After hearing Shen Ningyuan's words, Xie Wanzhou frowned slightly.
Then, he spoke softly to me, "When my legs were first crippled, I also lost my mother. The eunuchs pushed the wheelchair in front of me, but I resisted."
"I never imagined that Xie Wanzhou would need a wheelchair to walk one day."
After hearing this, Shen Ningyuan felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart.
"Then what?" Shen Ningyuan asked softly.
"I lived like a piece of dead meat in the hall for a year."
"Then in the end, how did you convince yourself to sit in a wheelchair?" Shen Ningyuan asked again.
"A year later, my master came and told me sternly that if I didn't pull myself together and accept the reality, I wouldn't be able to stop my mother's grave from being dug up in the future."
Shen Ningyuan raised an eyebrow, "Your master's words are really interesting. Who would dare to dig the tomb of the heir of a great country?"
"Someone dares." Xie Wanzhou sneered at the doctor, "I didn't expect she would actually dare."
"Who is it?"
"My master." Xie Wanzhou smiled bitterly.
Shen Ningyuan: "..."
After hearing the answer, Shen Ningyuan didn't know what to say for a moment.
She really didn't expect that Xie Wanzhou's master would dig up the tomb of the late queen in order to cheer him up.
"Did she really dig it?" Shen Ningyuan continued to ask.
Xie Wanzhou nodded, "Yes, she really dug up my mother's grave."
"What happened next? You ended up in a wheelchair?"
Xie Wanzhou nodded and said, "Sit on it."
"Do you hate your master?"
"No." Xie Wanzhou shook his head, "But I haven't spoken to her for a year."
"If it were me, I wouldn't talk to her either."
"My master is my mother's sister, and can be considered my aunt. I can't hate her forever. After all, she is doing this for my own good."
"I see."
Xie Wanzhou did not respond, and Shen Ningyuan tactfully did not ask any further questions.
The two of them didn't speak a word along the way.
Within the silent palace walls, the only sound that could be heard was the rolling of wheelchairs.
When they were almost at the palace gate, Shen Ningyuan suddenly asked, "If you hate wheelchairs so much, why do you keep sitting?"
"Maybe, it's because I'm used to it." Xie Wanzhou said lightly.
Then, Xie Wanzhou pointed to the palace gate and said, "Madam Shen is already waiting for you."
When Shen Ningyuan looked up, she saw Cui Jin standing at the palace gate, waiting for her quietly.
“I won’t go over there, you take Madam Shen back.”
"good."
After the two separated, Shen Ningyuan walked towards the palace gate.
At this time, Cui Jin had been waiting for a long time, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Chen Ningyuan appear.
"Mother, what did the Queen Mother tell you?"
"Nothing, just a few words of family talk."
That's what she said, but from Cui Jin's tone, Shen Ningyuan knew it was more than just a few casual words.
Afterwards, Cui Jin also asked, "The person who just came with you was His Highness Wanzhou, right?"
Shen Ningyuan nodded, "It's him."
"you……"
Cui Jin was surprised and became more and more curious about when Shen Ningyuan and Xie Wanzhou came into contact.
"Mom, I know what you want to ask, but now is not the time to ask these questions. We can talk about it later when there is a time."
"If you don't want to talk, then Mother won't ask any more questions."
Cui Jin patted Shen Ningyuan's hand and said, "Mother knows that you are sensible and won't do anything reckless."
"Mom, when you go back, be careful of Cui Mingzhu. She's also a fake."
Cui Jin nodded, "I know, I will be more careful."
Having said that, Cui Jin got on the carriage back to the Shen family.
Strangely, Cui Jin didn't ask much about the real Cui Mingzhu.
Perhaps, with my mother's keen sense, she has already guessed something.
Thinking of this, Shen Ningyuan took a deep breath and was about to get on the carriage back to the Ji family.
"Young Madam, wait a moment!"
Shen Ningyuan stopped and looked back.
Then I saw the young eunuch beside the emperor running towards this side, panting.
Looking closely, the young eunuch was holding an imperial edict in his hand.
The young eunuch came to Shen Ningyuan and said in a shrill voice: "Young Madam, this is the imperial edict from His Majesty to the Ji family. He asked me to take the imperial edict and go back to the Ji family with you to read it out."
"Imperial edict?" Shen Ningyuan was surprised.
He seemed very surprised that this imperial edict would follow him back to the Ji family.
Your Majesty, what is going on?
"Well, thank you for your help, sir." Shen Ningyuan said a few words politely.
The young eunuch was also very polite, "Young Madam, you are too polite."
Afterwards, the group headed towards the Ji family in a mighty manner.
At the same time, the Ji family was in chaos.
A few days after Chen sent Madam Ji back to the old house, the old lady said something in front of the clan members in the old house. At the instigation of Madam Ji, a group of people came to the Ji family in a threatening manner.
At first, when Chen heard the noise outside, she thought that the emperor had sent someone to bring Ji Zehai back.
So he took his servant and excitedly went to open the door.
But unexpectedly, as soon as the door opened, he saw the clan members of the old house, surrounding Madam Ji and standing outside the door.
Chen's face jumped. Why did the old lady bring the clansmen from the old house here?
And judging by their behavior, it's obvious that they have no good intentions.
