Old Mrs. Zhang looked at him with a smile and said, "So they all said that although His Highness the Crown Prince is taciturn, everything is in his heart."

When Pei Yuanxiu heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

After a while, he smiled and said, "The old man said yes."

Although this "Crown Prince" did not grow up with her milk, she was always hanging out in the palace. I think Pei Yuanxiu also met this nurse a lot when he was a child. Since Mrs. Zhang is Pei Yuanhao's nurse, she is a slave on the surface, but even an elder of their generation, she is also a kind person when speaking, and he is also respectful.

Old Mrs. Zhang smiled and slowly looked at me.

I don’t know if it’s because of fatigue or strangeness, she squinted her eyes slightly. I almost thought she was going to doze off, but she looked at her son: “Huaiyi.”

Song Huaiyi immediately said, "Mom, what's the matter?"

"Who is this person?"

“…”

Song Huaiyi glanced at me and immediately looked at Pei Yuanxiu. Pei Yuanxiu nodded slightly at him. Then Song Huaiyi said, "This is Miss Yan."

"Miss Yan?"

"That's right. Didn't you talk about her before?"

"Miss Yan..."

The old lady showed a confused look on her face. Although I don’t know why she “talked” me, I think that as a woman in Pei Yuanhao’s harem, she had experienced so many things when she traveled around the world. Although she left the palace early and had never had contact with me, my name and what I had done had probably reached the ears of Pei Yuanhao’s nanny.

She slowly walked towards me.

I stood beside Pei Yuanxiu and didn't move until she walked in front of me. She reached out to my shoulder with one hand, as if I was about to touch me and I was sure if it was true. I shook it a little. After all, I was not used to being touched by a stranger I met for the first time.

Pei Yuanxiu crossed his hand from behind and held my waist to let me stand firm.

Then, Old Lady Zhang reached out and grabbed my hand.

I whispered: "Old lady..."

She didn't say anything, and the wrinkled face came to me, blinking her eyes, not looking up and down like she was at Pei Yuanxiu, but focused on my eyes, as if she was trying to find something out from my eyes.

I became more and more uncomfortable by the old man's unblocked gaze of exploration.

When she looked at my eyes, her hands were not idle at all. She gently pinched my palms, then her fingertips, and thoroughly rubbed my soft hands. Somehow, I was still funny in my heart and thought that I had just washed my hands. If I had dirty things, I would be afraid that I would rub my black mud.

Just then, Old Lady Zhang suddenly smiled and said, "How could this be Miss Yan!"

Everyone around me was shocked, and I was also stunned.

The next moment, she had already held my hand hard and pulled my hand into her arms: "This is clearly my daughter-in-law!"

ah?!

I was stunned. Although this old man was old and confused, he was very strong. She was so staggered by me that I almost hit her. Fortunately, Pei Yuanxiu was quick-eyed and quickly pulled my shoulder and whispered: "What's going on?"

I couldn't react either - what's going on?

The old man was holding my hand with a smile, holding one hand and patting the back of my hand with the other, and said happily: "Daughter-in-law, this is my daughter-in-law!"

Everyone around was also amused and crying by her. Song Huaiyi hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her arm: "Mom, what are you doing? Let her go."

"This is my daughter-in-law, why should I let go?"

"This is not-"

"That's it!"

"mother……"

A big man like Song Huaiyi was at a loss when facing his old and child-like mother. He could only grab her arm to prevent her from dragging me again, while raising his head and saying to Pei Yuanxiu: "Young Master, please forgive me. My mother has been in poor spirits over the years and is a little dazed, and she often recognizes the wrong people around her. Now, I am afraid it's-"

I'm afraid I'm sick all of a sudden.

I immediately came to my senses. Many elderly people will be confused when they reach this age, and even if they don’t recognize their children, this situation is not uncommon. However, it is useless to understand. She just grabbed me and refused to let go. Fortunately, this old man loves cleaning and does not have long nails and nail covers like other rich old ladies. Otherwise, with her strength, holding my hand, the back of my hand would be scratched.

She grabbed me and was still muttering: "Daughter-in-law, come here, I have something to tell you."

I was so amused and crying, but I still tried my best to keep myself from being dragged away by her. Pei Yuanxiu's hand that was originally held behind me had already wrapped around my waist, and his other hand grabbed my arm and prevented me from being dragged away. He was not angry when he heard Song Huaiyi's explanation. He just looked at Old Lady Zhang for a while and whispered: "Old man, this is not your daughter-in-law, she is - mine."

