Chapter 773: Being on guard against others is essential
"A-Li!" Huo Qing quickly stopped her, not allowing her to continue: "I am absolutely loyal to Sanlang, and I would never do anything to betray him!"
"I know." Chu Yueli looked at her and smiled, "Third Aunt, don't worry, I'm just analyzing the situation and telling the truth."
Huo Qing pursed her lips and remained silent.
In short, she didn't like hearing any kind words spoken to that old geezer.
"However, he still respects you to some extent now because he likes you, but it's hard to say what will happen when his patience runs out."
Chu Yueli's words struck a chord with Huo Qing.
“That’s what I’m worried about, Ali. I…I want to go to Nanmeng,” she suddenly said.
Chu Yueli looked at her without any surprise in her eyes, as if she had already guessed that she would have this thought.
But she shook her head: "The situation in southern Mongolia is still unclear, and we have no reason to go on an expedition there."
"A-Li?" Huo Qing was shocked, her whole body tensing up in surprise: "A-Li, you...you also..."
Heading on to Southern Mongolia!
The fact that she could say this meant that she had had this idea for a long time.
It turns out that he wasn't the only one eager to go to Southern Mongolia.
Chu Yueli glanced at her, then looked back at Chu Lingshan, who was still kneeling on the ground in the distance.
The matter between Third Aunt and the Emperor definitely needs to be resolved.
Just as Third Aunt had worried, in the long run, her refusal would implicate the Duke's Mansion.
“I do want to go. My elder brother and husband are both in Southern Mongolia, and my Chu family army is also there. But the situation is unclear, and the Emperor will not allow us to go. However…”
She squeezed Huo Qing's hand and said, "Since the Emperor is so eyeing you so covetously, it is indeed not advisable for you to stay in the capital."
"Then, Ali, where do you want me to go?"
As long as you escape the capital and the old emperor's clutches, you can go anywhere.
But she couldn't be like Ning Anran and rashly leave the Chu family army for Nanmeng. She was afraid that when Ali needed her, she wouldn't be there, and Ali would have no one to rely on.
"Didn't you not want Chu Lingshan to marry a lousy old man?" A dark glint flashed in Chu Yueli's eyes, and even Huo Qing couldn't see what she was thinking.
Chu Yueli said, "But when the Chu family army selects people, they will never choose useless people. Take her to the Chu family army's camp in Qinyang and see if she can adapt to life in the army."
"Isn't Ali afraid that I'll show favoritism?" Asking her to consider whether or not to let Chu Lingshan stay is indeed somewhat biased.
"Don't worry, I know my third aunt won't let me down," Chu Yueli said with a smile.
Huo Qing nodded vigorously: "I will never show favoritism. If Ling Shan really can't make it, I will have someone send her back."
"It's a word."
Afterwards, Huo Qing spoke to Chu Lingshan, who initially seemed somewhat uneasy, but later accepted it.
Huo Qing took her and set off immediately, without even notifying anyone from the Earl's Mansion. The speed was astonishing.
When Miao Yucui and Tuoba Liuli saw Chu Yueli off, Miao Yucui hesitated to speak.
Chu Yueli asked, "Is Second Aunt worried about Chu Lingshan?"
"He's an outsider after all. Going to the Chu family army so rashly, I don't know if it will be a blessing or a curse," Miao Yucui said with some worry.
A pitiful-looking woman followed Qing'er.
With Qing'er's personality, she simply doesn't know how to read people's hearts.
What if Chu Lingshan has any ulterior motives? Wouldn't that be like releasing an enemy pawn into the heart of our own military camp?
