Chapter 481

“Imperial Consort Fang has been in the palace for 11 years, I’m afraid she can’t stand the coldness in the palace and asked Wang Yu to take her to Yuzhou to enjoy the blessings!”

“Then why bother getting a double and faking her death? I think, since Imperial Consort Fang is going incognito, in all likelihood she can’t stand the loneliness and wants to go to Yuzhou to change her identity and remarry, right?”

“Such a large Tai’an Palace burned just by saying so, this Imperial Consort’s outburst is just extraordinary.”

“….”

Qin Jiu listened to the gossip as she was eating melon seeds and did not comment, then a while later, a maidservant suddenly came to report. “Wei family’s old madam, Lord Wei, and his wife are here.”

Qin Jiu: “?”

Blinking her eyes blankly, Qin Jiu slowly realized that it was the maternal grandmother and uncle of the original owner who had arrived.

“Have someone go to Shenshu Camp to inform the Marquis, and also go call A’yu.” Qin Jiu ordered as she stood up.

Duan Rou slightly adjusted Qin Jiu’s clothes and inserted a red gold flying swallow hairpin with pearls in her bun, before welcoming the guests.

When Qin Jiu arrived at the front main hall of the inner courtyard, Old Madam Qin and Qin Zeyu had already arrived, and were chatting with the guests who had come from afar.

Old Madam Wei who was sitting at the bottom looked like she was in her fifties, her hair was tied into a bun with many silver strands. She had a pair of loving eyes filled with smiles as she was pulling Qin Zeyu to talk, meanwhile, Qin Zeyu smiled brilliantly and sweetly as he made the old woman laugh from ear to ear.

Next to Old Madam Wei, was Madam Wei, she appeared to be in her forties with a bright and cheerful smile on her round face.

Across the mother and daughter-in-law was a middle-aged man with an elegant appearance wearing a sapphire blue auspicious cloud pattern on his garments.

“Sister!”

Qin Zeyu was the first to see Qin Jiu and shouted from outside the hall, making everyone in the hall look at Qin Jiu with burning gazes, especially the three members of the Wei family.

Qin Jiu walked into the hall with light steps, she greeted Old Madam Qin, and then one by one, she curtsied to the three members of the Wei family, calling out. “Grandmother, maternal uncle, maternal aunt.”

“Good girl, no need to be polite!” Old Madam Wei hurriedly helped Qin Jiu up, her eyes slightly red.

The old madam held Qin Jiu’s hand and looked at the girl in front of her greedily as if she wanted to engrave her face deeply into her heart.

“Your name is Xiao Jiu, right?” Old Madam Wei could not help but shed tears as she said, “You and your mother are so similar, both your facial features are the same.”

Thinking of the struggles this child has endured in the Li family over the years, Old Madam Wei feels heartbroken, as if she has been stabbed. This child had suffered so much!

Qin Jiu took out a lilac-colored handkerchief and gently wiped the tears from the corner of Old Madam Wei’s eyes and said with a smile. “Indeed, Empress Aunt also said I resemble my mother.”

Qin Jiu did not have much impression of the Wei family, in the novel, the Wei family was not mentioned much so she only vaguely remembers the Wei family did not end well after they tried to get justice for the original owner’s brothers. However, she was unable to remember the specific plot at all.
