Ming Dynasty: I, Zhu Yunwen, started by resurrecting my grandmother.

The Chang family and Zhu Biao had an excellent relationship.

No one expected that Lady Chang would die in childbirth while giving birth to Zhu Yunwen.

Zhu Biao was deeply saddened by this.

Zhu Biao's early death was not unrelated to his longing for Lady Chang.

At this moment, Chang Shi came back to life. She heard that Zhu Biao had been dead for several years. How could she not be grieving?

Lady Chang cried for a long time, but with Zhu Yunwen's persuasion, she gradually calmed down and accepted the fact.

Chang wiped away her tears and said to Lü, "You have served His Highness all these years, and you have worked hard."

In this special month of May, the fact that you were able to invite the monks of Jiming Temple to perform a ritual for their souls is quite considerate.

Zhu Yunwen thought to himself, "Mother, how could you know the inside story?"

She and that mystical monk almost... you know...

Madam Lü blushed: "Sister, this is all I should do, there's nothing to say."

Seeing that Madam Chang had a kind and gentle face, Ziwei knelt down and kowtowed: "Crown Princess, no, Empress Dowager, this servant kowtows to you, please save me."

Chang looked at her and found the girl to be quite pretty and pitiful, so she asked Lü, "Sister, what serious crime has this girl committed that you want to kill her?"

She stole my cat.

Ziwei quickly explained, "I didn't steal your cat."

"You lowly servant, if you didn't steal my cat, then where is my cat?" Madam Lü's vicious nature was fully revealed.

Upon hearing this, Chang thought to herself, "Is this outrageous? Just because of a cat, you want to take someone's life? Isn't this treating human life like dirt?"

Madam Chang smiled slightly: "Little sister, I thought it was something serious. It's just a cat, isn't it?"

"You don't know, that cat is extremely valuable."

She's just a lowly servant girl; even if she gave ten lives, she couldn't bring that cat back.

"Human life is of paramount importance; no matter how precious a cat is, it is just a pet."

No matter how lowly a person is, they are still a person. How can you compare them?

Don't say that she might not have stolen the cat.

Even if she really did steal it, you can punish her, but you can't kill her.

Even if she committed an unforgivable crime, wouldn't there still be the Ministry of Justice and the Court of Judicial Review?

"There should be some interrogation; how could you just order her killed?"

Although Chang's words were few, they carried great weight.

"this--."

Lady Lü was speechless.

Zhu Yunwen watched from the side and found it amusing, thinking to himself, "My mother is amazing!"

Even though Lady Lü was arrogant and domineering, she dared not refer to herself as "this palace" in front of Lady Chang.

Madam Chang helped Ziwei up with both hands: "Get up, you're alright now."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager." Ziwei kowtowed again.

At this moment, a palace maid ran in from outside and whispered a few words in Lady Lü's ear.

Lady Lü's expression immediately changed.

A moment later, another beautiful figure flashed in from outside the door. It was none other than Zhao Ning'er.

She was quite surprised to see Chang here.

Because she had seen Chang's portrait, she knew that she was a famous beauty.

"Yunhu, who is this?" Zhao Ning'er was also very nervous.

"She is my mother," Zhu Yunwen introduced.

Zhao Ning'er quickly bowed and said, "Ning'er greets you."

Madam Chang looked her up and down and nodded slightly: "She's really a beauty."

Zhao Ning'er blushed.

She did not bow to Lady Lü.

Lady Lü's face was gloomy.

Zhao Ning'er pretended not to see it.

Zhao Ning'er was holding a white cat in her arms: "Are you looking for this white cat?"

I just found it in those stinky monks' room. It has a really sharp nose; it could smell the dog's leg from this far away! Look, the dog bone is still here.

When Lu took a look, she realized that the cat was the one she was looking for.

What puzzled her was how there could be a cooked dog leg in the monk's room.

Chang said to Lü, "Sister, look, this is a misunderstanding! It almost cost Ziwei her life."

Lu's face flushed red and then turned pale. She said to Ziwei, "This is none of your business. Go downstairs now."

"promise!"

Ziwei felt relieved, thanked Madam Chang, and got up to leave.

Lady Lü was suspicious, feeling that it was highly likely that Zhu Yunwen and Zhao Ning'er were behind it all, but she had no evidence.

She was worried about the monk Xuanfa, so she said to Madam Chang, "Sister, I have to go out for a bit. We sisters can talk again later."

Mrs. Chang said, "Alright, we'll take our leave too."

Lady Lü quickly ordered a sedan chair to be prepared and hurried to the Dali Temple.

After she saw Yu Qian, she ordered him to release Xuanfa and the other monks.

To everyone's surprise, Yu Qian said that with the evidence of the crime and the person present, the evidence was conclusive and the person could not be released, thus forcefully rejecting Lü's offer.

Enraged, Lady Lü went to find Zhu Yunwen.

The Chang family's bedroom.

When the Chang family returned, they found the place intact, still preserved in its original state.

She felt as if she had returned to the past.

This reminded her of the time when she and Zhu Biao were composing poems and enjoying each other's love.

Chang was filled with endless sorrow.

Zhu Yunwen recounted the affair between Lady Lü and Xuanfa. After listening, Lady Chang was shocked: "I never imagined that Lady Lü was so bold and promiscuous."

"Yes, if this were to get out, it would be a huge scandal," Zhu Yunwen said.

"She's so much older than Xuanfa, doesn't she feel ashamed?"

"She compares herself to Empress Lü and Empress Wu Zetian, saying if they can do it, why can't she?"

"Did she really say that?"

"yes."

"I haven't seen her for years. I never imagined she'd fallen to such a low level, completely devoid of any sense of shame." Madam Chang was extremely disappointed.

"Please rest assured, Mother, I will not let her scheme succeed."

"She is now the Empress Dowager, and holds great power. You must not do anything reckless," said Madam Chang with a worried expression.

"I understand."

Chang looked out the window and asked, "What has been happening recently, both inside and outside the court?"

Zhu Yunwen then gave her a brief report.

Chang's mood turned somber: "So, after Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, he was very wary of you."

He intends to kill you.

"Please rest assured, Mother. Although he is now the ruler of a country and I am just a commoner, it won't be so easy for him to kill me," Zhu Yunwen said confidently.

"Oh, why are you so confident?"

"Mother, to tell you the truth, I now have two guardian spirits." Zhu Yunwen's tone was very mysterious.

"Guardian deity?" Madam Chang looked puzzled, not understanding his meaning.

"That's right, Grandmother and Grandfather have both returned."

"What did you say? They're not dead?" Madam Chang was shocked.

"Yes. They eat well, sleep soundly, and are in good health."

When Chang heard that her father, Chang Yuchun, was still alive, she was naturally overjoyed.

Zhu Yunwen suggested, "How about I take you to meet your maternal grandfather?"

"No need. I should go see your grandmother first; I mustn't be impolite."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunwen thought to himself that his mother was truly a wise and sensible person.
