This scene also fell into the eyes of the lady.
The lady frowned, thinking that Lady Mu was too cruel. Chu Qianhuang had called her grandmother for so many years and had always been filial to her. Besides, the matter of exchanging children had nothing to do with Chu Qianhuang.
"Sister Huang, come here." The lady waved at Chu Qianhuang and said softly, "This has nothing to do with you. Aunt Jiang is asking for trouble."
The moment the lady's hand grasped Chu Qianhuang's, the tears in Chu Qianhuang's eyes finally couldn't be controlled and slid down her cheeks.
The lady wiped Chu Qianhuang's tears with a handkerchief, and her voice became more loving, "Don't worry, grandma is here, she will make the decision for you."
Chu Qianhuang cried even harder.
The lady looked at Shen and said in a tone of admonition: "Azhi, I will let you punish Jiang Minshan however you want. But when it comes to my sister Huang, I have to say something to you."
"You raised Sister Huang, and the grace of raising her is greater than the grace of giving birth to her. How can you completely ignore the mother-daughter relationship?"
The lady really couldn't understand Shen. Was the mother-daughter relationship between her and Chu Qianhuang for more than ten years fake? Chu Qianhuang was excellent in everything, so she was chosen by the queen to be the princess's companion. But what did Chu Qianchen have to show for it? He was just good at scheming and pleasing others!
"Grandma..." Chu Qianhuang's tears fell even more violently, her voice choked and hoarse, and she couldn't sob.
Shen looked at Chu Qianhuang, whose face was covered in tears. Her graceful face was expressionless, and she said indifferently, "You have always been unwilling for me to take care of her. That's perfect. From now on, I will no longer take care of you."
Chu Qianhuang's eyes widened, her face paled even more, and she said in a trembling voice: "Mom, you will always be my mom."
"I don't deserve it." Shen's eyes were cold.
Chu Qianhuang felt as if she had been stabbed again, her body was shaky and her teeth were clenched tightly.
The lady looked at Shen with a reproachful look, but Shen remained as still as a mountain.
She looked at Chu Qianhuang and said, "I raised you all by myself. From a hungry baby to a beautiful young lady, I have always regarded you as my pride."
"But what about you? What do you think?"
Shen didn't mention how Chu Qianhuang instigated Chu Qianling to target Chu Qianchen, nor how Chu Qianhuang intended to protect Aunt Cui. She only talked about the most recent incident: "What did you add to the benzoin I often use?"
Shen's expression was extremely calm, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.
"..." Chu Qianhuang's eyes wandered.
Shen continued, "Because you don't want to go to Shangde Academy, and because you think I'm blocking your way, so you want me to be sick and make way for you, is that right?"
"In that case, I will completely give way to you."
She is not her biological mother, and she cannot control her. Just let them live their own lives from now on.
The wife of Duke Mu had just learned about this, and her expression changed again. She looked at Chu Qianhuang in disbelief.
She actually secretly drugged her daughter! !
In an instant, all the sympathy that Lady Mu had for Chu Qianhuang disappeared.
Nanny Chen also had a complicated expression. She and Shen had never discussed this issue directly, but she had vaguely guessed it, but she just didn't want to believe it.
"Mom, it's not like that!" Chu Qianhuang wanted to defend herself, but Shen didn't want to listen.
Shen stood up and said to Lady Mu and Chu Qianchen, "Mother, Sister Chen, the rain has stopped, let's go."
Just as Shen said, the thunderstorm outside had stopped.
Only a few raindrops were left dripping along the eaves. The air after the rain was exceptionally fresh, and the lush branches and leaves became even greener.
The wife of Duke Mu and Chu Qianchen both stood up and said goodbye to the lady in a lukewarm manner.
The three of them walked out of the main hall. Chu Qianhuang wanted to chase them, but she didn't. She knelt down again and shouted, "Mom!"
Her cry was so heart-wrenching, but Shen did not stay or look back, and walked straight out of the main hall.
Chu Qianhuang was still kneeling on the ground, staring blankly at the backs of Shen and Chu Qianchen as they left.
This scene overlapped with the memories in her dream.
It was the same in the dream. Shen abandoned her and chose Chu Qianchen, and they left without any regrets.
Only she became a joke.
Chu Qianhuang's eyes were filled with panic, and she didn't know for a moment whether she was in a dream or in reality. She subconsciously tapped her fingertips, and the pain from her fingertips told her that this was reality!
Things have finally come to this! "Sister Huang." Seeing Chu Qianhuang helpless, the lady felt so distressed that she signaled Nanny Wang to help Chu Qianhuang up.
