ng the girl’s apparent change, she asked with some concern, “Weiwei, why are you so quiet today?”

When the Dowager Duchess addressed her, Lu Liangwei could only put down her bowl and chopsticks and answer obediently, “The dishes today are so delicious, I am simply captivated.
How embarrassing of me, behaving like this in front of Grandmother.” As she spoke, she stuck out her tongue playfully.

The coy behavior of the girl brought a hint of a smile on the Dowager Duchess’s face.
“Since you find the food delicious, do have more.”

“Thank you, Grandmother,” Lu Liangwei said.
Just when she was about to pick up her chopsticks again, another pair of chopsticks suddenly picked up a piece of chicken and placed it in her bowl.

“Weiwei got into quite some trouble this time, so she should eat more to nourish her body.” Aunt Zheng beamed, her voice extremely gentle, appearing as if she cared dearly for Lu Liangwei.

Eyeing the piece of chicken in her bowl, Lu Liangwei lost her appetite abruptly.

However, before she could take any action, the Dowager Duchess’s initially mild expression had already sunk.
“Trouble? What trouble did Weiwei get into?”

Aunt Zheng immediately put on an uneasy expression as though she had unintentionally let the cat out of the bag, muttering anxiously, “Actually it’s nothing much.
Don’t worry, Madam.”

The Dowager Duchess snorted heavily and shifted her gaze to Lu Hetian.
“What happened here while I was away?”

Although the news of Lu Liangwei hanging herself for the Heir Apparent had already spread throughout the imperial capital, Lu Hetian continued to keep it a secret from the Dowager Duchess and did not pass the news to her.

Now, Aunt Zheng’s words had raised the Dowager Duchess’s speculation.
Lu Hetian shot Aunt Zheng a look of mild displeasure.

The Dowager Duchess was already quite critical of Weiwei.
If she were to learn about Weiwei hanging herself following her unrequited love for the Heir Apparent, she would probably dislike her even more.

He exhaled silently and was getting ready to explain when Lu Liangwei rose from her seat and knelt at the feet of the Dowager Duchess.
