Chapter 31: She Really Knows How To Cause Trouble
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At the sight of the dainty bamboo leaf cakes on the plate, the smile on Lu Yunshuang’s face almost fell apart.
However, she had always been good at self-control and forcibly restrained the urge to throw these bamboo leaf cakes, or whatever they were, onto the floor.
She lifted her head and said in satisfaction, “I honestly didn’t expect that Lil Sis’s craftsmans.h.i.+p would be so fine. I haven’t seen you for a few days, and you can make bamboo leaf cakes already.”
Everyone could hear the meaning implicit in Lu Yunshuang’s words.
This was because, in the past, Lu Liangwei had not accomplished anything at all, let alone master a craft like making bamboo leaf cakes.
Her only deeds were running after Long Chi and doing many stupid things for his sake.
How could a person like Lu Liangwei know how to make bamboo leaf cakes?
It could be that they were made by someone else, and she had lied, saying she made them herself.
Lu Liangwei blinked, seemingly unaware of the implied meaning in Lu Yunshuang’s words. She nodded and agreed easily, “That’s right, I didn’t expect that I could do so many things and even do them well.
“Now that I think about it, I used to waste so much time. I shouldn’t have done that. Fortunately, I’ve come to my senses early enough.
“I believe that as long as one truly focuses on doing something, no matter how long it takes, they will always do it well.”
The Dowager d.u.c.h.ess was very moved when she heard Lu Liangwei’s words.
It seemed that this granddaughter of hers had genuinely come to her senses after all.
She patted Lu Liangwei’s hand comfortingly. “Weiwei’s right, that’s how it is. As long as you’re serious about doing something, you can always do it well.”
“Thank you for your encouragement, Grandmother.” Lu Liangwei took advantage of the opportunity to lean into the Dowager d.u.c.h.ess’s arms.
The Dowager d.u.c.h.ess patted her on the back, feeling very pleased.
Lu Yunshuang’s expression was unpleasant in the extreme.
Seeing Lu Liangwei snuggling in the Dowager d.u.c.h.ess’s arms, she wanted nothing more but to haul her out.
This Lu Liangwei was really becoming more and more nauseating.
She used to pester the Heir Apparent relentlessly, but now she was attaching herself to the Dowager d.u.c.h.ess.
How could such a disgusting person exist?
Lu Yunshuang was so furious that her chest heaved unsteadily.
Seeing the Heir Apparent drinking tea next to her, she was struck by an idea. She covered her mouth and laughed softly. “Lil Sis must have undergone such a change for the Heir Apparent, right? What Lil Sis said is not wrong; as long as one is serious about doing something, they will definitely succeed.”
As soon as these words fell, the hall immediately became silent.
The Dowager d.u.c.h.ess frowned. Looking down at her youngest granddaughter, she could not help but harbor a trace of suspicion in her heart.
Had Weiwei’s sudden change come about for the Heir Apparent’s sake?
Could it be that she was still not yet over the Heir Apparent, and had taken a new path in a vain attempt to impress him?
At the thought of this possibility, the Dowager d.u.c.h.ess’s expression turned slightly dour.
Noticing this, Lu Liangwei cursed Lu Yunshuang inwardly.
Seeing that Long Chi had also turned his gaze toward her, she sneered in her heart.
‘This Lu Yunshuang really knows how to cause trouble.’
She had purposely avoided her sister’s limelight, but Lu Yunshuang still refused to let her off the hook.
“Big Sis, it’s wrong of you to say that. The Heir Apparent is my brother-in-law. As long as you know your place and don’t make any missteps, His Highness will have no reason for divorcing you, so he will always be my brother-in-law.
“Please don’t say things like that again, Big Sis. If people hear you, you’ll only become a laughingstock. The Duke Mansion can’t afford to lose face like this.”
Her tone was not aggressive and was even soft and sweet, but to Lu Yunshuang’s ears, it was as if she had been slapped in the face. She immediately burned with rage.
She involuntarily glanced at Long Chi; in the depths of his eyes, however, she saw a trace of disapproval.
She bit her lip. She had only brought up the Heir Apparent because she had panicked. She had truly expected that Lu Liangwei would be ashamed and annoyed, and would further justify the Dowager d.u.c.h.ess’ disappointment in her.
She had never thought that Lu Liangwei would counter her so indifferently with just a few words.
