"Then you still have to get Chen Mo’s consent!"
The Empress bit her lip; she didn’t expect that as soon as Chu Yanli returned, she set her sights on Chen Mo.
However, she couldn’t forcibly stop it either, as if their relationship was exposed, it might lead to even bigger troubles.
"Although a forced melon isn’t sweet, you have to pick it first and take a bite to find out what it truly tastes like." Chu Yanli said with a smile.
Empress: "..."
"But speaking of which, how has your skin improved so much after not seeing you for such a long time? It’s practically so tender you could squeeze water out of it." Chu Yanli studied the Empress for a moment, pinched her chin, and pondered, "Hmm, seems like your figure has become more voluptuous too?"
The Empress silently wrapped her bathrobe a little tighter.
This is all thanks to Chen Mo...
Besides that Youthful Elixir, he also diligently took care of her day in and day out and organized team-building activities all the time. Over time, some changes naturally occurred...
Thinking of this, she sighed silently, her heart full of worries.
Consort Yu and the Daoist Venerable have yet to be dealt with, and now there’s a tricky Princess...
Why do people always try to make moves on my little thief?
...
...
Dingnan Street, Lv Mansion.
Lu Shuangge stood in front of the mansion, gazing at the tightly closed dark doors, lingering for a long time before she slowly walked up the steps and raised her hand to knock on the door knocker.
Knock, knock, knock—
Moments later, a cold voice came from inside:
"Lv Mansion is closed to guests today, please return."
"It’s me."
Lu Shuangge said lightly.
Upon hearing this voice, there was a brief silence inside; then with a "clang," the latch was dropped, and the door swiftly opened.
"Mis—Miss?!"
The guard was momentarily stunned, then quickly reacted, shouting loudly: "It’s the Miss! The Miss has returned!"
Step, step, step—
Soon, dense footsteps echoed from the courtyard.
The steward in black attire led a group of servants out quickly.
Seeing Lu Shuangge, he couldn’t hide his excitement and approached with hurried steps.
"Miss, it’s truly you!"
"When did you come back from the Southern Border, why didn’t you inform us in advance?"
The servants behind swiftly bowed in greeting: "Greetings, Miss!"
"Just returned."
Lu Shuangge replied and inquired, "Where is my mother?"
"She’s at Jianshan Building reading a book." The steward said with a smile, "If she knows you’ve returned, she’ll definitely be delighted!"
"Let’s go."
The two walked through the corridor heading towards the inner residence.
Jianshan Building, a small pavilion within the Lv Mansion, separate from the main structures.
