Remarry 9,000 Years Old
Chapter 172: Leading Her Mother into a Trap
The floor heating in the main hall of the Cining Palace was burning very strongly. The queen mother sat on the Luohan bed, and the queen sat beside her.
At one side sat Shen Nanqiao, and at the other side sat the Ninth Princess.
The Queen Mother's eyes swept across the two of them, finally landing on Shen Jingyi who was kneeling on the ground.
"I heard that your mother came back to life, is that true?"
In the carriage when they came here just now, Shen Jingyi had already prepared an excuse with the Ninth Princess, and now she bowed calmly.
"Reporting to the Queen Mother, not only did I see my stepmother who had returned from the dead, I also saw her and Prince Cheng having an affair."
The Queen Mother raised an eyebrow and chuckled.
"If you say it's the Prince of Rui or the Prince of Qi, I'll believe it. But it's impossible to be the Prince of Cheng." She looked at the man beside her, "If you don't believe me, ask him. He probably has never dealt with girls in his life."
*** shrugged and did not comment.
Shen Jingyi spoke each word carefully.
"I can guarantee with my unborn child that none of your words are false."
The empress dowager slowly stopped smiling and motioned to the head nanny to find her a seat.
"If that's the case, then have you come forward to acknowledge your relationship?"
Shen Jingyi sat on the chair carefully and stood up immediately after hearing the words.
"I immediately went up to her and recognized her mother, but she refused to acknowledge me and insisted that I had recognized the wrong person."
The Ninth Princess interjected just right.
"I took people to search, but found nothing."
*** snorted coldly upon hearing this.
"In that case, can we also say that you two made up this incident?"
The Ninth Princess and Shen Jingyi looked at each other and were about to speak when the Queen Mother suddenly changed the subject.
"Has Madam Pingyang ever met this stepmother she is talking about?"
Shen Nanqiao stood up upon hearing this and spoke slowly.
"My stepmother passed away a long time ago." She glanced at Shen Jingyi, "But I have indeed seen the woman that Aunt Shen mentioned. Not only that, but she also lived in my backyard for some time."
This time, not only the Queen Mother, but also the Ninth Princess and Shen Jingyi were stunned.
That's not what she just said!
The Queen Mother frowned and let go of the cat, letting it jump to the ground.
The Ninth Princess couldn't hold back any longer.
"Then why did you deny it just now?"
Shen Nanqiao looked innocent: "You didn't ask."
The Ninth Princess recalled that she had asked this question since the moment she entered the backyard of Songchangxuan.
Shen Nanqiao stopped her from saying anything.
"The Ninth Princess came up and accused me of deceiving the emperor and hiding my biological mother in the backyard. These are all fabricated lies, so I can't admit it." Her cat-like eyes curved cunningly, "But the person the Queen Mother just asked about did live in my backyard, but she wasn't my biological mother."
The Ninth Princess knew that she did it on purpose, so she turned to report to the Queen Mother.
"Since everyone has their own opinion, why not let Madam Pingyang call that lady out so that we can confront each other face to face."
Shen Nanqiao looked regretful.
"That person is no longer in my house. She is a guest and can come and go as she pleases. How can the host restrict her from leaving?"
The Ninth Princess' patience had run out by now.
"Mrs. Pingyang, why is she being so secretive and talking about other things?"
Shen Nanqiao blinked.
"It was obviously the Ninth Princess who was making trouble and mobilizing a large army to search the house. Now you are accusing me of being secretive. Shouldn't I be the one asking you what you want to do?"
The Queen Mother slammed the table.
"Stop making a fuss!" She looked at Shen Jingyi, "You said you saw Prince Cheng being intimate with that woman, right?"
Shen Jingyi guessed the Queen Mother's intention and nodded cautiously.
The Queen Mother immediately gave orders to her attendants.
"Go and call Prince Cheng to the Cining Palace and tell him that I have something to discuss with him. Don't reveal anything else."
The head nanny was about to give the order as she was told, but then she heard *** say.
"I sent someone to call them before I came here. They should be here soon."
The Queen Mother was quite dissatisfied, but she really didn't like to confront the imperial sister head-on, so she just downplayed it.
"If we get wind of it in advance, what if that guy hides the person?"
Before he finished speaking, he heard a message from outside saying that Prince Cheng had arrived.
When everyone looked over, they saw Prince Cheng striding into the inner hall, followed by the beautiful middle-aged woman.
At this moment, the air in the room seemed to stagnate, and almost everyone's eyes were focused on Shen Nanqiao's face.
so similar!
It's so similar!
Even the Queen Mother couldn't help but compare Shen Nanqiao's face with that woman's. How could there be two people in this world who looked so similar? If there was no blood relationship at all, she would never believe it even if she was beaten to death.
But there was no fluctuation on Shen Nanqiao's face.
But when the Queen Mother saw Prince Cheng paying his respects, she hurriedly asked.
"This is?"
Prince Cheng pulled the man's wrist and said to the Queen Mother.
"Today I have something to ask of you, Queen Mother. I have been alone all these years, and you always urge me to get married, which makes me worried." He pointed to the woman beside him and said, "Today I have brought the girl I like, and I ask for your approval."
Everyone was stunned by this sudden change.
The Queen Mother was well-informed and was the first to react.
"How can this be possible! This is clearly Madam Pingyang's biological mother, and she already has a husband!"
Prince Cheng looked up in surprise, his face full of disbelief.
"Who said she is a married woman? She is clearly the girl that I have admired for many years!"
