Her elder sister steals her husband? She marries the God of War and is pampered beyond measure!

Chapter 275 You only need to recognize this one.

Su Mowan had a bad feeling; she always felt that the Empress Dowager and Emperor Moyao seemed to be on the same page.

After glancing at Murong Jing, who was being mercilessly criticized, Su Mowan quickly bowed respectfully to the Empress Dowager and greeted her softly.

Her demeanor was incredibly dignified and elegant.

The Empress Dowager glanced at her several times, then nodded in satisfaction, saying "good" twice, and then gestured for Su Mowan to come closer.

Su Mowan didn't understand what the Empress Dowager was trying to do. She glanced at Murong Jing, who gave her a look to reassure her, and then Su Mowan went over.

After taking a couple of steps, she realized that there was actually a prayer mat behind the Empress Dowager, but she had been standing far away and the mat was blocked by the Empress Dowager, so she couldn't see it.

She had just walked up to the Empress Dowager when the Empress Dowager pulled her aside, saying, "Come, sit next to me. I have something to ask you."

Su Mowan's heart skipped a beat. The Empress Dowager and Emperor Moyao were really of the same ilk. What if she asked some difficult questions later?

But I can't refuse.

Su Mowan had no choice but to sit down following the Empress Dowager's lead, and she also crossed her legs like the Empress Dowager. Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager laughed again after seeing her actions.

"It's good to be young. Your body is so flexible, it will be easier to give birth later."

"..."

Su Mowan almost lost her balance.

It seemed the Empress Dowager was about to question the child. Su Mowan felt a little guilty and resented Murong Jing for his foolish lie back then.

Murong Jing had his fill of verbal sparring, but damn it, she's the one who has to bear the suspense and anxiety that follows!

Thinking of this, Su Mowan could only purse her lips and smile gently, behaving very obediently.

The Empress Dowager seemed increasingly pleased with her appearance, scrutinizing her closely before sighing, "You and your mother look so alike! Back in the day, Jing'er's father—"

"Grandmother, you should worry about your granddaughter-in-law first."

Murong Jing suddenly interrupted the Empress Dowager, clearly knowing what she was about to say.

Su Mowan actually knew that Emperor Moyao had some impure thoughts about Ji Yu, so whether Murong Jing interrupted or not didn't really matter to her.

However, the reason Murong Jing did this was probably to avoid embarrassing her, right?

Thinking of this, Su Mowan smiled indifferently at him.

That smile put the Empress Dowager at ease. Seeing that the two were truly affectionate, the Empress Dowager simply said to Murong Jing, "Stay away, don't interrupt my conversation with my granddaughter-in-law!"

"..."

The King of Qin silently retreated to a corner.

Upon hearing that familiar tone, Su Mowan almost laughed, but managed to suppress it. Then she heard the Empress Dowager say, "I'm asking you, has this boy been bullying you all this time?"

Su Mowan gently shook her head. "No, Your Majesty."

The Empress Dowager disapproved, saying, "Why call me Empress Dowager? Just call me Imperial Grandmother like Jing'er does. By the way, did Su Yuandao's family bully you at the General's Mansion?"

"……No."

Su Mowan's eyes flashed; it seemed the Empress Dowager knew about her background.

"That's good. By the way, how's the matter between your brother and the eldest princess?" The Empress Dowager suddenly became interested in gossip.

Upon hearing this, Su Mowan knew that the Empress Dowager was truly detached from worldly affairs. After a moment's hesitation, she said, "The eldest princess's marriage was arranged last night. The consort is Song Chuwen, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice."

The Empress Dowager was taken aback, clearly surprised.

"The son of the Minister of Justice?"

Su Mowan nodded.

The Empress Dowager murmured something and finally said, "Enough, enough, I won't ask about these things anymore. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. As long as you are all well, I will be content."

Before she could finish speaking, she turned to Su Mowan and asked, "I heard you are pregnant. How long has it been?"

The mere mention of this made Su Mowan feel a pang of guilt, especially when she met the Empress Dowager's expectant gaze; she felt an urge to tell the truth.

Su Mowan swallowed hard, feeling a little guilty, and said, "It's been almost three months."

When the Empress Dowager heard that it was almost three months, her eyes lit up, and she said "good" three times in a row. She added, "It's about the same time as when the Crown Princess was born. When the child is born, it will be good for the child to have a companion."

"..."

Can't be born!

Su Mowan glanced at Murong Jing silently, thinking, "You've gone too far with your lie."

Murong Jing gave her a faint look, indicating that she should continue blowing.

So Su Mowan asked the Empress Dowager curiously, "How did you know that the Crown Princess was also pregnant?"

Speaking of this, the Empress Dowager sighed, "I met the Crown Princess two months ago. At that time, she told me that she was pregnant, but I could see that her relationship with the Crown Prince was very distant."

It was indeed very quiet two months ago.

Su Mowan suddenly wondered if the change in the relationship between the two was related to the Crown Princess meeting the Empress Dowager.

Buddhists have a whole repertoire of profound truths, not to mention the Empress Dowager, who, at her advanced age, speaks with absolute certainty whenever she sighs.

Perhaps Gu Ying was enlightened by the Empress Dowager.

Su Mowan chatted with the Empress Dowager about everyday matters and learned from the conversation that Murong Jing had last visited the Empress Dowager more than half a year ago.

At this moment, the Empress Dowager kept pulling her aside to chat, while Murong Jing was just listening in. Thinking that the grandmother and granddaughter might have something to talk about, Su Mowan simply took the opportunity to say that she was feeling a little unwell and needed to go for a walk.

Whether the Empress Dowager noticed or not, she readily agreed and called in a palace maid to serve the person and take her out.

Only after Su Mowan's figure disappeared from sight did the Empress Dowager say to Murong Jing, "At least you haven't forgotten that you still have an imperial grandmother."

Murong Jing said, "Of course I haven't forgotten. I've even brought my granddaughter-in-law along. What else could you possibly be dissatisfied with?"

The Empress Dowager said meaningfully, "I have more than one granddaughter-in-law, don't I?"

“You only need to recognize this one,” Murong Jing said.

The Empress Dowager seemed to choke on her words, paused for a moment, and then asked abruptly, "Are you really pregnant?"

"real."

Murong Jing's gaze was open and honest.

After a long while, the Empress Dowager said, "Then I will wait to hold my great-grandson in seven months."

Murong Jing didn't speak. Seven months was definitely not an option. But as long as he could hold her, a few months later wouldn't matter.

The Empress Dowager twirled the prayer beads in her hand and suddenly asked, "I heard that your mother has summoned Yu Lin back to the capital?"

"should be."

Murong Jing didn't see the person, but from Su Mowan's mention of him, he knew that the person was Yu Lin.

The Empress Dowager's eyes flashed with a sense of vicissitude, and she sighed heavily, "This child is also pitiful. If what happened back then had been discovered earlier, perhaps things would be different now."

Murong Jing said, "Grandmother, there is no need to worry. He has simply gone back to Meizhou to bide his time. Now that Mother has called him back, it must be because we need his help."

The Empress Dowager was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

"Could it be from Dongli?"
