1748 Lu Liangwei Vaguely Realized Where The Heart Of The Problem Lay

Yes. I just came back from the frontier today, Wanyan Zhi answered.

I see. Hexin nodded.

They headed indoors together.

Meanwhile, Long Yin and Lu Xue ran right into Lu Liangweiwho was coming out of her bedchamberin the covered corridor.

Lu Liangwei blinked in surprise. Her first thought was that Lu Xues health had worsened, and she hurried forward to examine her pulse.

Im fine, Aunt Liangwei. Lu Xue quickly clarified.

Halting, Lu Liangwei gave her a quick scan. Noting the red tinge on the girls usually pale face and the uneasiness in the way she averted her eyes, she slid her gaze to Long Yin in realization.

Yiner, Xueers fine. You can put her down now, she said mildly, feigning ignorance.

Long Yins lips were pressed tightly together, and the gloom had yet to fade from his eyes.

At his mothers words, he glanced down at the girl in his arms.

Her head was drooping in dismay, which made his heart sink.

Yiner? Lu Liangwei called his name again.

Only then did Long Yin come to his senses and set Lu Xue down on the floor.

The instant Lu Xue regained her freedom, she instinctively hid behind Lu Liangwei.

Long Yins grim expression deepened.

Lu Liangwei eyed her son furtively and sighed at his reaction.

Long Yang was righttheir son was obviously carrying a torch for the young lady.

Before she could open her mouth, she caught sight of Wanyan Zhi and Hexin walking toward them.

Oh my! Zhier, youre back! Lu Liangwei was delighted to see the young man approaching her.

Wanyan Zhi was just as joyful to see her, and he hurried forward to greet her. h.e.l.lo, Aunt Liangwei.

Its been a year, hasnt it? Youve gotten taller and more handsome. Lu Liangwei clapped him on the shoulder cheerfully.

Youre too kind. Wanyan Zhis smile was soft with the bashfulness of a young man.

Not at all! Im just telling the truth. Im sure all the ladies in the frontier town were smitten with you. Lu Liangwei chortled.

Long Yins expression soured further at the sight of his mother laughing heartily.

Lu Liangwei noticed it and vaguely realized where the heart of the problem lay.

Without giving herself away, she gestured for them to enter the dining hall. You should head insidedinner will be served soon. Yiner, lead them inside; Ill wait for your father.

Long Yin nodded and strode into the dining hall ahead of everyone else.

Lu Liangwei patted Lu Xues shoulder and said to Wanyan Zhi, Zhier, why dont you take Xueer inside? I think Yiner may have scared her a little just now.

Of course, Aunt Liangwei, Wanyan Zhi replied. There was tenderness in his eyes as they flickered to Lu Xue, and with an inward sigh, he said softly, Lets go in, Xueer.

All right. Pulling herself together, Lu Xue entered the hall with him.

Hexin remained standing in place.

Once the others were gone, Lu Liangwei turned to Hexin, smiling. Why dont you go in, Xinxin?

I thought you might want to ask me something, Aunt Weiwei, Hexin said meekly.

Lu Liangwei patted her on the head approvingly. Youre a considerate girl.

Hexin beamed. Please dont tease me.

Lu Liangwei led her to one side and sat down. The more she looked at the clever, lovely girl, the more her satisfaction grew.

It would be great if Xinxin could become her daughter-in-law. Alas, Yiner was too dense to perceive this blessing.

Tell me what happened just now, she said gently, holding the girls hand.

Hexin told her everything.
