Chapter 707 Grandma's Identity Exposed
Grandma Wang had known this day would come, and even thought it was already too late.

After the Duke and Duchess of Anguo bothered her that time, they never appeared in front of her again, nor did anyone else come to see her or try to investigate her behind her back. Old Madam Wang knew that they must have done something.

Whether it was guilt, indifference, or some other messy predicament, Grandma Wang didn't care much and just lived her own little life.

She didn't even bother to cultivate a team behind the scenes; she was content with just a few reliable connections and having Qin Huai's people at her beck and call.

She was fast asleep when the door was suddenly knocked on. The gatekeeper, seeing two rows of golden-armored guards outside, nearly wet himself in fright.

"Sir, you've come so late at night, is there...is there something you need?" The doorman's voice trembled with fear. He thought he should send another quick-witted person to answer, but when he turned around, he saw that the doorman was paralyzed with fear on the ground.

They weren't very knowledgeable and had never seen Golden Armor Guards before, but in Wanning City, Golden Armor Guards usually appeared during raids and massacres. They could guess their identities just by looking at their gleaming golden armor.

Before they could think further, the leader coldly said, "The Empress Dowager has decreed that the grandmother of Lady Yuxiang be summoned to the palace for an audience. Act immediately without delay and go quickly to fetch her!"

Upon hearing the word "please," the gatekeeper was no longer so afraid. He touched his cold neck and ran inside to make the call.

Grandma Wang was woken up by the nanny who was serving her. Old Wang was sleeping well, not snoring or grinding his teeth, and was not woken up either.

"Should we wake the old master?" the nanny asked from the side.

"No need. You can't enter the palace. Just tell him when he wakes up."

"Yes."

After a quick wash, amidst the gazes of the servants and her daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law who had been woken up, Old Mrs. Wang raised her head slightly and walked toward the golden-armored guards.

When I turned around, everyone was still staring at me expectantly, their eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.

Grandma Wang waved her hand, as casually as ever: "Go back to sleep."

Seeing her mother-in-law so calm, Liu thought that her mother-in-law should be able to handle it. Even if her mother-in-law couldn't handle it, they certainly couldn't either. So she went to greet the others.

Now, in this courtyard, she is an elder who can be trusted, so no one said much and they all left.

Surrounded by golden-armored guards, Old Madam Wang raised her hand to cover a yawn, and then very naturally followed the gap they had left to walk towards the sedan chair parked in the middle.

She stepped onto the sedan chair using a stool, and only after the curtain was lowered did a stern, authoritative voice come from inside: "Wake me up when we get close."

The golden-armored guards remained silent. The leader simply bowed to the sedan chair, then made a gesture to start the journey, and carried the person to the inner palace.

Ayu couldn't stay up all night, so she slept under the Empress Dowager's arrangement. She originally thought that her grandmother would not arrive until the next day, and she slept soundly in the space.

As dawn approached, Old Madam Wang arrived at the inner palace amidst the hurried steps of the golden-armored guards.

Someone asked the Empress Dowager, "Should we wake up Prince Yuxiang?"

The Empress Dowager shook her head: "That girl is still growing, so don't call her. Take her over first and let me see her."

She needed to confirm her thoughts, fearing that with the young girl present, she might not be able to control the situation. "Yes."

Tuanzi had been listening to the commotion and knew that it was Old Mrs. Wang who had arrived. Seeing that there was nothing else going on, she didn't wake Ayu up and just let her sleep a little longer.

The child is at a crucial stage of growth and shouldn't be overthinking; he should get some rest.

Over here, Old Madam Wang was awakened, and the person who opened the curtain was now a well-trained palace maid.

Without looking away, they brought warm water and clean cloths for Old Mrs. Wang to wash her face and hands.

She stretched out her hand, her movements natural and elegant, without the slightest impropriety, as if she had done it a thousand times, making it a standard gesture.

Seeing her demeanor and bearing, the palace maids, who were already unsure of her background, dared not be negligent and served her even more meticulously, for fear of offending this mysterious noblewoman.

The Empress Dowager, however, was somewhat restless. She kept glancing outside but didn't allow anyone to ask her anything. She just kept drinking her tea, which was almost cold.

Suddenly, a voice came from outside: "Wang Zhangshi, the grandmother of Yuxiangjun, requests an audience with the Empress Dowager."

The Empress Dowager placed her right hand on the armrest, leaned forward, and blurted out, "Please come in quickly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an elderly woman with a straight back stepped into the heavy doorway.

After taking a few more steps, he bowed to the Empress Dowager in a commoner's manner.

When she raised her head, a faint smile was already on her lips, and she said, word by word, "This humble woman, Wang Zhangshi, pays her respects to Your Majesty the Empress Dowager."

bang-

The Empress Dowager's teacup fell onto the carpet, and the lid rolled a long way off.

Her hands trembled as she stood up, but she could barely move.

"Your Majesty the Empress Dowager!" The maid tried to help the Empress Dowager up, but she broke free of her grasp.

The Empress Dowager took a deep breath, concealing her lapse in composure, and said to the group, "You may all leave now."

After everyone had dispersed, the Empress Dowager practically ran to Old Madam Wang's side.

"Little Yaoguang, is that you?" The Empress Dowager took Old Madam Wang's hand, looked at her obviously aged face, and her voice trembled uncontrollably, "Where have you been all these years?"

Grandma Wang's expression remained unchanged, but her eyes reddened as she called out, "Sister Qin."

Upon hearing this long-unheard address, the Empress Dowager could no longer hold back, and a tear fell down her cheek, landing on the back of Old Mrs. Wang's hand.

"You naughty girl! You're such a naughty girl! How could you not send a single letter or leave a single word!"
