Concubine Jia said calmly: "I am not an emotional person. I cannot understand Jingying's crazy idea! There are many things in this world that are more important than men. We cannot put other things behind us for the sake of love...such as family and revenge!"

Qing He looked at her and said, "So you gave up on Mr. Jiang, right?"

Concubine Jia was stunned, thinking she had heard wrongly, and frowned, "What did you say?"

Qing He repeated, "You chose to give up Young Master Jiang in order to enter the palace...but you couldn't accept that he fell in love with someone else. Am I right?"

Concubine Jia never expected that this inconspicuous little village girl in front of her was so powerful and could see through her thoughts at a glance!

She said slowly, "That's right! I just can't stand seeing Ah Nian like someone else, so what?"

Qing He was silent for a moment and said, "Everyone has someone they can't let go of...but sometimes that is not love, it's just unwillingness. If you really like someone, you wouldn't choose to give up. To put it bluntly, it's just greed and obsession, which is of no benefit to yourself or others." After that, she turned and left, and the corner of her light green skirt flashed at the corner of the corridor.

Concubine Jia stared at her back in silence for a while, then turned and left.

King Huainan stood at the corner and watched this scene, and couldn't help but frowned!

He had clearly warned Concubine Jia before, asking her not to dwell on these useless love affairs and to help her son secure the throne. However, this extremely smart woman apparently did not take it to heart and was still thinking about getting Jiang Yaonian back!

It seemed that he must have given her a warning.

Qing He walked along the corridor to a pavilion. She was very pleased to see the graceful lotus flowers standing all around. She thought to herself, "Not only are these lotus flowers beautiful, but even the lotus leaves look very fresh. It would be perfect to pick the tender ones in the morning to make porridge!"

A blue dragonfly flew over and landed on a lotus leaf. Qinghe watched silently and absentmindedly, thinking that the scenery before her could be used to embroider a handkerchief...

After sitting for a while, she felt her chest was less stuffy, so she stood up and walked back.

Unexpectedly, when passing by a water pavilion, I unexpectedly saw a maid standing on the corridor.

Qinghe immediately recognized that this was the maid of the courtesan Tu Susu.

She glanced at the closed waterside pavilion and realized that Jiang Yaonian was talking to the courtesan inside. She couldn't help but feel curious about what they were talking about inside, so she quietly went around to the west side and listened carefully...

The courtesan said, "Mr. Jiang, could you please spare Jingying?"

Qing He was very surprised after hearing this and thought, "Could it be that Concubine Jia didn't spread rumors, and Mr. Jiang really hid Jingying in the mansion?"

Then Jiang Yaonian said, "Susu, we have known each other for many years. I am not lying to you. She is not in my house."

"Ah, then why do people say that it was Young Master Jiang who took Jingying away from the palace?"

Jiang Yaonian was silent for a while, then said calmly, "She asked you to ask, right?"

Qing He was stunned after hearing this and wondered who Mr. Jiang was talking about?

Then I heard Tu Susu say: "Well, Mr. Jiang is a smart man, he guessed it right! It was indeed Siwei who asked me to ask. Prince Jing found her and repeatedly asked her to come to you to release the person... But she was reluctant to ask, so she asked me to help. But I don't know where she is since she is not in Jiang's house?"

"I don't know either. Someone discovered her hiding place and secretly informed Prince Jing's mansion. When Prince Jing went to search, she had already been replaced."

Tu Susu was shocked and thought this was a bit difficult...

Only then did Qinghe confirm that Jiang Yaonian had indeed brought Jingying to his house, but was rescued after being spotted by someone.

Why did he bring that fairy here? And he didn't tell me, was he trying to secretly enjoy the happiness of having two wives?

Qinghe felt her chest starting to feel stuffy again. She frowned, turned around and quietly left the pavilion.

Unexpectedly, just after walking a short distance, a maid suddenly came forward and said, "Madam Jiang, my master wants to see you!"

Qing He asked in surprise: "Your master? Is he the prince?"

The old woman smiled and said, "No! No, you will know when you go there."

Qing He shook her head and said, "Forget it. I'm not feeling well today. Let's talk about it another day!"

As she turned around and was about to leave, she heard a very familiar voice behind her calling, "Qing He!"

Qing He couldn't help but shudder all over and turned around quickly, only to see a lady in luxurious clothes standing at the corner of the corridor, looking at her with a smile!

She immediately ran over excitedly, hugged the lady and cried, "Mom! Why are you here?"

He Mingxuan smiled with tears in her eyes and said, "I miss my precious daughter! When I heard that you were coming to the palace today, I came here specially to meet you!"

Qing He said excitedly: "I have been looking for you and grandma for a long time, and I didn't expect to meet you here today!"

He Mingxuan helped her wipe away her tears, held her arm and said, "Let's go over there and talk in detail..."

The mother and daughter sat down in a spacious living room. Qing He choked up and said, "Mom, I really didn't expect that I would be able to meet you again one day..."

He Mingxuan nodded, glanced at her bulging belly, and sighed: "I didn't expect that my good daughter would also have her own child..."

Qing He said shyly, "Well! Mother, I got married last year! My husband's surname is Jiang, and he came with me to the palace for the banquet today. I will introduce him to you later!"

He Mingxuan asked with a smile: "Child, how does Mr. Jiang treat you?"

Qing He nodded, "Not bad!"

He Mingxuan said: "Hearing you say that, I feel relieved... My good daughter is smart and sensible. No matter who she marries, it will be a blessing for them..."

Qing Hejiao smiled and said, "Mom, don't say that! If others hear it, they will laugh at you... Besides, the Jiang family is a prominent family, and Mr. Jiang and the old lady are very good to me. It is my blessing to marry into their family!"

He Mingxuan smiled faintly and said, "Your family background is not bad! You are totally worthy of any wealthy family! Although the Jiang family is the head of the four major families, marrying you is also a good match!"

Qing He suddenly remembered and said, "Mom, I saw grandma!"

He Mingxuan was startled and asked hurriedly, "Where did you see it?"

"Not here! In Huashu Country! But grandma has come here and said she has some things to do. She is also looking for you and wants us to be reunited..."

He Mingxuan's face changed after hearing this, "How did you meet your grandmother in Huashu Country?"

Qing He said helplessly: "Alas, it's a long story..."

Then, she recounted how she was kidnapped, and finally said, "Luckily I met my grandmother, otherwise I would still be there and unable to come back! But the palace maid Xiaofeng is here too, and we went shopping together yesterday..."

He Mingxuan's eyes flashed with anger, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Jingying, that bitch, actually dared to use such a sinister method in order to marry Jiang Yaonian!"
