The Queen Mother slammed the table, her anger flaring up, her eyes filled with rage.

"First it was Xuan Zheng, then it was the Lin family. If they make things difficult for the Zhuge family, I will make things difficult for them too."

"I was able to drive Xuan Zheng, that heartless little bastard, out of the capital. The Lin family really thinks that I am too old to do anything to them, right?"

"My Zhuge family has lost two children one after another. This debt must be attributed to Xuan Zheng."

"Let's not talk about Xuan Zheng for now. As for the Lin family, I must let them know today that the consequences of offending the Zhuge family are not something they can bear."

The nanny stood aside with her hands down and said nothing.

The Queen Mother snorted coldly, "Go, invite the Emperor over, and tell him that I have something to discuss with him."

Mammy replied respectfully, "Yes."

A moment later, the maid who went to invite the emperor came back, trembling with fear but could only suppress the fear in her heart, not daring to make any mistakes, "Empress Dowager, the emperor is discussing state affairs with the ministers at the moment, and no one is allowed to disturb him."

The Queen Mother didn't care what the Emperor was doing and immediately got angry. What an unfilial son! Now that he became the Emperor, he dared to disobey her.

"If you fail to invite her again, you don't have to come back." The empress dowager's tone was light, but it frightened the palace maid so much that her face turned pale and she didn't know what to do for a moment.

The emperor is busy, and even if she had the courage, she would not dare to disturb the emperor from handling state affairs.

But the Empress Dowager didn't think about these things, and only knew how to make things difficult for the palace maids.

The palace maid had no choice but to ask for help again.

Putting aside whether she would die if she disturbed the emperor, if she dared to say another word now, the empress dowager was already furious and would probably take her life directly.

After the maid left, the Queen Mother curled her lips and said, "Look at you, all of them think that I am old and my words are useless, so they dare to neglect me."

The nanny pretended not to understand her indirect criticism and said some words to cheer her up. The empress dowager's expression eased a little and she closed her eyes to recuperate.

Only when the emperor comes will I have the energy to compete with him.

But the palace maid never returned. The empress dowager waited for a long time with all her might, but the emperor did not come.

She frowned, a sharp light flashed in her eyes, "What's going on? Even if the emperor is very busy, but I have something to do here, he should make time to come over anyway. Is he going to leave his biological mother alone like this?"

The Queen Mother became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. She felt that nothing could go her way. "Send someone else to invite her. As for that maid, since she is useless, just kill her."

The palace people felt a chill in their hearts, and they felt a sense of sadness that their lives were even less valuable than those of ants.

But none of them dared to speak for the palace maid.

It is not easy to survive in this palace. Anyone who dares to talk too much when the Empress Dowager is angry will seek his own death.

"That maid is useless, so she can't come back to serve you anymore." The nanny advised gently, "It doesn't matter whether she's dead or alive, but if the emperor finds out, he'll definitely be unhappy. It won't be good if it interferes with your important plans."

The Queen Mother thought the same and waved her hand impatiently, saying, "Then send her somewhere else. I don't want to see her."

Mammy replied, “Yes.”

The Queen Mother guessed that the Emperor was probably worried that she would force him to deal with the Lin family, so he couldn't refuse.

In that case, she came by herself.

"Come here, pass on my imperial decree to have Lin Ruhai's wife come into the palace. I want to see her."

"Yes."

When the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict arrived at the Lin Mansion, Jia Min was stunned at first, and then hurried to the front hall to receive the order.

The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict was proud of his status. He looked up at people with his nose in the air. Even when he met Princess Le'an, who was personally conferred a title by the Emperor, there was not a trace of respect on his face.

After Jia Min heard this, she felt a little uneasy and asked, "What did the Empress Dowager say?"

The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict thought she was too long-winded and said impatiently: "The Empress Dowager is such a noble person. Instead of telling you to pack up and follow me to the palace, you are talking nonsense here. Do you want to make the Empress Dowager wait for you?!"

Lin Daiyu frowned and was about to step forward to teach this indifferent man a lesson, but Jia Min stopped her and said to the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict, "Please wait a moment, eunuch."

The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict looked at him from the corner of his eyes, with an appearance of taking advantage of the power of others. "Why don't you hurry up? If the Empress Dowager gets angry, we can't afford it."

Jia Min ordered the maids to serve tea and snacks and not to delay, and then she hurried to the back.

Lin Daiyu followed beside him, and the two of them walked very quickly. She said, "Mother, I will go with you later."

Without thinking, Jia Min said, "The Queen Mother has only summoned me. If you go with her, I'm afraid there will be another dispute. The situation is not good now, so let's not cause trouble."

But it was obvious that the Empress Dowager was up to no good this time. How could Lin Daiyu feel at ease if Jia Min entered the palace alone?

She was so smart that she figured out the key after just a little thought.

"I'm afraid the Empress Dowager's decision this time is not because of Zhuge Yunfei's matter. Although mother will not be in any danger if she enters the palace alone, she will probably suffer some grievances."

Several maids surrounded Jia Min, tidying up the mess quickly. Jia Min sighed and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. She's the high and mighty Empress Dowager. What can we do if she reprimands us? It's all in vain."

Lin Daiyu said angrily, "It was obviously Zhuge Yunfei who was rude first. If it was before, he would never have dared to stop a car in the street, let alone say offensive words. It's just a case of everyone pushing the wall down when it falls."

"Who said it wasn't?" Jia Min quickly packed up, stood up and walked out. "The situation is unclear now. Even if we are angry, we should be careful about what we say and do. The more critical the moment, the more we must not let them get hold of our family's handle."

As for Zhuge Yunfei's matter, hum, God just doesn't like him and wants to send lightning to strike him. What does it have to do with Chengyu?

No matter what, no one has any evidence to prove that Chengyu did it.

The Queen Mother summoned her into the palace because she was probably very angry and wanted to vent her anger on someone.

When Jia Min got into the car, she was still thinking that although their Lin family was certainly not as prominent and noble as the princes and nobles, they could not be beaten and killed at will.

As long as the Queen Mother can't find any fault with them, I think she won't be able to punish them just by using that thunder. It will just be a waste of words.

But she didn't know the current Empress Dowager and didn't know what kind of person she was. So when she stepped into the Empress Dowager's palace and heard the Empress Dowager's angry words "Do you know your crime?", she was stunned on the spot.

Jia Min knelt down and saluted with a respectful attitude, not finding any fault with it. "Your humble servant is dull and does not know what the Empress Dowager is talking about. Please tell me clearly, Your Majesty."
