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 …”
