Luo Fan: "???"
At the Weird Bride's words, Luo Fan looked utterly bewildered, his gaze shifting back and forth between the Weird Bride and the woman before him.
This woman, who had cooked a meal for his Hope Convoy during the Lantern Festival, looked only thirty-something. It would hardly have been surprising if she were the Weird Bride's older sister, but she was actually the Weird Bride's mother?
Didn't that mean this woman was his mother-in-law?
His wife was a Weird, yet his mother-in-law showed no trace of being one.
This was their second meeting. If his wife hadn't called out to her, he would never have realized she was a Weird.
"Empress Dowager, what brings you here?"
Leaving aside how shocked Luo Fan was, the Weird Bride tensed all over at the sight of her mother, her face filled with terror as she asked.
At that, she paused briefly, then looked at her mother and Luo Fan before asking in some confusion, "Empress Dowager, do you know this servant of mine?"
Hearing the Weird Bride call him her servant, Luo Fan gave an inward, wry smile.
Who knew how long his mother-in-law had been hiding in the shadows? Wasn't it a little late to pretend they were mistress and servant now?
Whether it was too late or not, they had to conceal it as best they could.
At the Weird Bride's words, Luo Fan lowered his gaze and assumed the demeanor of a servant.
"Oh, you. An Innate Yin Jade is about to take shape here. How could I not come?"
The woman reached out and tapped the Weird Bride's head, affection on her face as she scolded her with a smile. Then she turned her gaze to Luo Fan and said, "We meet again."
"Indeed, we meet again.
