The Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple and the Jingzhao Prefecture began to investigate. Gao Zhijun and Huo Jinqian were also very busy because Gao Zhijun's birthday was coming soon.
Murong Yuanbo wanted to hold a family reunion party before his daughter's birthday, and then a big birthday party for his daughter, because that was her coming-of-age ceremony.
On the day of the family reunion banquet, as Murong Yuanbo's mother, Mrs. Murong had to come back.
"Old Madam, when you go back this time, you must not make the prince angry. Look, he has left you in the old house and ignored you for so many years."
The personal nanny beside Madam Murong advised.
Although the old lady had not participated in the incident that harmed the young lady, the person who harmed her was from her family. Because of this incident, the prince sent the old lady back to the old house and ignored her.
The prince was once a small general, but now he is a prince with a noble status. If the old lady can admit her mistakes, she can return to the palace to live.
Although the prince had not shortchanged them in food, clothing and other expenses over the years, the old lady of the noble family next to them looked down on Madam Murong and refused to speak to her.
"It's all because of that money-loser. If it weren't for her, Yuan'er wouldn't have treated me like this."
Old Madam Murong said angrily.
She was just a money-loser, dead and done with. But her beloved son, for her sake, took his anger out on his family, executed his niece, and alienated her from her family.
"Old lady, wait a minute, when we get to the palace, don't say that. The prince dotes on the young lady. If you say that again, the prince will be angry with you. What if he sends you back to the old house? The old ladies and ladies there look down on you, and they won't get close to you. Old lady, do you still want to go back to that kind of life? Listen to the advice of this old servant, go back and get along well with the young lady, and the prince will keep you in the capital, in the palace, and live a life of luxury, isn't it? Besides, the young lady is now successful and has been named a princess. Her status is higher than yours, and she is also favored by the emperor. This will bring honor to the palace, to the Murong family, and to you, old lady. Isn't that great? Think about it, when those old ladies in the capital see you, old lady, they will be respectful and fawn on you."
The personal nanny persuaded Madam Murong again and brainwashed her.
Life in the old house was hard, and the servants like them had to suffer with them.
There was the prosperity of the capital, with good food and clothing. She really didn't know what the old lady was thinking. She would give up the glory and wealth of the capital and insist on making trouble and getting angry with the prince. They were mother and son, connected by blood, and the closest people.
"Why should I bow my head and get along with that money-loser? Because of her, my son turned away from me, my niece died young, my family was bullied by my son, and my two grandsons disown me. If you want me to get along with her, forget it!"
Old Madam Murong said angrily.
Before she gave birth to that money-losing child, her two precious grandsons were attached to her and her son was filial to her.
After giving birth to a money-losing thing, they all cared about loving the money-losing thing, and neither of their two grandsons liked to stick to her.
Isn't it all because of your mischief? If you treat the young lady better, how could the prince and the two young masters turn against you? The personal nanny thought to herself.
She was the old lady's maid who came with her as a dowry and had been serving her for decades. She knew the old lady's character very well, and she was a little bit biased towards boys.
She forgot that she was also a woman and was often not welcomed in the mansion when she was young. Her brothers from her mother's family disliked her even more because they only cared about their own interests.
It was because of General Murong's family background that the old lady arranged for him to marry into the family. She kept exploiting General Murong and only then did she become the Minister of Taichang Temple.
The old lady was confused, giving in to her two brothers in everything. Her eldest brother wanted to marry his daughter into the general's mansion, marrying her to Murong Yuanbo, but was rejected by General Murong. Then he encouraged the old lady to bring his cousin into the mansion and let her cultivate a relationship with Master Murong Yuanbo. Wasn't this a disguised way of wanting to marry into the general's mansion? At that time, Master Murong had already married Liu Ningchu, the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Revenue.
The old lady ignored General Murong's objection and insisted on bringing her niece into the general's mansion, which gave the cousin the opportunity to kill the young master's child.
The cousin was ruthless and wanted to kill not only the young lady but also the two young masters. However, the old lady was blind and unable to see the true face of her family. She had always opposed the young masters, which was why she was sent to the old house. Ostensibly for recuperation, she was actually imprisoned.
"Old Madam, listen to my advice. You are old now. If you are sent back to the old house, you will be alone. Don't you want to enjoy your old age and have grandchildren?"
The personal nanny continued to persuade the old lady helplessly.
She didn't want the old lady to be miserable in her old age, and she didn't want her to make mistakes and regret it for the rest of her life.
After decades of living together, the old lady is like her relative.
The words of the personal nanny touched her heart.
I am old and don’t have many years left to live, so of course I hope my son is by my side and can be filial to me. I also hope that my grandson will be around me and I can live a happy life with him.
"Lamei, you're right. At your age, you should be at home enjoying the company of your grandchildren."
Mrs. Wei compromised at this moment.
I have lived in the old house for ten years and have always felt lonely and missed my son and grandson very much.
However, her son and grandson treated her as an enemy and were unwilling to go back to see her, not even during the Chinese New Year.
"For the sake of my son and grandson, I'll try to get along well with...my granddaughter?"
Old Madam Murong was defeated by the desire in her heart and finally compromised.
"Old Madam, the prince and the two young masters are very proud of this."
Lamei breathed a sigh of relief, for she was afraid that the old lady would be conservative and unwilling to compromise.
