Chapter 384: What Was That Look In Her Eyes

“Thank you, Aunt Lan.” After finishing the sour plum soup, Lu Liangwei thanked Aunt Lan.

Aunt Lan had excellent cooking skills, and the sour plum soup she made was very thirst-quenching. She initially did not want to drink it, but the moment it entered her mouth, she could not help downing the whole serving.

Aunt Lan was glad to see this. “No need to be so courteous with me, Miss. You rest well now, then go and have dinner with Madam in the evening. I’ll whip up a delicious meal for you.”

Lu Liangwei’s eyes lit up. “I’ll be there tonight.”

Aunt Lan nodded with a smile and left with the empty bowl.

After drinking the sour plum soup, Lu Liangwei felt much better. She sat down on the couch beside the window and asked Chu Jiu, “Has there been any news from the imperial capital recently?”

Chu Jiu knew what she wanted to ask, but unfortunately, she did not have the answer.

Earlier, the Emperor had come and left in such a hurry that she did not even get the chance to report to him about Second Miss nearly being assassinated.

The Emperor had not visited since his last departure.

“No.” Chu Jiu shook her head.

Lu Liangwei was a little disappointed.

She expected that there would not be any news, but she could not stop herself from asking anyway.

She patted her head, feeling that she was no longer herself.

She had to find something to do, or else she would lose her mind if she went on like this.

Lu Tingchen had not seen Lu Liangwei for a long time. He happened to be on leave today, so he made a trip to Tianzhu Mountain to visit her.

He went to greet his grandmother first then followed Aunt Lan’s instructions to Lu Liangwei’s quarters.

However, the moment he entered, he saw an androgynous-looking person sitting at the table in the outer room, wiping a sword in their hands with a cloth.

Lu Tingchen frowned and growled, “Who are you? Who allowed you to enter?”

Chu Jiu had already heard the sound of footsteps entering, but she paid it no mind.

Someone who could access Second Miss’s quarters must be a member of the Lu family. However, now that she heard a man’s questioning voice, she frowned and turned to look.

A tall and lean man was standing at the door. After shooting him a glance, she immediately turned her head back and ignored him.

This person was probably Second Miss’s older brother, Lu Tingchen.

Before she came here to guard Second Miss, Butler Zhao had briefly explained the Lu family situation to her. Therefore, although she had never seen Lu Tingchen before, she could identify him at a glance.

It was because this person looked a lot like the Grand Duke.

Lu Tingchen was stunned when he saw the person turn around. So it was a woman.

But what kind of clothes was she wearing?

How unsightly for a woman to wear such fitted clothes.

More important was not her poor appearance but that she had the nerve to ignore him. Moreover, why was she in Weiwei’s quarters? Also, what was she planning to do with a sword?

“I asked you, who allowed you to enter this place?” Lu Tingchen strode in.

With a flip of her sword, Chu Jiu pointed it at Lu Tingchen and said coldly, “That’s none of your business.”

Lu Tingchen did not expect that she would suddenly point the sword at him. Fortunately, he managed to stop in time, or his blood would have already been spilled.

As Lu Tingchen eyed the bone-chilling sharp blade in front of him, his face hardened. “You’re standing on my family’s grounds, and you say that’s none of my business?”

Chu Jiu glanced at him coolly, then withdrew her sword and stood up.

Lu Tingchen had never seen such a rude girl before.

What was that look in her eyes?

“I’m talking to you. Are you mute?”

Chu Jiu frowned. She did not think that she needed to answer him.

The Emperor had only ordered her to guard Second Miss, not to be the Lu family’s slave.

She sheathed her sword, turned, and walked out.

At that moment, Lu Liangwei came in, and when she saw her walking out, she shouted, “Jiu, I’ve made some heat-relieving dessert. Come in and eat, it’s cold and sweet.”
