Meng Qianqian and Lu's mother halted their steps.
Lu's mother exclaimed in surprise, "I didn't expect the Grand Commander to come."
Meng Qianqian thought for a moment and said, "At the Governor Mansion's grab-the-items banquet last time, Lord Liu also attended."
Although she hadn't attended the banquet herself, she had seen with her own eyes that Lu Xingzhou rode to the event in Lord Liu's carriage.
Lu's mother, unfamiliar with political affairs, couldn't grasp Lu Yuan's determination to gain military command. From a purely familial perspective, the Liu Family wasn't one of the noble lineages, nor had they any prior affiliation with the Governor Mansion. She presumed the Grand Commander was merely extending courtesy toward the Marquis Mansion of Yong'en.
She thought of something and glanced outside the door.
Meng Qianqian asked, "Mother, what's wrong?"
Lu's mother shook her head. "It's nothing. Let's go."
