Grandmother Jia asked Jia Min to come over for no other reason.

Jia Yuanchun had someone pass the letter out. The letter only reported good news and not bad news. However, the last few sentences made Jia's mother hesitate.

Jia Yuanchun wanted her mother to come out of the Buddhist temple.

It is said that Jia Yuanchun is the eldest granddaughter taught by Grandmother Jia, and her understanding of Grandmother Jia is better than even Jia Min.

Before Jia Min got married, she received the most instruction from Duke Rong, while Jia Yuanchun was raised by Grandmother Jia alone.

Grandmother Jia had high hopes for her, but also felt a little guilty.

But at that time, Duke Rong had passed away, and the Jia family was on the verge of decline. Grandmother Jia was trying to support the huge Jia family alone, but she was really unable to do so.

She has two sons, one who only knows how to play and has no ambition, and the other who is pedantic, rigid and inflexible. Grandmother Jia knows that they do not have the ability to lead the Jia family back to the glory it had when the Duke was alive.

But Jia Yuanchun gave her hope.

This granddaughter, who was born on the first day of the first lunar month, was extremely intelligent since childhood. Grandmother Jia raised her by her side, taught her carefully, and sent her into the palace at the right time.

Over the years, Jia Yuanchun rose from an ordinary palace maid to a female historian in the imperial study. Grandmother Jia knew that she had tried her best.

Over the years, Yuanchun has been struggling in the deep palace for the sake of the Jia family, and Grandmother Jia does not want to reject her request.

Jia Min was silent. "But what Wang did was not only unkind as an elder, but also offended the prince. If the prince knew that the Jia family just lifted her up high and let her go lightly, Yuanchun's life in the palace would probably not be easy."

Grandmother Jia sighed, "I know that, but I couldn't bear to let Yuanchun down. She was so young back then, and for the future of the Jia family, I cruelly sent her to the palace..."

Jia Min barely raised the corner of her mouth, "So? What is mother's plan?"

Naturally, Grandmother Jia wanted Chengyu to come forward, but saying this was too blunt and might hurt the relationship between mother and daughter.

Jia Min's eyes were dim and her expression was a little ugly. She already had the answer in her heart, but she still held on to the last glimmer of fantasy.

With the same surname as Jia, isn’t she, as a daughter, worthy of her mother’s love?

She was in poor health, and after all these years she only had this pair of children. Her mother knew it.

In order to save her two children, she drank so much medicine and endured so much suffering during her pregnancy, and she almost died when giving birth to Chengyu.

Wang was so vicious that she wanted to destroy not only Chengyu's reputation, but also her life.

If His Majesty took the rumors seriously, he might let Chengyu die for Prince Linhuai.

It was common for powerful families to keep male favorites, and everyone was used to it, but that was done in private, and no family would publicly announce that they had a male favorite.

But now, her mother wanted to let her Chengyu suffer this loss for Yuanchun, and even wanted Chengyu to come forward to plead for mercy.

That Wang has such a big face!

For a moment, the house was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Grandmother Jia knew that given her daughter's personality, if she forced her into submission, it would be counterproductive. The only option now was to use weakness to gain strength.

Grandmother Jia is old, and the difference between her appearance before Jia Min went to Yangzhou is so great that it makes people sigh.

Jia Min is filial, but she will not be confused about this matter.

Jia Min knew Wang's character very well. If she let her off so easily this time, she would definitely have no taboos in the future.

Who knows what kind of trouble will happen then.

Tears were streaming down Jia Mu's old face, and her slightly cloudy eyes were covered with bloodshot lines. She looked very pitiful. Jia Min turned her head away and didn't want to look anymore.

Grandmother Jia's voice trembled: "Min'er, mother knows that if I let her go like this, I will be sorry for you and Chengyu, but mother really can't bear it."

Jia Min didn't say anything.

Grandmother Jia continued, "Your niece has been walking on thin ice in the palace. She has not asked for anything from her family for so many years. Now that she knows that Wang Shi has been imprisoned in the Buddhist temple, how can she not be sad if she is not released?"

Jia Min suddenly laughed, "We are all human beings. Mother, do you know that I can be sad?"

Grandmother Jia was silent for a moment. "But Chengyu is fine now. It's better to have less trouble than more. Let him talk to Prince Linhuai about it. Big things can be reduced to small things, and small things can be reduced to nothing. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"

Best of both worlds?

Jia Min was well-read, but now she didn't know what she meant by having the best of both worlds. "What is the best of both worlds? It's just asking us to swallow our anger. The best of both worlds that mother talked about is just the best of both the Jia family and the Wang family."

Grandmother Jia said, "You are also a member of the Jia family."

"Mother is right. I am also a member of the Jia family." Jia Min's beautiful eyes were filled with tears and her voice was choked with sobs. "But I am also Chengyu's mother. Wang was just imprisoned in the ancestral hall to reflect on herself. How can we give in?"

She couldn't help but sneer, "Does it take us kneeling three times and kowtow nine times to welcome that vicious woman out of the ancestral hall to appease Jia Yuanchun's heart?"

When these words came out, Jia's mother's face changed, "That's your niece."

Jia Min sneered, "She may not consider me her aunt."

Grandmother Jia was speechless for a moment. "When Yuanchun was young, you taught her to read and write. Don't you have any feelings for her now?"

Jia Min was very angry and didn't want to say anything more about it.

"She should just do her job well in the palace. Even if we want to protect Wang, we have to distinguish right from wrong." Jia Min said coldly, "Besides, we didn't do anything to Wang. She just reflected on herself. In Jia Yuanchun's view, is this a severe punishment?"

Jia's mother knew that she couldn't convince her today, so she sighed and said, "Forget it, I was just anxious for the moment, don't be angry, just treat me as old and confused."

Jia Min thought that might not be the case, but Grandmother Jia had already backed down, and she did not want to argue with her about this matter. "Mother, you are too serious. I am just angry that Wang Shi's behavior is not only vicious, but also makes Yuanchun anxious. That's why I am anxious."

Grandmother Jia patted her hands and said, "How could mother not know?"

After Jia Min left, Grandmother Jia's face darkened, showing her dissatisfaction with Jia Min and anger towards Wang.

She was asked to reflect in the ancestral hall, and she even dared to ask Yuanchun to plead for her.

"Yuanyang!" Grandmother Jia called Yuanyang in, her words full of anger, "Wang is praying in the ancestral hall, no one is allowed to disturb her. Anyone who dares to do so will be driven out and sold."

Yuanyang was surprised and said, "Yes."

She went out quietly, and when she was leaving the yard, she happened to meet Wang Xifeng and Ping'er coming over. She quickly pulled them aside and whispered, "The old lady is angry at the moment, so you'd better come back later."

Wang Xifeng asked, "What happened?"

Yuanyang lowered her voice, "My aunt was here just now. I was listening outside. There seemed to be some arguments, and it seemed to be about the matter of that courtyard."

She pointed to Mrs. Wang's yard.

Wang Xifeng understood and took Ping'er back the same way.

After walking a few steps, she pulled Ping'er and said, "You go back first. I'll go sit with my aunt. If anyone wants to see me, just tell them I'm not here."

"okay, I get it."
