Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 207 The Women's Army Corps: Terrifyingly Strong

Third Aunt!

Chu Jia Sanlang's wife?

All eyes immediately fell on Huo Qing.

Sanlang died on the battlefield before he was married, and no one ever heard that he had a wife.

Faced with everyone's questioning gazes, Huo Qing still felt a little uncomfortable and subconsciously wanted to back away.

One hand held her hand tightly.

It was Chu Yueli. Holding Huo Qing's hand, she walked up to the Emperor and knelt down with a thud.

"My third aunt and third uncle were trapped on the battlefield between Wu and Yue, their fate unknown. They decided to pledge their lives to each other, fearing they would have regrets if they died in battle. They won that battle, and my aunt was wounded and sent back to the city for treatment. But only a few days later, my third uncle followed my parents to the northern Mongolian battlefield..."

Chu Yueli didn't continue talking about what happened next, but when she mentioned the battlefield in northern Inner Mongolia, everyone present knew what the situation was like.

The Duke's family was known for its loyalty and bravery; all three sons and their eldest daughter-in-law died in northern Mongolia!

What a tragic and heroic battle that was!

The Emperor sighed deeply, his face darkening. Looking at Huo Qing, he felt an indescribable heaviness in his heart.

After a long pause, he said in a deep voice, "Your name is Huo Qing?"

"Yes!" Huo Qing nodded.

The Emperor said, "Huo Qing, listen to my decree!"

Huo Qing was so frightened that she quickly knelt down as well, completely bewildered.

The Emperor said, "You and the Third Son of the Chu family are deeply in love and have shared life and death. I am deeply moved and hereby bestow upon you the title of Lady Qing and award you ten thousand taels of gold!"

Mrs. Qing!

Huo Qing looked at Chu Yueli, terrified and at a loss for what to do.

Chu Yueli laughed and said, "Why don't you hurry up and thank the Emperor for his great favor!"

Huo Qing then realized what was happening and kowtowed with a thud, her voice trembling with excitement: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your great kindness!"

She never expected that today, not only did Ali acknowledge her, but the Emperor would also legitimize her marriage with Sanlang!

An affair without a matchmaker is ultimately improper, but once the emperor spoke, her identity was completely acknowledged.

The Duke probably won't kick her out again. She can live in Sanlang's courtyard, guarding the place where Sanlang grew up, and live a quiet life.

The moment Huo Qing lowered her head, tears streamed down her face.

Chu Yueli took her hand and stood up, then returned to the ranks of the Duke's mansion.

Distracted by this, those who had just mocked the Duke's mansion as a women's army could no longer laugh.

The Duke's family was known for its loyalty and bravery. Now, the men have died on the battlefield, leaving only a house full of orphans and widows. What's so funny about that?

Their husbands were all great heroes!

Chu Xiaohe leaned back towards the emperor, then leaped onto his horse and immediately began the drill.

Hitting the bullseye with a single arrow, unhurried and composed, is his consistent style.

The second person to participate in the drill was Madam Ning.

As she rode past the archery target, she suddenly twisted her wrist, flung the longbow behind her, and drew the bow to shoot an arrow from behind.

With a whoosh, it hit the bullseye.

"Great!" The people around couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

The third person to practice was the second wife, Miao Yucui. She didn't even bring a bow; she simply tossed it aside as she rode past on horseback.

With a snap, the arrow hit the bullseye. And that wasn't all; the arrow even pierced through the bullseye and lodged in a tree trunk in the distance!

Everyone was stunned into silence.

Legend has it that this Lady Miao was born with superhuman strength, possessing immense power. Her pair of heavy hammers weighed over a hundred pounds each, and could crush the heads of several enemy soldiers with a single blow!

I had only heard about her before, since she wasn't very famous. But seeing her today, I can truly say her arm strength is amazing!

Now, those who still wanted to laugh could no longer laugh.

The people from the Duke's mansion are terrifyingly powerful!

I wonder what skills the Third Madam, who has just been rewarded, possesses?
