Resisting the Wind and Splendor

"I know there will be many difficulties, but if my elder brother and the King of Mo are in Nanmeng..." Chu Yueli didn't finish her sentence, she didn't dare to say it.

Although she is not superstitious, there are some things she says that hurt her heart.

Nangong Ji understood: "It's better not to say anything unlucky, I know."

Chu Yueli nodded before saying, "If it really comes to that, no one can help me except ourselves. Nangong, take Second Aunt to Qinyang for me. Second Aunt knows what to do."

"But after the Second Master passed away, Madam Miao has always lived a secluded life, detached from worldly affairs. Is she really willing to do this?"

“She’ll definitely be willing; she can’t wait to go to Nanmeng with her eldest brother.” Second Aunt was the most composed of all the aunts.

But Chu Yueli knew that she was anxious, very anxious, but she just didn't say it.

Not only did they not say anything, they also went to help comfort their third aunt.

Besides Chu Yueli, who else could see the bitterness in Miao Yucui's heart?

"Then, could you please arrange for me to meet with Madam Miao first?"

So when Zisu returned, the table was empty; everyone had left.

Zisu didn't say anything, and didn't even go to them. She sat down and continued eating.

Chu Yueli and Nangong Ji were both highly skilled in light-footed techniques, and after a short while, they appeared in Miao Yucui's house.

Upon seeing Nangong Ji, Miao Yucui's heart sank: "Has something happened to Xiao He? General Nangong, why are you..."

"No, my brother is fine. He and the Chu family army are still on their way to Nanmeng." Chu Yueli quickly reassured him, "My brother left Nangong behind to cooperate with our operation."

"Cooperate with us?" But Miao Yucui didn't know what cooperation was needed. They were doing well in the capital, but Xiao He was going to Southern Mongolia and left his most powerful vanguard general behind. What was he thinking?

Chu Yueli briefly explained Chu Xiaohe's thoughts to her. Although Miao Yucui became even more anxious after hearing it, she also knew that they really had to do something at this moment.

"Second Aunt, you used to follow Second Uncle around, so you have more experience on the battlefield than anyone else. There are some things I need your help with, so you can do them with Nangong."

Miao Yucui glanced outside: "The Ninth Prince isn't with you? So, even the Ninth Prince and Consort Yu can't know about this, is that right?"

"Yes!" Chu Yueli nodded solemnly.

Miao Yucui and Nangong Ji were slightly taken aback, but they immediately understood.

The Ninth Prince is a man of strong emotions. He may not be on Consort Yu's side, but he may not always think from the perspective of Prince Mo. He will have his own ideas.

Now it is Chu Yueli, his fourth sister-in-law, who has to do things, which makes their relationship even more distant than that between him and the King of Mo.

Although he respects and loves the King of Mo, he fears he cannot reciprocate with the same respect and love for his fourth sister-in-law.

Moreover, he might not even have much affection for his fourth sister-in-law.

At this point, it is highly likely that the Ninth Prince will choose to side with Consort Yu.

Behind Consort Yu is the Qin family.

Miao Yucui looked at Chu Yueli and solemnly instructed, "I am going to Qinyang with General Nangong. I don't know when we will be able to reunite with everyone. During this time, A-Li, you also need to keep an eye on Li'er. She is a new bride, and Xiao He went on a distant expedition right after the wedding. I am afraid that she will have all sorts of worries if she is alone at home."

Chu Yueli nodded and said, "Second Aunt, please rest assured, I will have Zisu go back from time to time to give my sister-in-law some pointers so that she can quickly grasp all the management matters of the Duke's Mansion."
