An Lingrong's Rebirth: I will not offend others unless they offend me

"Huan'er, don't be like this. Longyue is still young, a child after all. As long as you treat her well, she will naturally treat you well too. Besides, she is your biological child."

Shen Meizhuang handed the handkerchief to her.

"Don't worry, I will persuade Longyue to accept you as soon as possible."

"Now that you have returned to the palace, we have a long way to go."

"Thank you, Sister Mei. Huan'er is fine. It's just that it's hard for me to accept it for the time being."

She took the cloak from Cui Jinxi's hand and handed it to Shen Meizhuang, with a hint of sob in her voice.

"This is the cloak for Longyue. I hope Sister Mei can pass it on to you."

"I just forced Longyue to recognize me. I'm afraid I hurt her feelings. I'll have to trouble you to comfort her."

Seeing this, Shen Meizhuang knew that Zhen Huan was about to leave.

If Zhen Huan walked out of Yonghe Palace with red eyes, who knows what kind of rumors would spread outside.

Shen Meizhuang quickly spoke to keep the person.

"Huan'er, Longyue is still young. She will forget her unhappiness in a moment."

"If you have nothing to do in the palace, why don't you stay and have lunch with your sister?"

"If you want to be good to Longyue, you must first understand how she has been through these past few years."

Shen Meizhuang stepped forward and took her hand, "Come on, I will tell you everything that happened to Longyue in the past few years."

She led people forward and spoke softly.

"Ever since you sent Longyue to Shoukang Palace, I haven't heard a single word about her... The Queen Mother summoned all the princes and princesses to a banquet, and that was the first time I saw little Longyue. She was timidly held in Xiao Yunzi's arms... Later, the Queen Mother became seriously ill... Xiao Yunzi passed away... And then Longyue was placed with me..."

"Sister, I don't know what Longyue has been through. When she first came to me, she was always cautious and acted very carefully."

"It wasn't until the past year that I started to feel more cheerful."

"Everyone else in the harem says I'm cruel and that I'm keeping Longyue from going out, but the truth is, she's just shy of strangers."

"Whenever there are a few more people in the Imperial Garden, she will drag me back to the palace to hide."

"Huan'er, I've thought before, if you had entrusted Longyue to me from the beginning, would she have suffered less?"

Shen Meizhuang looked straight at Zhen Huan, not wanting to miss any expression on her face.

"It's a pity that we didn't know what would happen in the future."

Just like her, she had never seen Zhen's true face in all those years before entering the palace.

Her mother explained in a letter home that the reason why Zhen Huan did not let her raise Longyue was because she knew that no matter who she placed the child with, she would treat her well.

Shen Meizhuang thought about it carefully. If she hadn't discovered the true identity of the person in front of her, she would definitely treat her daughter, who was raised by someone else, as her own daughter and love her as her own.

My mother was able to see the truth of the matter very clearly.

Zhen Huan did think so at the time, but she would never admit it.

"Sister Mei, Huan'er's first consideration was to raise the child in your care. But at that time, the deposed queen was in charge of the harem, and Concubine Hua was watching covetously from the sidelines. Huan'er couldn't let you fall into danger."

"At that time, the Empress Dowager, who was eager for the Emperor to have more children, was someone none of them dared to reach out to."

Zhen Huan looked at Shen Meiyu with a distressed expression and said with red eyes.

"Sister Mei, Huan'er has never forgotten your helplessness after falling into the Thousand Carp Pond, your panic after being falsely accused of a false pregnancy, and the heartbreak after losing your child."

When Shen Meizhuang heard her say this, all the nightmares she had experienced flashed before her eyes one by one.

She fell into the Thousand Carp Pond because Concubine Hua saw that she was deeply favored by the Emperor, and the fake pregnancy was also orchestrated by Concubine Hua.

But when Shen Meizhuang recalled it later, she realized that when she was desperately trying to refute the false pregnancy to win favor, it was Zhen who took the blame for her.

As for losing her child in the Imperial Garden, even if the cat slave got frightened and bit people, it would not make her panic.

At that time, Zhen, who was afraid of the raccoon, forced her to move, which hurt the dragon fetus in her belly.

In addition, there were bad guys hiding under the trees in Chuxiu Palace. How could she keep her destined child?

How come there is no one trustworthy in such a big harem?

Shen Meizhuang just watched helplessly as Zhen Huan on the other side of the couch racked her brains to fool people.

"Sister, you've suffered enough. Huan'er can't bear to see you suffer any more."

"Huan'er was afraid that she would be sad, so she never told you some things."

Shen Meizhuang took a bite of the yam and date paste cake prepared in the kitchen, chewed it slowly, and signaled her to continue with her eyes.

"The deposed empress ordered Jingbai, the former abbot of Ganlu Temple, to consult me. As soon as I arrived there, I was assigned to wash clothes and chop wood. I was never idle for a moment."

"Later, she falsely accused me of theft, forcing me to move to the remote Lingyun Peak."

"The wind on the peak was freezing, and Jingbai withheld our rations. Huan'er was on the brink of death countless times before she was able to linger."

As Zhen Huan spoke, her eyes involuntarily turned towards the sky in the courtyard.

She also met the love of her life at Lingyun Peak, but this must never be known to others.

Shen Meizhuang gently held her hand, "Huan'er, all those hardships are over. Now that the emperor has taken you back to the palace, he will definitely treat you well."

"The Emperor often doesn't come to the harem for more than half a month. When he's done with his work, he'll definitely come to see you."

"If you say something soft, it will make life easier for Uncle Zhen and the others outside the capital."

Cui Jinxi, who was guarding outside the palace gate, was so anxious that she was jumping up and down. Why was Concubine Hui so speechless today?

He actually kept poking at his master's heart!

When Zhen Huan heard Shen Meiyu mention the Zhen family, the tears she had just held back burst out again.

"Sister Mei, the Guarjia family is ruthless and cruel. They sent people to Ningguta to attack my father. The emperor finally agreed to let the Zhen family return, but they were ambushed on the way."

"Now my father's leg is seriously injured again, which is why he hasn't returned to the capital for so long."

It’s really miserable!

But Shen Meizhuang remembered the advice her mother gave her in the letter home, and felt that the Zhen family was a real scourge that would last for thousands of years.

Even though he was targeted by the deposed empress and Concubine Qi and her daughter, he was still able to return to the capital alive.

She suppressed the anger rising in her heart, looked up again, and asked with concern.

"Huan'er, the evil deeds of the Guarjia father and daughter are obvious. Have you reported this to the Emperor?"

Zhen Huan shook her head slowly. The emperor had never revealed to her that he would pardon his family and allow them to return to Beijing.

However, Sister Mei's suggestion is not bad. If the emperor sends more people to protect her family, those people with malicious intentions will definitely restrain themselves.

Zhen Huan thought for a moment and decided to use Gao Changjin, who had leaked the information to her, again.

Her family couldn't suffer any longer.

"Sister Mei, Huan'er has already made up her mind about this matter."

"It's Huan'er's fault that I've caused my sister so much grief today."

Zhen Huan stood up and bowed to Shen Meizhuang.

She quickly supported the man, her eyes full of pity.

"Why should you and I, sisters, bother about these things?"

"Someone, go and invite Princess Longyue to dinner."