Old Mrs. Zhang looked up at him and immediately said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, don't you have decided?"

“…”

"It's the marriage that the Queen has made for you early in the morning."

“…”

"We all know that inside and outside the palace, it is the lady of the Nangong family. Although the emperor said that it was too early to talk about this, he did not say that it was not possible. I think she is good. If she becomes the crown princess in the future, you two will fall in love with each other."

“…”

"This is my daughter-in-law."

Pei Yuanxiu's face slowly calmed down.

However, he was not angry, but seemed to be somewhere led by the old man's nagging words. Perhaps it was the whirlpool of memory that made him feel a little dazed and even a little confused. Even the hand holding my waist was slightly loosened.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! I looked back at him and didn't say anything for a while.

I don't understand this past between him and Pei Yuanhao and Nangong Lizhu, but I know that he married Nangong Lizhu as the crown princess as the end of that entangled past.

It was also the ending night that completely changed my life.

I was almost at a loss, and my hand sank. Old Mrs. Zhang pulled me over, patted the back of my hand affectionately, and said softly: "Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, why haven't you come to see my old woman for so long?"

I looked up at her and suddenly felt a little dazed.

She looks like a lonely old man who needs care. When she sees her younger generation, she seeks comfort in a sore way. There are many elderly people I have come into contact with, from the Queen Mother to Xue Qian, from Aunt Hong to Uncle Ai. Of course, they all love and blame me, but none of them are as intimate as this old man, and it seems that I should be filial to her and respect her.

I was silent for a moment, looked at the people around me who didn’t know what to say, and said softly: “I was wrong, I should come and see you more.”

As soon as I admit my mistake, she became even happier. She almost pinched one of my arms under her arm and pulled me and said, "It's good to know that I'm wrong. Then, you are here this time, you are not allowed to leave easily. You have to stay and spend more time with me."

I subconsciously looked back and saw Pei Yuanxiu standing behind me, looking solemn, not as if he was very happy.

Song Huaiyi and the others are obviously very sensitive. As Mrs. Zhang, they called me "daughter-in-law". Even if they knew that she was and were confused, the deep meanings would inevitably make people think too much and make people feel restless.

So, Song Huaiyi hurriedly pulled her sleeve and said, "Mom, since you have returned, don't always hold on to her."

"But I let go, what should I do if she leaves again?"

"She won't leave."

"Really?"

"Look, look at where people are standing here, where they are leaving. Mom, you will scare them like this."

When he heard Song Huaiyi say this, he finally let go of my arm, but he still held my hand and said carefully: "You aren't scared by me, are you?"

I smiled and shook my head.

Song Huaiyi immediately said, "Mom, don't keep holding others and sit down and watch the show for a while. They are watching the show here, but after you quarrel, you can't watch the show anymore."

As the saying goes, old children, old children, look like children as they get older. In addition, the old man is already a little confused. When he heard about watching a show, he smiled with joy and said hurriedly: "Okay, okay, come, let's watch a show."

Song Huaiyi walked up to Pei Yuanxiu carefully and apologized to him. I could see that Pei Yuanxiu's face was not very good-looking, but he didn't get angry. Even when Old Lady Zhang took me to the stairs, he helped her. When he went up the steps, his hand was always stuck behind me, as if supporting my waist.

Old Mrs. Zhang and I sat down to the place where we just sat, and Pei Yuanxiu silently asked someone to add a chair next to him to sit down.

As soon as I sat down, the singing started.

Because the old man likes to watch lively scenes, there are gongs and drums on the stage, and the colorful ribbons are flying together, and a happy and lively scene is enjoyable. Old Mrs. Zhang is watching it with relish.

I gradually became quiet, but of course the following drama couldn't attract my attention. No matter how lively it was, it could not withstand the fatigue. I finally couldn't help but yawn with my mouth.

Old Mrs. Zhang immediately turned to look at me: "Are you sleepy?"

I forced a smile: "A little."

"Can't you sleep well?"

"Uh, that's OK."

"I can't sleep well, and I don't know what's going on outside. I've been making trouble all night and my eyes can't close. My daughter-in-law..."

She grabbed my hand and never let go. At this time, she gently stroked the back of my hand and explained with concern: "The people outside are sinister. Don't go out easily, beware of people's words."
