Chapter 454 Master Xingyun Invites You

Aunt Xin finally understood who the man she had just seen was.

So it was the Duke she had once admired!

Aunt Xin clicked her tongue twice.

“Not at all!” Aunt Xin said softly.

"Doesn't seem like him? What was the Duke like in your memory?" Dongmai asked, thinking.

Aunt Xin tilted her head and thought for a moment, then shook her head somewhat awkwardly.

"I don't know either! But it's definitely not like this now."

No, the Duke I remember should be the kind who rides a warhorse, wielding a long spear, charging into the enemy ranks and fighting bravely.

"He can kill ten or so men with a single spear thrust. Just standing there, the Northern barbarians are immediately terrified and dare not come near." Aunt Xin became more and more excited as she spoke.

Winter wheat...

This must have been Yun Niang's own idea!

"But... that was indeed the Duke!"

"How about I talk to Miss again and we can take you with us? You can come with us." Dongmai suggested softly.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Xin immediately shook her head vigorously, like a rattle drum.

"No way! I'm not going! I'm perfectly fine in the capital."

"Dongmai, if you ever need money while you're out there, just let me know, and I'll have my cousin's caravan bring it to you," Aunt Xin said with a smile.

Winter Wheat was a little surprised.

She knew exactly what Aunt Xin had been acting strangely these past few days.

Now, when I offered to plead with the prostitute, she actually refused.

"You really don't want to go?" Dongmai asked again.

“I’m not going!” Aunt Xin’s attitude was firm.

Winter wheat is even stranger.

The reason no one had told Aunt Xin before was because she was a bit simple-minded. If she accidentally let someone trick her into revealing information, it would be a huge problem.

"Didn't you always admire the Duke?" Dongmai asked with a smile.

That was in the past, not now!

Also, I like the Duke who rides a warhorse and kills enemies with a long spear.

It's not like I'm the kind of person who sits around with a teacup, looking at flowers and plants.

Winter wheat, what's going on?

I would never believe that the man just now was a Duke.

"If he were the Duke, I would rather... I had never met him!" Aunt Xin said softly.

Winter wheat...

This requires special scenarios and special equipment...

However, as one of the few key figures who knew the inside story, Dongmai felt that she still had to say a few fair words for the Duke.

"Actually... the Duke has had a tough few years."

After all, it's all for the sake of Chongqing!

"Although I haven't been on horseback fighting, what I've accomplished over the years is in no way inferior to anyone else's," Dongmai explained softly.

Aunt Xin's face showed a hint of disdain.

"How is it not easy? If it's not easy for him, does that mean it's not easy for Madam?"

All these years, hasn't the mansion been supported by the lady?

No matter how difficult things are for him, they are not as hard-working as his wife's!

"Furthermore, no matter how difficult things are, you shouldn't leave your wife and children at home and let your wife work so hard on those things all by herself," Aunt Xin said solemnly.

I'd like to say a few more kind words about winter wheat...

Yes, no matter what, we can't leave our young lady in the manor for so many years!

However, the young lady did say that the Duke never returned empty-handed.

They send back a lot of money every year.

Dongmai simply didn't intend to explain this to Aunt Xin.

Why do we need to know so much?

It's fine as it is now!

It's enough that you know your young lady has it tough!

In case the Duke ever wrongs the young lady in the future, she'll have another person to stand with her against a common enemy...

Also, if Aunt Xin knew that he had come back so many times and he hadn't said a single word to her, she would definitely be angry.

It's better to avoid trouble! Being a little silly is fine too...

Dongmai simply stopped talking and started telling Aunt Xin how hard the young lady had worked all these years.

At the same time, she did not forget to remind Aunt Xin that there were some things that could be said and some things that could not be said.

The fact that the Duke was not dead is something that cannot be discussed.

Having grown up in the palace, Consort Xin naturally knew the ins and outs of this.

To put it bluntly, isn't this tantamount to deceiving the emperor?

The funeral was handled entirely by the Imperial Household Department, and even the coffin was made of the best wood used by the department, a treatment comparable to that of a prince.

If someone were to spread rumors at this point that the Duke is still alive and well, it would be disastrous!

Who knows how many more problems will arise...

So, Aunt Xin pretended she had never seen that person!

Hehe, the Duke in her heart lives on horseback, he's definitely not that person from before...

Dongmai also chatted with Aunt Xin about other things for a while.

What to pay attention to when going out to play, and what places to go and remember to send messages back.

Also, you must be careful to protect the lady; she's too fragile...

The two were having a pleasant conversation when Lin's mother rushed over.

"Mother Lin? What's wrong?" Dongmai stood at the door.

Lin's mother didn't plan to go in either.

“Master Xingyun has sent a young novice monk, saying he wants to see the lady.”

“Master Xingyun? Which Master Xingyun?” Dongmai couldn’t remember for a moment.

“The one at Bao'en Temple!” Lin’s mother said hurriedly.

Upon hearing this, Dongmai realized it was a serious matter! Master Xingyun was a highly respected figure; obtaining several amulets from him at this time was the most important thing...
