My Entire Family's Gone Haywire!

It was already the evening of August 28th when they arrived at the Tongzhou Pier.

Granny Shen thanked Gu Xin and the other two for bringing her grandnephews back. She also told Gu Hui and Gu Xin that she looked forward to meeting them again.

Nothing happened on the way and granny Shen and the other two didn’t do anything. Although Gu Hui and Gu Xin didn’t have a good impression of her, they didn’t reject her and waved goodbye to her.

Lu Zheng looked at Gu Hui and Gu Xin,’if we enter the capital now, it’ll take six hours to drive the carriage. Why don’t we stay on the ship tonight? You’ll leave tomorrow?”

Gu Xin nodded her head without hesitation, ” Let’s go now. Father and mother will be frightened when the sun rises. Brother Yuanyuan, why don’t you send someone to inform father and mother so that they can be prepared? I’m afraid that if we suddenly appear, father will yell at me and sister Huihui. Even you, the one who brought us out, are going to be yelled at.”

Lu Zheng tapped Gu Xin’s nose, ” “Alright, I understand. I’ll make the arrangements. Do you want to go to Tongzhou province? it’s very lively there at night.”

alright! Gu Xin nodded her head repeatedly. sure!

......

Shen Mama and the other two did not go to the capital, but went directly to the Imperial summer resort.

The imperial family’s summer resort was not far from the capital of Tongzhou. Every year, the people of the imperial family would come over to stay for a few days. It was much cooler here than in the capital.

Only the Grand Empress Dowager would come before the Dragon Boat Festival and return after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Two hours later, Shen Mama and the other two arrived at the summer resort. Shen Feng and his daughter, Shen Min, left, and Shen Mama came to the residence of the Grand Empress Dowager.

The old lady was facing the chessboard alone. It was not her bedtime yet, so she was very awake.

“Have they all arrived?” The Empress Dowager heard the commotion, but did not raise her head. She held a black piece and looked at the chessboard as she asked.

“Reporting to Grand Empress Dowager, the ship reached the shore two hours ago. They should be returning to the capital tomorrow.” Shen Mama bowed and replied.

then, pass down the order later. We’ll return tomorrow as well. The Empress Dowager placed the chess pieces and picked up a white piece. are they really that similar? ” Is it really the same?”

“Replying to Grand Empress Dowager, third miss is eighty percent similar, eldest miss is twenty percent similar. Their eyes are the most similar.” Shen Mama replied.

“En, alright, you may leave!” The Grand Empress Dowager responded.

When Shen Mama left the room, the White chess piece in her hand fell.

If one were to sit opposite her and look, one would see that her lips were trembling. Her eyes could no longer hold back her tears and they flowed out drop by drop.

From the time she became the Empress of the great Zhou’s Ye family to the time she became the Grand Empress Dowager, she had cried a total of three times. This was the fourth time she had cried.

Once, she had given birth to twins and had to send one out. She had to decide quickly which one to send out. Otherwise, if others found out, she wouldn’t be able to send them away. That time, she sent away the younger one. She thought that the older one would stay in the royal family to suffer while the younger one would be raised outside to enjoy life!

The second time, the child she had left behind was sick, and no medicine could cure him. The concubines were eyeing her covetously, so she changed back to the younger one. That time, she had almost been found out, so she could only get someone to send the big one far away. She felt that she had let down her eldest son. In the palace, she was taught as the Crown Prince, but she did not smile at a young age. After leaving the palace, she could not enjoy the glory and wealth of her youngest son outside because she had to hide. She did not know if he could recover from his illness. That time, she cried again.

The third time was also because of his eldest son. That year, natural and man-made disasters occurred one after another. The place where the eldest son was at was completely uninhabitable. There was no more news from the people who protected him. Later, someone found the body of the person who protected the eldest son. She cried. She was afraid of losing this child who had a hard life.

The fourth time was now. There was news of her eldest son. He was married and had children. She finally didn’t have to worry anymore.

Thinking of all the things that had happened over the years, she could no longer hold it in and cried out loud.
