Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart Chapter 290 - Was He Bewitched By That Slut, Lu Liangwei

Chapter 290: Was He Bewitched By That s.l.u.t, Lu Liangwei

“Grandmother knows me best.”

Lu Liangwei was not embarra.s.sed about being exposed. Instead, she smiled as she finished her sentence and then ran off quickly as if the soles of her feet had been smothered in slippery oil.

“She’s already such a big girl and yet she’s acting like this,” the Dowager d.u.c.h.ess shook her head as she watched Lu Liangwei run off. It may have seemed like a rebuke, but a smile was still hanging on her face.

Lu Yunshuang felt unhappy watching this play out. She was filled with jealousy and hate.

When did a dummy like Lu Liangwei worm her way into grandmother’s heart to make grandmother like her so much?

Lu Liangwei could act in such a carefree manner in front of grandmother without bothering to be courteous, and grandmother was allowing her to do so.

It was almost impossible to hold back the viciousness she felt.

When she turned to look at Long Chi, his gaze had been lingering outside the door for quite some time. Lu Yunshuang’s expression darkened.

What was the Crown Prince looking at? What was so interesting out there?

She was about to say something when Long Chi suddenly stood up. “Dowager d.u.c.h.ess, I noticed the garden looked quite beautiful when I came in. I’d like to take a look and also check if the Grand Duke is home. If he is back, I won’t be returning here. There’s something I need to discuss with him.”

The Dowager d.u.c.h.ess gently nodded, “Go on, Crown Prince. It will be enough for me to have Shuang’er here.”

Long Chi nodded back and said quietly to Lu Yunshuang, “You haven’t been home for quite a while. Now that you’re back, you should spend some time with the Dowager d.u.c.h.ess. Otherwise, you’ll start missing her again once we get home.”

Lu Yunshuang gave him a shy look and replied obediently, “I understand.”

“Alright,” Long Chi turned to leave. He looked as if he wanted to leave as quickly as possible.

The smile on Lu Yunshuang’s face immediately vanished without a trace the moment he left. The only thing keeping her sane was focusing on the sensation of her nails digging deep into her palms.

What was the Crown Prince doing and what did it all mean?

Was it not enough for him to entice Chen Qiyu? Was he now bewitched by that s.l.u.t, Lu Liangwei?

His words may have sounded grand and sincere, but did he really think she was stupid enough to not discern his true intentions?

Lu Liangwei had just left and he was in a hurry to follow suit?

The beauty of the Eastern Palace’s garden could never lose out to that of the Grand Duke Mansion.

Who did he think he was bluffing?!

The Dowager d.u.c.h.ess gave her a cool look but said nothing.

As someone who has lived as long as she has, she knew there were many situations where it took but only a look to understand another person’s feelings.

She did not explicitly point out what was transpiring, though she understood what had just taken place.

Lu Yunshuang quickly remembered that her grandmother was still watching her. She quickly adjusted her emotions, sitting down once again. She leaned on her grandmother’s arms and spoke sadly. “Grandmother…”

The Dowager d.u.c.h.ess returned the groan with a warm, patient smile. “What’s wrong? Who’s been bullying you?”

Lu Yunshuang opened her mouth. She wanted to declare that Lu Liangwei was a s.l.u.t who had seduced her husband, but she buried those words in her heart. She was not stupid enough to say that out loud.

She used her handkerchief to wipe the tears br.i.m.m.i.n.g from the corner of an eye as she sobbed, “There’s been a crowd of new faces coming into the Eastern Palace. Beauty Chen is the one among them who pleases the Crown Prince…”

The Dowager d.u.c.h.ess replied back without much emotion, “When you chose this path at first, you should have already been mentally prepared for this. Even a man from a normal family can have several wives, what more the Crown Prince?”

Unhappiness rose within her when Lu Yunshuang heard this. If Lu Liangwei was the one in her situation, would the Dowager d.u.c.h.ess lecture her the same calm, unfeeling way?

At the thought of this, she blurted out, “Lil Sis will sure be facing the same situation soon, since she has chosen this path as well.”

The Dowager d.u.c.h.ess did not comment on this as she picked up the ginseng tea Aunt Lan served earlier, taking a sip. She smiled and said, “The ginseng gifted by Weiwei is not bad at all. I’ve been taking it for many days and I’m feeling much more energetic now.”

Aunt Lan smiled and said, “That’s true. This ginseng is truly the best of the best. Just take a whiff of it and you’ll find that it’s different from other normal ginsengs.”
