Li's pair of slender and long phoenix eyes sized up Cui Ying's face for a while, finally revealing a relieved smile.

  She slowly got up, took down a silver gun that had been polished brightly from the wall, "Want to learn gunplay?"

  Cui Ying nodded, "Mm, I want to learn."

  Li's head nodded slightly, but in an instant, a set of Yuan family guns was displayed like flowing clouds and water. The sharp edge of the silver gun pierced the tranquility of the day, and the wind seemed to have the sound of galloping iron horses.

  She took a deep breath, picked up the gun and stood in front of Cui Ying, "This is the weapon that your second brother never left behind before he left, and it has become mine since then."

  Cui Ling's body trembled slightly, and she asked in a low voice, "Is this gun Second Brother's?"

  Liang's hand rested on the gun as he sat down beside Cui Rong, his gaze softly shining on the gleaming muzzle.

  She sighed and said, "Five years ago, your second brother was trapped in the Turkic region. If I had my current abilities back then, I could have learned from my grandmother's feat of single-handedly breaking through the enemy lines with her feminine power to rescue our grandfather."

  She was just a delicate and weak woman who had been pampered too much, let alone going to the battlefield to rescue her husband, she didn't even have the ability to rush to the battlefield alone. When she received the news that Yuan Er Lang was trapped, apart from secretly crying, she had no other way.

  Li's hand shook slightly as he held the red-tasseled spear, "Later, my father and third brother found Erlang's corpse, pierced by countless arrows, his face completely unrecognizable, but this silver spear was still tightly grasped in his hand."

  She paused slightly, her long eyelashes covering her clear and distinct eyes, the light in her eyes flickering, sometimes bright, sometimes dim. "The red tassel on the gun was tied by me personally, and it's still intact... that fool, at such a moment, is still thinking about these things..."

  Cui Ling listened to Er Sao's calm tone, but her expression clearly contained turbulent sorrow and regret.

  She felt a slight twinge in her heart, and her eyes seemed to be welling up with tears as she couldn't help but call out, "Second Aunt..."

  Liang turned his head and smiled lightly at Cui Ying, "Fifth brother and sister, don't cry. I didn't say these things to make you shed tears."

  She gently put the silver gun back in its place and helped Cui Ying up, "I just wanted to say that seeing you sincerely wanting to learn archery makes me very happy, and I'm happy for my fifth brother. If..."

  Liang's voice trembled slightly, "If I had been like you back then, perhaps your second brother would..."

  Cui Ling was stunned, she thought to herself that her reason for wanting to learn archery was simply because she thought it was a great sport, which could strengthen her body and give her a skill to rely on, with a strong foundation, no one would dare to bully her again.

  Ke Er's sister obviously misunderstood.

  She didn't know how the battle in the northwest border was going on now, nor did she know if Yuan Wulang would have a day when he fell into crisis.

  It's better if there isn't.

  But if one day, Yuan Wulang really fell into the same danger as his second brother, let alone whether she had the ability to save people, even if she did, it would take her fifteen days to rush from Shengjing to the northwest.

  He can't wait either.

  It's as if Second Sister has always regretted not practicing her marksmanship well enough back then, and not rushing to the battlefield to learn from Old Lady Yuan how to save her husband. But even if Second Sister had mastered the Yuan family's marksmanship skills by that time, what would be the use of it?

  From Shengjing to Tujue is not far, a thousand miles away. Er Sao heard the news and rushed to go, but it was already too late to save people.

  Not to mention marching and fighting, it emphasizes the harmony of heaven, earth, and man.

  Deploying troops and forming battle arrays relies on strategy, charging into the enemy's position requires bravery, but rescuing people from the enemy's camp requires both, which is far more than just being skilled in a set of gun techniques.

  The second sister-in-law is just deceiving herself and others.

  Cui Ling had studied psychology for a period of time in her previous life and knew that Er Sao's behavior was actually a kind of psychological disorder.

  Intense grief and self-reproach are normal reactions to the unexpected death of a close family member, but the pain of losing a loved one will gradually fade with time.

  Time heals all wounds, this is the law of nature.

  But Second Sister obviously did not want cruel time to take away her memories of Second Brother, she blamed herself for Second Brother's death, so she could never let go, and forever etched Second Brother in her heart.

  In his past life, Cui Ying had seen many similar cases.

  This situation often occurs between loving couples, one of whom dies suddenly, and the other cannot accept it.

  They lock themselves up, thinking the other's death is due to their own fault, and are tormented by regret over unfulfilled promises in the past. Some become greatly changed in temperament, and some even have suicidal tendencies.

  The deeper the symptoms, the longer the time required for psychological counseling.

  Cui Ying really wanted to wake up Er Sao thoroughly and let her stop sinking into self-blame, guilt, pain and regret.

  But reason told her that if she were to speak bluntly, the consequences would be unthinkable.

  The top priority is to establish a trusting relationship with Er Biao, and on the premise that Er Biao gradually lets her guard down, she can subtly comfort the sorrowful knowledge that she roughly skimmed over in her past life and slowly instill it into Er Biao.

  Slowly figuring it out will allow you to untie Second Sister-in-law's knot in her heart.

  After all, Second Sister is only twenty-six years old this year.

  Even if I bear the imperial edict, I'm afraid I won't be able to remarry in this life. However, for a woman, the greatest happiness in life is not just about being a wife and mother.

  Chui Ying's past life, twenty-six years old was a woman's best time, youth still existed, full of vitality.

  If described with flowers, women of this age have just shed their tender and reserved youth, slowly opening their petals, beautifully blooming, fresher and warmer than the morning breeze in May.

  She cannot allow her second sister-in-law to wither and fall in the prime of life!

  After practicing horse steps, I practiced a set of introductory fist methods.

  In the cold early days of December, Cui Ying was so hot that she was drenched in sweat all over her body, but she didn't feel any discomfort at all, because in Er Sao's gaze towards her, there was no longer any disdain or contempt.

  "Li said with some concern, "Fifth brother and sister practiced too hard today. It's fine now, but after a good night's sleep, they will surely be sore all over. Quick, it's cold outside, tie the cloak tighter."

  She thought for a moment and instructed the wooden stick beside her, "You go back first to prepare hot water for your grandmother, add a few slices of ginger, and ask her to soak well, otherwise this sudden cold and heat is prone to catching a cold."

  "Then what about our grandma?"

  "Take a look at this, grandma," said Liang, "I'll take you back myself, okay?"

  Mugwort knew that Second Madam was the most difficult to talk to. Seeing Cuiying give her a signal, she hastily agreed and retreated.

  Cui Ling said with embarrassment, "Second sister also go back to the house to change clothes, I am not a three-year-old child, can go back by myself."

  Liáng smiled lightly, "I haven't exerted myself much today, I didn't even break a sweat. Besides sending you back, I'll also take the opportunity to visit my grandmother."

  She hesitated for a moment, "I don't know if grandmother slept well last night after taking Wang Taizhen's medicine?"

  Cui Ling patted her forehead, "I came over when grandma hadn't gotten up yet, and I don't know if the medicine has taken effect or not. Originally thought of practicing for a bit before going back to take a look, who would have expected it to be so long..."

  She bit her lip, "I don't know if Grandmother liked the lotus seed cake I made this morning!"

  Li saw Cui Ying's anxiety and couldn't help but laugh, "What are the five brothers and sisters still dawdling about? Let's hurry over and take a look."
