Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 206 Third Aunt

Sitting to the side, Tuoba Feiyuan's eyes turned red with anger.

Tuoba Mingyue was an inconspicuous figure in the desert in the past.

Her mother was just a maidservant whom her father favored after drinking. Unexpectedly, she became pregnant and gave birth to her. Although she was also Tuoba Hu's daughter, she was considered an illegitimate daughter by the noble ladies of the capital.

As a concubine's daughter, she was completely ignored.

Tuoba Feiyuan never expected that she had secretly learned so many skills.

This woman is even more cunning and treacherous than she imagined!

Tuoba Mingyue's gaze swept over, and Tuoba Feiyuan, who had been looking angry, quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at her, but the hatred in his eyes deepened.

Tuoba Mingyue ignored her, turned around, and glanced at Chu Yueli indifferently.

The latter was also drinking tea, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, lost in thought.

She's nothing but a foolish vase.

Tuoba Mingyue dismounted from her horse and returned to Lu Fengjin's side without making a sound.

The drill is still ongoing.

After the princes and nobles passed by one after another, there was another member of the royal family.

Then, finally, it was the Duke's mansion's turn.

As soon as the people from the Duke's mansion came out, a muffled chuckle rippled through the crowd.

Women's Corps!

This is really ridiculous.

Chu Xiaohe actually brought four women to participate in the autumn hunting competition. Among them, apart from Madam Ning, who had some fame, two of the other three were completely unknown. The last one, Miss Li, was quite famous, but wasn't that because of her talent and beauty?

"Do you think she'll fall off her horse later?"

"It would be such a pity if someone with such a beautiful face were to fall and get hurt."

"It's alright. There are so many men in the venue, someone will surely come to the rescue."

"Who would dare? Prince Jin is here. Aren't you afraid of incurring his wrath?"

"That's true. Who would dare touch a girl he doesn't want?"

For a man, dignity is very important. He may abandon that girl, but she was once his woman, and no one is allowed to touch her.

When Chu Xiaohe came out, he could clearly feel the malicious and even mocking gazes of everyone around him. He turned around, glanced at the group, and cupped his hands in apology: "I'm sorry to have dragged you all into this."

Madam Ning laughed and said, "People can say whatever they want, you can't control them. Since you can't control them, why bother?"

Chu Xiaohe nodded and leaped onto his horse.

Suddenly, someone questioned, "We know Madam Ning and Madam Miao, but who is this person behind them?"

The speaker was Consort Rui.

Consort Rui narrowed her eyes and smiled, "General Chu, this wouldn't happen to be your..."

“It’s my third aunt.” Chu Yueli met Consort Rui’s gaze and smiled, “She is my third uncle’s wife, Huo Qing, whom he married on the battlefield when he was still alive.”

Huo Qing's eyes welled up, and tears almost rolled down her cheeks.

She really did bow to heaven and earth with Sanlang. It was when they went to the battlefield hand in hand, when the battle was dangerous and they didn't know if they would survive the next day. It was witnessed by Ali's father, her uncle, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.

After that brush with death, Sanlang said that he would report everything to the Duke when he returned to the capital.

Unexpectedly, after World War I, another battle was launched.

She truly regretted that because she was injured that day, Sanlang ordered someone to send her back to rest, and she didn't have the chance to go to the battlefield with Sanlang.

Little did they know that it would be their last time together, and from that moment on, they were separated forever.

She went to the Duke's mansion, but the Duke refused to acknowledge her and kicked her out several times.

The Duke cared most about his reputation, and in his eyes, his relationship with Sanlang was an illicit affair.

Unexpectedly, today, Ali actually called her Third Aunt!

Huo Qing felt that even if she died at this moment, it would be worth it.
