The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

Passers-by all lamented: "Master Zhuang is such a jerk. How could he harm his grandson like this?"

"This can't be entirely blamed on Master Zhuang. It's because Lord Chen kept dominating his son. If he had adopted Master Chen into the Zhuang family earlier, Master Chen wouldn't have gone crazy."

After a few days, people knew that Chen Yanqing had written a letter back to his family to remove Chen Qianmo from the family name and to relocate Zhuang Lanhe's grave.

Who would have thought that when they started digging, they found out that Zhuang Lanhe's coffin was empty.

This instantly became a strange story in the world. It was said that Master Zhuang must have known in his afterlife that his daughter's tomb had been robbed, so he sent this message to Chen Yanqing in a dream.

Anyway, no matter what, the Chen family immediately reported the matter to the authorities. Since the matter involved a senior official of the current dynasty, the court attached great importance to it and immediately sent people to investigate from all sides.

After checking, it turned out that Zhuang Lanhe was not dead, but eloped with someone. Now she is back to help Chen Qianmo fight for the Chen family's property.

Unexpectedly, even God could not bear it. Chen Qianmo could not bear the shock and went crazy. Master Zhuang also frequently appeared in his dreams, and the truth finally came to light.

Things were always as bizarre as they could be. In the end, the emperor specifically ordered Chen Yanqing and the deceased Zhuang Lanhe to divorce, deprived Xu Tongfu of his fame, and even made the story of this couple into an opera that was performed all over the world.

From then on, the Xu family members either lived a life worse than death or disappeared, and Chen Qianmo remained crazy.

A few months later, Xiaoju was walking in the garden with Meng Wenyao, when a maid suddenly came to report, "Madam, Master Zhuang has been shouting that he wants to see his brother, and he is desperately rushing in."

"Stop him. The elder said that he is not allowed to come in."

As soon as Xiaoju finished speaking, she saw Meng Wenyao's face looked a little ugly: "Madam?"

"My stomach hurts. I might be giving birth soon." Meng Wen Yao said while stroking her belly.

"Quick, carry the lady to the delivery room, and inform the elder that the lady is about to give birth."

The entire Chen Mansion immediately began to turn like a huge wheel. Everything was in order, except for the mad Chen Qianmo at the gate, who was shouting for his brother.

Chen Yanqing, who hurried back from the yamen, saw Chen Qianmo's appearance, sighed, and walked into the mansion.

Soon, a loud baby cry echoed over the Chen Mansion, and Chen Qianmo, who was outside the mansion, suddenly became clear-headed.

"Listen, it's my brother crying."

"Yes, sir, let's go back and come to see the young master tomorrow." Liu Ruyan coaxed from the side.

"Okay." Chen Qianmo was confused again; "I'll buy some candied haws for my brother tomorrow."

Liu Ruyan supported the crazy Chen Qianmo and left the Chen Mansion, looking back every few steps.

In the Chen Mansion, Meng Wen Yao and Chen Yan Qing immediately faced a thorny problem after the birth of their child.

"My dear, when we hold the full moon banquet for our child, there will be so many guests coming and going. If Zhuang Qianmo insists on barging in, we can't make such a scene. He is crazy and insane."

For a madman, it is really hard to deal with him in any way. If you deal with him too harshly, it will seem inhumane, but if you deal with him too leniently, it will only make things worse.

Chen Yanqing looked at his sleeping child and felt a little guilty when he thought of his family whom he had not contacted for more than ten years.

"You should take good care of yourself first. Then we will go back to our hometown to hold a full-month banquet for the child and let my mother meet him."

After just two sentences, Meng Wen Yao saw tears flashing in Chen Yanqing's eyes. No matter how lonely Chen Yanqing looked, he must still miss his mother in his heart.

Especially after so many years, he was completely deceived and had so much estrangement with his mother due to misunderstandings.

"it is good."

A month later, according to the Chen family genealogy, Chen Yanqing had a real wife and a legitimate son, and his relationship with his family gradually eased.

No one mentioned Chen Qianmo anymore. Liu Ruyan sold the house in the Zhuang Mansion and no one knew where she took him.

Decades passed in a flash, and Chen Yanqing had retired from his position as cabinet minister, spending his days at home enjoying his grandchildren.

One day, some grandchild bumped into the table and scattered the letters all over the floor. Meng Wenyao leaned on her crutches and threatened, "Don't run around, or I'll spank you."

This made Chen Yanqing so distressed that he immediately took his grandson away and said, "Don't be afraid, dear grandson. Grandpa will protect you."

"Just spoil your child. If he grows up and starts to tear the roof off the house, you will suffer the consequences!!"

Chen Yanqing listened to Meng Wenyao telling him not to spoil the children. In his impression, all his children were strictly disciplined and no one was spoiled. But it seemed like there was someone in his mind who he doted on, but he couldn't remember who it was.

Watching Chen Yanqing and his grandson leave, Meng Wen Yao directed the maid to pick up the letters on the ground. Each letter was unsigned and the paper looked a little yellowed.

Meng Wen Yao opened it out of curiosity and found that it contained information about the Xu family.

What time and place, where did the Xu family go, and what torture did they suffer? It seems that the Xu family members had passed away one after another due to various tortures within a few years of leaving the capital.

The one who lived the longest was Zhuang Qianmo. It seemed that his mind became clear after he left the capital, but he finally decided to become a monk and died fifteen years ago.

In a trance, those farces were still in front of her eyes, but in the blink of an eye, a lifetime had passed. Listening to the laughter of children in the yard and the sound of Chen Yanqing's crutches hitting the floor, Meng Wen Yao knew that this elder who was majestic to the children and feared by everyone in the court was now helpless against his grandchildren.

"You are not allowed to throw stones or climb trees, or I will tell your grandma, and she will beat you up."

Meng Wen Yao in the room chuckled when she heard this. The Prime Minister of the Cabinet, who was relying on the power of others to bully others, was really like a child.

She walked out with her cane. When she got to the yard, she saw snowflakes falling all over the sky. There was no one in the yard. She wondered, "Where is the elder? Where are the children?"

"Madam, the elder passed away a month ago. We are here to sort out his affairs. Do you want to go back to your room and rest now?" the little maid replied.

She looked at the snowflakes flying in the sky and tears flowed unconsciously. It turned out that he had left her, and she was the only one left in this world.

"Go back."

The next day, when the maid called Meng Wen Yao to get up, she found that Meng Wen Yao had passed away with a smile on her face. Soon, her children and grandchildren knelt all over the room.

"Mother was always in good health, how could she suddenly pass away? Was she cold or feeling unwell yesterday?"

The little maid recalled: "The Madam is not feeling unwell. She just sorted out the manuscripts of the old man yesterday. The Madam said that she missed him and wanted to talk to him."

As a result, all the children and grandchildren in the room were in tears. They all understood that after Chen Yanqing left, Meng Wen Yao no longer had the desire to live.

The falling snow covered the ground, and Meng Wen Yao and Chen Yan Qing finally slept together again.
