Chapter 315 "If you dare to treat Qianqian badly, I will not forgive you!"
Sunlight streamed through the carved window lattices, illuminating the magnificent palace. Murong Yi and Lin Qianqian respectfully accompanied the Empress Dowager and the Emperor in casual conversation; the atmosphere was initially relaxed and harmonious.
The Empress Dowager sighed softly, her expression filled with heartache and indignation: "Alas, I never imagined that this woman could be so ruthless, actually trying to harm my grandson. I warned you before that this woman was merciless! But you just wouldn't listen!" As she spoke, she looked at Murong Yi.
Upon hearing this, Murong Yi stiffened slightly, slowly lowered his head, and a trace of regret and self-reproach flashed across his face. His hands unconsciously clenched, and he remained silent.
The Empress Dowager turned to face Lin Qianqian, her face instantly changing to a gentle and loving smile. She gently took Lin Qianqian's hand, patted it affectionately, and said, "Qianqian is so sensible. The first time I saw you, I knew you were kind-hearted. Since you entered the Prince's Mansion, you have done your best in everything, managing the entire mansion in an orderly manner, and you are always considerate of Yi'er. Such virtue and gentleness are the model for my royal daughter-in-law."
Lin Qianqian's cheeks flushed slightly, and she said shyly, "Mother, I only did what I could."
At this moment, the Emperor smiled gently and nodded slightly: "Sister-in-law, there is no need for modesty. Since you married Ninth Brother, you have managed the Prince's Mansion in an orderly manner, treated the servants with kindness and compassion, and even used your own dowry to help disaster victims on many occasions. I have heard about your kindness and generosity, and you are truly a blessing to our royal family."
Hearing the praise from everyone, Lin Qianqian blushed, her eyes sparkled with humility, and a gentle smile played on her lips. She lowered her head slightly, looking shy and bashful. Her hands unconsciously tugged at the hem of her clothes, as if she was embarrassed by such straightforward praise.
Seeing this, Murong stepped forward, cupped his hands in a deep bow, and said with a face full of remorse, "Mother, it is all my fault for being blind and unable to see Su Wan'er's venomous heart. I believed her pretense and that's why we are in this situation today. It is all my fault. I shouldn't have married her, bringing shame to the royal family and almost harming Qianqian and our child." As he spoke, his eyes were filled with self-reproach and regret.
The Empress Dowager glanced at Murong Yi, then at Lin Qianqian, and gently tapped Murong Yi's shoulder, feigning anger: "You!" Then she took Lin Qianqian's hand, her expression concerned and solemn: "You'd better treat Qianqian better in the future, otherwise, I won't forgive you."
Murong Yi quickly replied, "Mother, please rest assured, I will do everything in my power to protect Qianqian and never let her suffer any more grievances."
Lin Qianqian raised her eyes, looking tenderly at Murong Yi, then turned to the Empress Dowager, and said softly, "Mother, the Prince is of pure nature, but he was blinded for a time. Besides, he has already realized his mistake, and he has been feeling very guilty these days. I hope Mother will not blame him too much."
Upon hearing this, Murong Yi's eyes flashed with emotion, mixed with even deeper guilt, and she couldn't help but tighten her grip on Lin Qianqian's hand.
Seeing this, the Emperor smiled warmly and calmly tried to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, let bygones be bygones. It's a good thing that Ninth Brother and his wife are living in harmony now, and Mother should be happy too."
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager smiled with relief, her eyes filled with love and expectations for the younger generation. She nodded gently, "Yes, as long as you are all well, I can rest assured."
At this moment, everything became joyful and warm. Amidst the laughter and chatter, the previous gloom was swept away. Everyone was immersed in this rare family bliss, feeling that life was peaceful and the world was stable.
