Chapter 117: Dug a Hole for Myself, Feel Like Crying
Look at how she slaps her thigh so loudly, that first glance and the way she looks at you, actually feigning such a dignified aura, isn’t it?
"Ah Ci, tell me, all of my family is gone, why should they continue to enjoy fortune, just because they share the same surname and clan as me? Ah pfft, my family is all dead, and those who were closest to me, not even a single one left to continue the family line, what talk is there of clan or lineage?" Empress Dowager Wang said with a cold laugh.
Song Ci couldn’t help but softly remind her, "Lady, you should say it’s your family, your large family is all safe and well."
What family, the Emperor is her son, and the children and grandchildren in the palace, the Empress and concubines, are her true big family.
Empress Dowager Wang: "..."
She was just getting into character, how could Ah Ci interrupt her, and how was she supposed to continue?
Empress Dowager Wang said sulkily, "Indeed, it should be said as my family’s people. Alas, they are greedy, a loyal Count wasn’t enough, they even wanted a loyal Duke, huh, their ambitions were really grand. Back when the former Emperor was at war, and my son and I were in distress as commoners, they didn’t even extend a hand to help with hiding us, my family’s men all died in battle, the women all hung themselves with a white silk on the beam, yet they were just fine, you say there’s nothing fishy about it, I absolutely don’t believe it. Even if they had spared just one sole survivor for me, it wouldn’t have ended up like this."
Saying this, Empress Dowager Wang couldn’t help but tear up.
