Chapter 394: Lu Liangwei Felt Gooseb.u.mps All Over

Long Chi glanced at the object in his hand and apologized to the Dowager d.u.c.h.ess, We have acted absurdly in front of the Dowager d.u.c.h.ess. Shuanger was just afraid for me

He paused before continuing, Please dont be angry at Shuanger, Dowager d.u.c.h.ess.

The Dowager d.u.c.h.ess waved it off. How could I dare get angry at the Crown Princess? No need to apologize like this, Your Highness.

Lu Yunshuangs face turned as white as a sheet. She moved forward and tugged at the Dowager d.u.c.h.ess sleeve. She said pitifully, Grandmother, Ive made a mountain out of a molehill. I shouldnt have reprimanded Weiwei, Grandmother

The Dowager d.u.c.h.ess pulled her sleeve away. The Crown Princess will always side with the Crown Prince and worry for his safety. Thats how its supposed to be, so of course Im not angry. Still, the next time the Crown Prince and Crown Princess decide to visit the mansion, it would be best if you two sent someone ahead of time to inform us. If something did happen to either of you before you met us in the garden, the Grand Duke Family would not have been able to help since we didnt know you were nearby.

Blood seemed to have completely left Lu Yunshuangs face.

Even though the Dowager d.u.c.h.ess had not said anything that sounded too serious, the subtext within every word and sentence she said revealed the distinct line between Lu Yunshuang and Lu Liangwei.

Lu Yunshuang stood still, suddenly feeling helpless. It was a pitiful sight.

Long Chi was a little upset with her.

What was she doing, making a big fuss over nothing?

Regardless of her behavior, Lu Yunshuang was still her granddaughter, so the Dowager d.u.c.h.ess sighed when she saw her acting that way. Thats enough. Dont just stand there. Lets go in and have some tea.

With that, she took the lead and walked off first.

Grandmother, let me help you there, Lu Yunshuang immediately rushed forward in hopes of pleasing her grandmother with favors.

She could not let her grandmother dislike her, no matter what. She had to get back into her good graces.

Lu Yunshuang was so engrossed in her goal of pleasing the Dowager d.u.c.h.ess that she failed to notice Long Chi was not following behind her.

Long Chi was still standing where he had been from the start. When he saw Lu Liangwei walking over with the racket in her hand, a look flashed through his eyes as he approached her.

Weiwei, youre such a playful thing. This nearly hit me. He offered the shuttlec.o.c.k back to her as he said this.

Lu Liangwei felt gooseb.u.mps all over her body. She did not reach out to take it. Instead, she turned to Zhu Yu and said, Thank His Highness.

Zhu Yu immediately understood and walked forward quickly. She reached out to take the shuttlec.o.c.k from Long Chis hand.

Long Chi did not even look at her as he retracted his hand and kept the shuttlec.o.c.k to himself. He pressed Lu Liangwei and said, The Dowager d.u.c.h.ess must be tired. Why dont I play with you instead?

He had watched them play for quite a while so he had an idea of how to play this strange new game.

Lu Liangwei immediately flung over her simply-constructed racket to Chu Jiu. Have a good game with His Highness.

Chu Jiu grabbed the racket and spared a look at Long Chi as she walked forward. Please, Your Highness!

The veins on Long Chis forehead twitched. Who would want to play with this tomboy?

He immediately got bored and flung the shuttlec.o.c.k at Zhu Yu.

You two should just play amongst yourselves.

Zhu Yu had been watching her Miss play with the Dowager d.u.c.h.ess for a while, and she was itching to try it out herself. Now that she had her hands on the shuttlec.o.c.k, she immediately jumped at the opportunity. Chu Jiu, lets play against each other?

Chu Jiu lowered her head to look at the racket in her hand. The outer parts were made out of bamboo while the strings on the inner section were pulled together from fis.h.i.+ng lines.

It was such a simple-looking thing, yet the Dowager d.u.c.h.ess and Second Miss had had so much fun playing with it.

She reached out her fingers to brush against the strings. She nodded toward Zhu Yu. Lets go.

When Lu Liangwei saw that the two girls were about to play against each other, she grew interested and walked into the pavilion.

Long Chi followed her when he saw this. He borrowed a fan from one of the servants and stood next to her, fanning her gently.

Lu Liangwei noticed a light breeze coming toward her and wondered which thoughtful servant it could be. She turned to see and her face immediately darkened.

What was this sc.u.mbag Crown Prince, Long Chi, thinking of? Why was he following her around?
