My Reason for Calmness Chapter 25

It is true that Queen Mother Wei had a poor background, but if she had not been a bit scheming, she would not have been able to give birth to two sons for the late emperor, and both sons would not have grown up safely.

At this moment, there was no smile on Queen Mother Wei's face. Her eyelids were drooping, and two very deep nasolabial lines revealed her coldness and seriousness.

"Don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have." Feng Jingqian ruled the country with filial piety, and the supplies in Cining Palace were always the best. Even in the cold winter, Cining Palace was still as warm as spring. But there was a chill in Queen Mother Wei's voice.

Princess Fuchang shuddered, lowered her eyes and said, "Mother, I dare not."

"It's good that she doesn't dare." Queen Mother Wei said calmly, "If I had known that Rulan was of this character, I would never have agreed to this marriage. You have seen it, girl Yan, her appearance, character, and upbringing are all top-notch. She suffered such an injustice, and cried in her own room, and didn't say a word of fault in front of me. I wanted to give a glass of wine to that lowly maid, because that lowly maid was Rulan's favorite and was pregnant. She was afraid that she would have a rift with Rulan before the marriage, and she also advised me. Now it's just an expedient measure. Could it be that the Zhennan Palace really cares about the illegitimate son born by a maid? It's just that girl Yan wants to do a favor. After the marriage, she will come forward to take the illegitimate son back. In this way, she will not only gain Rulan's respect, but also show her magnanimity. How can the couple not be good?"
