Chapter 111: Black Hand

The Empress Dowager felt that if Ning Yue wanted to introduce her family to her, it meant that she had accepted her. She was happy to be able to acknowledge this granddaughter-in-law!

However, what the Empress Dowager did not know was that Ning Yue was thinking that since she had promised the Empress Dowager not to expose her identity, it would have nothing to do with her if Jiang Ying saw her and said something.

When she saw Ning Feng at the entrance of the house just now, she had already asked Gu Yu to bring Jiang Ying in first. At this moment, Jiang Ying should still be in the living room.

The Empress Dowager, who was originally very happy, suddenly couldn’t smile when she came to the living room. Who did she see? She actually saw Jiang Ying!

When Jiang Ying saw the Empress Dowager, his eyes widened. Was he seeing things? “Grandmother? Why are you here?”

At Jiang Ying’s shout, Madam He suddenly couldn’t sit still. She already knew that Jiang Ying was the heir of Prince Jin.

Wasn’t the grandmother of the heir of Prince Jin the current Empress Dowager?

Ning Yue went forward to help Madam He up and asked softly, “Mother, where’s the children?”

“I’ll bring Erlang and Xiaochi over,” she said.

She had heard Xiaochi call him Uncle Jiang Ying. What did that mean? He was also a descendant of the emperor!

Oh my god, what should she do? Ning Yue was still acting as if nothing had happened. Madam He was so worried that her hair was about to turn white.

No, no, Ning Yue’s child was also a descendant of the emperor.

She suddenly felt like her brain wasn’t working enough. She could barely think.

“Mother, bring the children over,” Ning Yue said.

She could roughly guess why the Empress Dowager was here. She wanted to see the two children.

Jiang Ying should have already told the Empress Dowager about the children.

“Why can’t I come here? I have a headache and fever. The imperial physicians in the palace can’t take care of me. Can’t I come out and show my illness to the two divine doctors?” The Empress Dowager said unhappily.

In any case, she had been living here recently. Unless the emperor came personally, no one could expect her to go back.

“Grandmother, why don’t you stay with me?” Jiang Ying asked carefully.

“No! I’m not going! I’ll stay here. It’s convenient!” The Empress Dowager was angry and did not care about anything else. She sat down on a chair.

Jiang Ying had no choice but to look at Ning Yue. Ning Yue spread her hands helplessly. She had no choice. If the Empress Dowager wanted to stay here, how could she chase her away?

Just like that, the Empress Dowager and Jiang Ying shamelessly stayed over.

After dinner, Jiang Ying pulled Ning Yue back. “Yueyue, I have something to tell you.”

“Let’s go to the study,” Ning Yue said.

Jiang Ying nodded. It was best not to let too many people know.

Ning Yue brought Jiang Ying to the study. As soon as she entered, Jiang Ying couldn’t wait to tell her, “Yueyue, the matter with the general’s residence has been investigated. Even the emperor knows.”

“Oh?” Ning Yue was curious. This was too efficient. As expected of a special unit under the emperor.

“What does the emperor plan to do with it?” Ning Yue asked.

“In a few days, other than the general, everyone in the General’s Residence will be exiled. However, in order to save the general’s face, the emperor and the general will have a discussion. They won’t be told the reason for this matter and will only be exiled using a random event.”

“Also, that old woman, An Yuan, has already been secretly locked up by the emperor’s uncle. To the public, she’s said that she’s fallen sick from too much sadness and is recuperating in the courtyard.”

“If your grandmother is willing to return to the General’s Residence, then go back,” Jiang Ying said.

Ning Yue sighed. Ning Feng had just come over. Judging by An Ning’s attitude, she would not return to the General’s Residence again.

Moreover, Ning Feng often fought outside. What was the point of staying in the General’s Residence alone? It was not good for her condition.

“We’ll talk about this later. Grandmother might not be willing to go back. Besides, Grandmother hasn’t recovered yet. I’m very worried about her going back like this,” Ning Yue said.

“Then don’t go back. I’ll talk to Uncle Emperor. By the way, Yueyue, the An family might not be peaceful. They’re also afraid that An Yuan’s matter will implicate them. Recently, they’ve been refusing guests behind closed doors. Even Marquis An doesn’t go out anymore.”

“Uncle Emperor has investigated that so many things have happened in the General’s Residence, and Marquis An is definitely involved. He’s very likely the mastermind,” Jiang Ying said.

“Why does Marquis An have a title?” Ning Yue did not comment on this matter directly. Instead, she asked another question.

“The An family had a daughter who became Uncle Emperor’s favorite concubine, so Uncle Emperor conferred the An family’s title. This title can’t be inherited.”

“Alright, it’s late. I’m going to rest.” After hearing what she wanted to hear, Ning Yue chased her away impatiently.
