Thud!
Thud!
Two crashes came, followed by their wailing, “Ah…”
When the two recovered their senses, they clutched their aching buttocks and pointed at Chu Qi, ready to yell at him, but Chu Qi was already in the driver’s seat. With a crack of the reins, he drove the carriage out of the palace.
Zhao Qian, “…”
Chu Yi, “…”
After the carriage had disappeared from view, only then did the two regain their senses.
“Wow, how dare that brat Chu Qi kick us! I’m going to give him the cold shoulder from now on. Mark my words!” Chu Yi was infuriated.
Ignoring his shouts, Zhao Qian hurriedly pulled him onto another carriage carrying gifts as well as Zhu Yu and Chu Jiu.
As they stared at the two squeezing their way in, Chu Jiu’s expression remained unchanged, but Zhu Yu was incredulous.
“How did you fall off just now?”
“Weren’t you watching just now, little girl? We didn’t fall, we were kicked off by Chu Qi.” Chu Yi frowned and scolded her.
Zhu Yu pursed her lips. Was being kicked off less humiliating than falling off himself?
She shot him a look of disdain and sat down beside Chu Jiu.
Chu Yi, “…”
Why did he have the feeling he was being scorned?
At the gates of the Grand Duke Mansion, Lu Liangwei followed Long Yang out of the carriage.
As soon as she got out of the carriage, she saw her grandmother and the others waiting for her.
She hurriedly descended the carriage.
Seeing her in a hurry, Long Yang helped her down. “Don’t rush, you might fall.”
As soon as he uttered those words, the Dowager Duchess, Lu Hetian, and Lu Tingchen came forward and greeted them, “Your Majesty, Your Highness…”
However, before they could bow, Long Yang reached out and supported the Dowager Duchess.
“We’re all family, no need for formalities.” He paused and glanced at the forbearance on Lu Liangwei’s face, then said to them, “Otherwise Weiwei is going to feel bad and lose sleep when she gets back.”
Hearing this, Lu Liangwei quickly held Lu Hetian and Lu Tingchen’s arms and said softly, “Since His Majesty has said so, you should forgo the formalities. Besides, I don’t like it either.”
She detested this sort of ancient etiquette the most.
Whenever a lady in the family married into the palace, her parents and elders had to salute her regardless.
She used to think nothing of it, but now that it was happening to her, she loathed it bitterly and felt a strong sense of guilt.
How could she let her grandmother, father, and older brother bow down to her?
That would be too unfilial of her.
Hearing her express her dislike, Lu Hetian and Lu Tingchen did not continue bowing to them.
The Dowager Duchess straightened up as well.
She still understood this granddaughter of hers quite well. If she said she did not like something, she meant it.
As the Emperor said, if they bowed down to her, this girl would feel bad and lose sleep over it when she got back.
They entered the mansion while Zhao Qian and the others carried in the gifts they had brought.
Lu Liangwei held Lu Hetian’s arm and looked around. She felt disappointed when she did not see Ling Lihua. “Dad, why isn’t Mom here?”
Lu Hetian’s face turned glum. “Your mother refused to come back. She’s still in your medicinal shop, you can visit her there later.”
Hearing this, Lu Liangwei nodded. “Alright, I’ll go and see Mom later.”
Lu Hetian and his son led Long Yang to the front courtyard for tea, while Lu Liangwei followed the Dowager Duchess back to Longevity Hall.
Before even sitting down, the Dowager Duchess turned around eagerly and took Lu Liangwei’s hand. She looked her all over, and after a while, she said in relief, “Our Weiwei is all grown up.”
Lu Liangwei blushed.
It had only been two days, and she could not help having weird thoughts when Grandmother said something like this.
How was she suddenly grown up after getting married?