She walked slowly to Chu Qianhuang, hugged her granddaughter affectionately, and patted her shoulder, "Don't worry, you still have your grandmother. Grandma won't be as cruel as your mother. Grandma will definitely help you!"
The lady felt sad again that Shen was too cruel.
"Grandma," Chu Qianhuang slowly turned her head to look at the old lady. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and her eyes were dull and lifeless. "The benzoin was just added with cinnabar, which will make people weak..."
"I just wanted to contribute to the family, but my mother insisted on her own way and refused to let me enter the palace as a companion. She also wanted to send me to Shangde Academy. However, my father injured his leg and lost his job. Our Chu family is getting worse and worse..."
"I am the eldest daughter of the Chu family. I cannot help but think about the Chu family..."
She simply added cinnabar to the benzoin, and a small amount of cinnabar would only make people tired and exhausted.
She didn't want to hurt Shen. She just wanted to make Shen lose her spirit so that she would have no energy to take care of her.
The current development just proves that everything she did was not wrong.
What's wrong with her paving the way for herself? !
She didn't want to be an abandoned child who was ignored by everyone like in her dream. She didn't want to end up like in her dream!
"Sister Huang," the lady felt even more sorry for her and took her hand to sit beside her. "Grandmother understands you."
Chu Qianhuang is the eldest granddaughter whom the Dowager has loved since she was a child. The relationship between the grandmother and granddaughter is special. Among so many girls in the Marquis' Mansion, Chu Qianhuang is the granddaughter that the Dowager loves the most.
"Your mother is possessed by a demon and is also confused by anger."
Chu Qianhuang buried her face in the lady's shoulder, tears falling again, like a wronged child who finally found his relatives and burst into tears.
She couldn't stop crying and her body was shaking.
She looked weeping, but she was surprisingly calm inside.
Fortunately, she had never counted on the Shen family.
Ever since she traveled to this world and experienced everything in her dream, she had never counted on the Shen family.
Shen only cares about blood ties, and in her heart, only the child she gave birth to is her daughter.
In the dream, Shen abandoned her once; now, Shen abandoned her again when she needed her most.
She had done nothing to feel sorry for Shen. It was Shen who was cold and indifferent, and it was also Shen who abandoned her.
Chu Qianhuang glanced outside the hall, but could no longer see Shen, Chu Qianchen and the other two outside.
When the wind blew, the trees in the courtyard swayed in the wind, and the raindrops on the branches and leaves fell down, as if it had started another drizzle.
“Huahuahua…”
Chu Qianchen, who followed Shen into the carriage, was blown by some rain, and a small patch of his hair got wet.
"Sister Chen, let me wipe it for you." Shen personally used a handkerchief to wipe the water droplets from Chu Qianchen's temples with gentle movements.
She was actually not as calm as she appeared, and her fingers were trembling uncontrollably.
Chu Qianchen pretended not to see it and looked at Shen gently.
Soon, Dongmei and others, who had packed their things, arrived, and two carriages drove out of the corner gate of the marquis' mansion one after the other.
For Shen, this time when she left the Marquis' Mansion, she had a different feeling than the last time.
Last time, she took Chu Qianhuang and Chu Yunmu away with her, but this time, she left Chu Qianhuang behind, forever... as if she had cut a piece of meat from her body.
It hurts so much.
However, there are some things she must face and some people she must abandon.
After Shen helped Chu Qianchen wipe, she withdrew her hand, holding the slightly damp handkerchief in her hand, and asked, "Sister Chen, why?"
Why stop her from opening the ancestral hall? ! Lady Mu Guogong also looked at Chu Qianchen curiously.
Shen was puzzled. Lady Mu, the Duke's wife, was more sensitive to state affairs and she immediately understood that Chu Qianchen was concerned about the balance between Prince Chen's Mansion and the Emperor.
Seeing that Shen's lips were dry, Chu Qianchen personally poured her a cup of warm flower tea, "Mom, drink tea."
Chu Qianchen's expression and mood were extremely calm; his eyes were as clear and bright as the blue sky after the rain.
For her, finding the truth is enough. Other things are not urgent. She must put the prince first.
The emperor arranged for her to marry the prince with ill intentions, intending to humiliate the prince with her, a concubine's daughter.
On the day when the two emperors came to He Hong, she and the prince had already slapped the emperor in the face. This was an unexpected variable for the emperor. The emperor must have been dissatisfied with himself.
If she were to become a legitimate daughter from a concubine's daughter, even though the Yongding Marquis's Mansion would not be able to be made public, it would be equivalent to slapping the emperor in the face again. The emperor was suspicious and might doubt whether this marriage was arranged by the prince, so the emperor would most likely take further action.
