Transmigrated As My Former Uncle’s Sweetheart

Zhao Qian held her arm cordially and guided her inside, grinning ear to ear at the thought of Lu Tingchen and Jiu’s marriage.
“I’m just so happy for the Heir Presumptive and Jiu.”

The Dowager Duchess was unaware of Chu Jiu and Zhao Qian’s relationship, and she thought that he was merely being happy for Tingchen and Chu Jiu after hearing the news.

“I’m glad as well.” She nodded.
She had been ecstatic for the whole day after receiving Lihua’s letter, and she would have already barged into the palace last night if it had not been so late.

When did Tingchen even bewitch the young lady?

She had thought that she would have to wait for a few more years to see him get married.

As they chatted, they entered the main hall.

“Grandmother.” Lu Liangwei rose to her feet with Yaoyao in her arms.

After holding Yaoyao and Yin’er fondly, the Dowager Duchess looked around the hall.
When she found that Ji’er was nowhere in sight, she could not help asking, “Is Ji’er still under Chu Qi’s care?”

“Yes.” Lu Liangwei nodded.
“Ji’er’s used to Lil Qi taking care of her.”

The Dowager Duchess glanced at her disapprovingly.
“I know Lil Qi saved Ji’er many times and helped babysit her for quite a while, but he’s still a boy.
It’s awfully inconvenient for a boy to take care of a baby.”

“I know, but Ji’er really clings to Lil Qi.
Yesterday, she slept with me, but she woke up in the middle of the night crying for him.
The Emperor and I couldn’t comfort her at all,” Lu Liangwei said helplessly.

The Dowager Duchess was also aware of how attached Ji’er was to Chu Qi.
Sighing, she said reassuringly, “Then take it slow – but you still have to find a way to get Ji’er used to your care, even if it’s exhausting.”

Lu Liangwei thought so too and nodded.
“I will, Grandmother.”

Next, they started discussing Lu Tingchen and Chu Jiu’s marriage, and only then did the Dowager Duchess realize that Chu Jiu was Zhao Qian’s adopted daughter.

No wonder he was so delighted.

Lu Liangwei invited an Imperial Astronomer to select a date for the wedding.

After doing some calculations, the Imperial Astronomer informed them that there were no more auspicious dates for that month, but there was one early next month.

The Dowager Duchess immediately made the decision.

Lu Tingchen and Chu Jiu were set to get engaged on the third day of the following month.
