Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart

Chapter 48: Lift Your Head

Lu Liangwei would be nothing without that face of hers!

A look of insanity flashed through Qin Wanru’s eyes.

She lifted her hands, and just as she watched her sharp nails were about to scratch Lu Liangwei’s face, a yellow figure suddenly appeared in front of her.

Before Qin Wanru could react, her stomach suffered a strong kick.

The next moment, she was thrown out flying from that kick.

A loud bam was heard and everyone was stunned into silence.

The Emperor’s cold and sullen voice was heard, “How dare you act so insolent in front of me?”

Everyone was shocked and quickly knelt.

Lu Tingchen held on tight to his sword hilt as he followed suit.

He had wanted to take action when Qin Wanru was about to hurt Lu Liangwei, but the Emperor had reacted before he did and stood protectively in front of Weiwei.

Lu Tingchen finally felt that Qin Wanru had gotten her due when he saw the Emperor had personally taught her a lesson.

However, when his gaze swept at the nearby Qin Wanru, a cold look appeared in his good-looking eyes.

This was a venomous woman. He would not let her off easily for having the gall to harm Weiwei!

Long Chi and Lu Yunshuang knelt as well. They were extremely shocked watching the Emperor protected Lu Liangwei behind him.

They did not understand why would the Emperor protect this woman?

Lu Yunshuang peeked at the reckless Qin Wanru, who had now fallen flat onto the ground. There was only coolness within Lu Yunshuang’s eyes.

Stupid thing. How dare she harm someone in front of the Emperor? How many lives does she think she has?

Qin Wanru’s parents were feeling ashamed for their daughter’s lack of grace. When they saw their daughter suffered a kick from the Emperor and fell to the ground, they did not dare approach her to help her up.

The husband and wife trembled in fear as they knelt in front of the Emperor. They begged for forgiveness with deathly-pale faces, “Your Majesty, please do not be angry and forgive our little girl just this once on account of her being young and ignorant.”

Long Yang did not look at them but turned to look at the young girl standing behind him.

Lu Liangwei hesitated as she looked at Qin Wanru, who was nearby and unable to move. All she could think of was how vicious the Emperor was.

However, she had not expected the Emperor to intercept by standing in front of her and personally teaching Qin Wanru a lesson.

Even if the Emperor had not made a move, she would be able to evade Qin Wanru’s attack, but since the Emperor had taken action, she had to accept this debt in gratitude.

A look of fear appeared immediately on her face as if she had only just managed to react to what had happened. Lu Liangwei was about to kneel and bow to him. “Thank you for saving me, Your Majesty!”

Long Yang instantly reached out to stop her by holding her arms. He moved close to her and said in a voice that could only be heard between the two of them, “So, we’re even now?”

Lu Liangwei lifted her face to look at him. She saw the Emperor watching her with an ambiguous look in his eyes.

She instantaneously understood that he meant that time in the study room when she had saved him.

So, the Emperor was doing this to repay her for saving him the last time!

She secretly heaved a sigh of relief and nodded slightly at him.

It was only then that Long Yang released her.

His eyes swept across her face and he noticed water stains on her face. Even her sideburns were wet, while her sleeves had obvious water stains as well.

Lu Liangwei noticed the Emperor sizing her up. She suddenly felt a little uneasy and quickly lowered her head slightly.

She had heard that facing the Emperor with an unkempt appearance meant great disrespect to him and would lead to punishment.

The wheels in her brains turned as she pondered on how to deal with the situation.

Then she heard the Emperor said softly to her, “Lift your head.”

Lu Liangwei struggled internally for a while before slowly lifting her head.

Under the lights, the young girl’s petite face looked to be no bigger than the size of a palm. She looked adorably cute with her rosy pink and delicately smooth face.

Her thick and curly eyelashes blinked continuously, displaying a sense of uncertainty.

Long Yang was momentarily stunned.

He remembered that day at the Grand Duke Mansion when this hairball of a girl had acted so glibly, quite contrary to her currently cautious demeanor. The thought evoked a slight smile on his lips, but he said nothing about it.

He sat on his throne and said to everyone, “Take your seats.”
