Transmigrated As My Former Uncle’s Sweetheart

hook her head with a chuckle after she heard Zhu Yu’s words.
“There’s no need for that.”

“But…” Even though Zhu Yu was speaking to her mistress, her eyes were focused on Li Tong’er as if she was prepared to kill the woman with nothing but her deathly stare.

“It’s fine.” Lu Liangwei patted Zhu Yu’s hand.
“You should head inside first and make His Majesty some tea.”

Zhu Yu was a little grudging, but under her mistress’s ‘gentle’ stare, she had no choice but to go inside obediently.

Li Tong’er came forward to bow at Long Yang and Lu Liangwei.

Lu Liangwei said to Long Yang, “You should head inside first, Your Majesty.
Miss Li might have something to say to me.”

Long Yang was worried about leaving her alone with a stranger.
He was about to say something when Lu Liangwei quickly added, “Lil Qi will protect me.”

This convinced Long Yang to finally agree.

The smile on Lu Liangwei’s face faded slightly as she watched the man head indoors.
She turned to Li Tong’er and said, “Miss Li, it’s a death sentence for barging into the imperial family home.
May I know what would you like to say to me?”

Li Tong’er was shocked at those words, but she quickly calmed down and said confidently, “Your Highness isn’t someone who casually kills the innocent.
If Your Highness wanted me dead, you would not allow me to be here alive and standing right now.”

“I don’t think you’re considered an innocent person,” Lu Liangwei said coolly.

Li Tong’er nodded.
“Yes, that’s true.
I was a fool before and did not look at myself clearly.
However, this shall no longer be a problem and I implore Your Highness to give me another chance.”

Lu Liangwei did not reply but instead asked a question that did not seem to be related.
“The housekeeper of the imperial family home was the one who let you in, am I right?”

Her tone made it sound like she was very sure about this.

This put Li Tong’er in a complete panic as she suddenly dropped to the floor on her knees.
“Everything happened because of me.
I shall take the responsibility on my own.
I hope Your Highness will conduct a thorough investigation on this and not involve innocent parties.”

“Even if you did not approach me, I would still have come looking for you,” Lu Liangwei suddenly said.
“It’s unusual for the imperial family home to suddenly have a stranger coming in.
It does not matter if it was indeed the housekeeper who let you in.
This is a responsibility he cannot shirk.”
