Chapter 749 The most ruthless imperial family
"It's all been resolved. It was all a misunderstanding..." Xie Shang hesitated to speak. He thought for a moment and said, "In fact, before my mother entered the palace, she had a childhood sweetheart, who was her cousin. They must have had a close relationship. Later, my father found out about it, and the man committed suicide to protect my mother. That's why there has been a rift between my father and my mother all these years."
He narrated the incident briefly.
Jiang Fenghua said, "It turns out that the Queen Mother is also loved by some people! I thought she had a bad temper and everyone hated her, but I didn't expect that there are people who would risk their lives to protect her."
She also started to gossip: "The Queen Mother is not happy with everyone. I wonder if she is very gentle to that cousin. After all, she has a bad relationship with your father and they are always quarreling. A woman should be very gentle when facing a man she likes!"
In Xie Shang's memory, his mother had never been gentle and she was deeply resentful of his father. Everyone in the palace knew that his mother had a bad temper and could not control her emotions.
"We can try to find out what the relationship is between Minister Shu and Concubine Chang." She already had an idea in her mind. Concubine Chang was not ugly, and if she wanted to compete for favor, she still had a chance. However, it was indeed suspicious that she moved into the West Palace at such a young age.
Minister Shu is not unrelated to Shu Xue's death. She is his niece. What kind of feelings could make Minister Shu turn a blind eye to his niece's death?
Xie Shang never thought that Concubine Chang would be involved with ministers in the court.
At this time, Xie Yang suddenly walked towards them, "I pay my respects to the Emperor and the Empress."
Jiang Fenghua said, "Didn't the Fourth Prince leave the palace? Why is he here?"
"I have come back to see my mother and ask her to help me look after Yi'er. Now Yu Rou has been imprisoned. After much thought, I can only ask my mother to leave the palace and help take care of Yi'er." He couldn't leave his mother alone in the palace, so he made up this excuse. Queen Mother Cheng had bad intentions.
Jiang Fenghua deliberately said, "Concubine Chang has lived in the palace all her life. She may not want to leave the palace. She has become accustomed to life in the palace. If the Fourth Prince is at ease, he can send Princess Yi to the West Palace. Anyway, she has to study with everyone every day, so it would be troublesome for the Prince to send her back and forth. And what the Fourth Princess said in the Golden Palace not only affects the adults, but also hurts the children."
Xie Yang paused, "So the prince still has to ask the mother. If she doesn't want to leave the palace, this is the only way."
Xie Shang said: "You go and do your work. I still have state affairs to deal with."
"I have resigned."
Xie Shang stared at Xie Yang's back as he left, and said to Jiang Fenghua, "I'm going to talk to my fourth brother, you go back first!"
Jiang Fenghua knew that Xie Shang had always been reluctant to admit that Xie Yang was the mastermind, but all suspicions pointed to Xie Yang.
She didn't expect Xie Shang to value brotherly love so much. She thought the imperial family was the most ruthless.
In fact, Xie Shang knew that the Great Zhou had once been on the verge of destruction and that all the members of the Xie family were incompetent, so he let the Great Zhou perish.

As soon as Jiang Fenghua returned to Kunning Palace, she asked Nanny Wang to ask the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to arrange a family dinner. She had been back in the palace for such a long time, and it was reasonable for her to hold a family dinner while the Empress Dowager and Prince Kang were both there.
Nanny Wang said, "Since it's a family dinner, the Queen Mother should be invited as well!"
Jiang Fenghua said: "Of course we have to invite them. We should also invite the Queen Mother Chang from the West Palace and all the concubines from the harem. It will be more lively with more people."
Nanny Wang said, "Yes, I will arrange it right away."
"Thank you for your hard work, Madam Wang." Jiang Fenghua said with a smile.
"You are too polite, my lady. This is what I am supposed to do."
As soon as Nanny Wang walked to the door, she saw Aoxue and Lin Yu coming over. "Miss Lin, you're back?"
Lin Yu said, "Madam Wang, long time no see."
Nanny Wang glanced at Aoxue, thinking about how the queen had been taken out of the palace by her and had forgotten everything after returning. She said, "It's been almost a year since we last met. I hope Miss Lin Yu is doing well!"
"All good." Lin Yu felt that Nanny Wang seemed to have something to say, and added: "I brought a gift for Nanny Wang, and I will personally deliver it to Nanny Wang's room later."
"Miss Lin Yu spent a lot of money."
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while before Nanny Wang left.
Lin Yu was popular, beautiful, and sweet-spoken. She could get along well with the palace maids and eunuchs. As soon as she came back, everyone came to her and chatted with her.
Jiang Fenghua said: "I think everyone misses Miss Lin Yu!"
The maids said, "Yes, when Miss Lin Yu was here, the palace was always full of laughter and joy. Now that Miss Lin is back, things can go back to how they were before."
"I brought gifts for everyone. Everyone has something."
After this was said, everyone was even happier, "Thank you Miss Lin."
She added: "Lian Ye, please help distribute them!"
Lian Ye said, "Where is my gift?"
"I'll give you and Hongxiu's separately."
Lian Ye went happily. Jiang Fenghua had never seen everyone so happy. Lin Yu had his own way of dealing with people.
Aoxue was feeling depressed, she knew that there must be no news about Yeying yet.
Lin Yu also knew what happened in Kunning Palace, and knew what her sister was thinking. She treated Ye Ying as a relative. "Guard Ye is very skilled in martial arts. I believe he will be fine. Don't worry too much, sister." In fact, Lin Yu didn't like Aoxue and Ye Ying being together. She hoped that they could just be friends. She hoped that Aoxue would not live a life on the edge of a knife.
This was the first time that Lin Yu called Aoxue sister. She usually looked free and uninhibited, but in fact, she was extremely thoughtful. "I came back this time because I have some news to tell you, sister."
"what news?"
"I'm together with Guo Xiao, the silly dude." Lin Yu said directly.
Jiang Fenghua was stunned, "You and Guard Guo are really together, you..."
"Nothing happened between us, everything was innocent. He has been following me and never dared to cross the line. I decided to give him a chance. I came back just to take some time to meet his parents, but I don't think his parents would agree to him marrying a woman like me." Lin Yu said.
"My sister is not only beautiful, but also very capable. Why would the Guo family look down on her? Isn't Guo Xiao just born into a better family? What is there about him that is worthy of your liking? He is neither good at literature nor martial arts. He is a complete waste." She would not agree if someone looked down on her sister.
"Don't worry. Since I have controlled the son of the Guo family, I can naturally control his parents. Don't you still believe in my ability?" Lin Yu said.
Lin Yu knew that her young master Ruan would never come back, and that being able to live happily in the palace was more important than anything else.
Xie Shang had just looked for her. He didn't want her to mention anything about her past life in front of Jiang Fenghua. Their greatest wish was that she could live a good life in this life.
There was no hostility in Jiang Fenghua's eyes after she had forgotten her hatred. In this case, let her clear all obstacles for her!
Lin Yu said in a cold voice: "I didn't know so many things happened after you returned to the palace. Someone wants to deal with the Jiang family. I won't let them go."
