"Grandmother." The siblings stepped forward to greet the Dowager Duchess.
"You may sit." Although the Dowager Duchess was puzzled, she did not let it show on her face.
The siblings greeted Lu Hetian as well, then sat down in their seats.
The old duke had married no one other than the Dowager Duchess his whole life and sired only one son, Lu Hetian.
Although Lu Hetian had married Madam Zheng after the passing of Madam Ling, his deceased wife, he did not have many children, only Lu Tingchen and two daughters, Lu Yunshuang and Lu Liangwei.
Therefore, the Lu family tree was essentially a very simple one.
That night, although the whole family gathered for a meal in the spacious dining hall, the atmosphere did not feel lively but instead rather deserted.
