1704 Lu Liangweis Ruse Of Self-Injury

Although Jier had run away in distress, Long Yin believed she was smart enough to keep herself safe.

However, if he joked about his mothers health and it came true

Long Yins eyes darkened. Nohe could not take any risks with her.

Yiner? Lu Liangwei urged.

Mother, well find Jier somehow or other, but were not going to use your safety to trick her into coming back. Long Yin rejected the idea firmly.

Lu Liangwei was stunned.

Looking at her son, who was the spitting image of Long Yang, she pursed her lips. Like father, like son.

From her sons demeanor, it seemed that nothing would make him agree to issue the imperial decree.

However, she felt that her idea could work. If Jier saw the decree, she would come back to see her, no matter what.

Was that not much better than depending on Long Yang and the others blind search?

Her eyes darted about as an idea came to her. Without warning, she buried her face in her hands and began to cry.

The usually composed and prudent Long Yin flinched when he heard his mothers sobs, and his handsome face contorted in alarm. Mother, dont cry

Lu Liangwei shoved his hand away and turned around. She gave herself a quick, hard pinch, then started to whimper accusingly, Long Yin, you think you can dismiss what I say now that youre grown up, dont you? If you cant even agree to this small request, how am I supposed to count on you in the future? I knew ityoure bullying me because your fathers not around

Long Yin wholeheartedly believed that his father would skin him if came back and found out that he had made his mother cry.

He rubbed his forehead, his voice softening. Im not rejecting your request for no reason, Mother. Theres just too much at stake. Besides, when Jier comes back and finds out you tricked her into thinking you were ill, shell get even angrier. In fact, she might run farther away and never come back.

Lu Liangwei immediately stopped her fake weeping and said anxiously, That wont happen. As long as she comes back, Ill find a way to persuade her; if she gets mad, Ill apologize to her. Even if she doesnt forgive me, I dont mind as long as shes back. Its better than her being on her own out there.

Yiner sighed. He knew how worried his mother was about Jier, but he still found the suggestion inappropriate.

Mother, dont forget youre a brilliant physician. Even if youre ill, we can still get Grandmother or even other imperial physicians to treat you. I dont think your idea will work for sure, he tried to talk her out of it.

Lu Liangwei knitted her brow. Just say Ive become so sick with worry that nothing can cure me. Once Jier sees the decree, shell know Im sick because Im worried about her, and its not something that can be cured by a physician. She paused, then added, How I wish I can fall sick for realif I do, I wont have to fake it, and you wont have to feel so uncomfortable

Mother! Long Yin boomed, cutting her off hotly. Do you enjoy cursing yourself that much? Have you even thought about how sad that would make Father and us three?

Startled by the sudden scowl that had taken over her sons face, Lu Liangwei replied diffidently, I was just joking; you didnt have to be so serious! Its not good to be so pedantic at such a young age, you know!

A vein on Long Yins forehead twitched. He was so exasperated that he did not want to continue the conversation.

Please leave, Mother. Youre taking up my time for reviewing Palace Memorials.

Lu Liangwei stiffened. She wanted to continue persuading him, but when she saw the fatigue in his eyes, she stifled her words.

Very well. Well discuss this another time. With a sigh, she left the imperial study.
