Ye Muxue's expression soured when she heard those words.
She had gone this far, yet Lu Wuyou still refused. She was the distinguished Third Princess, the legitimate daughter born to the Empress herself. In what way was she not good enough for Lu Wuyou?
"Sanlang, actually, your aunt, the Empress, has always wanted you and the Third Princess to..."
Before Grand Secretary Lu could finish, Lu Wuyou interrupted him. "Grandfather, I have always treated the Third Princess as my own younger sister, and I will continue to do so. As for anything else, that is impossible."
"Very well. Then spend some time together first, just as you used to. Wasn't this cousin of yours always your favorite?"
Lu Wuyou did not refuse. He had indeed doted on this cousin before, but she had grown arrogant on that affection, becoming overbearing and unreasonable. Only now did he see Ye Muxue clearly.
Lu Wuyou said, "I will follow your arrangements, Grandfather."
"That's more like it."
Grand Secretary Lu's face was wreathed in smiles. He was most pleased with this grandson of his.
Ye Tangtang lay in bed and scratched her ear. Was someone bad-mouthing me?!
But that couldn't be right. Everyone loves me, flowers bloom at the sight of me, and cars blow their tires when I pass. How could anyone bad-mouth me?
I must be overthinking it.
Ye Tangtang closed her eyes to go back to sleep, but she tossed and turned, unable to drift off. Early the next morning, she got up with two huge dark circles under her eyes...
So sleepy...
Ye Tangtang yawned when a series of knocks sounded at the door. The maids had arrived, and it was time for the Lu Family to rise. Once the hour of the Rabbit arrived, everyone had to get up.
