The Cold-Faced God of War's Favored Concubine Is Not to Be Tried

When Feng Yanan heard Aunt Hu mention that she was very similar to her mother when she was young, she couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion. She remembered that the original owner had never seen her mother since she was a child, so her impression of her mother had always remained in those vague and distant stories. Now, she learned from Aunt Hu that she was similar to her mother when she was young, and she felt both novel and expectant.

So, she gently took Madam Hu's hand, and her voice revealed a rare tenderness and earnestness: "Madam, can you tell me more about my mother? I really want to know what she looked like when she was young, what kind of person she was!"

Seeing the desire and curiosity in Feng Yanan's eyes, Aunt Hu couldn't help but feel a warm current in her heart. She gently patted the back of Feng Yanan's hand. In her old but charming voice, she described Yunxiang's character affectionately.

"Ms. Yunxiang is a woman who is as gentle as water and as tough as steel. Her wisdom and courage are always hidden in her gentle smile and calm demeanor, and are not easily noticed. Before the Yun family encountered misfortune, although she was the daughter of the family, she was never arrogant. Instead, she was approachable and treated everyone in the family with kindness."

“She is calm and composed, and can always deal with all kinds of complicated situations calmly. Whether in decision-making on family affairs or in daily life, she can use her wisdom and experience to resolve problems and keep everything in order. She knows that people’s hearts are unpredictable, so she always maintains a proper distance when interacting with others, neither being too enthusiastic nor being indifferent.”

"Miss Yunxiang's kindness and compassion are also her characteristics in dealing with people. She often helps those in need, whether they are servants in the family or ordinary people in the town, she treats them equally and gives them love and help. Her good deeds have won the respect and love of everyone. But she never leaves her name behind."

"After the Yun family encountered misfortune, Miss Yunxiang showed her strength and perseverance. Not only did she successfully escape the court's pursuit, but she also started a new life in an unfamiliar place. She used her own hands to support herself and the old slave, and never bowed to fate."

Aunt Hu's story gave Feng Yanan a deeper understanding of her mother Yunxiang, but she also had many doubts.

She interrupted Madam Hu and asked, "Madam, how come I have never heard of a Yun family in the capital?"

Madam Hu looked into the distance, thinking about something far away. She never wanted to talk about it. But she felt that the young lady should know everything about Yunxiang. After all, she was her mother. She sat down next to Feng Yanan and began to tell the story of the Yun family in detail.

"The Yun family is a hidden family with a deep heritage. They hold a powerful force that is enough to shake the entire dynasty. The members of the Yun family are spread all over the country. Some of them hide their identities, while others hold important positions in the court. The Yun family has always adhered to the principle of not arguing with the secular world, but their existence has always made some powerful officials feel uneasy."

"During the reign of the previous emperor, he gradually realized the strength and threat of the Yun family. He was worried that his brothers would use the power of the Yun family to threaten his throne, so he decided to launch a strong offensive against the Yun family. He sent out a large number of spies and assassins, using all means to find out the secrets of the Yun family and assassinate the core members of the Yun family."

"Although the Yun family was powerful, it was powerless in the face of the imperial court's conspiracy. In the bloody assassinations and fights, members of the Yun family suffered misfortunes one after another. The head of the Yun family, Yun Xiang's father, was unfortunately killed in a fire attack. Many of the Yun family's collections of books and treasures were also reduced to ashes in the fire."

"In this catastrophe, Yunxiang's mother, who was also a tough and wise woman, knew the danger her family was facing. In order to protect young Yunxiang, she decided to let Madam Hu take Yunxiang away through a secret passage.

It was a stormy night. Yunxiang's mother used her body as a cover to let Aunt Hu take Yunxiang, who had just turned eight, through the secret passage. The secret passage was narrow and dark, but Aunt Hu, who was familiar with the road, carefully led Yunxiang forward. Under the cover of her mother, Yunxiang and Aunt Hu successfully escaped.

However, after escaping, Yunxiang lost her voice due to excessive shock. Her face was pale, and her eyes were full of fear and helplessness. Aunt Hu hugged her in her arms and comforted her softly. They temporarily settled down in an abandoned house, and Aunt Hu tried her best to make Yunxiang forget those horrible memories.

However, as time went by, Yunxiang learned about her family's misfortune from the villagers' gossip. Her father, mother, and the entire family all died. This news was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Yunxiang, and she fell ill and could not get up.
