Chapter 42 Queen Mother



"Dad? Why are you here too?" Tai Jingwan was very happy to see Tai Hesong.

"It's nothing. Let's go. Let's get out of here quickly." Tai Hesong said, glancing at Wei Xiuyuan who was standing next to his daughter.

For some reason, he felt that Wei Xiuyuan had bad intentions.

Now my daughter is the wife of Marquis Xuanping.

What does Wei Xiuyuan want to do?

Tai Hesong looked at Wei Xiuyuan with caution.

"Thank you General Wei for your reminder today. My sister and I will come to your house to thank you for saving our lives another day." Tai Jingwan first bowed to Wei Xiuyuan, then followed Tai Hesong.

"You have no conscience." Wei Xiuyuan felt bad as he watched the father and daughter leave.

Tai Jingwan had only taken a few steps when she saw Jiang Jinyue coming towards her.

"Sister Tai, why are you running to the back mountain? I called you all the way, but you acted like you didn't hear me." Jiang Jinyue felt relieved when she saw Tai Jingwan.

...

...

She was really scared just now. When she reacted, she hurriedly chased after him. However, maybe Tai Jingwan was too anxious and ran too fast.

She was so weak that she couldn't catch up.

"I'm fine. I'm sorry to have made Sister Jiang worried." Tai Jingwan was relieved to see that Jiang Jinyue was fine.

"Ahem!" Tai Hesong was once again ignored by his own daughter and felt very upset.

Especially when he saw Tai Jingwan and Jiang Jinyue caring about each other, he felt very uncomfortable.

"So it's Lord Tai who is here too. Nice to meet you, Lord Tai." Jiang Jinyue was startled when she saw Tai Hesong.

Oops, I was so anxious just now that I didn’t notice that the great god next to Tai Jingwan was actually Shangshu Tai.

Jiang Jinyue was still somewhat afraid of Tai Hesong. After all, since Tai Hesong could become the Minister of Personnel, he naturally had a lot of pressure on him.

"Well, Miss Jiang also came to the Gratitude Temple to burn incense." Tai Hesong nodded. Seeing that Jiang Jinyue was so worried about his daughter, he couldn't tell what he felt in his heart. After all, he thought that these two people should be in a hostile relationship, right?

The Queen Mother waited for a long time, and Eunuch Liu beside her was getting very anxious. As the sun was setting, the Queen Mother showed no intention of leaving.

"Could it be that something happened to that little girl?" Thinking of how she had almost gotten into danger in the back mountain before, the Queen Mother became a little worried about Tai Jingwan's safety.

"Have the man in black in the back mountain been dealt with?" The Queen Mother asked after thinking for a while.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The man has been captured alive and his jaw has been removed. Lord Tai will question the criminal strictly later." Eunuch Liu said quickly.

"Hmph, there are many people who want to kill me." The Queen Mother sighed.

In order to support the emperor to sit on the throne, she had offended many people. Now, those people wanted to retaliate, and the empress dowager did not find it strange.

Fortunately, now that the emperor has firmly established his throne, the only thing he is still concerned about is Wei Xiuyuan's marriage.

"Empress Dowager, look, that girl is back. Hey, why is Lord Tai with her?" When Eunuch Liu wanted to say something, he saw Tai Jingwan and Tai Hesong coming back. As for Jiang Jinyue behind Tai Jingwan, Eunuch Liu automatically ignored her.

"Xiaowan." The Queen Mother called out happily when she saw Tai Jingwan.

"Madam, are your family members here too?" Tai Jingwan asked with a smile when she saw Eunuch Liu standing beside the Queen Mother.

"What old lady? Jingwan is the current Empress Dowager." Tai Hesong paused when he heard Tai Jingwan's address and quickly reminded her.

"Ah? Queen...Empress Dowager?" Tai Jingwan was also dumbfounded.

This old lady is actually the Queen Mother?

"Haven't you met the Queen Mother yet?" Tai Hesong gently pulled his daughter's sleeve and reminded her.

"Alright, alright, we're doing this in public, what kind of formalities are we performing? Are you afraid that others don't know I'm here? After all, Xiaowan is my benefactor. If it weren't for Xiaowan, what you'd be seeing now would be my corpse." The Queen Mother said with a dissatisfied look on her face.

[Great! Sister Tai finally rescued the Queen Mother in the back mountain as I expected. From now on, with the Queen Mother as Sister Tai's backer, let's see who in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion dares to bully Sister Tai. 】

Jiang Jinyue clapped her hands in satisfaction in her heart.

Tai Jingwan was also stunned when she heard Jiang Jinyue's thoughts. So why did Jiang Jinyue go to such great lengths to come to the Gratitude Temple to burn incense today? Was it actually just to ask her to save the empress dowager?

Thinking of this, Tai Jingwan would be lying if she said she wasn't moved.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I didn't recognize you. I had an appointment with my sister at home to meet in the back mountain, and I saved you by accident." Tai Jingwan quickly bowed and said embarrassedly.

"Oh? Which family is Xiaowan from?" When the empress dowager heard Tai Jingwan call herself a servant, she couldn't remember which family she was from, so she asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, this is my daughter." Tai Hesong stepped forward and said.

"So she is the daughter of Minister Tai. I was wondering why she looked so familiar. It turns out that this child just picked out the strengths of you and Menglan." The Queen Mother smiled and took Tai Jingwan's hand and said.

The look in his eyes became even more friendly.

But the Queen Mother laughed so much that she couldn't laugh anymore.

Tai Hesong's family had a daughter who was not getting married. However, if she remembered correctly, Tai Hesong's daughter had married into the Xuanping Marquis' Mansion three years ago. This marriage was arranged in exchange for the favor of the Xuanping Marquis' Mansion who had saved her in the past.

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother felt even more uncomfortable.

"I heard that Marquis Xuanping married another wife some time ago?" The Queen Mother looked at Tai Jingwan with concern and asked.

"To answer the Empress Dowager, yes." Tai Jingwan didn't know why the Empress Dowager was concerned about Gu Huaizhi's concubine.

But he still agreed. Everyone in the capital knew about this and it couldn't be hidden, so he might as well admit it openly.

"Sister Jiang is here with me today." After Tai Jingwan finished speaking, she pulled Jiang Jinyue over and said with a smile.

[Sister, thank you so much. At this time, I should have been hiding in the back. You pulled me over here because you were afraid that the Queen Mother would punish me too lightly? Woohoo...】

Jiang Jinyue mourned silently in her heart.

Tai Jingwan was stunned at first, then she realized that the Queen Mother's expression was not good, so she quickly said: "Don't be surprised, Queen Mother. Sister Jiang and I hit it off right away. It was Sister Jiang who asked me to wait for her in the back hills today, and I accidentally saved you. Speaking of which, she should have a share of the credit."

"Your servant greets the Empress Dowager." Jiang Jinyue had no choice but to quickly pay her respects to the Empress Dowager, hoping that she would not take her life.

The empress dowager was also stunned when she heard Tai Jingwan's words. Other people's wives and concubines were all afraid that others would take away their credit.

Why is Tai Jingwan afraid that others don’t know about the contribution of her second wife?

"Are you Jiang?" The Queen Mother looked at Jiang Jinyue and said.

Jiang Jinyue's heart started beating fast as she watched the empress dowager looking at her, fearing that the empress dowager would punish her in the next second.
