"Just tell me where the remains are, Lord He. My mother is revisiting the old place with my father and has no time to argue with you two."

Huo Xiaolong stood in front of Minister He and his wife, her hands behind her back. Seeing that Madam He's eyes kept darting towards the man, she knew that the remains were definitely not in a good place.

Even his own parents were there, holding hands and reminiscing about the past, their eyes practically glued to each other. Huo Xiaolong, not wanting to be a third wheel, packed his bags and left.

"Master, Miss is back."

"Isn't Ah Qing in the palace? Why would she be here during a festival?"

Upon hearing the housekeeper's words, Madam He seemed to have found a sense of security and asked a question.

"Mother."

He Qing rushed in from outside, disregarding her manners. The palace now knew that the Prince of Zhenbei's mother had gone to the Ministry of Rites's residence to move her mother's grave.

"It was the Empress Dowager who specially permitted me to return home, Mother. Have you been wronged?"

The woman, holding a handkerchief, looked at Mrs. He's red, bleeding cheeks and asked with concern.

Madam He didn't speak, but her eyes kept looking at Huo Xiaolong.

"Even though the Prince of Zhenbei is a prince, he should not humiliate the women of the imperial court in this way."

Consort Qing turned around and said to Huo Xiaolong with some anger.

Long'er snorted. These sisters' fighting ability is not even as good as her Er Ya's. Really, Er Ya would do better than her if she were in the palace.

"Your mother doesn't know the rules, so what's wrong with me disciplining her?"

"you……"

"You should know why I'm here today, Consort Qing. If you're smart enough, you can help persuade Madam He. Otherwise, if things fall apart, your He family will suffer more."

It's too late to retrieve He Yi's mother's remains from the riverbed now. If we do that, He Yi and Huo Xiaolong will definitely not let it go when they see this scene.

Consort Qing spoke.

"This matter definitely needs to be done, but not today. After all, she is my He family's concubine, and such an important matter as moving her grave will surely be complicated. How about we set a time and then welcome our concubine home in a grand manner?"

"no."

Huo Xiaolong didn't even think about it; she came here today with the intention of causing trouble.

The main concern is that I don't know if my parents' loving relationship is over yet, so what else can I do now?

“My mother is just a concubine in the He family. There’s really no need for this. Let’s do it today.”

He Yi walked in arm in arm with Huo Shuwen. Her face was flushed, and you could tell at a glance that she had just done something.

Huo Xiaolong's own daughter was practically whistling and gazing at the sky, but the atmosphere was really inappropriate.

"Consort Qing, where is my mother?"

He Yi's expression changed, and she raised her head slightly, just as He Qing had least wanted to see back then.

He Yi was prettier than her since childhood. The saying "There is a beautiful woman in the capital" originally referred to He Yi, but her stepmother fooled her.

“Our He family only has one daughter, and that is A-Qing.”

Even her entry into the palace was due to this statement: the emperor felt that the best things in the world should belong to him.

"Back then, was the He family's daughter whom the Emperor wanted to enter the palace really you?"

He Yi walked to Qing Guiren's side and whispered these words.

Everyone present was taken aback.

Huo Xiaolong: Damn you old bastard, you big pervert, I'll kill you tonight.

Eagle: Luckily I acted early, I'm glad I got a wife.

Mr. and Mrs. He: How did she know about this?

He Qing just stood there blankly. After so many years in the palace, she had developed some brains.

She was the mother of the Prince of Zhenbei, a second-rank imperial consort. How could she not find out about things that happened in the capital so many years ago?

"I don't want to do anything else today, I just want to take my mother home. Gentlemen, please do me a favor."

Noble Lady Qing nodded and pointed to the backyard, saying...

"Alright, then I'll tell you, your mother is in the river in that little courtyard from back then."

"Even if she dies, I won't let her rest in peace!"

He Yi looked at her expressionlessly, her heart completely unmoved.

What's there to regret about my love-struck mother? We're just each other's only family. If she truly loved me, would she be thinking about how to get Mr. He to come to her place every day?

She had no idea what she would experience on the second day after visiting her.

She knew, but she didn't care.

"Oh," He Yi replied casually.

Then, looking at his daughter, the Prince of Zhenbei waved his hand, and Xiaocao led her private soldiers in to start digging.

"He Yi! She's your own mother!"

Consort Qing desperately wanted to see He Yi in pain and despair.

Why is she living such a good life now?

—Slap.

Huo Xiaolong felt that her mother had never laid a hand on her more than she had in her entire life, not counting the beatings she received.

Consort Qing's face was so red, and the handprint was clearly visible.

"You dare hit me?"

—Slap.

"Should I let you know before we start?"

"Have you forgotten how you bullied me back then?"

“He Qing, there are no outsiders here. You have to accept this slap today, whether you like it or not.”

Huo Shuwen nodded in agreement. What were those two slaps? Only Ah Yi knew how much suffering she had endured back then.

It's alright, I'll ask Master Miao for the Gu poison when I get home.

"I am the Emperor's woman!"

Consort Qing covered her face and did not fight back, mainly because she was no match for him. With Huo Xiaolong standing there, who would be so foolish as to fight her?

"Are you sure about the crime of deceiving the emperor?"

Actually, He Qing isn't bad-looking, after all, she has the genes, but she doesn't take care of herself as well as He Yi, who looks so youthful and radiant.

"Sister, you should take better care of your face when you have time. You've been in the industry for so many years and you don't even have a child. Are you getting old and losing your looks and people are starting to dislike you?"

He Yi said with a smile, then turned around and left the He residence with her daughter and husband.

The father and daughter knew that He Yi didn't care about any remains today; she just wanted to vent her anger.

"Mom, did Grandma really not care about you before?"

He Yi's mother's remains were retrieved, covered in moss. With no other option, Xiao Cao bought a coffin and followed behind.

Sitting in the carriage, Huo Xiaolong leaned close to his mother and asked.

He Yi didn't answer, but just patted the girl's head and smiled, then said...

"That's not important. What's important is that your mother will take care of you and take care of you for the rest of your life."

It's enough that your mother loves you; why bring up the past?

Her mother didn't know how to be a mother, but she did.

Her mother wasn't capable of providing a good life, but she was.

"Hehe, my mom is the best."

The man beside her took her hand and smiled slightly at her.

All hardships have been overcome, and the morning sun shines brightly; this is good enough.
