Chapter 524 - 273: Fortuitous Encounter_2
Ancient people were all superstitious. The Emperor mused, "Could it be that the spirit of the Imperial Sister in heaven has protected Yueyue and kept her safe?"
Qian Yixiu also hurriedly said, "Everyone says the Emperor is the True Dragon Emperor. My maternal grandmother was the Emperor’s own sister, and she couldn’t have been a mere mortal. It must have been her, having ascended to immortality, who sent a divine beast to beg for my mother’s life and then secretly guided my nanny to find her."
It seemed that only this explanation made sense.
Hearing this, the Emperor nodded repeatedly, and Empress Dowager Fu smiled through her tears.
She nodded and said, "It must be so." Then, she placed her palms together and said, "Amitabha, my Zi Yang was such a good child. Heaven must have taken a fancy to her for her to leave this world so young. Seeing that Yueyue was in trouble, she must have sent a divine beast to carry Yueyue out of the deep mountains, and then led her to accidentally encounter her mother-in-law, bringing her back home. Although Yueyue grew up in the countryside, she is very spirited, and the years seem not to have left a mark on her face, which shows she hasn’t suffered in the Qian family."
Upon hearing the Empress Dowager praising the Qian family, Pan Yue quickly said, "Yes, Yueyue is not aggrieved. Father-in-law is good, mother-in-law is good, Brother Jiang is good, the little sister-in-law is good, and the sons and daughters are all good."
Empress Dowager Fu added, "Yes, they are all good, except for Pan Zi’an. If the in-laws can treat Yueyue so kindly, yet her own father is so indifferent and cold-hearted."
Although the Pan family had recently done several things that pleased the Emperor, he still didn’t like Prince Consort Pan. He said, "Pan Zi’an has been conceited since he was young, always feeling aggrieved, yet not realizing how much he has benefited."
Pan Yang and Lady Fu often heard their father being cursed and simply bowed their heads and listened to the scolding.
