Chapter 4015: 4.1615 It's Good to Have a Mother

"Wife." Mo Lian took her small hand, smiling as he blinked at her. "Don't be angry, your husband will sort them out."

Lord Qiaoqiao glanced at him sideways. "So, you have a plan?"

Mo Lian nodded emphatically, with a somewhat exasperated expression. "Mother's illness is almost cured; it's time she moved around more. Let's go pick up Mother first, then go see Father Emperor."

Qiao Mu couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth. Thinking of the poor Emperor, she silently lit a candle for him in her heart.

You raised such a troublesome son; are you aware of it?

"Wife, what's with that look?" Mo Lian chuckled, poking her small face, then leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Don't be angry with your husband, okay?"

"Your husband will definitely handle everything perfectly!" He stole a kiss, smiling as he winked at her.

Lord Qiaoqiao gave him an annoyed look. If this guy hadn't exhausted her, how could she have flat-out refused the old lady's invitation?

If she had some energy, she would have played along with the old lady; she wasn't afraid of her.

The young couple rode in a carriage all the way to the Emperor's Jichen Palace.

They didn't rush to see the Emperor; they went to see his mother first...

The Empress, upon hearing that her two young children had arrived, seemed very pleased. Her previously pale cheeks now had a rosy, warm glow.

As soon as Crown Prince Mo saw his mother, he pouted and pulled his wife's small hand, running over. The moment he met the Empress, he poured out his grievances. "Mother, your son's wife is about to be bullied to death."

This troublesome Crown Prince rattled on and on: the Empress Dowager allowed her unruly servants to barge into the Eastern Palace's bedchamber, and they even spoke insolently to his wife, refusing to be disciplined.

After he angrily ordered them beaten to death, the Empress Dowager wanted to cause trouble for the young couple again, and so on.

Right or wrong, complain first!

The little deadpan sat expressionlessly on a small stool in front of the Empress, obediently placing her small hands on her knees. Her pitiful appearance immediately resonated deeply with everyone in the Empress's palace.

The Empress looked at her taciturn daughter-in-law, then immediately became indignant. "These unruly servants are truly audacious!"

The several mammies and palace maids around the Empress were all confidantes of the Emperor and Empress.

For years, they had stayed indoors, caring for the Empress in the underground ice palace, and didn't know much about the little deadpan Crown Princess.

Now, after the Crown Prince's description, they all secretly sympathized with the little Crown Princess in their hearts. So young, with no background in the imperial city, and constantly bullied by the old lady—how pitiful.

"Come with me to see your Father Emperor!" The Empress was furious! She stood up and ordered someone to help her change, intending to accompany her son and daughter-in-law to the Imperial Study to have a good talk with the Emperor.

"Mother," Crown Prince Mo said, sounding wronged, "A few days ago, Qiaoqiao needed a relatively quiet environment to make the Soul-Returning Pill for Mother. The palace was too noisy, so we moved to Qiaoqiao's maiden home for a while, and that old lady held a grudge against Qiaoqiao because of it."

The little one sat obediently on the small stool, looking quiet and demure.

The Empress affectionately pulled her up and stroked the child's head. "Our Qiaoqiao has been wronged."

"Don't worry, I'll talk to your father! We can't let anyone wrong you two." The Empress looked displeased, muttering softly, "Constant trouble, year after year."
