Chapter 932
Madam Qu's eyes darted around, avoiding Qu Ling's gaze.
This child in front of me is also the one I carried for ten months before giving birth to!
Although Qu Ling was a daughter, Madam Qu had put a lot of effort into raising her. She even spoiled her before she got married, fearing that she would suffer after marriage.
Thinking of this, Madam Qu's gaze hardened: "Ling'er, ask yourself honestly, in the past ten years or so, have I ever mistreated you?"
What aspect of your life—food, clothing, and daily necessities—isn't the best?
Go out and ask any girl your age, how many of them live as freely as you?
As a mother, she has already done so much for Qu Ling, what more could Qu Ling possibly want?
As her daughter, I naturally have to be responsible for her future.
"Besides, isn't your aunt still in the palace? Your aunt and I are sisters. With her around, what grievances can you suffer?"
"Speaking of which, if I hadn't sent you to the palace, would you be enjoying your current prestige? The treasures in the palace are things you can't even see outside!"
Take this tea, for example. Madam Qu was amazed by its exquisite taste after taking a sip, but Qu Ling didn't even raise an eyebrow, clearly having already gotten used to it.
Madam Qu was almost convinced when she saw Qu Ling's gaze suddenly turn cold.
"Everything in the palace is wonderful, so why didn't you go to the palace back then, Mother?" Qu Ling said coldly. "Wasn't it you who was supposed to go to the palace back then?"
Madam Qu's expression changed.
"But your mother already had someone she liked at the time, and she encouraged your aunt to go to the palace so that she could be with your father forever, right?"
At that time, Consort Jing was also heartbroken because of Huo Yue's affair, and after being told this by Madam Qu, she entered the palace in a daze.
Seeing Madam Qu's expression change drastically, Qu Ling couldn't help but sneer: "So, Mother sent me in here now, firstly to give herself more security in the future, and secondly to make up for the guilt she felt towards Aunt back then, right?"
As sisters, Lady Qu stabbed Consort Jing in the back so deeply. It's likely that even though the two never said anything to each other in public, one must have harbored resentment and the other unease in private all these years.
Madam Qu was completely speechless.
She never imagined that Qu Ling would know about such a past event.
"...Where did you hear these things?"
“Of course, it was my aunt who told me,” Qu Ling stared intently at Madam Qu, “My aunt harbors a deep-seated grudge against you, Mother.”
My aunt was overjoyed to hear that my mother was having a hard time.
Mrs. Qu clenched her fists tightly.
If she could have imagined that such beautiful feelings would turn out like this, she would rather have entered the palace.
She never dared to hope for the emperor's heart, and she would not be sad once she entered the palace.
If only I had known...
Madam Qu closed her eyes briefly.
When she opened her eyes again after a moment, they were clear: "Ling'er, no matter what, now that you're in the palace, don't think about those things anymore. Just focus on doing your job well."
Qu Ling scoffed, "My duty? My mother didn't fulfill her duties as a daughter or an older sister, and now she's demanding things of me? What kind of logic is that?"
"I am your mother! How dare you speak to me like that!"
Qu Ling smiled silently: "I'm tired, Madam Qu, let's go back."
Mother?
Does someone like Madam Qu deserve to be a mother?
If Madam Qu tries to use her status as her mother to pressure her, then she will use her status as a concubine to pressure her back!
Now, she is the ruler, and Lady Qu is the subject!
Madam Qu stared at her blankly, unable to recover for a long time. In the end, she didn't even know how she left.
——
The conversation between the mother and daughter did not reach outside the palace gates.
