Following Lu Liangwei's complaisant words, the Dowager Duchess's intense anger suddenly subsided.
However, despite her complicated feelings, whenever she reminded herself that this granddaughter of hers had done something as cowardly as hanging herself for a man, she still felt angry.
Looking at her little granddaughter in front of her, she felt nothing but heartache and said in disappointment, "You, girl, why are you so devoid of self-love?"
Lu Liangwei could tell that the old woman was not as angry as before.
She blinked and immediately admitted her wrongs. "Grandmother, you are right to reprimand me. I must have been blinded by lard to do such an absurd thing. Please punish me severely so I may remember this lesson."
The Dowager Duchess was not a harsh person; on the contrary, she was the kind to yield to gentleness instead of force.
