Princess From Rich Family

Mo Taiwen thought for a moment and said softly, "Don't act rashly for the time being. Father, mother, sisters are all in the palace. If they can handle it, they will think of a way. If they can't, then we must be more careful."

Mo Pingchu looked at Mo Taiwen's calm face. He didn't know why, but he felt that it was a little strange. For the first time, he truly realized that his grandfather and uncle, who were occasionally frustrated by the fact that their talented and nimble father had actually existed, and that he was still far from truly growing up.

Two hours later, the exhausted old mistress and Yu Shuzhen finally returned. Everyone hurriedly went to welcome them.

Mo Taiwen's heart sank when he held the old lady's arm. Something serious must have happened to his mother, otherwise, with her calmest temperament, Mo Taiwen couldn't think of anything that could cause her to lose her composure like this.

On closer look, only the madame and Yu Shuzhen came back. The old man and Mo Taiwu didn't come back with them, so Mo Taiwen couldn't help but frown.

Xu Jingniang also noticed this and was about to ask, but Mo Taiwen quietly tugged at her sleeve. Xu Jingniang looked over in confusion and saw Mo Taiwen signalling her to bring some tea.

Xu Jingniang was stunned for a moment. She hurriedly served the tea to Yu Shuzhen and the madame. The madame took the cup and finished it in a gulp. Only then did she heave a sigh of relief.

Yu Shuzhen was also thirsty and tired. She put down her teacup and waved at Big maidservant. "Have the kitchen cook a bowl of Soul-Calming Elixir. Don't use the lotus seed, use the lily!"

"Yes sir!" Big maidservant quickly responded.

Yu Shuzhen said to her husband with concern, "Granny, let me help you back to your room to rest. The soup will be ready in a moment. I'll send it over to you."

The old lady smiled and said to Yu Shuzhen, "I'm sorry, but you still remember this. If you're tired, you can leave now, I have someone to serve me." Then she looked at Mo Taiwen and the others, "It's fine, they'll be back soon. Don't worry, they've almost broken my bones tonight, so I'll head back to my room now."

Mo Pingchu quickly stepped forward to support his wife and said, "Grandmother, grandson will send you back to your room."

The madame patted Mo Pingchu's hand with a smile and was helped back to her room.

After sending off the madame, Yu Shuzhen rubbed her forehead, making all the servants leave. She sighed and said to Mo Taiwen and Xu Jingniang in a low voice, "Tonight at the palace banquet, Imperial Noble Consort Xie's abdominal pain suddenly became unbearable, and she experienced redness on the spot. After being induced by the royal doctors to give birth to a prince, she almost bled to death!"

Mo Taiwen and Xu Jingniang were both shocked. They thought that something had happened, but never thought that something like this would happen.

Yu Shuzhen lowered her voice again. "Second Prince was born with Heaven's Destruction. The emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of Imperial Noble Consort Xie's pregnancy. Rumor has it that Imperial Noble Consort Xie claimed that the empress harmed her child!"

Heaven's Destruction? Newborns with birth disabilities were already considered unfortunate, let alone being born in the royal family. Imperial Concubine said the empress was the one who harmed her. What would happen to the emperor?

Xu Jingniang didn't even dare to imagine how much of a storm this would cause.

Yu Shuzhen looked at Mo Taiwen and Xu Jingniang seriously and said in a low voice, "The words that come out of my mouth will enter your ears. Do not let a third person know about it. The news that came out from the palace tomorrow was that Imperial Noble Consort Xie had a difficult pregnancy and that she was stillborn, do you understand? "

Xu Jingniang was so frightened that her face turned pale. Mo Taiwen shook her hand and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. We know what to do. You're tired too. Go back and rest. We'll wait for father and brother's return."

Yu Shuzhen was truly exhausted, so she didn't refuse anymore. She said to Xu Jingniang, "I'll have to trouble Jing Niang to send it to Mother when the Tranquil Spirit Soup is ready."

Xu Jingniang hurriedly said, "Eldest Sister-in-law, don't worry. I will take good care of Grandma."

Yu Shuzhen smiled and said, "It's better if you move back here. If there's anything, we can all take care of it. Since the two of you are in trouble, I'll head back first." Mo Taiwen and Xu Jingniang hurriedly stood up to send Yu Shuzhen off.

Watching Yu Shuzhen walk away, Xu Jingniang was a little disappointed and said to Mo Taiwen, "Sister-in-law is so amazing. If I met with this kind of situation, I would be so scared that my legs would go soft. How could I be as calm and meticulous as Sis?"

Mo Taiwen knew that Xu Jingniang, who had never experienced such things, would be extremely emotional at this moment. He comforted her lightly: "Silly wife, how much trouble can you go through? "Sister-in-law had followed her parents all the way from the border to the capital back then. Forget about the quarrels in the harem, she has even seen the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. She is the dignified mistress of our Mansion of State Duke, how can she not be so calm?"

"That's right, now that we are living in Mansion of State Duke, I am no longer a merchant's wife, but a wife of Mansion of State Duke!" This time, she truly felt that moving back to Mansion of State Duke was not just to change places. It had truly become a part of the capital's power struggle.

Mo Taiwen was also a bit disappointed. He put his arm around Xu Jingniang's shoulders and said, "Don't think too much. There's still me left. As long as you take care of the kids, everything else will be the same as before."

Leaning on Mo Taiwen's shoulder, Xu Jingniang sighed in her heart: It's not the same. Ever since I returned to the Mansion of State Duke, everything has changed!

Mo Pingchu felt the same way. On the way back to their room, Mo Pingchu couldn't help but ask a few questions out of curiosity. He thought the madame wouldn't answer him, but unexpectedly, she told him the whole story.

The battle for the harem and the Heaven's Destruction had exceeded Mo Pingchu's expectations. He looked at the madame in shock and asked, "Grandmother, are you really telling me that the empress had harmed Imperial Noble Consort Xie?"

The Countess declined to comment. She just lightly touched Mo Pingchu's face and said, "Everything I told you was what I saw and heard. What you need to do is to find something useful from these words that can help you find the truth. Sometimes, the eyes would lie and the ears would lie. The only thing he could rely on was his calm judgement and analysis. "Little Five, you must remember, the reason we want to find out the truth is for the sake of fairness and justice, but even more so to protect ourselves and the people we care about."

Mo Pingchu was shocked. He looked at the old lady blankly. The old lady gently smiled and said, "It's okay if you don't know, but remember grandmother's words. You will understand in the future!"

Mo Pingchu's eyes flashed and said in a low voice, "Yes, Grandmother. Please rest early. grandson will take his leave."

The madame nodded and watched Mo Pingchu leave.

The old lady's servant, the mama, said worriedly, "Madam, the Fifth Young Master is only fourteen years old. Isn't it a little too early for you to tell him about this? "What if he accidentally leaked it? Wouldn't that mean …"
