The queen is spoiling the king and madly criticizing him for spoiling her

Xie Ci'an leaned sideways in the armchair, with his other hand around Gu Jianchu's slender waist, as if he was watching a show.

The empress dowager held her forehead with a headache, she never expected that such a mess would happen in her mother's family.

The Queen Mother was not in a position to interfere in these matters. She frowned and waved her hand, "If you wish to divorce, go to the government office and get the documents. If you wish to continue living together quietly, then you can continue living together. I cannot interfere in your private affairs."

Annanbo remained silent.

【Why is there no movement?】

I thought he didn't want a divorce, but it turns out he was considering the potential downsides. These men even consider their own benefits before divorcing their wives.

Before Gu Jianchu had finished eating the melon, Yun He barged in at an inopportune moment and hurried to Gu Jianchu. "Your Majesty, the commander of the imperial guards has come to report that there is a girl outside the palace claiming to be from the Annan Earl's Mansion who wants to see you."

"The girl didn't have a visiting card or a badge, so she was stopped by the Imperial Guards. Unexpectedly, she started making a scene at the palace gate and was beaten by the Imperial Guards. The Imperial Guards, mindful that she was from the Annan Marquis's mansion, didn't dare to use any harsh measures. They sent someone over to report to the Empress."

Hearing this, Gu Jianchu looked at the family next to him with suspicion, "The girl from the Annan Marquis's Mansion wants to see me."

There must be something wrong when something is abnormal.

The concubine came here despite risking the death penalty for breaking into the palace.

Yun He spoke softly before, so the family who were desperate for a divorce didn't hear it. Now Gu Jianchu wanted them to hear it, so he deliberately raised his voice a little.

The family who were preparing to divorce frowned at the same time.

Lin glared at Lord Annan fiercely, "This is the concubine you created. She's becoming more and more lawless. Now she even dares to enter the palace."

Now, Earl Annan had no time to think about the divorce. His brows were furrowed because of the concubine's daughter breaking into the palace. Although she was a concubine, if the emperor really wanted to punish her, they would inevitably be implicated.

"Your Majesty, the Empress might have just had a misunderstanding. It's possible that my daughter just wanted to find me and broke into the palace in a hurry." Earl Annan explained in a deep voice.

As soon as Annanbo finished speaking, he was immediately hit by Lin's punch, "You are still protecting those little bitches."

Annanbo gave Lin a warning look, and Lin suddenly realized what was happening and shut up awkwardly.

[Bullshit, it's all because of you two black-hearted people. If you hadn't forced her to marry a sixty-year-old man who could be her grandfather as a concubine, she wouldn't have done such a thing as breaking into the palace.]

【Wow, the little girl actually already knows her own life story.】

Bullied by her mother, a young girl went out of the house to buy chestnut cakes. She stumbled upon an old woman who had fallen and was unexpectedly a midwife. The girl kindly escorted her home. While wiping her hands, she noticed the butterfly birthmark on the girl's arm and recalled her time helping the Lady of Annan give birth. She remembered that the second daughter of the eldest daughter also had a similar birthmark, one that was particularly lively.

The young girl was quite attentive. After the old woman finished speaking, she quickly noticed the flaw. She remembered that the legitimate daughter had no birthmark on her wrist. On the contrary, among all the concubines' daughters in the mansion, only she had a birthmark on her hand.

The young lady was a clever woman, but she had been constantly bullied and tortured in the mansion for years, so she hid her incompetence. After returning, she began to think more and more that something was amiss, and she had some vague suspicions. Furthermore, with her own wedding approaching, she couldn't just sit there and wait for fate to end. So, she approached the old woman to verify the details of the midwife's birth, which completely confirmed the young lady's thoughts.

She also knew that if she rashly brought up this matter in the palace, the Earl of Annan and his wife might not believe her, and might even sell her out even faster. Time was running out for her, and after learning about what had happened today, the young woman decided to break into the palace and try to secure her future.

[He's a child with his own opinions and ideas, not at all like the child of this old couple. I wonder how Lin will react when he finds out the truth.]

Gu Jianchu glanced at the two people kneeling below with disgust, his heart beating faintly with anticipation.

Instead, Xie Ci'an picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip slowly.

Seeing that the Emperor and Empress had not spoken, the Annan Earl and his wife couldn't help but become nervous. On the other hand, Shu Zhaoyi frowned, muttered something like "it's rude" under her breath, and didn't dare to continue talking.

Gu Jianchu knew that Xie Ci'an had been silent, leaving the matter to her. "Since you're here to see Lord Annan, I'm afraid it's urgent. Yunhe, go and bring the person over, so as not to delay anything important."

How can I not eat such a big melon on the spot?

Shu Zhaoyi leaned over to Lin's ear and whispered, "Mother, this little bitch has gotten herself into trouble by barging into the palace."

Although Mrs. Lin doted on her younger daughter, she was also quite nice to her elder daughter. She patted her daughter's hand in comfort and said, "It's probably because of the marriage your father arranged for her. As a concubine's daughter, her parents' orders and the matchmaker's words are the only way. Even if she meets the Emperor and the Empress, she won't cause any trouble. Even if she does, don't you, her father, stand in front to support her?"

The tone of Lin's voice clearly showed that she was still angry with her husband.

"It won't be good for my daughter's reputation if the situation gets too ugly." Shu Zhaoyi said angrily.

Lin quickly coaxed her daughter, "Don't worry, her life is in her mother's hands, she won't fly to the sky."

While they were talking, Yunhe quickly brought the person over. The little girl looked very skinny, and her clothes could not hold her up at all. They looked very worn out, as if they were replaced by other sisters. There was no extra flesh on her cheeks, and she looked malnourished.

There was still blood on his face, probably from the conflict with the guards when he broke into the palace.

[Those rough old men in the Imperial Guards are truly ruthless.]

Seeing the little girl appear, the people kneeling below almost looked at the little girl in unison, with warnings in their eyes almost overflowing.

But the little girl didn't even give them an extra glance, she knelt down beside them and said, "Your servant Shu Yao greets the Emperor and the Empress."

"I heard from the palace servants that you have something important to discuss with me?" Gu Jianchu was too lazy to beat around the bush and went straight to the topic of eating melons.

"Yes, I want to sue Yun'er, the former maid in Annan Marquis's Mansion, for secretly swapping my identity with Shu Ying." Shu Yao knelt on the ground, her words were loud and clear.

The faces of the people kneeling nearby suddenly changed when they heard Shu Yao's first few words. Lin even cursed directly, "Why are you suing us? We didn't do anything to you."

Shu Yao looked over with a sharp gaze, and for some reason, Lin Shi felt a little frightened. Then she heard the little girl say, "Madam, this servant is suing the maid Yun'er, not you. Why are you so anxious?"
