Ling Lihua was red in the face, but she could not help teasing him. “So there’s really nothing? I thought the Grand Duke was extremely popular. Even though you’re up there in years, you’ve still managed to attract the admiration of a young girl, your skills must still be sharp.”
Lu Hetian sighed. “You’re teasing me again. I’m already an old man. Besides, You’re the only one in my heart. There’s no room for anyone else.”
Ling Lihua was tickled with happiness by his words and she gave him a gentle push. “Lie down, old man.”
Lu Hetian had a feeling that he would not be able to sleep tonight.
He laid down a little dejectedly by her side. Ling Lihua was rather amused as she looked at him. She leaned in close to his ear and whispered something.
Then, she gently waved her hand and the gauze netting fell.
The next day was the first day of the Lunar New Year.
The Dowager Duchess had woken up very early for Lu Hetian and Ling Lihua to visit with their new year greetings.

Aunt Lan said, “Why not let me go over and have a look?”
Something crossed the Dowager Duchess’ mind and she quickly stopped Aunt Lan. “There is no need to.”
Aunt Lan gave pause when she saw the smile on the Dowager Duchess’ face and something crossed her mind as well. She said with a look of delight on her face, “It looks like the Grand Duke and Duchess have reconciled. You might even have another grandchild soon, Dowager Duchess.”
The Dowager Duchess’ face broke out in a big smile. At the same time, she felt greatly relieved.
Many years had gone by and she finally had the chance to see Shenzhi and Lihua together again. This was a great reward for her.
It was not long before Lu Hetian finally arrived at Longevity Hall in a hurry while holding Ling Lihua’s hand. Both of their hairs were in a mess as they rushed their way over.
Lu Hetian finally slowed down when he saw the Dowager Duchess looking all prim and proper in her seat while waiting for them. His hand was still holding Ling Lihua’s when he approached her with slight embarrassment. “I have made you wait, Mother.”
Ling Lihua was extremely embarrassed as well.
She quietly scolded Lu Hetian furiously in her heart.
She knew she should not have given in to this man.
She struggled a little as she tried to pull her hand away from his, but he held on to her even tighter.
She was a little unhappy when she noticed this.
Did he not see Mother watching them both?
She was completely embarrassed by him.
The Dowager Duchess’ gaze lingered at their joined hands. Her vision suddenly went a little blurry as she thought she was once again witnessing the sight of the pair greeting her on the second day of their marriage.
Just like that, twenty years had passed.
Tingchen was also twenty this year.

Lu Hetian was relieved. He held Ling Lihua’s hand and sat at the side.
When Ling Lihua saw that he was not about to let her go, she clawed the back of his hand.
Lu Hetian instinctively let her hand due to the pain, but shot her a veiled look.
Ling Lihua gave a start.
This old man, what sort of inappropriate thoughts were crossing his mind now?
The Dowager Duchess watched their interactions without skipping a beat. She picked up a cup of tea and took a sip. Her heart was filled with relief.
In the Palace.
Today was the first day of the Lunar New Year and Long Yang had returned to the Grand Phoenix Palace after accepting the greetings and well-wishes from his officials at the imperial court.
Lu Liangwei had already dressed up by the time he returned. She was sitting in front of the mirror while Zhu Yu combed her hair.
Long Yang went forward and took the comb from Zhu Yu’s hand. “You may take your leave,” he said.
