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. She just wanted to wait until she was thirty years old and follow the old rules to select the most capable girl among the female Gu masters 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 never knew 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 hoped that Xiao Shuai would 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."
