After the marriage, I married the most treacherous minister of the dynasty

The officials' wives had already been arranged to stay in the Linjiang Tower.

As a lady of noble title, Su Qingwan must attend, and this time Yan's mother will also be there. This is the intention of Emperor Xuanwu.

He specifically instructed Yan Mingjue.

"Although you have a bad relationship with your mother, she is your mother after all."

"Those censors are difficult to deal with. It would save some trouble if we could just shut them up."

Since Emperor Xuanwu said so, Yan Mingjue naturally could not refuse.

When he got home in the evening, he told Su Qingwan about this matter.

"Please take care of her when the time comes."

Yan Mingjue knew very well what kind of person Yan's mother was. He was worried that Yan's mother would be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives.

Su Qingwan naturally agreed.

The Dragon Boat Festival soon arrived. Su Qingwan and Yan Mingjue both changed into court robes. After waiting for a long time, Yan's mother finally came.

Seeing the outfit of Yan's mother, Su Qingwan frowned slightly.

Yan's mother was dressed very young, wearing light purple clothes. She had a pitiful appearance to begin with, and with this attire she didn't look like Yan Mingjue's mother at all. It would be absolutely no problem to say that she was Yan Mingjue's sister.

Yan Mingjue didn't say much when he saw this, but just asked her to get on the carriage.

Along the way, Su Qingwan noticed that Yan's mother was in a strange mood.

She was sometimes happy and sometimes angry.

Yan Mingjue knew something. While Mother Yan was distracted, he whispered to Su Qingwan:

"She met that man during the Dragon Boat Festival."

Yan Ming never mentioned his biological father and always used that man as a substitute.

Su Qingwan suddenly understood what was going on after hearing this. No wonder Yan's mother was dressed like this today and looked so strange.

She didn't know what words to use to describe Yan's mother. There must be something hateful about a pitiful person.

She was hurt, and ended up taking that hurt out on her own children.

It was clearly her own fault, but she pushed the blame onto the innocent Yan Mingjue.

One cannot choose one's own parents. If possible, she thought Yan Ming would never choose them.

Emperor Xuanwu will be present in person today, so security must be of top priority.

Yan Mingjue sent Su Qingwan and Yan's mother to the female relatives' side, and then took people to check.

Today, the safety of Emperor Xuanwu is the responsibility of the Imperial Guards and the Capital Garrison.

In fact, it was unwise for Emperor Xuanwu to come out at this time. After all, the identities of those people last time had not been ascertained.

But Emperor Xuanwu insisted. In fact, Emperor Xuanwu also attached great importance to the Dragon Boat Festival every year.

This is the same as Yan's mother.

This thought flashed through Yan Mingjue's mind but left no trace.

Qin Li was the busiest person today. He and the Imperial Guards were under a lot of pressure. Now that he saw Yan Mingjue bringing people to help, he was naturally very grateful.

"Brother Yan, I'll treat you to a drink some other day."

His official position was much lower than Yan Ming's, but because of the relationship between their two families, they had always been friends.

"Brother Qin, you're welcome."

"How is it? Is there anything unusual?

Qin Li shook his head:

"I checked everything, and there's nothing abnormal."

They started working early for the dragon boat race.

He hasn't been back to see his dear wife for several days.

It was only when his wife came over just now that he went over to say hello.

Knowing what he was thinking, Yan Ming did not mock him, but just said,

"Just make it through today."

Qin Li and the commander of the Imperial Guards both nodded.

Over there, Su Qingwan had already sat together with Yan's mother and Lan Xijing.
