  Everyone was shocked and surprised at the same time seeing how well coordinated they looked. Both of them were emanating a charismatic aura which made everyone shut their mouth.

  Ji Cheng and Zhao Ming's seats were on a higher elevation than others. Zhao Ming looked around from above and spotted Aunt Shen Jia in a simple yet elegant dress standing in the corner.

  She was standing alone and was looking at her with a smile.

  Zhao Ming felt uncomfortable seeing Shen Jia standing in the corner like this alone. She looked out of the place but she wasn't bothered about it even a bit.

  Ji Cheng noticed Zhao Ming looking in a certain direction when he followed her gaze he saw Shen Jia standing in a corner alone.

  He knitted his brows and called Feng Ju over. He said something to him in a low voice and after that, Feng Ju left the royal sitting area.

  After a few minutes, Zhao Ming was surprised when Feng Ju brought Shen Jia to the royal sitting area.

  In the royal sitting area where other consorts were sitting, she was surprised that Feng Ju arranged a seat for Shen Jia to sit there.

  The consorts were shocked when Shen Jia was brought to sit between them. Xiao Li frowned but before she could say anything, Jia shi stepped forward and started talking to Shen Jia.

  She knows that she is Zhao Ming's aunt, so she started chatting with her. Sing Jia shi started talking with Shen Jia, other consorts followed the suit as well since she is the head consort.

  Seeing Shen Jia getting comfortable and not alone anymore, Zhao Ming felt relieved.

  She turned to look at Ji Cheng and mouthed, " Thank you."

  Ji Cheng smiled and shook his head, and fought with the urge to hug her tightly. She is looking extremely pretty today.

  However, because of the banquet arrangements, he didn't get the time to spend with her.

  ….

  " Grandmother Shuren has arrived."

  After some time, a guard came and made the announcement. Hearing this announcement, everyone stood up in respect for Grandmother Shuren.

  Grandmother Shuren entered the palace wearing a light-colored peach dress and was wearing heavy bangles in her hand and had styled her hair in a heavy bun.

  Her aura was powerful and strong.

  She was supported by her two maids as she made her way inside the palace.

  However, everyone's eyes widened in shock when they spotted the person behind Shuren.

  Zhao Ming's mouth opened a little in shock as she glanced at Ji Cheng, " Did you invite your mother here?"

  He shook his head and said, " I don't know anything about it. Seems like Grandmother Shuren brought her here."

  The person following Shuren was none other than Wen Xu. She was wearing a beautiful dress but this dress was not as heavy and full of gems that she used to wear in the past. Her hair was styled into a simple bun and she wasn't as heavily dressed as before.

  However, the clothes she was wearing were way better than she wore at the abandoned chamber. At the abandoned, she gets to wear loose and cotton plain dresses unlike this beautiful dress/

  Ji Cheng helped Grandmother to sit on her seat while he stood in front of her and glanced at Wen Xu who didn't say anything and just stood beside Shuren.

  ' What's going on?'

  Zhao Ming also walked towards Shuren and greeted her, she politely greeted Wen Xu as well.

  However, Wen Xu just humphed and turned her head to the side.

  "-_-"

  Zhao Ming scoffed and thought, ' This woman still has so much attitude.'

  " Grandmother, what happened?" Ji Cheng glanced at Wen Xu and asked about why she brought her to the banquet.

  Shuren straightened her back and answered, " Ah, about her? I brought her back because she is an?Empress Dowager, after all, even though suspended, you just can't?let her stay at the abandoned chamber."

  Ji Cheng pursed his lips and wondered why Shuren became nice to Wen Xu all of a sudden.

  However, her next words made him speechless.

  " So I brought her back to the palace. However, until her three months suspension doesn't end, she is going to stay with me. Rather than at the orchid pavilion, she is going to stay with me and will take care of me. "

  " This way she can learn something from me. It's useless to put her in the abandoned chamber, her mind and body will only rot there."

  " However, if she serves me, she can also learn something and can repent on her wrongdoings."

  "-_-"

  "-_-"

  Zhao Ming and Ji Cheng were stunned by hearing Shuren's words. They thought that Shuren wanted Ji Cheng to reduce Wen Xu's punishment but rather than reducing the punishment, she only added more to it.

  She knows how egoistic Wen Xu is. She rather spent her three months in that abandoned chamber than living with Shuren, who doesn't seem to have any intention to have pity on her.

  Zhao Ming glanced at Wen Xu and seeing her shocked expressions, she realized that even Wen Xu wasn't aware of Grandmother Shuren's intentions.

  Seeing Zhao Ming looking at Wen Xu, Shuren said, " Ah, I brought her because I didn't want her to miss my welcome Banquet. Since I didn't have much time, I couldn't inform her about this. "

  "-_-"

  Silence evolved in the hall as everyone was shocked by Shuren's authority and they could see that even Wen Xu could not dare to say anything in front of her.

  " Ji Cheng, you don't have any problem with my arrangements right?" Shuren asked while fixing her dress.

  Ji Cheng was still lost and felt a little bad for his mother but seeing Shuren's expressions, he sighed and nodded. [ Read this novel on W e b n o v e l . c o m ( remove spaces).

  " Yes. If you want that, then it's fine with me. How can I reject your thoughts after all?"

  Shuren was pleased but this made Wen Xu more irritated. She thought that Ji Cheng would at least let her stay at the abandoned chamber, but he also agreed to Shuren.

  Living with Shuren is more harsh and torturous than living in that dirty old chamber.

  Zhao Ming pursed her lips as she controlled herself from smiling. She could see from Wen Xu's expressions, how much she hates the idea to live with Shuren and serve her till the end of her three months punishment.

  Even though more than one month has already passed, she believes that the remaining days are not going to be peaceful for Wen Xu.

  ' Grandmother Shuren is much more mischievous than me.' Zhao Ming could not help but be impressed by her actions.
