Yaoyao held hands with the others and said to Lu Liangwei, "We're off to have fun, Mother."
"Alright, go on. Remember to be careful." Lu Liangwei saw them out the gates.
She frowned as she watched the children leave. She turned to Zhu Yu and said, "Is Yin'er in a bad mood today?"
Zhu Yu shook her head. "I don't think so. Hasn't the Crown Prince always been this way?"
Lu Liangwei was puzzled. "But something didn't seem right with the way he spoke to Xue'er just now. Xue'er was startled by his tone and instantly changed her mind."
Zhu Yu smiled and said, "Could you be overthinking this?"
Lu Liangwei thought back on her son's strange behavior and the fearful look that Lu Xue was unable to hide. She massaged her temple. "I hope so."

Ji Lingxiu had been spending her days in fear recently.
She had thought Lu Liangwei would summon her, but there had not been any news.
