After Ye Zhen left, Lu Wushuang talked to the Empress Dowager earnestly, hoping to earn her affection. However, after a while, the Chief princess and Liu Hua requested an audience.

With the sudden intrusion, Lu Wushuang’s smile froze, and she turned to look at the Empress Dowager with a grim face. The Empress Dowager did not seem to notice her disdain, for she gladly invited the unexpected guests to come in.

The Chief princess had just been enraged by Ye Zhen, so when she came to Cining Palace and saw the Lu family, her dissatisfaction heightened. She made a hasty salute to the Empress Dowager, which is deemed disrespectful.

On the other hand, unlike her mother, Liu Hua bowed before the Empress Dowager. She knew that she would rely on her when she entered the palace as a concubine. Hence, as early as now, she had to get her approval.

Still, no matter how they hide it, their faces showed their unhappiness. For this, the Empress Dowager felt suspicious.

“Chief princess, please sit down. There is no need for formality in this palace.”

Old Madam Lu stood up and gave the guests a sincere salute, but this act was returned with a sneer.

“I can’t stand the presence of the Lu family.” The Chief princess complained without holding back.

The Empress Dowager frowned and said, “Chief princess, what’s the matter with you? Old Madam Lu has not offended you.” She gave an apologizing look at the Old Madam.

“Empress Dowager, you must know this. When we were on our way here, we met Lu Yaoyao. She knocked me down to the ground and also disrespected my mother.” Liu Hua reported bitterly. Her heart ached with envy at the thought that the Emperor stayed in the imperial garden with Lu Yaoyao alone.

“Have you met Yao Yao?” The Empress Dowager asked a cheerful smile crept slowly to her face, “Yaoyao, that child is very clever and respectful. How could she possibly disrespect you?”

At this time, the Chief princess chuckled and gave Lu Wushuang a squinted gaze. “That miss of the Lu family is not as harmless as she pretends to be. Not only did the little prince reprimand me for being an aunt, but even the Emperor became involved in her scheme!”

At the mention of the Emperor, Lu Wushuang gloomily spoke. “Chief princess, the Emperor is in his imperial study. How come he met Yao Yao?” She looked at the princess with hopeful eyes and a doubtful heart.

“It seems that Wang Fei Lu doesn’t know much about her sister, either! Third Miss Lu is very skillful. She must have known that the Emperor is outside and deliberately allowed herself to fall into the nearby lotus pond so that the Emperor, bless him for his kind heart, could save her from falling.”

With such news, fear and anger filled Lu Wushuang’s heart instantly.

“I am deeply sorry to say this, but I think that you, the Wang Fei, deserve to know.” The chief princess remarked cleverly. While Lu Yaoyao was away, she must first provoke the feelings of Lu Wushuang so that she turns a blind eye to her daughter Liu Hua in the future.

The Empress Dowager, who listened gravely, couldn’t believe the Chief princess. She always had a good eye for people, and Lu Yaoyao didn’t strike her as the kind of girl who would seduce the Emperor to uphold her status.

But seeing the Chief princess and her daughter so upset, she began to have qualms.

I have only met the little girl.

Lu Wushuang was not as calm as the Empress Dowager. She had been provoked by the Chief princess before, and none of it was false. Therefore, she believed that Lu Yaoyao was really seducing the Emperor behind her back. She suddenly stood up. “Empress Dowager, I have something to do. Please allow this Wang Fei to leave.”

The Empress Dowager knew that Lu Wushuang believed the Chief princess and wrath filled her senses. Hence, she urged her to stay and talk things out.

Don’t be too impulsive and let yourself be tricked, she wanted to say but couldn’t in the presence of the Chief princess.

“How important is it that you must leave our little reunion here? It’s better to do it later, Wang Fei.”

Lu Wushuang couldn’t wait to find Lu Yaoyao right away. The thought of her meeting Mo Rongzhan and seducing him...She couldn’t sit still in the Cining Palace!

“Empress Dowager, Grandma, and Chief princess, things are rather urgent. I will come back as soon as I finish.” Lu Wushuang said despite Old Madam Lu’s objection. She already stood up and left in haste.

Old Madam Lu didn’t know where her granddaughter would go. She believed Lu Yaoyao wouldn’t do anything like that. However, the Wang Fei left in such a hurry that even if Lu Yaoyao didn’t do anything, others would think otherwise.

Lu Wushuang storming out the Cining place would surely make speculations. The Old Madam felt like she was to have a heart attack anytime soon.

The Empress Dowager gestured to Aunt Cheng, who immediately understood the order and hurriedly followed Lu Wushuang outside.

With pride in her heart, the Chief princess watched the scene, the corners of her mouth twitched into a benevolent smile.

Even if Ye Zhen slipped from her grasp a while ago, at least she was able to start a feud between the two cousins.
