1760: No Need To Do This On My Behalf

No Need To Do This On My Behalf

Mother sure knows how to defend her husband.0

The truth was right in front of them and she still insisted on defending Father!

Yaoyao did not expose her about this. All she said was, "I might have seen wrong."

"Yes, you did." Lu Liangwei rubbed her head with a smile. "Alright, Ji'er has had a long day traveling and in addition to that, she's pregnant. We should let her have some rest. If you have anything you'd like to talk to her about, let's wait until she is well-rested."

"You're right. I'll walk Ji'er back," Yaoyao said immediately.

"Alright. Go along now." Lu Liangwei watched the three of them leave Grand Phoenix Palace with a smile on her face.

When night came, Lu Liangwei headed to Hidden Dragon Palace to see him when he did not turn up.

"You're really planning to stay here tonight, aren't you?" Lu Liangwei was a little exasperated to see him reading while leaning against the window when she entered.

He had refused to stay in Hidden Dragon Palace before no matter how much she tried to chase him away as he insisted to stick by her side. Yet now, he had instantly moved back to his palace the moment Ji'er returned.

"I'm just worried Ji'er would be unhappy to see me." Long Yang's fingers massaged his forehead. He looked a little tired.

Lu Liangwei took off her shoes and sat behind him when she saw this. She reached out to massage him and asked, "Did you punch Lil Qi this afternoon?"

Long Yang grunted coldly at the mention of Lil Qi with a grim look on his face. "Lil Qi has really disappointed me. How could he…" He sighed and did not continue.

"Lil Qi isn't a frivolous man. Besides, they've already gone through a wedding ceremony and are officially husband and wife. You shouldn't get so agitated over something that is already set in stone," Lu Liangwei said and suddenly leaned in close to his face. She said with a smile, "You're going to be a grandfather soon."

A smile finally appeared on Long Yang's face when he heard this. "Yes, I am. And you're going to be a grandmother."

Lu Liangwei said emotionally, "The days have gone by really quickly. Our children have all grown up in a blink of an eye and they are all ready to be married. Even Ji'er's child will be born soon."

Long Yang's expression softened as he hugged her in his arms while seated. "Yes. I'll give up the throne in two more years and travel around with you. When we're free, we'll help them look after their children."

Imagining this scene made Lu Liangwei burst out laughing. "I'm really finding it difficult to imagine what you would look like playing with your grandchildren."

"You're making it sound like I've never carried a child in my arms before. I often carried the children when Yin'er and the girls were younger," Long Yang said with a smile and brushed her nose with his fingers.

"Your children and your grandchildren are different," Lu Liangwei retorted while in his arms.

They sat there silently for a while before they began to talk about Ji'er and Chu Qi's wedding.

"Ji'er is more than two months pregnant right now. We should have the coming-of-age celebration for her earlier. Otherwise, it would not be a nice sight once her pregnancy is noticeable."

"Their wedding ceremony is held too rashly. We should hold another wedding for them after the coming-of-age ceremony," Long Yang said in a low voice.

"I have the exact thought." Lu Liangwei nodded.

The next day.

Lu Liangwei went for a walk with Ji'er in the imperial garden.

"Be careful where you step, Ji'er." Lu Liangwei gave Ji'er a hand when they walked up the rockery.

Ji'er knew her mother had something to say to her, which was why she hesitated after they sat in the pavilion on the rockery. She bit her lips before voicing out, "Mother, let Father return to Grand Phoenix Palace. There is no need to…no need to do this on my behalf."

She lowered her head after saying this.

Since her return, she did not see her father at all. It was not hard to guess that he had taken the trouble to avoid her.
