The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Chapter 1830 A Touch of Imperial Power

Since her mother-in-law ignored the Han family, why should Shang tide bother with pretense? Shang Xi stood up and said, "Aunt, my mother is getting old and really can't handle things anymore. Please let the Han family resolve their own affairs! My mother is going to rest. There's another patient in the Han family who needs someone to take care of him, so I won't keep you any longer. I happen to have some free time now, so I'll see you off!"

"Go? Mother, we haven't told Aunt about Muran yet. Why did Aunt go back to her room before we finished speaking?" The speaker was Madam Han's eldest daughter-in-law, who looked flustered and spoke urgently.

When Madam Wan returned to her room, Shang tide saw the guests off; it was clear she was trying to get rid of them!

Even with her thick skin, Madam Han couldn't stay any longer. She said to her eldest daughter-in-law, "Your aunt dotes on Nianxia. She's probably angry with me because I'm not home to take care of Nianxia. Let's go back first and come back when your aunt has calmed down!"

"Mother, your granddaughter suddenly made us..."

Madam Han glared at her eldest daughter-in-law, who then reluctantly shut her mouth.

After leaving Madam Wan's courtyard, Shang tide said, "Aunt, please don't talk to my mother-in-law about the Han family's affairs anymore. Yesterday, someone from your Han family came to tell us that Han Nianxia committed suicide. My mother-in-law fainted after hearing that. The imperial physician and the emperor came. Didn't you see how bad my mother-in-law's complexion is today?"

Shang tide's purpose in sending them off was to tell them that they should talk less about the Han family's affairs in front of her mother-in-law! Her mother-in-law is old and can't handle things anymore!

Mrs. Han raised her voice and asked, "Did your mother-in-law faint?"

"Would I lie to you? My mother-in-law is over sixty years old; she can't handle news like this. In the future, you shouldn't tell my mother-in-law everything!"

Lady Han asked again, "Has the Emperor come too?"

"My mother-in-law has fainted! Such a serious matter, how could the Emperor remain indifferent upon hearing it?" Shang Xi wanted to ask the person in front of her. Others would worry upon hearing of her mother-in-law's fainting, ask a few questions, or even come to visit. Why did this person's face light up with a delighted smile, as if they'd found five million? Shouldn't she be asking about her mother-in-law's condition? What was this person's reaction?

Just as Shang tide was getting angry, Madam Han grabbed her daughter-in-law's hand and said excitedly, "See? I told you your aunt was thinking about Nianxia! Because of Nianxia, ​​your aunt even fainted, and the Emperor came to visit her personally. Now you know how much weight your aunt carries in front of the Emperor! It won't be long before Nianxia is married off to the General's Mansion by your aunt!"

Her eldest daughter-in-law spoke up again, "But Mother, your eldest granddaughter Muran is still waiting for you to talk to the old lady!"

Mrs. Han patted her eldest daughter-in-law's hand comfortingly, "We'll come again tomorrow!"

The conversation between the two left Shang Xi stunned. How could there be such greedy people in the world? Her daughter was dying, yet she still wanted to marry into the general's mansion. Her granddaughter was embezzling and selling herself into prostitution, yet she could still pretend to be indifferent in front of Shang tide, who had been caught red-handed. Anyone else would have been too ashamed to leave the house!

Shang tide said very bluntly, "Aunt, please don't come tomorrow either. My mother-in-law needs to rest! We don't have time to listen to you!"

Madam Han blushed, speechless! When had the Prince Pang's mansion ever dared to treat the Han family like this? Shang Xi must have lost her mind. Madam Han was furious, her tone turning displeased. She said to her two daughters-in-law in a stern voice, "Let's go!"

Shang Xi put her hands in front of her chest. Seeing that the group had left in a huff, she didn't see them off at the gate. She snorted and turned to walk back.

Yu Hua walked beside Shang Xi. "Shang tide, what do you think Madam Han means? What is she here for? Did Han Muran send them?"

Shang tide snorted coldly! "Han Muran sent her to test our resolve. Yesterday, I made a lot of boastful remarks at Tingfeng Nunnery, saying I would investigate thoroughly. She got scared, afraid I would expose this! Seeing that we were calm and composed, they haven't realized that danger is getting closer! To put it bluntly, under the temptation of money and power, they have lost all sense of fear! The Han family's appetite grows bigger every day. Even my mother-in-law protecting them isn't enough. They want to bribe the young crown prince with two broken beads. The Han family is courting death. Daring to touch the imperial power, they will surely die!"

Yu Hua looked up, her eyes darting around. "Hey? Did someone just flash by?"

Shang tide's eyes remained fixed on the bluestone pavement, which had been recently swept and was spotless. "There's no one there, I didn't see anyone!"

Xing'er ran back to Madam Wan's courtyard, where Madam Wan was sitting on the chaise longue where she had just been sitting! Her energy and spirit had halved, and her complexion was even worse than yesterday!

She asked Xing'er, "Have the Han family left?"

Xing'er said, "They left. The Han family didn't seem very happy when they left. Madam Han implied that they had something to discuss with you, probably about Han Muran. Madam Han's eldest daughter-in-law was unwilling to give up because she couldn't get the matter settled, so Madam Han said she would come again tomorrow. Upon hearing this, the Princess immediately sealed the gate, saying that you needed to rest and not to let them come to visit you. In a fit of anger, Madam Han left with her two daughters-in-law!"

"Did you say anything else?"

"I didn't hear anything else, but I heard the Princess say something!" Xing'er didn't know whether she should say it or not!

"What did Shang tide say?"

"The princess said that these people were sent by Han Muran to test us, and that the Han family members have been tempted by money and power and have no fear!"

Old Madam Wan closed her eyes briefly, and when she opened them again, she seemed to have aged considerably! "What else did you say?"

"They also said that the Han family's appetite is growing bigger every day, that they're not satisfied with just your protection, and that the Han family wants to bribe the Crown Prince with two broken beads,"

Madam Wan was stunned. Only in the last two days had she realized that the Han family, whom she had always wanted to support, actually had such a true face, even setting their sights on the Crown Prince. She hated herself for being blind and ignorant! "What else did Shang tide say?"

"Say...say the Han family is courting death!" Xing'er's voice grew softer and softer until she could hardly hear herself!

"go on!"

"The Princess said that anyone who dares to meddle in imperial power will surely die! That's all I heard, Madam. I was afraid of being discovered, so I ran back!" After saying this, Xing'er's face was as pale as Madam Wan's, and her hands were trembling slightly, afraid that Madam Wan would faint again from those words!

Fortunately, Madam Wan just sat there silently and didn't faint!

Before anyone knew it, Cheng Feng arrived looking refreshed and called out "Mom!" as soon as he entered the house!

Cheng Feng's cry of "Mother" was like a magic pill, and Madam Wan immediately came back to her senses, putting on a smiling face. "Feng'er, why haven't I seen my grandson these past two days!"
