1710 Treat Everyone Like His Sister

“What’s the point if only I know how wonderful she is?” Lu Liangwei said with a laugh.

“I understand. Big Brother is the one who has to make the decision, right?” Yaoyao sat next to her and hugged her mother’s arm lovingly.

Her mother had been in a somber mood lately because of Ji’er and she was listless in everything that she did. Today was a rare moment—her mood seemed to be slightly better and Yaoyao was happy about this.

Yaoyao was also sad about the unhappy things happening with Ji’er, but watching her parents being hurt over this made her feel worse.

Her father had even left his imperial duties in the lurch in order to find Ji’er and her mother had spent her days feeling depressed.

She wanted to do something for them, but she was not much help at all. All she could do was accompany her mother and chat with her to fill up her mother’s time.

“That’s right. Your big brother said that he only treats Xinxin as his younger sister,” Lu Liangwei said regretfully. “He has no lack of sisters, so why would he treat everyone as his sister?”

Yaoyao thought about this and said, “Mother, you shouldn’t get worked up over Royal Brother.”

“Why?” Lu Liangwei could tell there was more behind her words and asked curiously.

“I think Royal Brother already has someone he likes,” Yaoyao said uncertainly. She had noticed a strange look on her royal brother’s face that night in the Palace of the Yan Kingdom. He was clearly thinking about someone.

“Who is it?” Lu Liangwei looked at her in surprise.

Yaoyao shrugged with her hands out. “I have no idea who that person is. Royal Brother kept it really secret. I tried asking him but he refused to tell me.”

Lu Liangwei decided to let this matter go when she heard this. However, she was still quite surprised. “No wonder he insisted that Xinxin was nothing more than a sister to him. I wonder which family’s young lady was attractive enough to capture your royal brother’s heart.” This piqued her interest slightly. Her son was mature, smart, and worked hard. He was not someone who was easily distracted by matters of the heart. She had always thought that it would probably take another seven or eight years for her son to finally fall for a woman.

Yaoyao was interested as well. “Too bad Royal Brother is keeping this to himself and won’t let us know who that person is.”

Lu Liangwei’s gaze fell onto Yaoyao’s face and she suddenly asked, “Yaoyao, who gave you the pigeons hanging in the corridor?”

Yaoyao was still busy guessing the identity of the lady her royal brother fancied. She was wondering if it was someone she knew when her mother suddenly asked her a question that made her jump.

She lifted her head and met her mother’s all-knowing eyes.

Yaoyao gulped. She was feeling uneasy and nervous.

“What’s wrong? Can’t you tell me about it?” Lu Liangwei gave her a gentle look.

Yaoyao fiddled with her fingers. “It’s not that I can’t tell you about it. I wanted to share this with you earlier, but so many things have happened recently and I didn’t dare to tell you about it…” Her voice got gradually smaller.

“You can talk to me about it now.” Lu Liangwei encouraged her. “No one else is around and you don’t have to feel embarrassed.” She paused before promising, “I won’t tell another soul.”

The corner of Yaoyao’s lips twitched. “I’m not worried about you telling others. I’m just worried you’ll be mad at me.” At this point, she jumped to the ground, moved to the table, and poured a cup of tea for her mother. “Have some tea to cool yourself down first, Mother.”

Lu Liangwei took the cup from her and got even more curious. She said with a laugh, “What’s going on? Have you done something terrible?”

“Of course, not.” Yaoyao quickly denied it.

“So, what exactly is going on?” Lu Liangwei asked as she sipped the tea.

Yaoyao was silent but decided to let it all out.

Her parents would find out about it sooner or later.

As her father was not here, it was an opportunity to get through to her mother first. When the time came, her mother would be able to help her talk to her father about it.
