C3 Abigail (1/2)

When the empress dowager appeared in front of everyone, Shangguan Wan was astounded and more at ease.

Her Majesty may be a little old, but she was well cared for. Her skin did not show any signs of old age, and she had a kind face and eyes. She should be a friendly person.

Nangong Yu bowed slightly, then pulled Shangguan Wan by the hand and led her to salute him. ”Your son greets Imperial Mother.”

Her Majesty sat on the phoenix chair, smiling as she raised her hand to signal for them to rise.

Someone was playing a zither in the cubicle. The sound of the zither was pleasant to the ears and complemented the fragrance.

”Has the Queen Mother been well recently?” Nangong Yu probed with a caring tone.

The empress dowager nodded without a word, her phoenix eyes fixed on the woman by his side.

”Why doesn't the Empress Dowager speak?” Shangguan Wan tilted her head and whispered into Nangong Yu's ear, the two still held hands.

With this question, Nangong Yu flew into a rage, but he suppressed the anger in his heart and spoke in an extremely low voice, ”You should know that your mother is already mute.”

Shangguan Wan was dumbfounded, mute? Was the Empress Dowager mute? Why didn't she know? No one told her.

Nangong Yu seemed to have already known that she had this kind of expression on his face, but the corner of his mouth curved up in a smile. Woman, continue pretending, you aren't Shangguan Wan at all.

Why didn't the royal family know about his mother-in-law? He was definitely an impersonator.

Shangguan Wan naturally didn't understand sign language, so she could only stand there quietly and watch the mother and son 'chat'.

”Nothing, the empress was just surprised. Why does muhou look so young?” The emperor was the emperor. These words not only gave face to the empress dowager, but also tried to curry favor with Shangguan Wan in front of the empress dowager.

Her Majesty heard this and covered her face as she laughed.

Of course, Shangguan Wan wouldn't change her attitude towards him because of Nangong Yu's' good intentions'. What he did was no more than play the part of husband and wife in front of the empress dowager, how could she sincerely speak up for her?
