Long Yang paused when he saw the unhappy look in the girl’s eyes. He stood up

as well and looked at Ling Lihua. “What are you doing here, Mother-in-law?

Ling Lihua was uncomfortable with him referring to her as ‘Mother-in-law.

She gave a start when he addressed her previously excited and happy mood

was dampened somewhat because of it.

However, she found it difficult to voice this concern as she looked at Long

Yang. “I think. You better just call me Madam.”

She was not used to having such an old son-in-law. Moreover, it made her

sound old.

Lu Liangwei, “..”

Long Yang raised an eyebrow. “Would it not make us feel like strangers if I

called you Madam?

Ling Lihua immediately replied, “Not at all. Why would it make us feel like

strangers? It’s perfectly fine for you to call me Madam”

Long Yang turned to look at Lu Liangwei. “What do you think, Weiwei?”

Lu Liangwei scratched her sideburns with her fingers and said, “It’s just a

formality, after all. Whatever you use isn’t important. Just refer to whatever

you feel comfortable with, Your Majesty.”

Long Yang nodded when he heard this. “Tl follow your lead, Weiwei.”

He paused and looked at Ling Lihua. “Madam, it looks like you have something

to talk about with Weiwei. I won’t disturb you any longer.”

Ling Lihua was quite satisfied with the behavior of this son-in-law who knew

his place. “Alright. If there’s nothing else, Your Majesty can head to Longevity

Hall and have a game of Go with the Dowager Duchess.”

“That sounds fine,” Long Yang replied airily. A smile flashed in Long Yang’s

eyes when he turned to look at Lu Liangwei, then he strode away and left the

pavilion.

Lu Liangwei’s face burned slightly.

Ling Lihua suddenly came close and hugged her around the shoulders. Ling

Lihua followed Lu Liangwei’s gaze and watched toward the direction Long

Yang left. She could not help saying slyly, “Tt looks like His Majesty is pretty

obedient and listens to you.”

Faced with this teasing, Lu Liangwei could only say, “In what situation is he

being obedient to me, Mother?

“You’re right. He could be just putting up pretenses in front of me,” Ling Lihua

said with a grin while ushering Lu Liangwei to sit down on one of the stone

chairs

“His Majesty is not that sort of person,” Lu Liangwei quickly explained.

“He takes very good care of me.”

Tsk, tsk. I’ve just said one thing and you are already in a hurry to defend him.

It’s no wonder everyone says that daughters will side with outsiders,” Ling

Lihua teased again.

Lu Liangwei looked at her with slight frustration. “Mother, why do you keep

teasing me? I don’t want to talk to you any longer.”

At this, Ling Lihua immediately said, “Fine, fine. I was just joking.”

Lu Liangwei finally turned to look at Ling Lihua and saw that the coldness in

her mother’s eyes seemed to have disappeared. “You look like you’re in a good

mood, Mother. Is it because of something Zeng Lunan said to you?

Ling Lihua raised the teapot over the stone table and poured herself a cup of

tea before nodding gently. “Yes”

A delighted look appeared on Lu Liangwei’s face when she heard this. “So, does

this mean that Father never betrayed you all those years ago?”

A smile slowly appeared on Ling Lihua’s lips. “That’s right. Your Father didn’t

betray me.”

That’s wonderful.” Lu Liangwei felt overjoyed from the bottom of her heart.

She had always thought that her parents had lived a difficult life. They had

been forced apart for decades because of Madam Zheng.

Now that the misunderstanding had been cleared up, it was something that

was worth celebrating.

The spark in Ling Lihua’s eyes suddenly dimmed when she saw the happy look

on her daughter’s face.

It reminded her of the night before Lu Hetian had left for battle. He had come

looking for her at the medicinal shop, and the memory of the tears he had shed

on her neck suddenly pained her.

Had she gone overboard for treating him that way before?

This was especially so when considering the words he had said to her that

night. They did not have much time left to waste.

That was right. Their children were all grown up now and they were close to

forty.. How much more time was there for them to waste?
