Lu Ze smiled softly, "As you said, a father's status is determined by his daughter. How could he dare to look down on Lingling?"
Qi Yuning gently touched Lingling's head and said, "Actually, I'm not worried about our future. Even if there's chaos in the court and the imperial power changes, the people I care about are still alive. I'm afraid of Lingling..."
Lu Ze understood what Qi Yuning meant. Lingling had come here since the Xinwei year, and both the prince's palace and the princess's palace were still there. This only showed that the change of imperial power had not affected their Lu family and the Qi family. Lingling recognized almost all of her relatives.
Her uncle, aunt, and aunt were all safe. Lingling was also familiar with Lu Ze's cousins. This showed that even if there was a fight for the throne in the future, both families were stable.

Qi Yuning frowned and said, "I'll go to Prince Jin's Mansion later. It seems I can't delay until Qingming Festival. If sweet grass is really opium, it will be in trouble."
Lu Ze said, "I'll go to Prince Jin's Mansion with you."
