Chapter 383 It’s over, It’s over, Just Stay Calm

Everyone was confused.

They looked at each other.

Biological children.

What does that mean?

Su Wan was also stunned. They all reached a tacit understanding that the identity would be announced at the right time.

Otherwise, Qi Min would be criticized.

It would be bad for her reputation if it was said that she was not a good woman.

She looked at the regent and Qi Min who were sitting across from her. The regent looked at her with a gentle expression, as if telling her that no matter what happened, he would protect her. Qi Min smiled gently and told her not to worry.

A warm current surged in Su Wan's heart. She knew why they wanted to announce her background. It was because of Gu Huaizhi's current status. There would always be people who coveted his backyard and wanted to climb up this big tree and make the family rise in the future.

Even a more powerful woman would replace her.

After all, in the eyes of the world, her family was in decline, and her only support was Gu Huaizhi. Without the favor of a man, she had nothing.

Mother and father did not want her to be bullied and suffer these grievances, so they were not afraid of these rumors, as long as she lived a stable life.

The Queen Mother was the first to break the silence with a smile: "Wanwan is my niece, the emperor's cousin. It will be difficult in the future. Should the emperor call Wanwan cousin or sister-in-law?"

"Sister-in-law, cousin, both are fine." Su Wan introduced herself to everyone generously: "My name is Ji Lingzhao."

This was a response to the words of the regent.

Everyone had complicated thoughts. Su Wan was of royal blood, and the Gu family and the royal family were closer.

Their wish to use women to climb up to Gu Huaizhi was unsuccessful.

The regent announced this news just to warn them.

They looked at Su Wan, then at the Regent, and finally at Qi Min, secretly shocked. Qi Min gave birth to a child after marrying Su Jihong. She either tasted the forbidden fruit before marriage or had an affair with the Regent after marriage, making Su Jihong a grandson and raising a child for others.

Thinking of this, they couldn't help but secretly look at Qi Min. What kind of charm does this woman have? After getting married, she can still seduce the Regent and never marry for her. In the end, she still picked up a worn-out shoe to wear.

Qi Min was calm and composed. At this age, she had experienced life and death. Nothing is more important than the happiness of the person she loves. The eyes of the world are irrelevant to her.

The Regent held her hand and whispered in her ear: "Your body has recovered. We will leave Beijing in a few days."

"Okay." Qi Min smiled and nodded.

Two major events happened on the Empress Dowager's birthday, and many people couldn't sit still.

As soon as the banquet was over, everyone left in groups, all gathered together to talk secretly, discussing that all plans had been abandoned, and they should live their lives in peace and not think about taking shortcuts and offending several big Buddhas.

Su Wan, Gu Huaizhi and Gu Jiaojiao followed the Regent and Qi Min out of the palace.

Gu's mother and Gu Baozhu stayed in the palace and reminisced with Jingyun.

——

In the embroidery building, a piece of "Glorious Times" was completed. Everyone was very tired, and the proprietress closed the shop for a day.

Ruan Yan lived in the backyard of the embroidery building, looking absent-mindedly in the direction of the palace, wondering if anyone had discovered the mystery and punished Su Wan?

But calm down and think about it, if Su Wan pointed out that it was the fault of the embroidery building, and investigated it strictly, would it be her fault?

Thinking of this, Ruan Yan's heart "clicked" and she was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat. She hurried back to the wing room to pick up the bag and ran away quickly.

With a creaky sound, she opened the door to the backyard and saw a row of guards outside. She was so frightened that her heart skipped a beat and her legs went weak as she fell to the ground.
