The Queen Mother asked a question, but before Zhou Ruo could open his mouth, Lin Qingqing spoke first.

"When the Imperial Concubine came, she was very unhappy to see me holding An'er, and she insisted on taking An'er back. Well, she is the child's mother, and there is nothing wrong with giving the child to her, but for some reason, An'er kept crying in her arms. I reminded her that An'er didn't like to be held horizontally, he is older now, and he likes to be held vertically, especially lying on an adult's shoulder, but the Imperial Concubine didn't listen. I was anxious for a moment, so I thought of taking An'er back."

Lin Qingqing raised her eyes to glance at the Queen Mother and said softly, "The Imperial Concubine refused to give me the child, so I tried to force her. In the end, it turned out like what the Queen Mother saw when she came in... Mother, I really know I was wrong."

Zhou Ruo on the side opened and closed his mouth, and he felt like tearing Lin Qingqing to pieces in his heart, but he could only keep a straight expression and dared not reveal any anger.

The Queen Mother turned to look at Zhou Ruo and asked in a deep voice, "Is that what she said?"

Zhou Ruo took a deep breath, and when he looked up again, his eyes were red.

"Mother, it's not that I'm stingy, it's really... it's really that Concubine Xian is bullying me too much." Zhou Ruo's voice was choked with sobs, as if she was enduring something, "She said that she wanted to take An'er away from me."

"Mother, my An'er is a living person, not a tool for vying for favor. Moreover, if Concubine Xian wants him, she can take him, and if she wants to dislike him, she can dislike him. What does she think of our An'er?"

"I was really angry and felt choked up. I didn't want her to touch my child. I didn't want it to end up like this. As a mother, I really couldn't stand others treating my child like this."

Lin Qingqing on the side looked at Zhou Ruo coldly and said slowly, "You are just pretending. It's a pity that you don't become an imperial censor with such eloquence."

"It's just that you avoided the main point and put all the faults on me. Why didn't you mention why the child was crying in your arms?"

The Queen Mother frowned and looked at Zhou Ruo solemnly: "So, what's going on?"

Zhou Ruo pursed her lips and finally said softly, "I was not calm in my heart, so I used too much strength, which made the child uncomfortable... Mother, I know I was wrong. I should have controlled my emotions better and not lost my sense of proportion because of other people's anger and ended up hurting the child."

When Lin Qingqing heard these remarks, she could only sneer in her heart.

"Let me see how long you can pretend." Lin Qingqing said coldly.

Zhou Ruo lowered his head, pretending not to hear Lin Qingqing's words.

The Queen Mother stared at the two of them for a long time, and finally said to Lin Qingqing: "She is the child's biological mother, so she naturally loves the child the most. You went too far this time."

Lin Qingqing lowered her eyes: "Yes, I understand."

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "I know that you are different now and you really love An'er, but sometimes you shouldn't interfere in other people's affairs. You need to know your limits."

Lin Qingqing said obediently: "I understand what my mother taught me."

The Queen Mother nodded: "Okay, you go back first."

Lin Qingqing didn't say much. When the Queen Mother asked her to go back, she got up and went out obediently.

The Queen Mother and Zhou Ruo were the only ones left in the room.

The Queen Mother drank a sip of tea slowly, then lowered her eyes to look at Zhou Ruo and said slowly: "Noble Concubine Shun, do you know you are wrong?"
