Aunt Wusang sighed: "Yes, he was punished. After Saint Aguna had someone punish him with a hundred lashes, she still let him go for the sake of past friendship."
She paused and said, "But after that, no matter what other great wizards tried to persuade her, Saint Aguna never chose another male Gu Master to serve her in the next ten years and concentrated on studying Gu."
Xiao Xi suddenly raised her little hand and said in a milky voice——
"I understand. Aunt Agu must have been saddened by that bad man, so she thought that when she was thirty years old, she would choose the most capable girl among the female Gu masters according to the old rules and pass the Gu god on to her.
That’s fine.”
Ming Lanruo frowned slightly, looked at Xiao Xi, and softened her voice: "Xiao Xi, do you want to go out and play with sister Chunhe?"
It's not suitable for the little guy to hear about the relationship between men and women right now. It's not a good thing for him to know a little about it.
"Mom, I don't want to go out, I won't interrupt." Xiao Xi immediately said obediently.
Aunt Wusang hugged Xiao Xi and smiled softly: "It doesn't matter. Master Xiao Xi is a precocious child. What he said is absolutely right. Saint Aguna had this idea back then."
She paused and sighed again: "When Saint Aguna was twenty-nine years old, several great wizards selected the girls with the most talented Gu masters from the areas they were responsible for and sent them to Saint Aguna.
around."
If everything goes according to the original plan and there are no problems, the inheritance of the Saintess will pass smoothly.
"But..." Aunt Wusang hesitated.
She smiled bitterly: "It was also when the Saint was twenty-nine years old that Xiao Shuai went to the Annan Kingdom according to the late emperor's order and led troops to help Annan Kingdom quell the civil strife."
Ming Lanruo shook her Suzhou embroidered fan and thought thoughtfully: "When you go to Annan Kingdom, you will definitely pass through Lingnan. Could it be that my grandfather..."
She paused and showed a strange expression: "Is it possible that my grandfather and Aunt Agu met at that time?"
No, no, it can’t be what she thinks...
Aunt Wusang nodded and said: "Yes, Xiao Shuai was hit by miasma at that time, and Saint Aguna saved him. Not long after, Saint Aguna became pregnant."
Ming Lanruo frowned: "My grandfather had already married my grandmother at that time... Isn't it the ancestral motto of the Xiao family men not to take concubines?"
Aunt Wusang shook her head: "Yes, but Xiao Shuai's first wife had died of illness for almost two years at that time, and Xiao Shuai's first wife was actually a married widow before marrying Xiao Shuai, so Xiao Shuai did not feel sorry for him.
lady."
Ming Lanruo was stunned: "What, how is this possible?"
She had never known that this legendary grandfather was so emotionally legendary...
However, according to common sense, my grandfather was also a young commander from a famous family when he was young, right?
The wife he married is actually a widow. How is this possible?
Aunt Wu Sang paused: "It is said that when Xiao Shuai underestimated the enemy and fell into the enemy's trap when he was young, a deputy general carried Xiao Shuai out of the pile of dead people and escaped all the way back."
"Xiao Shuai survived, but the deputy general who carried him out could not hold on."
"Before he died, the deputy general wanted Xiao Shuai to marry his new wife as his concubine, otherwise he would die in peace. Xiao Shuai agreed."
Ming Lanruo frowned slightly: "But my grandfather hadn't married yet at that time, so why would he take a concubine first?"
Not to mention the Xiao family, among all the noble families in the capital, who would dare to take a concubine before marrying a wife?
The most dissolute thing is that there are several tangfang and Mianhuasuliu mixed brothel in the room.
Aunt Wusang sighed: "So, the deputy general's new wife finally married Xiao Shuai in the border area and became his wife."
When the news came back to Beijing, Xiao Shuai's first child was already three years old, and Xiao Shuai had a no-nonsense temperament.
Regardless of whether it is the Xiao clan or the late emperor, what else can be said?
"The three young masters of the Xiao family, Xiao Guantian, Xiao Guanhai, and the third young master Xiao Guanyun—Yue Niang's former lover, were all born to the previous lady."
When Ming Lanruo heard this, she couldn't help but squeeze the fan in her hand: "Then my mother..."
She couldn't help but sit up straight, feeling a little nervous.
Aunt Wusang looked at her and smiled softly: "Miss Xiao Guanyin was conceived after Saint Aguna and Xiao Shuai met in Miao territory."
Although Ming Lanruo was prepared in her heart, her mind was still in chaos. After a while, she asked dumbly——
"So, in fact, Grandma Agu is my grandmother, my grandma, right?"
Yes, from childhood to adulthood, Grandma Agu's love, care and devotion to her far exceeded that of an ordinary loyal servant to her little master.
Now that I think about it, it is clearly my grandmother's love for her only little granddaughter.
She rubbed her eyebrows and looked at Aunt Wusang intently: "If that's the case, why didn't my grandfather marry Aunt Agu, my grandmother?"
Does he dislike my grandmother’s Miao background?”
According to unwritten rules, if a high-ranking Han man marries a woman from a small minority, he or she can only be a concubine, not a wife.
Aunt Wusang shook her head: "No, Xiao Shuai values love and friendship. He never disliked the late madam for being married, so how could he dislike Saint Aguna?"
She sighed deeply: "Saint Aguna is determined not to have a status. At first, she concealed Xiao Shuai's identity to avoid unnecessary trouble. Later, after she followed Xiao Shuai, she was chased by Miao Gu Masters.
If you want to kill someone, you will be even less willing to expose yourself."
Aunt Wu Sang smiled bitterly: "After all, it was not until Xiao Shuai took her with her new name to guard the northern border that she escaped the pursuit of the Gu Masters."
"Saint Aguna is worried that once her true identity is discovered, she will bring trouble to the Xiao family and harm the child in her belly."
Listening to the thrilling stories of these ancestors, Ming Lanruo couldn't help but ask with complicated emotions——
"Grandma... really loves my grandfather, so she would rather stay with him anonymously throughout her life."
He doesn't even recognize his daughter or granddaughter.
Aunt Wusang said with emotion: "Saint Aguna dared to love and hate her all her life, and Xiao Shuai did not marry again. Although the two had no status, they were together for twenty years."
She took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Saint Aguna treated the young men left behind by the late Madam as her own, and they also respected her and loved her only sister, Miss Guanyin, until... something happened to them all later.
Everyone died."
All happiness came to an abrupt end.
At the end of her laugh, Aunt Wusang couldn't help but cover her face and shed tears.
Ming Lanruo patted her shoulder to comfort her: "Aunt Wusang, everything is over and everything will be fine in the future..."
Aunt Wusang's mother is the maid next to Agu.
When Agu fled, she took their mother and daughter with her. Aunt Wusang, who was only seven years old at the time, witnessed the thrilling past.
Xiao Xi sensibly handed her own handkerchief to Aunt Wu Sang: "Aunt Wu Sang, don't cry, we will definitely rescue the great grandmother."
If Aunt Agu is my mother's grandmother, she is my own great-grandmother.
Ming Lanruo glanced at Xiao Xi, and she saw that this kid actually knew how to call people, and he also knew his seniority very well.
He kept deliberately calling Cang Qiao his uncle, grandma, and grandma...
The little guy really holds a grudge.
She looked at Aunt Wusang: "By the way, Aunt Wusang, why didn't grandma leave the Gu god to Miao Jiang and leave with grandpa?"
If grandma hadn't left with the Gu God, she wouldn't have been hunted down, right?
Moreover, since he has lived for thousands of years, if the Gu God who was carefully raised was suddenly taken away by his grandmother, wouldn't it have an impact on Miao territory?
