<h4>Chapter 397: Clung To Him Too Tightly</h4>


    After calling out, he stood politely on the spot and did not rush toward Lu Liangwei like he usually did.


    Seeing this, Lu Liangwei guessed that he was being cautious about his actions.


    She walked right over and stroked his head, asking softly, “Why have youe here, Youyou? Did something happen?”


    Youyou’s spirits lifted at her words, and he said hurriedly, “Yes. Someone injured Sister Er Mu, and she asked me toe here and find you.”


    When Lu Liangwei heard this, she understood the situation.


    That exined how Youyou knew where to find her; it was Lin Qingyuan who asked him toe.


    However, Lin Qingyuan was injured?


    “What happened?” Lu Liangwei knelt beside Youyou and asked, a frown on her face.


    “Sister Er Mu didn’te back after going out to beg yesterday. This morning, Grandfather and I went to the ces where she usually goes, but we still couldn’t find her, so we went outside the city. After a long time, we finally found her in the woods on the outskirts. She was barely conscious. When she saw us, she told us toe here and find you. Grandfather has already brought her back, so I came here to see you. Sister Er Mu is seriously injured, and I’m not sure if she will live.”


    When Youyou finished his story in one go, his face was already sweating from anxiety.


    Lu Liangwei wiped his face with a handkerchief and told Zhu Yu to bring him some water.


    By the time he finished drinking the water, Lu Liangwei had alreadye out of the small medicinal room and said to Zhu Yu, “You stay at home. I’ll take Jiu with me.”


    Zhu Yu nodded. “Be careful, Miss.” Remembering the assassination attemptst time, she said to Chu Jiu, “Chu Jiu, you must protect Miss well.”


    Chu Jiu did not reply but only nodded.


    Lu Liangwei did not dy any longer. She instructed Zhu Yu to bring Youyou out before leaving with Chu Jiu.


    However, they had barely stepped through the mansion gates when they ran into Long Chi and Lu Yunshuang, who were preparing to return to the Eastern Pce.


    “You’re heading out, Weiwei?” Lu Yunshuang took her hand affectionately while casting a silent nce at Chu Jiu.


    Lu Liangwei withdrew her hand. “Yes. Are you going back already, Big Sis? Why don’t you spend more time with Grandmother?”


    “Grandmother’s tired. How could I disturb her rest?” Despite her words, she felt bitter inside.


    That was just Grandmother’s excuse to send her away. Grandmother had no intention of keeping herpany a second longer.


    Lu Liangwei nodded. “Grandmother’s getting old, and she gets tired easily indeed. Then you cane and visit Grandmother another time, Big Sis.” With that, she marched off with Chu Jiu without sparing so much as a nce at Long Chi.


    As Long Chi watched her retreating figure, a gleam of menace shed through his eyes.


    Lu Yunshuang was also resentful. Lu Liangwei had hoarded all of Grandmother’s attention; if not for that, Grandmother would not have treated her so coldly.


    After boarding the carriage, Lu Yunshuang noticed Long Chi’s gloomy expression and could not help asking with concern, “What’s the matter, Your Highness? Are you unwell?”


    Long Chi seemed to have not heard her, and only when she asked a second time did he reply, “I’m fine, maybe just a bit tired.” He then leaned back against the carriage wall and closed his eyes.


    Lu Yunshuang frowned, feeling a little suspicious. He was still in good spirits when they arrived, but why was he so downcast now?


    When she remembered what happenedst night, her face heated up.


    Did she tire him out because she clung to him too tightly?


    With that in mind, she raised her hands and gently massaged his temples.


    However, she had barely touched his face when he caught her hands and pushed them down. “It’s alright, Shuang’er. Just let me rest quietly for a while.” With that, he released her hands and moved to the side.
