Chapter 414: Impressions Were Distinct At Once
But now…
Lu Yunshuang had never received such cold treatment in her life. Feeling disconcerted, she scolded Lu Liangwei in her heart, secretly regretting that she had not ruined Lu Liangwei much earlier.
She thought that this idiot was nothing to be afraid of, yet she did not expect the latter to bring so much humiliation to her in such a short period!
She was infuriated deep down, however, she kept a dignified and generous smile on her face, and walked toward the Dowager Duchess.
“Today is grandmother’s birthday, granddaughter has also prepared a birthday gift for you.”
The Dowager Duchess smiled and said, “That’s thoughtful of you.”
Lu Yunshuang turned around and acquired an item wrapped in red cloth from Hong Xiu. She presented the item to the Dowager Duchess. “Granddaughter knows that grandmother likes Buddhist scriptures, so I’ve copied a version for you. I hope grandmother will like this…”
Before the word “gift” was spoken, the voice of a woman who was present rang, “Could the Crown Princess have also copied the scriptures for the Madam? What a coincidence, Second Miss prepared this as a gift too.”
Hearing this, Lu Yunshuang almost vomited blood.
‘What? Lu Liangwei had also copied Buddhist scriptures for grandmother? How is that possible, how would this halfwit be so considerate?’
At this time, the Dowager Duchess had already unwrapped the red cloth and saw that there was a handwritten Buddhist scripture enfolded in it.
Seeing the gift, the old lady’s expression was indifferent, showing no joy nor anger. She browsed through a few pages before putting it away. “Mm, the thoughts from the Crown Princess to an old woman like me are well received.”
Catching sight of the Dowager Duchess’ expression, Lu Yunshuang’s heart sank. She then smiled and said, “It turns out that little sister had also copied the Buddhist scriptures to give to grandmother. I knew that I should have discussed it with her in advance. If she had decided on that, I would have gifted something else. Fortunately, I have prepared another gift for grandmother, I hope that grandmother will like it.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Hong Xiu who was standing behind her immediately presented what was in her hand. After uncovering the red cloth on it, she said with a smile, “Madam, the Crown Princess has been looking for this jade crane for a long time. Cranes symbolize longevity. The Crown Princess hopes that Madam lives a life longer than the mystical crane, blessed with vitality and long-lasting life.”
“This girl, you and your sweet mouth.” The old lady glared at her before turning to look at the jade crane.
The crane was carved from the finest jade. It was only the size of a palm, but it showed the thoughtfulness of the gift-giver.
The old lady nodded. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, she did not want to embarrass Lu Yunshuang too much, so she smiled and said, “That’s thoughtful of you, Shuang’er. I’m fond of this birthday gift.”
After hearing those words, Aunt Lan took the jade crane from Hong Xiu’s hand.
Lu Yunshuang was very happy, and a little proud as well.
The chance was seized by Lu Liangwei when she had first gifted the Buddhist scriptures, so grandmother did not like it as much when Lu Yunshuang herself had gifted the same thing. However, she had searched for the jade crane for a long time; more importantly, the crane symbolized auspiciousness. She did not believe that Lu Liangwei could still give a better birthday gift than her.
It seemed that Lu Liangwei did not prepare anything else other than Buddhist scriptures.
Impressions were distinct at once, it would be doubtful that grandmother does not know who regarded her with more consideration.
“Big Sis is considerate. The ones I’ve gifted are incomparable to yours, but the most important thing is for grandmother to be happy.” Lu Liangwei beamed as she said, without taking heed of Lu Yunshuang’s provocative eyes at all.
The Dowager Duchess turned to look at her. She stroked the girl’s head, laughing as she chided, “You do things with the least expense all the time, playing tricks and bringing in knick-knacks to fool around with an old woman like me.”
Lu Liangwei stuck out her tongue and replied, “Well Grandma knows that I’m lazy, Big Sis is the most thoughtful. I think that the crane is not only difficult to find, but it must also have cost Big Sis a lot of money too.”
