With just a few words, she was able to change people's hearts in the chaos and even escape the predicament that originally trapped her?
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.
Qin Wenyuan was still thinking about the comment "no promotion in more than ten years". He waved his sleeves coldly and went back to his mansion.
Qin Huaiyu looked confused.
My father was fine just now, why is he suddenly angry again?
Old Madam Qin didn't care about this at all. Her mind was all on Ling Meng who was going to join the sect in five days.
She smiled widely, revealing her twelve white teeth, and was eager to check the banknotes in the treasury.
The blood flowing in Lingmeng's body is of the same lineage as hers and Wenyuan's.
The child in her belly will definitely be the future outstanding bloodline of the Qin family!
"Let's go! Huaiyu!" Old Madam Qin said loudly, "Grandma will take you to prepare your future wife's dowry! Welcome her home!"
"Yes, grandma!" Qin Huaiyu's eyes widened, his face was full of smiles, and he couldn't help but feel happy.
On the winding road, as Sheng Yunrong gradually approached the towering palace gate, the number of pedestrians around her became increasingly sparse.
Sheng Yunrong stopped walking until there was no one around and spoke to the soldier leading her: "Sir, can you allow my adopted son and my maid to go ahead and find a place to stay? In order to study how to be a qualified mother, I have returned to the Qin Mansion without regrets. However, I can't bear to see my son wandering on the streets."
The soldier glanced at Qin Moyuan's scarred cheek on the left side and his pale face, and finally nodded: "Go."
"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!" Sheng Yunrong's eyes were filled with tears and gratitude.
She turned around and whispered to Xiang Zhu, "Xiang Zhu, take the young master to the cheapest accommodation in the east of the city. Act as soon as possible."
"Yes, Madam..." Xiang Zhu hurried away with Qin Moyuan.
Sheng Yunrong was thinking in her mind.
Since embarking on this journey, she has encountered a lot of onlookers along the way, occasionally brushing shoulders with people, and inevitably hearing some unpleasant words.
Such as -
[I forgot to give that old immortal medicine today. I hope it won’t delay his death.]
[Oh no! I forgot to take the clothes hidden under Widow Li's bed. If she finds them, she will guess that I was lurking under her bed and spying on her every night...]
[I wonder when that handsome young man will show up today? I'm still looking forward to him seeing my beauty... so that I can bring him into my arms.]
Although she had heard a lot of disorganized things, Sheng Yunrong still managed to pick out a crucial piece of information:
[In a few days, the east of the city will have a price increase announced by His Majesty. If he can profit from it now...]
A gleam of light flashed in Sheng Yunrong's eyes.
To survive in this world, money is undoubtedly indispensable.
Once someone possesses huge wealth, the wealth of other wealthy people will inevitably be redistributed in the market.
She couldn't help but wonder how long the business channels and gold, silver and treasures she had accumulated for the Qin family could last.
Especially after the introduction of an ambitious concubine.
"The palace gate is open—"
The guard at the gate announced loudly, and a magnificent sedan chair came into view.
A round-faced, amiable maid came towards Sheng Yunrong and said, "Madam Qin, please follow me."
The mounted soldier completed his mission and left quietly. Sheng Yunrong was surprised at the kindness of the maid.
The queen is so approachable?
The maid led Sheng Yunrong to the sedan chair and gently drew aside the curtain: "Madam, please come in."
Sheng Yunrong walked to the sedan chair. It looked like an ordinary sedan chair from the outside, but it was a different world inside.
The soft seat cushion and the cushions all around make people feel extremely comfortable.
Sheng Yunrong's wound will definitely not be harmed in this sedan chair.
Just gentle enjoyment.
The Queen is so considerate?
Even the details of her injury were considered so carefully?
"Madam, please sit tight." The maid smiled and lowered the curtains, then shouted from outside the sedan chair, "Open the sedan chair."
Several eunuchs lifted the sedan chair steadily and sent Sheng Yunrong to the Queen's palace step by step.
Sheng Yunrong rode in the comfortable sedan chair all the way, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.
She was just a merchant girl, and because she married a hypocritical man by mistake, she had a rough life. Apart from her adopted son Qin Moyuan, she had nothing else.
He was almost exploited to death.
However, the most noble person in the world actually cared for her so much. How could she not be moved and how could she not remember this deep affection?
Stepping into the depths of the palace, the sedan chair slowly descended, and it seemed that even the air had become softer.
Sheng Yunrong knew very well that this must be the Queen's special care, and she sent the most steadfast eunuch to support her sedan chair.
"Madam, please follow me." The maid's smile was still as sweet as honey, and every movement was filled with a pleasant and cheerful atmosphere.
This maid...
A warm feeling surged in Sheng Yunrong's heart.
I guess it was carefully selected and arranged especially for her.
Sheng Yunrong took a nervous step forward, feeling uneasy, and did not dare to face the most noble woman in the Western Wei Dynasty who had arranged everything so thoughtfully.
"You're here." The Queen's voice was gentle and solemn, so Sheng Yunrong didn't dare to look up and could only kneel down to salute.
"I, Sheng Yunrong, pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen."
The Queen was startled and hurried forward to help her up: "Please stand up quickly. There is no need to be so reserved in front of me."
[This is someone my younger brother personally asked me to take good care of. How could I let her do this to me? ]
younger brother?
A hint of suspicion flashed across Sheng Yunrong's eyes.
The Queen is the daughter of a prime minister and an only child, so how could she have a younger brother?
Although she didn't understand the details, Sheng Yunrong developed a deep respect for this "brother".
She slowly raised her head and finally came face to face with the Queen.
The Queen wore a dazzling phoenix crown and her fingernails were inlaid with bright red cardamoms, but it did not look abrupt, but instead revealed a different kind of elegance.
Her smile is just right, neither excessive nor insufficient, making people want to worship her.
She is not only the mother of the country, but also extremely gorgeous and impeccable.
Sheng Yunrong was looking at the Queen Mother carefully, and the Queen Mother was also looking at her silently.
Before the news of "the young master of the Qin family abusing brothel girls, resulting in the tragic death of two people" outside the palace spread to the palace, the emperor's younger brother hurried to the palace and begged her to protect Sheng Yunrong.
She had never seen him so flustered, let alone seen him speak incoherently for a woman.
He didn't dare let his brother know, for fear of causing unnecessary misunderstanding.
The Queen was shocked when she learned that the person he wanted to protect was a married woman who already had two sons.
She blamed her brother for not choosing someone else but falling in love with a married woman with children.
He said with tears in his eyes: "She is not living a happy life. Besides, she doesn't know that I have feelings for her. I don't want her to be troubled by this."
