And that Xiao family member, she's a madwoman with no humanity.

Madam Shen felt that everyone living under the same roof was dirty, and she was so angry that she couldn't sleep anymore. She grabbed her butcher knife, ran to the room where she usually exercised, and started hacking at a wooden post.

This Prime Minister's residence is utterly rotten. How could she be so foolish as to place her children and grandchildren in such a wretched place?

Because of this guilt, she was listless the next day.

Li Suihuan felt sorry for her grandmother, "Didn't you sleep well? How about I call a doctor for you?"

Looking at her filial and intelligent granddaughter, Madam Shen felt even more heartbroken.

Such a good child, yet she bears the surname Li. Her reputation has already been affected by Li Chenghai's scandal. If Li Heng's dirty secrets are exposed, her granddaughter will likely be picked over by others.

It was even used by Li Heng as a stepping stone for the prosperity of his family.

Thinking about all this, Madam Shen began to doubt for the first time whether it was right for her to stay in the Prime Minister's residence all these years.

She always felt that she had given so much to the Li family, and that the Li family's achievements should be half of her children's and grandchildren's. But what if the Li family would bring trouble to her children and grandchildren?

However, when she met Ye Zhen, she still told him everything about Xie Jinyao and Li Xiangguo.

Despite having witnessed the absurdities of Liu Shi and Ye Zhengqing, Ye Zhen was still taken aback by Xie Jinyao's outrageous actions.

"No wonder Xie Jinyao, a young woman, dared to tell others that she was pregnant; so that's what she was planning."

Li Chenghai was infertile, so she didn't believe Xie Jinyao when she said she was pregnant. Little did she know that Xie Jinyao wanted to have Li Xiangguo's child.

Li Xiangguo's eldest grandson is already as old as Xie Jinyao...

Her willingness to go to such lengths further proves that their guess was correct: Li Xiangguo harbored ambitions to usurp the country and had taken action.

However, one thing made Ye Zhen suspicious: given Xie Tingzhou's nature of caring for the people, it was impossible for him to ignore Li Xiangguo's rebellion and only care about reviving her.

Perhaps, as Xie Tingzhou said, Xie Jinyao's memories are incomplete, only she herself is unaware of it...

Madam Shen, unaware of Ye Zhen's thoughts, asked, "Princess, could this matter not be made public?"

She didn't want Ye Zhen to use such a shameful act against Li Heng.

This would implicate her children and grandchildren, but she considered Ye Zhen a close friend, so she spoke frankly about her true thoughts.

Ye Zhen understood her concerns and nodded, "Okay, I promise you."

Thinking of what Prime Minister Li had done, she asked again, "If Prime Minister Li was also involved in your daughter's affairs, what would you, Madam, do?"
