Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart
Chapter 1717 Avoid Offending Anyone
Long Yin threw her a glance and said airily, "Ducks with flat bills are noisy."
Yaoyao was bewildered for a moment before realizing that he was talking about her.
"You're awful, Royal Brother! How could you call your own sister a duck?"
"I didn't call you that. Why are you rushing to admit it?" A faint smile played on Long Yin's lips.
"Mother, Royal Brother's always bullying me." Yaoyao shook Lu Liangwei's arm sulkily.
Immediately, Lu Liangwei frowned in feigned disapproval. "Yin'er, how could you bully your sister? Apologize to her this instant."

Hexin, who had been focused on her meal all this time, glanced up at him, then at Yaoyao, and said in confusion, "I was eating and wasn't paying attention just now. What did you say?"
Long Yin gave her a long look.
This girl may be young, but she was good at dodging the question to avoid offending anyone.
Yaoyao turned to Hexin indignantly. "Xinxin, I can't believe you're not helping me."
Amused, Lu Liangwei served her some food with her chopsticks while chiding, "You two siblings talk too much; just look at how well-mannered Xinxin is. No talking while eating, you hear me?"
Yaoyao pouted, but she stopped whining. She lowered her head and started to eat.
Just like that, the interlude was over.
Lu Liangwei looked at Hexin approvingly. "Help yourself, Xinxin."
"Yes, Aunt Liangwei," Hexin answered meekly and continued with her meal.
All was pleasant at the dining table.
Lu Liangwei's birthday came two days later. Long Yang had meant to hold a grand celebration for her, but Ji'er's disappearance dampened everyone's spirits.
Moreover, Lu Liangwei was unwilling to celebrate it in Long Yang's absence.
Nevertheless, Long Yin, Yaoyao, Hexin, the Dowager Duchess, and Lu Xue had a meal with her that day.
Her birthday went by quietly.
Hexin had visited Great Shang mainly to celebrate Lu Liangwei's birthday, only to be shocked by the news about Ji'er.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe had intended to return to the Yan Kingdom after celebrating Lu Liangwei's birthday, but since she was concerned about Lu Liangwei's glum mood and Ji'er, she ended up postponing her return trip.
Although Lu Liangwei was mostly in low spirits because of Ji'er, she had not forgotten that Hexin had traveled a long way to Great Shang. She asked Long Yin and Yaoyao to find time to hang out with Hexin.
Long Yin agreed and said he would take Hexin out once he was free.
One day, Lu Xue visited the palace. That night, Yaoyao asked her not to go home and stay with her instead.
Lu Xue was hesitant. "But I'm worried about Great-Grandmother—she's alone at home."
"It's just one night. The servants will take care of her. Besides, she's been pretty energetic lately. Even if you go back now, you won't get to spend much time with her before having to go to bed yourself."
"You youngsters don't get to hang out together all the time, so just stay, Xue'er. Don't worry about your great-grandmother. I'll send someone to inform her," Lu Liangwei added.
"I'll be returning to the Yan Kingdom soon, Big Sis Lu Xue. Stay and spend time with us," Hexin chimed in.
"All right then." Unable to decline their enthusiastic offer, Lu Xue agreed reluctantly.
Long Yin had gone to the imperial study after dinner to handle state affairs. As for the three girls, they chatted with Lu Liangwei in her quarters for a while before heading to Yaoyao's Pear Blossom Palace.
