1305 Leaned Into His Arms, Looking Like She Was About To Fall Asleep

No one knew her big brother better and about Chu Jius relations.h.i.+p with him more than she did. The two of them had always been at loggerheads.

However, according to her mothers letter, her big brother now wanted to take Chu Jiu as his wife. She and her grandmother were tasked to take on the work to help plan their wedding.

From the contents of the letter, it looked like her big brother wanted this done as soon as possible.

Lu Liangwei could not help seizing the letter back from Long Yangs hand and reading it all over again.

Whats wrong? Long Yang found it funny that she was reading the letter so carefully one more time. Could Weiwei actually think that she had read it wrong?

Just as he had thought, the moment this crossed his mind, he heard Lu Liangwei say, I wanted to make sure that I didnt read this wrong. Or, it could be that Mothers playing a joke on me.

What do you think about it now? Long Yang raised an eyebrow as he asked with a smile.

Lu Liangwei put the letter down and shook her head. Her pet.i.te face looked serious. Its not a joke. Besides, Mother would never use big brothers marriage to play a joke on me. The letter also mentioned that Grandmother and I should quickly pick an auspicious date. She sighed as she said this. I never expected my brother and Jiu would end up together. Im so curious about them. They have never gotten along. Why would they

When she thought up until this point, Lu Liangwei still felt like this was all a dream.

Long Yang was honestly surprised as well. It was quite a sudden development, after all.

The only explanation is that they were always meant to be, he said slowly.

Lu Liangwei nodded.

This reminded her of something as Lu Liangwei quickly said, By the way, Your Majesty, about this matter, should I be roping Butler Zhao into the discussion too?

Yes. Chu Jiu has no other family in the world. You definitely should discuss this with Zhao Qian. They might not be officially an adopted family, but in truth, Zhao Qian has always treated Chu Jiu as his daughter, said Long Yang.

Lu Liangwei nodded when she heard this. I understand. Although, Im a little curious about the story behind Butler Zhao and Jiu. Do you know about it, Your Majesty?

A little, Long Yang said softly as he lowered his head to watch lovingly at the daughter in his arms.

The little rascal must be exhausted. She gently leaned into his arms, looking like she was about to fall asleep.

He smiled and his movement became gentler.

Tell me about it, Your Majesty. Id like to learn more about Jius past. Lu Liangwei was not trying to check on Jius history. All she wanted was to get to know her better.

Even though Jiu had been by her side for a long time, she did not speak much and was cold and distant most of the time.

Aside from the fact that Jiu had a special relations.h.i.+p with Zhao Qian, Lu Liangwei did not know anything about her.

She felt that there must be a story behind Jius background, but had never dared to ask Jiu directly.

Now that her big brother had fallen for Jiu and her mother had taken the trouble to write a letter for help on the wedding, there was no doubt Jiu would end up being her sister-in-law.

Lu Liangwei should be showing her future sister-in-law more concern now.

Long Yang had never been interested in the personal matters of the people around him, and their personal lives had never interested him, but since Weiwei wanted to know, he told her everything he knew.

Chu Jius father was an official in the imperial court, but was framed by an unscrupulous individual. The late Emperor sent men to seize their familys property and Chu Jius father ended up being carted away for execution. The other men in the family were exiled while the womenfolk were all sent to the Royal Academy.

Lu Liangwei was astonished. It was during the late Emperors time? Wouldnt that mean Jiu had just been born?

Yes. Chu Jiu grew up in the Royal Academy and was brought up by her mother who danced for a living. Her mother later contracted a serious illness and Chu Jiu was nearly sold into the brothel. It was Zhao Qian who saved her. She was around seven or eight at the time. Not long after that, her mother died from the illness, and I happened to need more people at the time. So, Zhao Qian brought her in to be groomed as a covert guard. She is the only woman among the guards, Long Yang explained. When he noticed Jier had fallen asleep, he hugged her tighter in his arms.
