Chapter 33: Still Considered Presentable
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After listening to Aunt Zheng, the Dowager Duchess glanced at Lu Liangwei.
Seeing this, Lu Liangwei said calmly, “There’s no need for Aunt Zheng to worry. Zhu Yu, bring out the scriptures that I’ve copied.”
Zhu Yu responded in obedience and went out.
Aunt Zheng thought otherwise, believing that Lu Liangwei had gotten Zhu Yu to go copy for her, and said in an avuncular tone, “It’s okay if you have not copied yet. The day is still not over, you don’t have to rush. Don’t order the servant to copy for you for the sake of dealing with Madam. One needs to be sincere when copying scriptures.”
Lu Liangwei did not get angry. She looked at Aunt Zheng with a smile instead. “Aunt Zheng sounds so experienced. You probably used your servants a lot and then lied that you did all the work yourself. Even if Aunt Zheng likes doing things this way, please don’t measure others by your standards.”

Aunt Zheng’s breath choked in her throat.
Perhaps it was her guilty conscience, she could not help but feel that Lu Liangwei knew her secret when she looked at Lu Liangwei’s sweet, smiling face.
She grasped her handkerchief uneasily.
Lu Liangwei saw that she was not talking anymore and grunted softly in disdain.
Very soon Zhu Yu returned, holding a stack of papers in her hands.
“Madam, these are the scriptures that Miss had copied. This morning, she got up before the break of dawn to do so. Please take a look, Madam.”
The Dowager Duchess was initially a little drowsy listening to Aunt Zheng’s grating voice. At this moment, when she heard what Zhu Yu said, her spirits immediately plucked up, and she said with interest, “Oh, quickly bring them over for me to see.”
Aunt Lan immediately took the stack of papers from Zhu Yu.
The papers were not thick and there seemed to be about a dozen pieces of it, but the quality was in the beautiful and neat handwriting. It could be seen that the person who wrote them had spent a lot of time and care.
The Dowager Duchess looked them over one by one, the expression on her face becoming increasingly satisfied.
After reading everything, she raised her head and looked at Lu Liangwei kindly. “Girl, did you copy all of these by yourself?”
Lu Liangwei knew that although the Dowager Duchess’s impression of her had changed, the original Lu Liangwei was reckless and willful. Every time she was punished by the Dowager Duchess, Lu Hetian would stand up for her, and the matter would eventually fly under the radar.
She would never do anything as boring as copying scriptures.
The original Lu Liangwei was capricious and lazy. It was impossible for her to sit down and copy scriptures obediently.
The words that she had written the most was probably Long Chi’s name.
When Lu Liangwei had just woken up, Long Chi’s name could be seen almost everywhere in Dusklight Court.
On the desk, the walls, and even some calligraphy paintings — Long Chi’s name was written everywhere.
Lu Liangwei was totally crazy about Long Chi.
However, because of this, Lu Liangwei’s handwriting was still considered presentable.
Nevertheless, this had left a deep-rooted bad impression in the Dowager Duchess’s heart, and it was not so easy to remove this bad impression.
Therefore, after Aunt Zheng had said those words, although the Dowager Duchess did not say anything on the surface, she was somewhat skeptical inside.
She did not blame the Dowager Duchess for being like this. She could only blame the original Lu Liangwei for being so unaccomplished.
Meeting the wise eyes of the old woman, she nodded and said in embarrassment, “I did write them myself, but I haven’t copied anything for a long time. I’ve become quite unfamiliar with it, so the first few pages are really ugly. Originally, I didn’t intend to give this copy to Grandmother for checking. I was thinking that when I had time in the afternoon, I would make another copy, but…”

She did not say it out but glanced at Aunt Zheng subconsciously.
