King Wen was so thoughtful that setting up a scheme for someone was as easy as drinking water for him; he was incredibly meticulous.

The Empress Dowager looked at Yun Danqiu.

This Yun Danqiu was a woman that King Wen found among the common people. She did not have a distinguished family background, but only a face that resembled that of an old friend.

The Empress Dowager was worried that it would delay Yun Danqiu's future, so she had subtly mentioned to her that she looked very much like the person King Wen liked.

But Yun Danqiu didn't care at all.

Even the maids in the Empress Dowager's palace came to report that they heard Yun Danqiu say: "It's like what? It's like my skill."

From then on, the Empress Dowager no longer interfered with Yun Danqiu.

The Empress Dowager knew King Wen's son all too well; he appeared gentle and refined, but in reality, his ambitions were sky-high.

If this were a prince born to another concubine, the Empress Dowager would definitely not have kept him.

But unfortunately, King Wen was her own flesh and blood.

"Mother, Jiang Dai and Danqiu had a little unpleasantness just now. Danqiu was just about to apologize to Jiang Dai and was going to cook lunch herself. Why don't I send someone to accompany Jiang Dai to the palace this afternoon?"

As soon as King Wen finished speaking, he gave Yun Danqiu a wink.

Although Yun Danqiu strongly disagreed with the idea of ​​apologizing to Jiang Dai, she still nodded in agreement with King Wen.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager did not agree, Prince Wen said jokingly, "Mother, my palace is not some den of demons. Are you afraid that I will bully Jiang Dai and the child?"

The Empress Dowager chuckled: "Of course not. Then remember to have Jiang Dai bring Juanjuan over this afternoon to keep this old woman company."

King Wen bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I obey."

Looking at this mother and son, they appear warm and harmless on the outside, but there are undercurrents surging beneath.

Jiang Dai couldn't help but click her tongue inwardly.

Look at this silent threat, all these cunning schemes—they're definitely not simple people.

[Using my ignorance of his despicable intentions to threaten the Empress Dowager, if she were to forcibly take me away, wouldn't that prove there's something fishy going on with King Wen?]

[Was the Empress Dowager truly King Wen's mother, or did she simply not want others to know about King Wen's embarrassing side?]

Listening to her mother's words, Juanjuan tilted her head and pondered to herself.

What despicable thoughts did King Wen harbor?

No matter how the child thought about it, he would never have imagined that King Wen, as his uncle, would have such thoughts about his own mother.

After the Empress Dowager left, Yun Danqiu actually apologized to Jiang Dai and her daughter.

However, Jiang Dai did not overlook the look of disgust and wariness in the woman's eyes.

It's normal. This sense of crisis and jealousy is something that people of all ages and genders experience.

But for her... it's really unnecessary.

Lunch was not prepared by Yun Danqiu, otherwise Jiang Dai would not have dared to eat it.

After dinner, Yun Danqiu offered to take Juanjuan out for a walk.

In that instant, Yun Danqiu felt several gazes fall upon her.

Jiang Dai: This person wouldn't be trying to harm Juanjuan, would they?

Juanjuan: Is this person trying to harm me?

King Wen instructed his personal maid, "Go and follow the young lady. If she loses even a single hair, she can go and accept the punishment herself."

Juanjuan: ? So, her great-uncle just sent her away like that?

He definitely wanted to get rid of her so he could have a private conversation with his mother alone.

Juanjuan is extremely familiar with this process.

Jiang Dai bent down and patted her little girl's back: "Go ahead, it's alright."

[Naturally, people will follow Juanjuan's lead.]

If it weren't for Gou Dan and the others, I wouldn't be so relaxed right now; I'd be on my toes.

Juanjuan nodded, then followed Yun Danqiu away.
