The Crown Prince and Crown Princess would be arriving soon, and the Dowager Duchess had no option but to welcome them in person at the entrance of the mansion. ฦ๐๐๐ฒ๐๐๐๐๏ฝ๐ซ๐๐.๐๐ฐ๐
Lu Liangwei slowly walked out of Dusklight Court, and just happened to encounter the Dowager Duchess.
A slightly frosty look appeared in Lu Liangweiโs eyes
Lu Yunshuang really gave herself such airsโshe even had the nerve to require that the Dowager Duchess welcome her in person!
Lu Liangwei cursed silently, but she did not dare to show negligence in her actions. She immediately hurried over.
โGrandmother, let me help you.โ
The moment the Dowager Duchess saw her, a kindly smile appeared on her face, and she nodded. โVery well.โ
Aunt Lan was supporting the Dowager Duchessโ other arm; when she saw Lu Liangwei, she nodded with a smile. โSecond Young Miss.โ
Aunt Lan was almost the same age as the Dowager Duchess; in fact, she even looked slightly older. Lu Liangwei could not bear to see her supporting the Dowager Duchess when Aunt Lan herself was already so elderly.
Therefore, she said, โAunt Lan, Iโll be alright supporting Grandmother on my own.โ
Aunt Lan looked at her and replied mildly, โSecond Young Miss, donโt underestimate my old bonesโIโm actually still very strong.โ
Lu Liangwei was about to say something, but the Dowager Duchess gave Aunt Lan a glare and scolded teasingly, โYou already know youโre old, yet you still want to help me. If you fall, our old bones will suffer, both of us.โ
Aunt Lan murmured, โItโs true that I look older than you, but in fact, I have much more strength than you, and I have more energy.โ
When Dowager Duchess heard that, she became unhappy. โWhen I hear you say that, I really want to trade blows with you to see whoโs stronger.โ
At that, she rolled up her sleeves and looked as if she wanted to fight Aunt Lan.
Seeing this, Aunt Lan hastily rolled down the Dowager Duchessโ sleeve and said placatingly in amusement, โAlright, alright, your strength is greater than mine, are you satisfied now?โ
Only then did the Dowager Duchess nod. โAs long as you acknowledge that. You donโt need to help me anymore now.โ
โYes, yes, yes, I wonโt help you anymore.โ Aunt Lan gave in.
Watching the two old people, Lu Liangwei did not know whether to cry or to laugh.
โGrandmother, why not let me help you instead.โ
The Dowager Duchess actually had quite a lot of energy, and she could walk steadily, but when her little granddaughter offered to help her, she did not refuse either.
When they arrived at the entrance of the mansion, they saw that Aunt Zheng was already there in eager anticipation of her daughterโs arrival.
When Aunt Zheng saw the Dowager Duchess and Lu Liangwei arriving, she could not entirely hide the smug expression in her eyes.
However much the Dowager Duchess threw her weight around on any given day, did she not also have to come to the entrance of the mansion to greet Aunt Zhengโs daughter when she visited?
Aunt Zheng felt an inner sense of superiority, but on the surface, she still made a show of being respectful.
โMadam, why are you here as well? It will be enough to have us waiting here; Madam should go back first and rest for a while.โ After saying this, she came forward, intending to help the Dowager Duchess back inside.
How could the Dowager Duchess not be aware of what Aunt Zheng was thinking in her heart?
The old womanโs shrewd eyes swept over Aunt Zheng. โIโm already hereโhow absurd would it be if I go back again now? Furthermore, if the Crown Princess is returning home, even if the old Founding Duke were alive, he would have to welcome her in person too.โ
Under that extremely imposing gaze, Madam Zheng felt frightened and uneasy. When she heard the Dowager Duchess mention the Founding Duke, her heart could not help but sink.
She could tell that the Dowager Duchess was actually very dissatisfied about needing to welcome Shuangโer in person.
โMadam, perhaps you are being too serious. Although Shuangโer has become the Crown Princess, she is still a daughter of the Lu family. Moreover, she is most filial and respectful to Madam. When she arrives later and sees Madam standing here, she will find it hard to bear, so itโs best that Madam goes back to rest.โ
Lu Liangwei glanced at Madam Zheng blandly.
โYouโre only starting to panic nowโwhat were you doing earlier?โ
The minute Lu Yunshuang was about to return to the mansion, Aunt Zheng could not wait to let the entire household know about itโall she lacked was a gong to make noise with.
She wanted everyone to be at the mansion entrance to welcome Lu Yunshuang.
