Chapter 208 The reason for choosing the second lady

Author: Egret Ye Qilin

Listen to Yuxuan.

After Daishan left, Gui's mother sighed and said, "My aunt has endured it for so many years, why would she bet on the second young lady?"

Aunt Luan fiddled with the tea leaves in the porcelain jar and said slowly: "I can bear it, but how can Yi'er bear it? How can Your Highness bear it?"

Gui's mother said: "But can the second young lady really be entrusted to a child who grew up in the countryside? I watched the eldest young lady making decisive decisions, but instead..."

Aunt Luan said disdainfully: "She? She has changed a lot in the past six months, but she only looks at the backyard and never considers her own future. This kind of woman will only be like me in the future, and can only rely on men.

Only in order to survive.”

Gui's mother said: "But the second lady is just opening a pastry shop, what big thing can she do?"

Aunt Luan raised her eyes and glanced at Gui's mother and said, "She knows martial arts."

Mother Gui still doesn't understand, what can she do if she knows martial arts? Is it possible that she still goes into the palace to protect the concubine and the young highness?

Aunt Luan said slowly: "Do you remember Siyue?"

Gui's mother frowned, thinking that not many people in the Duke's mansion would remember the name Siyue.

Yang Siyue is the biological sister of the Duke of Guo, and she was also one of the few women in the capital who practiced martial arts.

When Yang Siyue was very young, she showed amazing military talents and even went to fight with the old Duke.

Later, when she was eighteen years old, she and her twin brother Yang Chengde died in battle.

Mother Gui didn't know what Aunt Luan was doing when she suddenly mentioned Yang Siyue, and she was surprised and said: "Miss Siyue died at a young age, and we have never met. I heard that she was a heroine and general who was not inferior to men."

Yang Siyue was five years younger than Yang Chengen. When she died, Aunt Luan was just a little baby. When Aunt Luan entered the Yang family, Yang Siyue had been dead for many years.

Aunt Luan chuckled leisurely, and said in disbelief in a clear voice, "She is not dead."

Gui's mother felt cold all over, "What?!"

When the coffins of the Yang twins were brought into the capital, many people felt sorry for them. Emperor Jiaji even issued a decree and gave them posthumous titles.

How could he not die?!

Aunt Luan raised her lips and said: "She claimed to be dead, but she was arranged by the Yang family to quietly take over a secret army. This army is said to be all women and is called the Kun Army. In recent years, the country has

The father-in-law has been trying to find a girl among the younger generation who can take over from Miss Siyue in charge of the Kun Army.

"Yang Huiwen, the son of Aunt Chen, was a coward by nature and could not take on big responsibilities. Yier also injured her meridians when she was young and was unable to practice martial arts. In those years, the Duke of Guo even thought about letting the Crown Prince's wife take over Kun's army. But

The Crown Prince's wife is not familiar with the world and is really not a good candidate.

"Now that I have the second young lady, the Duke's thoughts are full of life again."

Gui's mother felt chills running down her back.

The Yang family actually has an army of women!

Or is the long-dead Miss Siyue leading the charge?!

Aunt Luan looked in the direction of Cuizhuyuan and said: "With the support of the Duke, we have military power in our hands. Even if the second lady is not the legitimate daughter, it is not something that Chen can control at will!"

Mother Gui suddenly understood why Aunt Luan would choose the second young lady as her ally. She was not only interested in the second young lady’s identity as a legitimate daughter, nor in her future husband Lin Xiao, but in this female army called the Kun Army!

Aunt Luan stood up slowly and said, "Let's go, it's been fifteen years, and the fog should be lifted."

Mother Gui hurriedly called to the mute slave who was cleaning the yard, "Cuiping!"

The mute slave named Cuiping stopped moving and looked at Aunt Luan intently.

Aunt Luan walked up to her and said, "It's been fifteen years. It's time to avenge you."

Cuiping's hands were trembling, and the next moment she dropped the broom, with excitement and hatred in her eyes, she clenched her fists and followed Aunt Luan out of Tingyuxuan.

Outside Tingyuxuan, a steward was greeting his servants to clean up the duckweed on the lake. When he saw Aunt Luan and his party coming, he immediately ran over and saluted slightly: "Aunt Luan, the Duke of the country said that you are not in good health, so you should stay here."

It’s better to recuperate in the yard.”

In the past few years, Mrs. Chen has been using this excuse to confine Aunt Luan. Aunt Luan has always been very obedient and stayed in Tingyuxuan, and she rarely went out. When she occasionally went out to walk around, she would be persuaded to go back by people she saw.

But today, Aunt Luan's attitude was very tough. She glanced at the steward and said calmly: "The Duke called me to the study to talk about the concubine."

The steward was Chen's confidant, but he did not dare to disobey the Duke. After hearing this, he still let him go.

Aunt Luan took the person to the front yard, and Mrs. Chen knew about it.

Mrs. Chen frowned. When she went to the study just now, the Duke was not there. Could it be that he is back now?

Grandma Wang asked: "Should we go?"

But Mrs. Chen was tired from walking and said: "Pass the bamboo sedan chair."

A quarter of an hour later, Mrs. Chen sat in a bamboo sedan and headed towards the front yard.

…

trial room.

Aunt Miao was whipped three times, and her whole body was shaking with pain. Her already weak body was afraid that she would die if she was whipped a few more times.

Steward Mu said slowly: "Alternate beatings, there will always be one who can't stand it."

This rhythm of hitting, stopping, and hitting again is often more effective than hitting continuously.

Because the tortured person will look forward to the moment of rest, and will even fear the next time he is beaten.

Sure enough, after two or three turns, the woman couldn't hold on any longer. When the guard raised the whip and was about to hit her, he couldn't help shouting: "What on earth do you want to know?"

Manager Mu calmly ordered: "No need to stop, just hit."

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

After three more whips, the woman collapsed and shouted: "You don't even ask, what did I say!"

The guard raised his whip and went to greet Aunt Miao.

Aunt Miao was already a little dizzy. After three whips, she fainted.

Steward Mu asked the guards to splash cold water on him without mercy. Then he looked at the woman and said, "You know very well what we want to ask. There is no need to delay it with words."

The woman saw the guard approaching again with a whip in hand. She tried her best to escape, but she was tied tightly and there was no way to escape.

When the guard raised the whip again, she shouted: "I say! I am the child's mother!"

When Aunt Miao, who had just woken up, heard this, she immediately woke up and shouted: "Shut up!"

Mother Tong looked at Aunt Miao and said, "She is my cousin..."

Aunt Miao narrowed her eyes and said loudly: "You are crazy! Think of your relatives!"

Mother Tong stiffened and suddenly fell silent again.

Steward Mu ordered the whip to continue.

A guard came in and said a few words to Yang Chengen, who frowned, got up and went out.

Aunt Luan bypassed He Sanniang who was sitting in the yard eating sugar cane, entered the study, and waited for Yang Chengen to come out of the secret room in the back room.

Yang Chengen always had a good temper towards this gentle aunt.

"Come to the study to see me. Is there something urgent?"

Women in the backyard rarely come to the front yard, let alone the study area.

It's not that Yang Chengen's rules are big, nor that the Yang family's rules are big, but Chen's requirements.
