness.
You can't put wood on fire though, can you? CAN YOU?

Can I get an F in chat for Fan Yu, who is about to get kicked into the dirt by the universe once again?

Eh, he's still a from a noble clan with all the benefits that entail. He was such a little shit to Ling Qi at the beginning of the quest because she was a commoner and not attractive to his taste that I can't bring myself to care.

Also, I'm not sure he changed his attitude toward those below him, seems he just cower in front of Ling Qi because she's above him now.
And Lanlan deserves better.
