“Stop acting so rash, Tingchen!” The Dowager Duchess stopped him immediately.
Everyone was angry and frustrated. All they hoped for was that Ji’er would not find out the truth, but they were all feeling quite unsettled about the situation.
“Didn’t Weiwei return to the capital two days ago? You should visit the Palace immediately and confirm this with her,” the Dowager Duchess instructed anxiously.
Ling Lihua’s heart sank when she heard this. “No wonder His Majesty and Weiwei were in such a rush to head to West Water Frontier. By the looks of it, something must have happened to Ji’er.” With that in mind, she could no longer sit still. “Now that things have come to this point, that girl should have told us about this. I’ll enter the Palace now.”
“I’ll come with you, Mother,” Chu Jiu quickly said.
Lu Hetian and Lu Tingchen could not sit still either and wanted to go with them, but if everyone rushed into the Palace together, it might raise unwanted suspicion.
The father and son had no choice but to hold back their anxiousness.
“Both of you should go immediately. Hurry back if you have any news,” Lu Hetian said to Ling Lihua. He was frustrated, but unfortunately, there was nothing he could do about it.
“Alright,” Ling Lihua replied hurriedly and left with Chu Jiu and Lu Xue.
The moment all three of them stepped out of the mansion, they saw Ji Lingxiu waiting outside.
Ji Lingxiu quickly came to them when they saw three of them walk out. “Grand Duchess, please bring me into the Palace with you. I’d like to see Her Highness.”
Ling Lihua did not like the Ji Family because of Ji Linghui. In addition to that, she was worried about Ji’er and said impatiently, “I’ll talk to Her Highness about this. Just wait to be summoned.”
Ji Lingxiu knew this was not the right time to push for it, so she said, “Thank you for putting in a word for me with Her Highness. As for what Ji Linghui did, the Ji Family had no knowledge about it.”
Ling Lihua sneered. Even though the rest of the Ji Family had no idea of what Ji Linghui did, the fact that Ji Qingyuan had hired a palace maid who was relieved from Palace duties to be kept by Ji Linghui’s side could be viewed as a traitorous plot.
It would not be easy for them to wriggle their way out of this unless Ji’er turned out to be safe and sound.
Ling Lihua was in a hurry to enter the Palace and did not have much time to speak with her.
The three of them went to the Palace very quickly.
Lu Liangwei was surprised to see all three of them in the Palace.
“Mother, Jiu, Xue’er, why have you come to the Palace?” Lu Liangwei was not in a good mood, but she tried to perk herself up as she asked the question.
Ling Lihua took a few steps forward and held her hand. She looked Lu Liangwei up and down, noticing how Lu Liangwei was trying her best to put up a brave front. Ling Lihua sighed and said warmly, “Why didn’t you come to talk to us when something so serious happened?” She paused before adding, “How is Ji’er doing now? Is she alright?”
Lu Liangwei knew that they had found out about Ji’er when she heard this. She decided not to hide it any longer. “Ji’er…ran away from home.”
The mention of Ji’er pained her so much that she choked back a sob.
If not for the younger ones present, she would have broken down from her pent-up emotions.
Ling Lihua was extremely anxious. “Does this mean that Ji’er has finally found out the truth?” It was difficult to imagine how depressed and hurt Ji’er must have felt when she found out how much her respected father hated her back then.
Lu Liangwei nodded. “Yes, she has. That child has finally decided to hate us. His Majesty has left behind his duties at the imperial court and is now searching for her.” At this point, she sighed again. She wondered if His Majesty has managed to find Ji’er. She hoped that the girl would turn out to be fine.
Ling Lihua held back the worry and frustration she felt when she saw how heartbroken her daughter was. She said consolingly, “You shouldn’t be too worried. Ji’er is blessed with good fortune. Nothing will happen to her. With His Majesty heading the search himself, they will find her very soon. I’ll give the orders to the House of Swallow Snow to get every man they’ve got to help with the search once I leave the Palace. The more help we have, the better our chances. We’ll find her very soon.”
