Miss Su Shuang's parents died early, and she was raised by her grandfather.

Now that her grandfather is in poor health, his other sons don't want to take care of him and want to throw him into the mountains to fend for himself.

Of course Miss Su Shuang was unwilling to do so, so she lived alone with her grandfather in the old house, and did sewing and laundry work at home to support the two of them.

Those uncles and aunts wanted to occupy the old house, so they wanted to get rid of the grandfather and granddaughter.

When they saw that the palace was recruiting palace maids, they reported Miss Su Shuang's name and information. She was of the right age and had a clean family background, so she was selected smoothly.

Those uncles and aunts had privately agreed that after she entered the palace, they would simply throw the old man into the mountains and sell the old house.

Of course Miss Su Shuang was unwilling to enter the palace, but if she did not enter the palace after being selected, it would be considered as running away and she would be thrown into prison.

She still had to take care of her grandfather and couldn't go to jail. She was anxious, so she brought the few taels of silver she had saved with great difficulty to discuss with her father-in-law.

Fortunately, she happened to meet Su Wanti and her daughter.

The two exchanged identities. Su Wanti, who wanted to survive, entered the palace, while Su Shuang, who wanted her grandfather to survive, went home, packed up her things and left her hometown with her grandfather.

Su Wanti knew what kind of people Su Shuang's family was, so she naturally wouldn't let Leng Hong reward her "family".

Furthermore, if Miss Su Shuang’s family were rewarded and asked to come to the palace to express their gratitude, wouldn’t her identity be exposed?

Moreover, Su Wanti had been observing Leng Hong carefully these days. As soon as he said that just now, she knew that he was testing her to see if she had ambitions for power.

She won't be fooled.

Su Wanti's eyes sparkled, and her face was filled with sincerity.

Leng Hong lowered his eyes to look at her, touched her little face, and said, "I know."

Then, his eyes darkened and he put his arm around her waist, bringing the two of them closer together.

"If you won't let me choose a concubine, or take a concubine, how can I have children and expand my family?"
