Nanny Jin couldn’t bear to see this.

She had served the Empress Dowager for decades and knew that the only person the Empress Dowager cared about was the Ninth Prince. Six years ago, when the Su family deliberately married the unfavored Su Qian to him. Wasn’t that a land of humiliation to him?

Whenever the Empress Dowager thought about it, she would be heartbroken. How could she bear to let her beloved grandson marry a married woman and be ridiculed by the world?

“Go down with the others, Nanny. I want to have a private conversation with the Empress Dowager,” Xiao Yan ordered coldly.

“Okay…” Nanny Jin didn’t dare to disobey and quickly stepped back.

As Nanny Jin and the palace servants left, the doors of the palace were closed, and only the grandmother and grandson remained.

“Imperial Grandmother, why do you think I am insisting on marrying Qianqian?” Xiao Yan asked.

…..

The Empress Dowager wiped her tears and thought carefully. “Because she’s good-looking?”

No wonder the Empress Dowager thought so. She had seen Su Qian earlier and was indeed beautiful, even among all the beauties in the imperial harem, she stands out. If Xiao Jiu was not attracted to her, what else could it be?

“Imperial Grandmother, the two children Su Qian gave birth to are mine,” Xiao Yan continued. “I have investigated thoroughly and there can’t be any mistake.”

“Quickly tell this me, what is going on?” The Empress Dowager walked towards Xiao Yan in agitation and listened to Xiao Yan briefly explanation of what had happened back then.

Xiao Yan didn’t give a detailed explanation, only mentioning that he had been plotted against seven years ago and coincidentally met Su Qian, which led to their fleeting encounter.

“Someone actually plotted against you? Who is the culprit? Was he caught?” A murderous look appeared on the Empress Dowager’s old face as she asked coldly.

Xiao Yan lowered his gaze to conceal his emotions. “Not yet. However, Imperial Grandmother need not worry about this matter. 1 will handle it myself.”

“Sigh, 1 was recuperating outside before. Although I know that you have suffered grievances in the imperial capital, I never thought that someone would harm you like this. It’s clear they want to ruin your reputation.” The Empress Dowager sighed faintly and gently grabbed Xiao Yan’s hand, patting it. She said earnestly, “But Xiao Jiu, the person who has suffered the most is still Qianqian. She is a young girl, and I simply cannot imagine what she has gone through in the past seven years.”

“Don’t worry, Imperial Grandmother. I will compensate her and the two children,” Xiao Yan said calmly.

“Not only you, 1 also have to cherish her,” The Empress Dowager was filled with regret. “Why didn’t you tell me about this earlier? That poor child had to copy the scriptures for almost an hour! Nanny Jin, come in quickly!”

Nanny Jin entered the palace and asked, “What are your orders, Empress Dowager?”

“Quickly, go and invite Su Qian to the main hall. Remember, treat her well, and don’t let her suffer any grievances!” The Empress Dowager said hurriedly.

Nanny Jin blinked her eyes in disbelief, almost thinking that she had misheard, and asked weakly, “Empress Dowager, didn’t you order Miss Su to copy the scriptures as a punishment? It hasn’t even been two hours yet…”

“Forget about copying the scriptures? From today onwards, Miss Su doesn’t have to do anything! Alright, hurry up and go.” The Empress Dowager urged Nanny Jin to leave.

“Imperial Grandmother, when you see Qianqian later, please don’t mention anything about the children. She is very sensitive about this matter. Just pretend that you don’t know anything.” Xiao Yan hurriedly reminded.

“Alright, I will not tell anyone.” As a mother herself, the Empress Dowager naturally understood a mother’s instinct to protect her child. So she had no reason to refuse. She nodded her head and a figure strode in through the door..
