At this moment, the gazes around her were filled with mockery as she desperately tried to cover herself. It was too late for her to cover herself now.
Lan Susu was so angry that her entire body was trembling. She hugged her knees and pointed angrily at the two children’s noses as she scolded, “You two little b*stards, I’ll fight you to the death!”
Hearing Lan Susu’s impertinent words, Su Qian and Ye Liuguang narrowed their eyes sharply. Just as they were about to flare up, an old yet authoritative voice sounded.
“What’s all this commotion!”
The familiar voice made Su Qian look up. As expected, she saw the Empress Dowager striding over with the help of Nanny Jin.
“Empress Dowager!” When Lan Susu saw the Empress Dowager, tears uncontrollably shot out of her eyes. At this moment, she rolled and crawled in front of the Empress Dowager and knelt. She almost turned into a sobbing mess. “Sob sob, Empress Dowager, you have to stand up for me. This Su Qian is so audacious and presumptuous, she actually…!”
Lan Susu was still in the midst of brewing her emotions, her pitiful lament not yet finished, when she noticed the Empress Dowager seeming as if she couldn’t see her. Instead, she walked right past her and approached Su Qian with determined strides.
Everyone was very surprised and curious how the Empress Dowager knew that this commotion was related to Su Qian. Moreover, she went directly to Su Qian as soon as she came up. Could it be that she was going to avenge Lan Susu so soon?
Lan Susu was even more flattered.
However, on second thought, Lan Susu understood.
The Empress Dowager’s reaction was actually within reason!
Everyone knew that Su Qian and the Ninth Prince were engaged. The Empress Dowager doted on the Ninth Prince so much. How could she allow an unmarried and pregnant woman to marry the Ninth Prince?
Therefore, the Empress Dowager was definitely waiting for an opportunity to deal with Su Qian. In the end, Su Qian came knocking on her door, so the Empress Dowager naturally had to use this opportunity to make a fuss.
Just as everyone thought that Su Qian was in deep trouble, the Empress Dowager approached with a stern face. Then, she grabbed Su Qian’s small hand and smiled. “Qianqian, you’re already here. Why didn’t you come and look for me? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
There was no angry rebuke as everyone had imagined. The wrinkles on the Empress Dowager’s face had turned into blossoming chrysanthemums as she smiled. It was a brilliant smile.
“I originally wanted to immediately go find the Empress Dowager, but unexpected events occurred and delayed me,” Su Qian explained with a slight smile and a hint of apology.
“Oh, it’s fine, it’s fine. I’m very happy that you’re here.” After the Empress Dowager finished speaking, she looked for the children with a face full of joy under the shocked gazes of the surrounding people. “By the way, where are Ye’er and Qingqing?”
Amid the shocked gazes of everyone, Su Ye and Su Qingqing ran over to Empress Dowager with their short legs and called out sweetly, “Grandmother Empress Dowager.”
Lan Susu and the others were shocked by the way the two children addressed the Empress Dowager. They even suspected that there was something wrong with their ears!
What did these two children call the Empress Dowager?
Grandmother Empress Dowager?
Even the princes and princesses in the palace didn’t have such an honor, let alone Su Ye and Su Qingqing, the two little b*stards that nobody even knew who their father was!
Yet, the Empress Dowager seemed to adore this address. Under everyone’s incredulous gazes, she smiled even more happily.. “Oh! My two little sweethearts! Where did you go just now? Granny didn’t even see you!”
