The younger sister-in-law falsely accused the sickly uncle and ran away with the baby

Even though Shen Zhiheng wrote to her every day, telling her about what happened in the mountains and on the battlefield, he never mentioned the wedding on October 15th again.

He must be very sad and upset. He has never seen the child since he was born...

Yu Ruyue discovered that no matter how long she stayed in this world, she still did not have that down-to-earth feeling. Even though she ate the most delicious meals every day, wore the finest silks and satins, wore the most gorgeous jewelry, and enjoyed high power, she still wanted to leave here, go back and create her own career, be down-to-earth, and create wealth with her own hands!

"Mother?"

"Mother!?"

Yu Ruyue came back to her senses and looked at the cute little kids on her left and right. "What's wrong?"

Ningning pouted, her bright eyes filled with unhappiness, "Mom, what's wrong? Ningning just recited a poem to you, and you didn't hear it."

"Didn't we agree that after Ningning memorizes this poem, we can make a kite together? And when Daddy comes back, we'll fly the kite together?"

Yu Ruyue smiled and pinched Ningning's pink little face. "It's mother's fault! Ningning, can you recite it again? Give mother a chance to correct her mistake?"

Ningning shook her head and pointed outside the door. "No! Uncle Liuguang is outside. He's been waiting for quite a while. He said he has something to report to mother."

Yu Ruyue then looked outside the door. Liuguang was standing there very obediently. "Liuguang!?"

"Why are you here?"

Liuguang stood outside the door and replied respectfully, "Your Majesty! Someone from the Jiang family has come and requested to see the old lady. However, Your Majesty is discussing the reception of the envoy with the court officials, so I dare not disturb you. I can only come to ask Your Majesty."

"Should we let them in?"

Yu Ruyue frowned. "How many people? Didn't you tell me what you're here for?"

"Your Majesty! It's the Fourth and Fifth Madams of the Jiang family. They said they wanted to see the old lady and the two elders of the Jiang family!"

Yu Ruyue thought for a moment and said, "Alright! Let's send them to the palace! No need to come to me, just send them directly to the Cining Palace."

Although Shen Chou did not disclose to the public that Jiang Erlan was his biological mother, nor did he allow people to call her the Queen Mother, but only called her Old Madam, he still let her live in the Cining Palace, simply because that palace was the farthest from the Mingyue Tower and was relatively quiet, which was the most suitable place for recuperation.

At the palace gate, Madam Jiang Si and Madam Jiang Wu came in with their eyes shining as they looked around.

They were all married into the Jiang family when the family was on the decline. The fourth wife was the daughter of a merchant, and the fifth wife was the daughter of a minor official. Therefore, both of them had never been to the palace before. They were very curious about everything here and had forgotten the careful instructions given by the eldest wife of the Jiang family before she left.

The two looked around and walked for a long time but still hadn't reached the Cining Palace. Madam Jiang Si rubbed her aching legs and said, "Don't you have sedan chairs in your palace? We are the emperor's elders and the Empress Dowager's family, and you treat us so poorly."

Mrs. Jiang Wu stopped walking and said, "I can't walk anymore. Hurry up and get a sedan chair!"

"We are so old and weak here, we really can't do anything about it."

The maidservant leading the way replied respectfully, "Madams, please be careful with your words and actions. His Majesty has said that there is no Empress Dowager in this palace, only Empress Dowager, and sedan chairs can only be used with the permission of Empress Dowager!"

Madam Jiang Si had never expected that a little maid would dare to say such outrageous words. She was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped her, "How dare you! What do you mean there's only the Empress but no Empress Dowager?"

"Your Majesty's biological mother, the legitimate daughter of our Jiang family, is the Empress Dowager!"

Mrs. Jiang Wu was also very angry. "What do you mean? We are the emperor's aunt, and we need the queen's permission to have a sedan chair. Even the queen has to call us aunt."

"You are such a brave slut."

The maid knelt on the ground with her head lowered and said nothing. The maids beside her were also silent, not even a word of begging for mercy.

The situation suddenly came to a standstill.

Madam Jiang Si was so angry that her chest kept heaving. "Great! You flatterers, don't you just think we're easy to bully? Fine, since you can't do anything, then go and call the Queen over to us. We want to see how a junior like her can have the nerve to make us elders go through so much trouble to see her in person."

The little maid knelt on the ground, kowtowed again, and replied respectfully, "Madam! The Empress said that there is no need to go to see her. You two can go directly to the Cining Palace."

Madam Jiang Si was so angry at the maids' stubborn attitude that she was spinning around in circles. "Well! A woman of unknown origin really thinks that just because she has charmed the emperor, she can ignore us! We are the emperor's elders."

"Go tell that woman right now to personally send a sedan chair over to us, or we'll just sit here and not leave."

Madam Jiang Wu tugged at the sleeve of the person next to her and whispered in a panic, "Fourth sister-in-law! Can we really do this? I don't think that queen is someone you can easily mess with. She has the emperor completely bewitched. What if word of this gets to the emperor?"

Madam Jiang Si didn't care at all. "So what? As long as we're in the Jiang family, no one dares to touch us. Besides, ever since our sister-in-law became paralyzed in bed, we've been taking care of her wholeheartedly! We always give her the first thing we can get when we have something delicious or useful. Now that we've finally made it through, do we have to grovel like before?"

When Mrs. Jiang Wu heard this, it seemed to make sense, so she also waved her handkerchief and said, "Go! If that woman doesn't come in person, we won't leave."

The little maid who came to lead the way looked down at each other and thought to herself, these two are really courting death!

However, in order to prevent these two people from continuing to quarrel here, someone was sent back to report!

Upon hearing this, Yu Ruyue waved her hand impatiently and asked someone to notify the old lady of the Jiang family and let them solve the matter themselves.

Liuguang hadn't expected that these two were so capable of causing trouble. If he could persuade them, the Queen might send sedan chairs for them, but they were so disrespectful to the Queen. If His Majesty knew about this, the two ladies would probably not be able to leave the palace alive. He thought about it and prepared to go over and give them a few words to prevent His Majesty from getting upset.

As soon as he got there, he met the Minister of Revenue who came in a hurry.

"Sir Shangshu! Why are you running so fast? Be careful."

"Ah! Lord Liuguang! What a coincidence!"

"Hurry! You're good at Qinggong. Go find my master at Mingyue Tower. His Majesty got really angry in the previous court because of the reception of the envoys. It looks like he's about to go on a killing spree!"
