The old woman was obviously older, but she was still elegant and elegant, with a loving smile on her face. When she saw Shen Qingluan, her loving smile became even more serious.
"Qingluan, are you here? Come and sit next to Aijia."
The old woman smiled and said.
Next to the old woman, there was a noble lady sitting. This lady's appearance was somewhat similar to Ye Wuchen's. It didn't take much to figure out that she was Ye Wuchen's mother, Concubine An.
Concubine An was also a little curious after seeing Shen Qingluan. After all, there were not many people in the world who could make the Queen Mother pay such attention to her.
Therefore, she nodded politely to Shen Qingluan and showed a smile.
"The Queen Mother," Shen Qingluan walked slowly to sit next to the Queen Mother, "Has the person who caused the poison been found?"
"Um."
At the mention of the poison, the Queen Mother's eyes turned cold: "It was done by a concubine in the palace. She wanted to use the poison to give birth to a child, but it was discovered that she had used the poison. The emperor was furious and demoted her.
She went into the cold palace and finally gave birth to a daughter."
"As a result, she thought it was her daughter who had harmed her, causing her to have no son and being thrown into the cold palace. She abused and humiliated her in all kinds of ways. One day, the Ai family came into the family, and she couldn't bear it, so she took the child to her side to take care of her.
, who knew that she had a grudge and used the child to poison the Ai family..."
Concubine An was a little shocked. She only knew that a concubine in the cold palace was executed a few days ago, but she did not expect that it was because of bewitching the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother seemed to have no scruples when it came to Shen Qingluan, and would tell her whatever she asked.
"Qingluan, the Ai family came to see you today for something," the Queen Mother said with a faint smile, "Mammy, bring the box."
"Yes, empress."
An old woman behind her responded respectfully and then stepped back.
Within a moment, she walked up to Shen Qingluan holding a box.
"Your mother asked the Ai family to keep this for her that day, and she will give it to you when you become an adult."
Shen Qingluan took the box handed over by the old grandma. The box was light and weightless.
The old grandma took another key to Shen Qingluan.
Shen Qingluan picked up the key and gently opened the box.
Stored in that box is a piece of paper. It may be a little old, and the paper is a little yellowed, but the writing is still clear.
The first line of purpose is one sentence.
"My daughter Ruoying, my father does not want you to marry far away, but you insist on doing so. My father can only prepare the following dowry for you. At that time, my father will arrange for someone to send it to Tianfeng Dynasty for you, and Emperor Fengwu will inspect it.
Ten thousand gold, five night pearls, ten crystal jade..."
There were too many items written on the list. Shen Qingluan just glanced at them briefly, but did not read them all.
But she also knows that everything on this list is priceless!
How much dowry did the Shen family embezzle from their mother?
In the end, he was reluctant to even spend the money to buy medicine for Shen Rumo?
Are you still claiming that they are eating and drinking at Shen's house for free?
The Queen Mother always looked at Shen Qingluan's face, but there was no emotion on her face, only those gloomy and scary eyes.
She smiled: "Except for your grandfather and your mother, only the late emperor knows what is in the box, and neither does the Ai family. You don't need to tell the Ai family, the Ai family are just custodians for you.
.”
Shen Qingluan held the list tightly and remained silent.
At the end of the list, there is the jade seal of the late emperor, thus proving the authenticity of the list.
At first, my mother had no hesitation in marrying Shen Ran, but later she discovered that Shen Ran was unreliable, but she could no longer go back? So she gave these to the Queen Mother for safekeeping, and had the late emperor stamp them?
The purpose is to get the Shen family to recognize this dowry one day?
"Queen Mother, do you know who my grandfather is?" Shen Qingluan raised his head and asked solemnly.
She has never seen her grandfather or his family since she was a child, and her mother has never even mentioned him, so she still doesn't know where the mysterious grandfather is from and why the late emperor helped her so much.
The Queen Mother shook her head: "I don't know the specific details of the Ai family. Only the late emperor knows. Unfortunately, the late emperor has passed away. The Ai family has no way to answer your question."
Shen Qingluan was slightly silent.
Looking at this rich dowry, we can see how much my grandpa loves my mother.
How could my grandfather, who loved his mother so much, ignore her for so many years? He didn't even come to see her for the last time when she passed away.
so……
Something must have happened to grandpa, and he had no way to come. Maybe, he didn't even know that his mother had passed away!
"I understand. Since I don't know where grandpa is, I can just wait for him to come to me," Shen Qingluan said with a smile, "There is no way he will never come here in this lifetime. I will definitely be able to wait for him."
The Queen Mother sighed softly. She was not very clear about Lan Ruoying's identity, but the late Emperor valued her very much.
If... Lan Ruoying had her mother's family supporting her, she wouldn't have lived such a miserable life.
Or if the late emperor was still alive, he would definitely protect her.
Pity……
"Qingluan, you are a good boy. It's Mo Ling's fault for not cherishing you." The Queen Mother's eyes became much gentler. "The Ai family believes that you will surely have a good marriage."
Shen Qingluan raised her eyes slightly and smiled movingly: "I just want to live by Ru Mo, and I don't have too many thoughts."
The Queen Mother smiled bitterly. The Shen family came to ask Shen Qingluan to marry Ye Moling that day, but she made the decision and agreed.
Because the suspicion of the Queen's family had been almost cleared at that time, Shen Qingluan would also be able to enjoy the glory and wealth after marrying in.
Who knew that so many things would happen later that made her regretful.
"Qingluan, the Ai family knows that you don't like the palace. I have returned your mother's belongings to their original owners. Aunty, please send Miss Shen out of the palace." The Queen Mother smiled slightly and said.
The old nanny was about to step forward, but Shen Qingluan had already stopped her: "No need, I know the way to leave. I can go back by myself later, no need to bother."
The Queen Mother was a little surprised. The palace was so big and Qingluan rarely came here. How could she remember the way all of a sudden?
Since Shen Qingluan insisted on this, the Queen Mother did not say much and smiled: "If you have time in the future, you should come and spend more time with the Ai family."
"I will."
Shen Qingluan's words were a bit perfunctory, and she put the dowry list into the black box again, carefully, for fear of destroying the paper.
She will get back all the dowry her mother brought back one by one!
After Shen Qingluan walked out, Concubine An turned her attention to the Queen Mother. She pondered for a while and asked: "Queen Mother, that Miss Shen..."
"Qingluan's life experience is somewhat special, but only the late emperor knows about it. This child has suffered a lot in recent years. The Ai family sees that she has been very close to Chen'er recently, so she must have had all her hardships."
