Transmigrated As My Former Uncle’s Sweetheart

time before finally leaving with Lu Liangwei and their children.

Grand Phoenix Palace.

None of them spoke after returning to the palace, and a gloomy silence hung over their heads.

Ji’er sneaked an uneasy peek at her parents’ faces.

Lu Liangwei massaged her forehead, still unable to digest what Ji’er had said in the South Conquering General Mansion.

Throughout those five years when Lil Qi had been away, Ji’er had not shown any unusual behavior.
For that reason, she thought that Ji’er had gradually gotten used to Lil Qi’s absence and had gotten less attached to him with time.

Never had she expected that Ji’er would end up forming an idea like that in her mind.

The scene of Ji’er feeding Lil Qi his medicine in the General Mansion came to her mind again, and all of a sudden, her heart felt heavy.

It seemed that her children had grown up and developed their own worries and secrets without her noticing it.

Just then, Long Yang spoke with a frown, “Ji’er, regarding what you said in the General Mansion just now—we’ll pretend we didn’t hear it and you never said it, so don’t ever bring it up again.”

He believed that Ji’er must have said those words on impulse.

Ji’er furrowed her brow and replied, “But I’m serious—I wasn’t acting on impulse.”

The veins on Long Yang’s forehead bulged as he struggled to stifle his anger.
“Do you know what you are saying?”

“Of course I do.” Ji’er could not stop herself from getting defensive.
“I’m grown up, and I know what I’m doing.”

“Long Ji’er!” Long Yang boomed, looking as if he was about to explode any second.

Lu Liangwei hastily pressed a hand over his and shot him a disapproving look.
“Can’t you listen to her without getting angry?” She then turned to Long Yin and Yaoyao.
“Go take your father for a walk in the imperial garden.”

“Yes, Mother.” Long Yin got to his feet, knowing that his mother wanted to talk to Ji’er alone

Yaoyao immediately went up to Long Yang and took his arm affectionately.
“Father, the plum blossoms in the imperial garden have bloomed.
Let’s go and admire them together.”

Long Yang was in no mood to admire flowers.

However, he nodded as he did not want to reject his children’s good intentions.

He left Grand Phoenix Palace accompanied by Yaoyao and Long Yin.

Once they were gone, Ji’er slumped in her seat like a deflated balloon.
