Chapter 189: A sweet home coming.
Thirty minutes after the dramatic ugly crying, Mei Mei found herself on her knees, along with her daughter, facing her mother. Crying tears and offering some pumpkin spice bread was not going to work with her.
Her mother took a sip of bitter black tea.
Mei Mei gulped.
Mingzhu blinked.
Great great grandpa Jun hissed softly.
Everyone else held their breath, too afraid to speak up.
Even the family pets were too afraid to make a sound. A wrong meow, back or chirp could get one banished to the wild [The cozy green house, not that the overly pampered pets cared.]
"Mo...mom...mother...empress mother." Mei Mei blurted out.
Grandma Jun was drinking milk and it spurted out of her mouth with force as she reacted to the the surprise. Empress mother!! Had Mei Mei lost her mind?
Chi Lian placed the tea cup on the saucer. She did not use a lot of strength and yet everyone jumped, startled as if they had heard the sound of a gunshot.
"Wife, they have been kneeling for too long." Muyang whispered to his wife.
