Chapter 28 Borrowing a Knife to Murder, Fearing No Chaos (Part 1)

The camp is nearly two hundred miles away from the county capital.

Huan Yu and Huan Ji set off after lunch, and it took them two hours to reach the Duke's Mansion.

Early in the morning, Xiao Bi went to greet the old lady as usual.

There hasn't been anything important happening in the house recently, so the women sat around and chatted for a while before going their separate ways.

Mrs. Yao has now become a regular guest of Quanquan Garden, and today she came back with Xiao Bi.

"Auntie, sit down quickly." Xiao Bi pulled Yao into the main room very affectionately.

The maids had already formed a habit and retired after serving hot tea and snacks.

Mrs. Yao smiled brightly and said, "Speaking of which, the princess and Brother Yu are still newly married, and so is your grandfather. It's such a big deal that they have to drag their brothers to the military camp."

Xiao Pei pouted and said: "Auntie is making fun of me again. So what if I'm newlywed? There's not much fun in being together all day long..."

"That's not what I said. Auntie told you..."

Yao came close to Xiao Pei's ear and whispered for a long time.

Xiao Bi couldn't help but laugh.

Yao is already in her thirties, but she still regards herself as a close friend. Even her habit of whispering is the same as that of Hua Xiaohan.

Yao's old face turned red from her smile.

The princess is truly extraordinary!

When women who have a good relationship get together, they will inevitably talk about the things between husband and wife.

Many women at her age still blush after hearing these things, let alone talk about them.

But this noble princess has such a thick skin at such a young age. It's really hard to hear a hundred times but see it once.

Xiao Bi didn't want to talk about this with her. Seeing that the atmosphere was so harmonious, she took the opportunity to hold Yao's hand and said, "No one has ever taught me these things. It shows that my eldest aunt treats me sincerely."

Mrs. Yao felt hot in her heart and sighed: "It's no wonder that the princess thinks so. Who can speak out about such a thing except my own mother?

Although the Queen has appointed a nanny to teach the princess, she must take into account each other's status, so it is difficult to go into too much detail."

Xiao Bi sighed: "If Brother Huan's biological mother was still here, I wouldn't be in such a difficult situation."

"Princess, please don't be sad..."

Xiao Bi smiled bitterly: "To be honest with my eldest aunt, next month is my mother-in-law's memorial day. I originally planned to build a land and water dojo, but Brother Huan is not very interested."

Yao said in a gentle voice, "Brother Yu and the princess have similar destinies, but they are also different.

Although the princess also has a stepmother, she has no title and no real power. She is not even close to the princess, so she has basically no influence on you.

Brother Yu's life was much more miserable.

He and Brother Ji were one year old, and the old lady originally planned to marry the prince again.

After all, he is the eldest son of the Duke's mansion and will inherit the Duke's mansion in the future. How could he not be accompanied by the Crown Prince's wife?

But the Duke rejected the old lady's kindness, saying that it would be better to straighten the Qiao family than to marry another."

Xiao Bi raised her eyebrows: "The Huan family is a noble family, so we shouldn't have such rules. Why..."

Yao sneered: "Rules can only restrain those who follow the rules, and are of no use to those who don't.

It’s not that my eldest aunt likes to speak ill of people. You, my mother-in-law, seem to be stoic, but in fact you are very clever!

I don’t know how she coaxed the Duke to actually refuse the old lady’s kindness and really helped Mrs. Qiao straighten her head.

Otherwise, based on her background, being a noble concubine would be an exaltation of her!"

Xiao Bi secretly thought, you are clearly the one with the clever methods!

Mr. Yao continued: "I have pity on my second younger brother and sister. They are like immortals, but they gave up everything to the mediocre Mr. Qiao."

Xiao Bi quickly asked: "I don't like Mrs. Qiao's mother very much, but I have to admit that her appearance is still very good, this is ordinary..."

"Alas -" Mrs. Yao sighed again: "The princess is so kind-hearted. You grew up in the capital of Wei Dynasty and often visited the palace. What kind of beauty have you not seen?

Although Mr. Qiao's appearance is not bad, it depends on who he is compared with.

Yu Ge'er's biological mother is completely different from my second sister-in-law. When used to describe her, the word "celestial being" is really not an exaggeration at all."

Xiao Bi blinked: "Auntie, please tell me about my mother-in-law."

Yao said: "Brother Yu, haven't you ever told you about his biological mother?"

Xiao Bi pursed her lips and said, "He has mentioned it to me a few times, but he has never met my mother-in-law himself, so how can he explain it clearly?"

"Actually, your mother-in-law lived in Tianshui County for a period of time many years ago, but I was still in the capital at that time and had no chance to get to know her."

Xiao Bi had heard from Mrs. Luo before that Mrs. Luo had lived in Tianshui County.

But in front of Yao, there is no need to mention this kind of thing.

"Auntie, the first time you and your mother-in-law met was after you married into the Huan family?"

Yao nodded: "Yes, the Wei Dynasty and the Liuyun Kingdom were at war at that time, but that war was also coming to an end.

Your eldest uncle and the county prince have both reached the age of marriage, so the old lady began to select a daughter-in-law, so that they can get married when they return home.

At that time, not long after our family arrived in Tianshui County, the old lady valued my identity as the legitimate daughter of the Yao family, so she asked a matchmaker to go to the Yao family to propose marriage."

After saying this, she pursed her lips and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of your jokes. At that time, my parents were interested in the county prince, but they didn't have anything to do with your uncle."

Xiao Bi blinked: "Auntie, please tell me about my mother-in-law."

Yao said: "Brother Yu, haven't you ever told you about his biological mother?"
