Chapter 489 - Rather Apathetic Toward HerChapter 489: Rather Apathetic Toward Her
Ji Lingxiu had heard that Chu Yi and Chu Qi were highly skilled at martial arts while Lu Tingchen was Commander of the Palace Cavalry. If Lu Tingchen had dared to give way to the crook in front of Chu Yi and Chu Qi, they would be able to spot it immediately.
Lu Tingchen must have been forced to change his plans because of their presence and save her sister instead.
At the thought of this, Ji Lingxiu was filled with hatred. Lu Tingchen was too cunning!
She felt relieved at the same time for Chu Yi and Chu Qi’s presence at the scene. Otherwise, her sister might have met with serious misfortune.
The most terrible thing about this was that the Lu siblings were in cohorts. It was too much!
Unfortunately for them, they should not have done such a thing if they did not want others to find out!
They must have thought their plan to be flawless, but Ji Lingxiu had seen through their tricks. How could she allow them to get what they wanted?
She quickly came to a decision. Ji Lingxiu gripped Ji Linghui’s shoulders and promised earnestly, “Big Sis, don’t worry and take care of yourself. I’ll get justice for all that you’ve suffered.”

Ji Lingxiu frowned. “You’re my older sister. Who would take care of you if not me?”
The corners of Ji Linghui’s eyes were filled with wetness. “Xiu’er, listen to me. There are people whom we cannot afford to offend. Whatever happened is over and you should stop feeling upset about it.”
Ji Lingxiu frowned in disagreement. “You’re my older sister. How can I stand by while you’re being bullied by others and pretend nothing has happened? You shouldn’t bother yourself with this. All you need to do is take care of your bruises. I know what to do.”
With that, she pushed Ji Linghui away and strode out of Bright Refine Palace.
When she was gone, Ji Linghui stopped her pretense and openly revealed the expression she had been hiding before.
She leaned back against the bedpost with a cold expression.
If she had the choice, she would not have wanted to make use of her only sister.
However, she had no other choice.
Lu Liangwei was about to be married into the Palace and she had not been able to contact Situ Xu.
It was actually good timing for the assassin to attempt to abduct her by barging into the Palace at night. Ji Linghui was able to make use of this event and point Ji Lingxiu to Lu Liangwei’s direction.
Her little sister doted and loved her, which was why Ji Lingxiu would be sure to create trouble for Lu Liangwei.
An indicative smile appeared on her lips.
Xiao Xia immediately lowered her head when she saw this.
…
It was the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar—the Mid-Autumn Festival of the Great Shang Kingdom. It was also the wedding day between the Emperor and Empress.
Lu Liangwei had been especially busy for the last few days, attending etiquette lessons and trying on wedding dresses. She was so busy moving around that her feet barely touched the ground.
The entire Grand Duke Mansion was bustling when Zhu Yu suddenly returned from outside and said to Lu Liangwei, “Miss, Madam Lin has sent someone to deliver a message, requesting for your presence at the medicinal shop if you have the time.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLu Liangwei was slightly surprised. She had no idea why Madam Lin would want to see her at this time.
However, at the thought of that woman who was gentle and friendly to her, Lu Liangwei did not hesitate for long and decided to make a trip to the medicinal shop.
The only thing she did not expect was that she would bump into Ji Lingxiu when she was about to reach the medicinal shop.
When it came to Ji Lingxiu, Lu Liangwei was rather apathetic toward her.
That was why Lu Liangwei only nodded briefly at her when they met and turned to leave.
Ji Lingxiu’s eyes narrowed when she saw this. She shouted, “Lu Liangwei, wait a minute.”
Lu Liangwei stopped in her tracks and turned back to look at Ji Lingxiu. “Is anything the matter?”
Ji Lingxiu could not help but feel a little taken aback at Lu Liangwei’s cold and distant manner.
She stood afar as she sized up Lu Liangwei.
For some reason, looking at Lu Liangwei now gave her a feeling that Lu Liangwei was not someone who would do something so despicable.
However, at the thought of her sickly sister, Ji Lingxiu started to feel injustice for her.