She knew that the prince was not afraid of the emperor, and she was not afraid of the emperor either. However, she had finally managed to get the prince's body back in shape, and she was about to heal him, so there could not be any changes.
It doesn't matter whether it's legitimate or illegitimate, it's just a title.
She just needs to know whose daughter she is.

Chu Qianchen tilted his head and smiled at Shen, the faint dimple on his lips was well-behaved, playful, and sweet.
That's right. Shen blinked slowly, and after thinking carefully, she came to her senses.
She didn't know about Gu Jue's injury, so she just thought that Chu Qianchen wanted her because of the arranged marriage, but she didn't expect that her life experience had irritated the emperor.
Shen felt even more distressed for Chu Qianchen. At such a young age, she had to spend so much time and effort to consider so many things. If it were another girl at this age, she would still be spoiled by her mother at her parents' home.
"But..." Shen was extremely conflicted. She didn't want to cause trouble for her daughter, but she couldn't bear the fact that her daughter had to bear the label of a concubine.
Chu Qianchen patted Shen's hand soothingly, "Mom, there's no rush. Let's wait until Chu Lingxiao comes back from the northwest."
Shen: “…”
Shen always felt that Chu Qianchen's words were meaningful. Could it be that Chu Lingxiao's work in the northwest could have any problems? Could it be that her daughter heard something from Prince Chen? !
Thinking that this was a court matter, Shen did not dare to ask.
She moved her lips and asked cautiously, "Sister Chen, how are you doing in the palace?"
Chu Qianchen pursed her lips and smiled, the smile spreading from the corners of her lips to the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, as intoxicating as the spring breeze in March, and making people's hearts soften when looking at her.
Shen's heart softened into water, and there was also a hint of pain.
Over the past ten years, Chu Qianchen had not lived well in the Marquis' Mansion, and he rarely saw her smile like this. Now that she had escaped from the Marquis' Mansion, she could smile so happily, so carefree, and so joyful.
“Sister Chen, it’s all mother’s fault.” Shen tightly grasped Chu Qianchen’s hand and said distressedly, “Your life in the Marquis’ Mansion was too hard before…”
A girl should have the most comfortable time at her parents' home, but the memories left by the Chu family to Chu Qianchen were not good ones.
And all this is because of her negligence as a mother...
Of course, Shen didn't want Chu Qianchen to live in the shadow of the Chu family from now on, so she comforted him, "You should live a good life with the prince in the palace in the future. I also saw that day that the prince treats you well."
Prince Chen is different from Chu Lingxiao. He will definitely see the good in Chu Qianchen and remember the good in Chu Qianchen.
Her sister Chen will suffer first but will eventually enjoy happiness, and her life will surely get better and better.
Chu Qianchen saw that Shen had misunderstood, so he did not explain. Instead, he followed Shen's words and advised: "Mom, you can live a happier life after leaving Yongding Marquis Mansion."
Why would you sacrifice your whole life just to fight with a scumbag? "..." Shen didn't respond.
Chu Qianchen knew that Shen was still being stubborn, so he stopped trying to persuade her.
Anyway, it will take some time before Chu Lingxiao returns to Beijing, so she can try to persuade him slowly later.
She smiled and said, "Mom..."
Before he could finish his words, the carriage they were riding in suddenly stopped, accompanied by the uneasy neighing of the horses.
There was a commotion on the street outside, as if there were a lot of people gathered together. The noisy voices of people, horses, and wheels of cars could be heard coming in, making it chaotic and messy.
Nanny Chen asked the driver, "What's wrong?"
The driver outside replied, "The Jinyiwei are arresting people ahead. They have stopped all the carriages along the way and are searching them one by one."
The people in the carriage looked at each other.
The noise outside was getting louder and louder. The streets were full of people. Carriages and passers-by were stuck on the road, unable to move forward or backward. People from the restaurants and shops on both sides of the street came out to watch the fun.
The coachman could only pull the carriage aside temporarily, stop it on the side of the road, and look forward a little restrainedly.
Up ahead, a dozen Jinyiwei dressed in bright red flying fish uniforms and equipped with embroidered spring swords were searching several carriages. Each of them was tall and strong, with a stern face, and those whose carriages were searched could only accept their bad luck.
When the Jinyiwei asked them to get off the carriage, they got off; when the Jinyiwei asked them to search them, they let them do it; when the Jinyiwei asked them to take them away, they did not dare to say "no".
