Zhou Ruo pursed her lips and said nothing.

The Queen Mother: "You don't know, or you don't have the face to say it?"

Zhou Ruo lowered his head even more and remained silent.

The Queen Mother stared at her for a while, and finally said slowly: "As a mother, you are not as caring for the child as an outsider. Concubine Shun, you are so hard-hearted."

Zhou Ruo felt as if he was hit on the head with a stick. He suddenly woke up with a start.

She... had never really been a mother.

Perhaps, when the child was just born, she was still thinking about loving the child well, as this would be her lifelong support. She also really wanted to be good to the child and work hard to be a mother.

However, on the one hand, the child was raised by the Queen Mother and was always closer to her. On the other hand, her state of mind gradually changed, and her energy was focused on other things, and she did not pay more attention to the child.

As time went by, my feelings for this child grew weaker and weaker.

She had never been a real mother to begin with, and now she had forgotten even to pretend.

Therefore, in the dispute with Lin Qingqing, she was only concerned about winning or losing with Lin Qingqing and completely ignored the child's feelings.

The Queen Mother's question just now pointed out the problem at once, leaving her with nowhere to hide.

Zhou Ruo took a deep breath and said, "Mother, I...know I was wrong."

The Queen Mother sighed deeply and said softly, "Perhaps, it is my fault. I shouldn't have separated you and your son from each other in the first place. This is why you and your son became alienated and ended up in this situation."

Zhou Ruo panicked and said quickly, "That's not the case. How could it be the Queen Mother's fault? It's my fault. I, I didn't care enough about An'er. I am an incompetent mother."

Zhou Ruo looked up at the Queen Mother and said, "I will definitely pay more attention to An'er in the future, care more about him, and let him grow up safely and happily."

The Queen Mother looked at Zhou Ruo for a while, then suddenly asked, "Do you want to take An'er back home to raise him?"

Zhou Ruo's first reaction was: if the child is left with the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother will give her enough face for the sake of the child, which can be regarded as a way out for her. If the child is not with the Queen Mother and the relationship fades, will the Queen Mother still protect the Second Prince?

So, Zhou Ruo said in a panic: "Mother, I really know I was wrong, you, you don't do this..."

Queen Mother: "Don't you want to raise the child yourself?"

"It's best for An'er to be here with the Queen Mother and have her careful care." Zhou Ruo said quickly, "Besides, he grew up by the Queen Mother's side and has long been accustomed to everything here. If he is suddenly asked to change his environment, he may not be able to adapt."

The Queen Mother was silent for a while, and then she said slowly: "I understand."

"An'er, I will take good care of you, don't worry."

Zhou Ruo said softly, "With the Queen Mother taking care of you, I am naturally most relieved."

The Queen Mother waved her hand and said, "I am tired too. You should go back today and come back to see An'er another day."

Zhou Ruo pursed her lips, still feeling a little uneasy.

But the Queen Mother had asked her to leave, so she could not stay any longer. She could only get up and leave, looking back every few steps.

After Zhou Ruo left, the Queen Mother sighed, looked at Qiuyue in the corner, and said slowly: "What do you think of Concubine Shun?"

Qiuyue came out from the corner and whispered, "What does the Queen Mother mean?"
