Chapter 842: Estrangement Between The Mother and The Child

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Consort De smiled and raised her hand to wipe her tears. “Hurry up and prepare. I want to go and visit Miss Liu.”

After many years of searching, she finally found her son. What Consort De wanted was definitely not this feeling of estrangement. She wanted to be close to her son and was also willing to treat Lu Qingqing well. She only wanted to walk into her son’s life and make him acknowledge her as his mother.

Consort De quickly left the palace.

When she arrived at the General’s Mansion, she immediately sent the servant to inform Liu Sanniang. Soon, Consort De was invited in.

The General’s Mansion was neat and tidy, but it was also relatively deserted. There were not many servants.

In the main courtyard, a half-grown child was drawing talismans with a little white dog in his arms.

A woman in black said to Consort De calmly, “Your Highness, go in and sit for a while. Venerable Liu will be here soon.”

Consort De sat down in the main hall. She only brought an old nanny in with her. The palace maids and eunuchs were waiting outside the General’s Mansion.

Liu Yuanyuan poured a cup of tea for Consort De. The fragrant tea smelled very nice. Perhaps it was a psychological effect, but Consort De felt less anxious.

Liu Yuanyuan went out.

Liu Sanniang was making lamb stew in the kitchen. After bringing the pot to a simmer, she washed her hands and went to see Consort De.

Seeing Liu Sanniang, Consort De immediately stood up. “Miss Liu.”

Liu Sanniang nodded. “Consort De, what brought you here today.”

Consort De looked at Liu Sanniang and felt that Liu Sanniang’s gaze had the magic effect of soothing her anxiety. She said to Liu Sanniang, “Miss Liu, I believe you’ve heard that I found my child. He’s Lu Zhen, General Lu.”

Liu Sanniang listened to Consort De quietly. Her gaze was gentle. As long as one looked into her eyes, they would believe her.

Consort De inexplicably felt that Liu Sanniang seemed to understand her pain and sadness. Therefore, she didn’t need to explain too much to make herself understood.

After saying what she had to say, she looked at Liu Sanniang and asked hopefully, “Miss Liu, can you help me?”

Liu Sanniang looked at Consort De and said, “Your Highness, you can ask Lu Zhen for his opinion. If he’s willing, I can help.”

Consort De was overjoyed. “Of course. I want him to know how much I love him, but he has to be willing to know. I’ll go ask him first. If he agrees, I’ll get someone to invite you over.”

After a pause, she added, “If he doesn’t agree, I’ll also send someone to inform you.”

Liu Sanniang nodded. “Okay.”

Consort De stood up. The old nanny supported her and said, “Your Highness, Miss Liu is a psychic. Why don’t you ask her to predict if it will be a yes or…”

Consort De frowned slightly and said, “No need. No matter what, 1 have to make this trip.”

If it was a no, she would still go to see Lu Zhen and hear it for herself.

Consort De and the old nanny left the general’s mansion together. She instructed the palace servants, “Go to the Su Mansion.”

The old nanny prayed. “Please bless Her Highness. She has suffered for half her life. If possible, make the latter half of her life less unbearable.”

When they arrived at the Su Mansion, the old nanny helped Consort De out of the carriage.

The old nanny went to speak to the servant.

This was the first time Consort De left the palace.

She had seen Su Qiong in the palace. Before officially recognizing her son, she had asked around about Su Qiong. Speaking of which, she quite admired this woman.

After Lu Zhen settled down in the Su family, he had never starved. Everything Lu Zhen learned was taught by people hired by Su Qiong. Now that Lu Zhen was Su Qiong’s son-in-law, she valued him even more. Consort De was grateful that she could nurture Lu Zhen into such a talent.

Soon, Su Qiong came out personally. She happened to be in the mansion today. When she heard the servant’s report, she immediately came out.

Su Qiong smiled and said politely, “Your highness, why are you here? Please come in.”

Consort De followed in.

Su Qiong could clearly feel that Consort De came for something very important today.

The servant quickly brought tea. Su Qiong waved her hand. “All of you can leave. There’s no need for anyone to serve us here.”

The servants left, and even the old nanny who served Consort De also left.

Only Su Qiong and Consort De were left in the room.

Tears welled up in Consort De’s eyes. “Thank you, Madam Su.”

Su Qiong was very understanding.

Consort De looked at Su Qiong. Before she could say anything, tears fell silently.

Su Qiong quickly said, “Your Highness, don’t cry. Did Lu Zhen say something to make you sad?”

Consort De quickly waved her hand. “No, no. He’s a good child.”

Su Qiong sighed. “As a mother, I understand how you feel. If you need anything, just tell me. As long as it’s within my ability, I’ll try my best to help you.”

If Consort De wanted to separate Lu Zhen and her daughter, Su Qiong would never agree.

She was also a mother. She pitied Consort De, but Lu Qingqing was her daughter. There was no need to ask who was more important. Not to mention Consort De, even the emperor was not as important as her daughter.

Consort De looked at Su Qiong sincerely and said in a choked voice, “Madam Su, 1 want to ask you for a favor..”