The onlookers pointed at the carriages being searched. Some asked who the Jinyiwei were looking for; some felt sorry for the people who were unlucky; some said the Jinyiwei were too domineering...
As soon as the word "domineering" came out of his mouth, the other people around him took several steps back, fearing to be associated with this person who had no control over his words.
The Jinyiwei were naturally domineering. Since Emperor Taizu established the Jinyiwei, they were not only the emperor's eyes and ears, but also a sharp sword in the emperor's hand. They could arrest anyone, including the emperor's relatives. No civil or military official in the court dared to offend the Jinyiwei! These ordinary people were naturally afraid of the Jinyiwei like a tiger.
Soon, five or six of the Jinyiwei came towards the carriage of Duke Mu's mansion in a menacing manner. The general flag with a square face in the lead said arrogantly: "The Jinyiwei want to search, everyone inside, get out!"
The driver forced a smile, clasped his fists politely, and revealed the name of the Duke's Mansion: "Sir, we are from the Duke Mu's Mansion, and the one in the carriage is my Duke's wife."
Several Jinyiwei then took a closer look at the carriage, which had the emblem of Duke Mu's Mansion engraved on it.
But even so, these Jinyiwei were not moved at all.
The Jinyiwei had the power to report only to the emperor, bypassing other departments in the court. They dared to investigate the royal family, let alone the Mugong Mansion.
A narrow-eyed Jinyiwei beside the general flag coldly flicked the whip in his hand and said contemptuously: "What about the wife of Duke Mu? We Jinyiwei are doing our duty under the order of the emperor. Even if Duke Mu himself is here today, we still have to search her!"
"Not only do we need to search the car, we also need to search the body!"
"Hurry up, get everyone in the carriage off, otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!"
Under the aggressive momentum of the Jinyiwei, the driver was sweating profusely.
Now all the people on the carriage were women, especially Shen Zhi who was still ill and could not see the wind. Lady Mu, the Duke of Mu's wife, had never been shouted at and driven off a carriage in the street in her entire life.
Jiang Yuan, who was sitting next to the driver, raised his thick black eyebrows calmly. Oh, these Jinyiwei are really so powerful! The driver was hesitating whether to ask someone to go back to the mansion for help or ask the wife of Duke Mu for permission. At this moment, a slender white hand lifted a corner of the curtain.
The hand was slender, with pointed fingers and skin as white as fresh snow, as if water could be squeezed out of it if pinched. The neatly trimmed nails were pink and tender, with a soft luster like pearls.
Her hands are as soft as catkins and her skin is as smooth as cream.
The general's eyes lit up, and he stared intently at the hand that slowly lifted the curtain, revealing half of a fair face.
The young girl had a head of fluffy black hair tied up in a loose bun. The pearl flowers on her temples were inlaid with dazzling rubies, each of which was as bright and transparent as pigeon blood red, radiant and shining, making her skin look as white as snow, her black hair as black as ink, and her eyes like stars.
Her facial features are delicate and bright, her temperament is elegant and cold, and there is a natural dignity in her look, like a rose with thorns, dazzling and dazzling.
The general was stunned and couldn't help but feel sorry for her. The girl was still young, but already a married woman. He guessed that she should be the young lady of the Duke Mu's mansion or a married girl of the Shen family.
Chu Qianchen knew that the Jinyiwei had been becoming more and more domineering over the years because the current emperor favored the Jinyiwei and placed greater emphasis on them.
It has only been a few years since the current emperor ascended the throne, and the Jinyiwei has become the most powerful guard in the court. No one dares to provoke them.
Now the Jinyiwei is obviously using chicken feathers as a token of authority! Others are afraid of the Jinyiwei, but she is not.
Chu Qianchen raised his eyebrows slightly, looked directly at the Jinyiwei general flag, and asked in a cold tone: "Do you want to search?"
The girl's voice was as sweet as a mountain stream. The general's heart warmed when he heard it, and he said with a smile: "Please forgive me, young lady. The Jinyiwei are performing their duties. Every carriage on this street must be checked!"
"But, seeing that you are all old, weak, women and children, if you are unable to move, you don't have to get off the car, and then wait for your brother to come up to find you."
There was a hint of teasing and mockery in his tone, and the Jinyiwei following behind him couldn't help but burst into laughter.
This carriage is full of women. If we really let the Embroidered Uniform Guards go up to search it, and the news gets out, the reputation of the women in Duke Mu's mansion will be ruined.
When Shen heard the Jinyiwei claiming that his brother took advantage of her daughter, she became furious and was about to explode, but was held down by Chu Qianchen.
