Madam Wu came from a military family, following her father to the borders from a young age. Her skills were honed on the vast prairie.
After marrying Old Marquis Mu Shi Yuan, the young Madam Wu did not stay in the capital, instead she followed Mu Shi Yuan to guard the borders.
When the battles were intense, Mu Shi Yuan was fighting outside, and the enemy troops attacked the border towns at night. Madam Wu did not hide but danced with the long saber alongside the defending soldiers to kill the enemy.
That night, she, a woman, took the lives of several enemies.
Although far from replacing her father in the army like Hua Mulan on the opera stage, Madam Wu's actions were a remarkable story among women of the time.
Du Yunluo had heard the old servants of Dingyuan Marquis Mansion talk about that past, but Madam Wu never mentioned it, nor did she like the younger ones asking her about it.
