Long live Emperor Wu!

Wu Shun was moved.

Although she is the Queen's biological sister, she can only be granted the title of Madam at most, but it will be different if she is a male.

A man could be an official and hold real power, and he could also be given a hereditary title, which was indeed an excellent opportunity for her family.

In the future, her two children will probably reach the sky in one step.

Her eyes flashed, and just as she was speaking, the two children listening next to her spoke first.

"I don't want my surname to be Wu. Our Aye's surname is Helan. Why do we want to change our surname to Wu?" Helan Minzhi spoke up first.

Wu Rou looked over following the sound and saw her niece He Lan Qingjue also lowered her head, seemingly unhappy, so she waved to them and asked them to stand beside her.

She glanced at He Lanmin, then stretched out her hand to hold Helan Qingjue's hand and said:

"I heard my aunt tell you, why can't we have a surname of Wu? Your mother's surname is Wu, and you also have half of the blood of the Wu family. Originally, the surname is Helan, and the surname is Wu."

Qingjue's temperament was similar to that of Wu Shun. He was gentle and cautious, but also a little cowardly. After hearing this, he lowered his head and said in a voice as low as a mosquito or a fly:

"But...but aunt, Aye is very good to us."

He Lan Minzhi was very happy and looked directly at Wu Rou and said:

"Exactly, our surname is Helan. During the New Year and festivals, we worship the Helan family's ancestral hall, which is the spiritual place of my Aye. If our surname is Wu, we can only worship the ancestors of the Wu family. Wouldn't that be forgetting our roots?

Minzhi and my sister appreciate aunt's kindness, but forgive us for not obeying her orders. Aye's soul in heaven definitely doesn't want to see us change our surname to Wu. "

Wu Rou looked at Helan Minzhi with admiration. This child was not only good-looking, but also had a loyal and open nature, which was really rare.

When Wu Shun heard this, he quickly smoothed things over and said:

"The two children are young and ignorant. I will have a talk with them when I get back."

Wu Rou raised her hand to stop her and said to He Lan Minzhi seductively:

"We, Min Zhi, are filial and a good child. My aunt likes you and wants to treat you well, but only by taking the surname Wu can this benefit fall on you.

Let's do this. I promise that even if your surname is Wu in the future, your Aye's spiritual tablet can still be worshiped, okay? "

Helan Minzhi was confused for a moment, seemed to hesitate, then quickly shook his head and said:

"No, if I call Wu Minzhi in the future, I, Aye, will definitely not be happy."

After Wu Shun heard this, he straightened his face and said to him:

"Yes, you are just afraid that your Aye will be unhappy, but you are not afraid that Grandma will be unhappy.

Auntie has worked hard to support you all by herself for so many years, but all of it has been in vain. She has really wronged you by taking my last name. "

Helan Qingjue quickly said:

"No, Aniang...it's just that Aye passed away early and we all miss him."

As she said that, she was already crying, tears falling down one by one, which was very heartbreaking to watch.

Wu Rou suddenly thought of her Aye, and remembered that after Aye passed away, she missed her so much and was sad. She felt a little intolerable, so she comforted them and said:

"Forget it, let's talk about it later. Don't cry. They are both good children. Go back and sit down."

Wu Shun felt somewhat regretful when he heard this. He moved his lips and wanted to say something, but remained silent.

When Yang saw the children leaving, she pulled Wu Rou and whispered:

"Although, I have also dreamed, hoping that you sisters will also have the opportunity to inherit the Wu family. But after all, it is a dream and it will not work."

Wu Rou was afraid that the children would hear it, so she lowered her voice, moved her lips slightly, and said as if watching the performance:

"Why doesn't it work? It's not uncommon for a woman to recruit a son-in-law to inherit the family business."

Yang leaned close to her ear and said anxiously:

"You also said that he is a son-in-law by marriage. This is only possible when there is no male son in the family and the daughter is the only heir. Otherwise, it is an invasion of family property and the law does not allow you. Those two of yours As an elder brother, he has already married and has children, so it’s not Wu Shun’s turn to inherit the Wu family.”

Wu Rou reached out and picked a grape from the fruit plate, stuffed it into her mouth dignifiedly and elegantly, pursed her red lips, held up the handkerchief and spit out the seeds, and said leisurely:

"Hmph, have you forgotten what your daughter's status is now? There is nothing that can be done about this matter in the hands of mortals. But I am now the queen of the Tang Dynasty. If the Wu brothers are convicted and the whole family is expelled, who can stop me? Can’t do it?”

Yang turned his head suddenly to look at her and stared at her for a long time.

She thought that Wu Rou was different now because she hadn't seen him for many years and the situation was different.

Or perhaps, she had such a temperament to begin with, but she was a helpless little girl in the past and had no chance to express it.

In short, now, her ambition is so explicit and so big, it is all about things that she never dared to think about.

She really felt a little scared.

Yang held her daughter's hand, trembling a little, and whispered:

"Arou, I don't ask for anything else. We just want everyone to live in peace. You have finally become a queen after all your hard work. Don't let your two brothers ruin your luck.

Listen to what Aniang said, we were bullied back then, but at least, the Wu brothers didn’t kill us, so we have to be merciful. "

Wu Rou couldn't bear to hear such words. She turned around, looked at her mother-in-law with slightly squinted eyes, and said:

"We are not dead, not because they are generous and kind-hearted, but because we are lucky.

At the beginning, if I hadn't thought of a way to enter the palace, we would have died of illness and no one would have known the fate. "

Pictures of those days kept popping up in Wu Rou's mind.

That was the memory of her falling from heaven to hell. It was so unforgettable that she might not be able to forget it for several lifetimes.

She tightened her lip line, suddenly looked back, and said coldly:

"I gave them a chance. If they had shown some remorse when I entered Ganye Temple, I would have forgiven them today.

But I clearly know that they have evil intentions towards me and are always looking for opportunities to stand up, so I won't let them! "

Seeing how determined she was, Mrs. Yang felt very uneasy, but she couldn't say anything anymore.

……

……

A few days later, Luoyang.

The Wu brothers brought generous gifts to visit Wu Shun's home.

Wu Shun was right. In the following years, the Wu brothers worked hard on Wu Shun and Yang in order to curry favor with Wu Rou.

Wu Rou came out of Ganye Temple and re-entered the palace, becoming the new emperor's concubine.

When the Wu brothers heard the news, they sighed at Wu Rou's ability and hated her for always surviving in desperate situations.

He also regretted why he had only wanted to torture her in the first place instead of killing her directly.

Now that it has become a catastrophe, it is too late to regret, and we can only try our best to make amends.

So in the past few years, they and their stepmother's sister really lived like brothers and sisters, and they had no shortage of contact during holidays and even on ordinary days.
