Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart

Chapter 560: Provoke without Batting an Eyelid

Lu Yunshuang was in a good mood.She could not resist eating an extra piece of pastry while anticipating to see Lu Liangwei’s drama.

After listening to what Empress Dowager Xiaojing said, Long Yang squinted his eyes.

The old lady was clearly sarcastic toward Weiwei.

His expression immediately sank. Before he managed to say anything, someone scratched the palm of his hand.

He looked down, only to find Lu Liangwei used her wide sleeves as a cover to reach out and scratch his palm with her finger.

A sudden ticklish feeling spread through his heart. He took the chance to grab her soft fingertip.

Lu Liangwei did not expect him to do this. Her face blushed as she tugged her finger back hardly.

She gently shook her head at him, gesturing that he should not have a falling-out with the Empress Dowager just because of her.

Long Yang was never afraid to go against the Empress Dowager.

All these years, he was willing to tolerate Empress Dowager Xiaojing as she was the late Emperor’s last woman to still be alive.

However, if Empress Dowager Xiaojing remained insensible, he would not put up with her anymore.

Weiwei was clearly trying to figure this out on her own. Thus, he had no choice but to restrain himself.

Nevertheless, he decided to let Weiwei play around with it. If Weiwei could not work it out, he would help her solve the problem.

Lu Liangwei felt secretly relieved when she noticed that he was persuaded.

She knew that Long Yang was not afraid of Empress Dowager Xiaojing, but if Long Yang were to oppose the Empress Dowager today for her sake, it would affect his prestige in one way or another.

There might be gossips tomorrow describing that the Empress had only married into the palace for a few days, but had caused a fall-out between the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, and what did she do to bewitch the Emperor to do so.

Restraining her thoughts, she smiled calmly at the Empress Dowager. “Your Imperial Highness, you have a point. Even though the Crown Princess is my sister, I could not help but praise her. The Crown Princess has always been a wise and mature woman, and this quality of hers is something most of us have yet to achieve. It is a blessing for the Crown Prince to marry the Crown Princess, as she is much more dignified and virtuous than any young woman out there. Even if Beauty Chen, who is only a year older than the Crown Princess, were to sit beside her, she still would not look as sophisticated as the Crown Princess. ”

The pleased expression in Lu Yunshuang’s eyes froze instantly and the pastry in her hands were almost crushed into crumbs.

How dare Lu Liangwei used ‘mature’ as a metaphor for her looks?

She was thinking about it angrily, only to see the Crown Prince glancing at her.

She felt slightly startled, and indistinctly felt a hint of despise from the Crown Prince’s glance.

She pinched her fingers tightly into her palm as she shook with rage.

Chen Qiyu hated Lu Yunshuang and would not let go of any. opportunity there was to step on her.

After hearing what Lu Liangwei had said, she immediately went along with it.. “The Empress is right. The Crown Princess is indeed more mature than most of us here. That said, for a place as large as the Eastern Palace, it would need somebody sophisticated and mature to manage and get things done properly.” As she spoke, she placed her fingers on her belly and unconsciously massaged it.

Lu Yunshuang was enraged by her action.

This b*tch!

“Beauty Chen, you should not belittle yourself. We may not be as sophisticated and mature as the Crown Princess, I still think that Beauty Chen has good blessing. I heard the good news that you are pregnant! You should rest well and take good care.”

Beauty Chen put on a meek expression. “Thank you for the Empress’ concern. I will surely take good care.” Saying that, she glanced at Lu Yunshuang with a hint of trepidation. She guarded her belly by putting her hand over it protectively.

Lu Yunshuang squinted her eyes.

What was this b*tch Chen Qiyu trying to imply through her behavior and actions? Did she really think she was going to harm the bastard in her belly?

Just as she was thinking about it, both the Empress Dowager and the Crown Prince looked at her.

Seeing this, Lu Yunshuang was angrier than ever.

In fact, she did want the bastard in Chen Qiyu’s belly to die, but she had yet to think of a perfect plan for it. What’s more, Chen Qiyu’s intriguing behavior would add on to the challenge in dealing with her and the baby in her belly.

Chen Qiyu, you b*tch!

The expression in her eyes turned cold.

Empress Dowager Xiaojing settled back further in her chair. The smile on her face faded. She darted a look at Lu Yunshuang before she surreptitiously glanced at Lu Liangwei.

Well, it looked like she had underestimated this specious girl from the Lu Family!

Without batting an eyelid, she had propagated her sarcasm on Lu Yunshuang and successfully provoked her and Chen Qiyu.

She was such an an eloquent person!
