[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life

Rong Enqing's mind was full of thoughts, but they were of no help to the current situation.

After a long while, she decided to tell the truth: "I don't know where the Imperial Concubine heard the news from. But I can tell you clearly that the Marquis's Mansion has not found the so-called 'treasure'.

"Some time ago, when the Marquis' Mansion was renovating the courtyard where I live, they found an abandoned ice cellar. Because the poisonous gas accumulated in the ice cellar injured the craftsmen, I stopped the renovation and sent people to investigate the ice cellar. In the end, nothing was found.

"If your majesty doesn't believe it, you can send someone to the Marquis's Mansion to check the condition of the ice cellar."

Seeing Rong Enqing's frank words, Concubine Liang couldn't help but frown. Was Rong Enqing too good at acting? Or was the news she got false? In fact, there was no such thing as a treasure?

I originally thought that with this treasure, I could help my son ascend to the throne...

A gleam of light suddenly flashed through Concubine Liang's mind, and she was immediately cheered up. She smiled and said, "Since Madam Tai said that the treasure has not been found, I will believe what Madam Tai said. However, not finding it does not mean that the treasure does not exist. Does Madam Tai agree with this?"

Rong Enqing's mouth twitched and he nodded: "Your Highness, what the Imperial Concubine said is absolutely right. But..."

Before she could finish her words, Concubine Liang continued, "It's good that the Madam agrees with this. I am not an unreasonable person. Since the Madam said that she has not found the treasure, I will not force her to hand over the treasure to me now.

"But, I need a promise from Madam Tai. If I find the treasure one day, I hope that Madam Tai can give it to me.

“Of course, I will fulfill my promise in the future and ensure that Madam and everyone she cares about is safe and sound.

"Madam, what do you think?"

Rong Enqing smiled bitterly. By the time Concubine Liang fulfilled her promise, she was afraid that she and the entire Shun'an Marquis's Mansion would be forgotten along with Daylily.

But what will be the consequences if you don’t agree?

When Rong Enqing was in a dilemma, he heard Concubine Liang suddenly say, "Two months ago, Concubine Zhou died of illness, leaving the seven-year-old princess unattended. I was soft-hearted, so I asked His Majesty to bring the little princess to my side to raise her."

Concubine Liang spoke calmly, as if she was telling a story, but Rong Enqing broke out in a cold sweat.

Sure enough, the next moment, Concubine Liang smiled and said, "I have been looking for a study partner for the little princess these days. After choosing and choosing, I still think the girl from Shun'an Marquis's Mansion is the best.

"The Madam's eldest granddaughter is called Yunluo, right? She is six years old, just the right age. I heard she is very talented in studying. She will definitely be a talented girl in the future. But her family background is not good.

"The Madam's second granddaughter is called Yunying, right? She is four years old, a little young. But she is the Madam's only legitimate granddaughter. Her family background is excellent. Although her appearance is damaged, don't I have medicine here? It can be used just right. As for the ear disease, I can also find someone to treat her. Who knows, she may get better one day. When the time comes, won't the Madam thank me?"

"As for the third and fourth granddaughters of the Madam, they are only three years old after the Chinese New Year, so they are a little young. Fortunately, there is not much else in the palace, but there are many palace maids and eunuchs to serve. There is no need to worry about no one to take care of them.

"But I don't know which one Madam Tai likes?"

Rong Enqing's face turned black. In his heart, he had already cursed Concubine Liang's ancestors for eighteen generations.

This is a threat! A naked threat!

The key is, this threat really works on her!

How could she dare to send her granddaughter to Concubine Liang when she knew that she had bad intentions? None of them would do!

"If I were the Madam, I would choose the second daughter, Yunying. This child is disfigured, deaf, and has lost her mother. Seeing that her father is about to go on a long journey, she has suffered so much at such a young age. She should be sent to the palace to accompany the little princess to enjoy happiness. Madam, what do you think?"

Concubine Liang looked at Rong Enqing with a smile, and the threat in her eyes was self-evident.

This time, not only was Rong Enqing threatened to send Yunying into the palace, but even Yunhai's mission was involved.

To agree or refuse, it all depends on Rong Enqing's thought.

But it was obvious that Concubine Liang was not prepared to give Rong Enqing a chance to refuse.

Rong Enqing sighed deeply, smiled bitterly and said, "My Lady Concubine, I promise you that if I find the treasure one day in the future, I will definitely present it to you and the Third Prince."

"Oh, wouldn't it have been better if Madam had been so straightforward earlier?" Concubine Liang smiled but felt very disdainful in her heart.

"Can we just drop the matter of entering the palace?" Rong Enqing asked cautiously.

"That won't do." Concubine Liang flatly refused, "Since the Madam has agreed to my request, then I am on the same boat with her. I should bring her granddaughter into the palace. By making her a companion to the little princess, her granddaughter's future will be guaranteed. Madam, what do you think?"

Say it, say your mother's legs! Rong Enqing really wanted to rush up and tear apart Concubine Liang's eloquent mouth!

Isn't it just that you want to keep a hostage by your side?

Whether it was leaking secrets to outsiders, or complaining to Emperor Taihe, or regretting it after discovering the treasure in the future... unless Rong Enqing didn't care about the lives of Yunying and the others, otherwise, if she dared to do anything, Concubine Liang would be able to kill Yunying and the others before she got into trouble.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, the lives of Yunying and others are nothing compared to those of Concubine Liang and the Third Prince, but to Rong Enqing, ten Concubines Liang and ten Third Princes are not as good as one Yunying!

Seeing Rong Enqing's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, Concubine Liang didn't want to push Rong Enqing to the edge. So, she smiled and said, "Of course, it is up to the Madam Dowager to decide which granddaughter to send to the palace. My words are just a reference. The Madam Dowager doesn't have to send the second granddaughter to the palace."

If a disfigured and deaf girl was sent to the palace to be a companion to the little princess, would people all over the world laugh at her for being blind and deliberately looking down on her adopted daughter, the little princess?

Of course, Rong Enqing cared a lot about this second granddaughter. If Rong Enqing really sent her to the palace, it would not be without benefits. At worst, she could pick a few good girls from other families to come to the palace to accompany the little princess. There are always more solutions than problems. It all depends on what Rong Enqing decides in the end.

Rong Enqing endured it again and again, but finally couldn't help asking again: "My Royal Concubine, my granddaughters are too young and really not suitable to enter the palace. Can this matter be dropped? My Royal Concubine, I promise that if the Marquis' Mansion finds the treasure, I will tell you! I can also swear that I will not reveal a single word of what I said to you today to outsiders! Please, Royal Concubine, have mercy on me..."

Concubine Liang's face turned cold. "Madam, there is no need to say more. This matter is settled. Of course, if you are really embarrassed and don't know which granddaughter to send to the palace, I can help you decide! How about the second girl?"

"No, no need!" Rong Enqing quickly refused, "I will go back and discuss with my family, and then decide who to send to the palace."

"That's good. After the Lantern Festival, I hope to see the lady's granddaughter in the palace."

"……Yes."
