1516 Worried About Her Weak Health
Beitang You smiled softly. “I’ll take your advice, Big Sis. Once I return, I’ll find myself a suitable girl and get married.”
Lu Liangwei was quite happy to hear that. “That’s good. I’ll wait for your good news.”
Lu Liangwei could not help running forward a couple of steps as she watched her daughters’ carriage beginning to move, but she stopped herself.
“Don’t worry, Your Highness. The princesses might not have traveled that far before, but they aren’t ordinary girls from noble families. They are capable of protecting themselves and they will be fine,” Zhan Qing consoled her.
Lu Liangwei nodded and watched as the carriage drove away before turning her gaze away.
It was only until the horse-drawn carriage disappeared from view that Lu Liangwei finally sighed. She looked at Zhan Qing and said, “Let’s go home.”
Since they were out of the Palace, Lu Liangwei took the opportunity to stop at the Grand Duke Mansion.
She missed her grandmother as she had not seen her grandmother in a while.
The Dowager Duchess smiled widely when she found out Lu Liangwei was here and immediately went out of Longevity Hall to welcome her.
Lu Liangwei had already arrived at the courtyard when she saw her grandmother walking out. She quickened her steps to greet her.
“Why did you come out, Grandmother?” She asked anxiously as she held her grandmother’s arm and led her back inside. “It’s cold out here. We should go in quickly.”
The Dowager Duchess held Lu Liangwei’s hand and griped, “You silly child. I’m not that weak. The weather is wonderful today. You should accompany me for a walk in the garden.”
Lu Liangwei had no idea whether to laugh or cry at this. She was not able to convince her grandmother otherwise and could only take off her fur overcoat to cover her grandmother with it.
Her grandmother was now eighty-five. Even though she was healthy, it was still best to take care of her.
The Dowager Duchess sighed and rubbed her head. “You’re wearing even more thinly than I am and you’re letting me have this overcoat. What if you catch a cold?”
“I’ll be fine. I’m still young and won’t catch a cold that easily,” Lu Liangwei tried to convince her.
They walked along a little path and reached the garden.
Besides the Dowager Duchess, Lu Xue was also at the mansion. When she found out her aunt was there, she rushed to the garden.
Lu Liangwei smiled and waved her over when she saw her dainty, pretty niece. “Come here, Xue’er.”
“Aunt Liangwei.” Lu Xue gave her a bow.
“Where are your grandparents and your parents?” Lu Liangwei asked.
“Grandfather and grandmother just went out. Father and Mother went to visit a friend early this morning.” Lu Xue began coughing softly after saying this.
Lu Liangwei helped her to a seat when she saw this and took the opportunity to check her pulse.
It was an old illness and there was nothing much she could do about it.
“Put on more clothes if you’re cold, and don’t stand in the wind,” she instructed.
“Yes, Aunt Liangwei,” Lu Xue replied obediently. After that, she asked about Yaoyao and Ji’er.
“They went off to West Water Frontier to have fun. I had just only seen them out of the city gates,” said Lu Liangwei. She noticed a hint of envy flashing in Lu Xue’s eyes and could not help but feel sad for her.
This child had always been weak, which was why she could only stay in the mansion all year long. It was not easy for her to have fun outside.
The Dowager Duchess noticed this as well and sighed in her heart. She rubbed her great-granddaughter’s cold, little hands and said lovingly, “The wind is strong today. Let’s go inside.”
“Yes, Great-grandmother.” Lu Xue knew very well that her great-grandmother wanted to have a seat in the garden, but was worried about her weak health, which was why she suggested going inside the house.
She felt a little bad about it and blamed herself for not having a healthy body.
Even though the adults had never expressed it in front of her before, she knew very well that they were especially worried for her. Also, she had always been a burden to them
