Jiang Yunchu went to a very small courtyard. This courtyard was very common in the village. Most families had such small courtyards.

"Princess." Zi Su bowed and nodded.

Jiang Yunchu looked behind her. There was no one there, but she could sense that An San was there.

"You guys stay outside."

"Yes."

"Yes."

Zi Su and Bai Zhi bowed and then stood guard in the yard.

"You came."

They have been married for more than half a year, but this is the second time they have met as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

"Meet the Queen Mother."

Jiang Yunchu bowed slightly and saluted.

The concubine looked at Jiang Yunchu with a smile. This girl gave her too many surprises.

"Yun Chu, come and sit here." She patted the seat next to her.

Then he turned around and looked at the people around him, "You all go out, I want to have a private talk with Yun Chu."

For a moment, there were only the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law in the room.

"You invited me over, but what's the problem?" The concubine smiled, her coarse linen clothes still couldn't hide her noble aura.

"You don't ask about Ning Hanmo, Ning Yuexue, or even about the affairs in the palace."

After Jiang Yunchu finished speaking, he suddenly raised his head and asked, "Madam Concubine Dowager, how many of your people are still in the palace?"

Her face was smiling, her eyes were shining with light, and her every frown and smile was calm.

But over the past six months, her words and actions were not what she appeared to be.

"Here is the list." The Concubine Dowager pushed a piece of paper over.

When she came here today, she had already prepared all these.

But the girl opposite didn't even look at it. She just tore up the paper and then set it on fire, and the paper turned to ashes.

"Your Highness, I just want to ask you one question. Are we in the same boat?" This was the question she wanted to ask since the first day she married into the palace.

But the attitude of the Cao family, the attitude of the Concubine Dowager, one thing after another, made her unsure.

The Toffee Lady sighed, then smiled, "Let me tell you a story."

"It was on a rainy day. A girl was attending a lotus banquet. When she was returning home, her carriage got stuck in a mud pit."

"The horse lost control and jumped high up. When the carriage was about to overturn, a man fell from the sky and cut the rope that tied the horse with a sword, and the carriage stabilized."

"Later, as the two of us got along, we gradually developed feelings for each other, but..."

"You are not worthy of him as a girl."

When the Concubine said this, she looked at Jiang Yunchu and said, "I am that girl."

"The man is the former emperor."

"And I'm not a member of the Cao family at all."

A piece of news, a story, like a thunderclap, resounded directly in Jiang Yunchu's heart.

It turned out to be like this...

This is also the reason why the Concubine Dowager has been constantly exploited by the Cao family for so many years. The late emperor has passed away, and her hair is full of white hair. Who knows how long she can live?

But these matters were in the hands of the Cao family, so she had to take this step.

For the sake of the palace and her grandson and granddaughter, she had to take this step.

It is true that she entrusted the child to her, but it is also true that she wanted to break off with the Cao family.

"The Cao family suddenly has a daughter?" Jiang Yunchu's fingers tapped the table unconsciously. The gentle sound was conducive to her thinking.

"No, the reason why it is the Cao family is because the daughter of the Cao family died."

"The late emperor showed grace to the Cao family and allowed me to replace the daughter of the Cao family and enter the palace."

Now that she had spoken of it today, she didn't want to hide it. This matter couldn't be said before, and must not be said because it concerned the late emperor.

But now, Yun Chu has done enough. As an old lady, what else is there that she can't let go of?

"So that's it."

This is what the Cao family relies on!

This is the reason why the Cao family has controlled the palace for more than ten years.

"Does this story help you resolve the doubts in your heart?" The toffee smiled and took a sip of tea.

Jiang Yunchu asked, "Do you want to meet Ning Hanmo and Ning Yuexue?"

The Toffee shook her head, "I have seen it."

While they were eating the kebabs, she had seen that the two children had grown taller and fatter.

Especially the eyes, which became more determined.

The way they get along with each other shows that Yun Chu is a good person.

"Yun Chu, from today on, the palace is completely handed over to you." The concubine took out a seal with four big words on it: Regent Palace.

The one who holds the seal is the real master of the palace.

Today, in the palace, she can finally let go.

Jiang Yunchu looked at the concubine, "Why?"

The toffee laughed, and there was a hint of relaxation and melancholy in her voice.

"I am old, and there is not much I can do to help you. From now on, the palace will depend on you."

"This seal represents my attitude. If I don't let go, it will put a lot of constraints on you."

"Don't consider me when doing anything in the future."

At this point, the Queen Mother waved her hand and said, "I am tired. I will not rest in the manor. I still have to accompany the late emperor."

"Go back."

Jiang Yunchu's heart felt heavy. This time, the concubine seemed to have made some kind of decision, and even every word she said carried a farewell meaning.

When she went back, her heart felt heavy, as if she knew what the outcome would be, but she couldn't stop it.

That night, she slept soundly and tossed and turned.

Although the doubts have been resolved, my heart does not feel more open.

Its daybreak.

Yueyue rubbed her eyes, raised her head, kissed her on the face, and then called out softly, "Mom."

Rarely, she didn't get up early to exercise today.

"Brother is already exercising, you little guy, hurry up and get up."

Jiang Yunchu put on his clothes, still wearing coarse linen clothes today, and was going to the fields to check on the crops.

"Yueyue is still young and growing up. She can't get up so early!"

The little girl blinked her big eyes and spoke in clear and articulated words that were impossible to refuse.

Jiang Yunchu tapped her forehead and said, "You lazy bastard, you're still making excuses for yourself. Get up quickly."

"Mom, Yueyue knows. She will go to school tomorrow. Yueyue will definitely work hard."

While speaking, the little girl raised her chubby little arms.

The cute look directly touched Jiang Yunchu's heart.

He put a bell-shaped headband around her neck, dressed her in coarse cloth, and then led her out of the yard.

"Good morning, mother~" Ning Hanmo was doing horse stance over there, and the other three people were also imitating him. However, after all, those three people had never practiced it before, and they were sweating profusely and sat down on the ground directly.

"Morning, Princess~"

Three people said in unison.

Jia Chuan was better off, but Zhang Cunwen couldn't even stand up at the moment. He was tall and thin, with an unstable center of gravity, and horse stance was difficult for him.

Ning Qiancheng was in poor health. Over the years, he had been very thin and had no flesh on his body. It was difficult for him to suddenly engage in strenuous exercise.
