Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1269 - 1146: Sisters in Name

Although Leng Yu had already seen Xiao Zihan from afar during the previous ceremony, she couldn’t discern her features clearly from that distance. Now, observing her closely, Leng Yu’s eyes suddenly widened, and she thought to herself, what a beautiful person.

Indeed, at this moment, this is the scene Leng Yu is witnessing. This woman is extraordinarily beautiful, unbelievably so, surpassing herself in ways she can’t fully quantify, at least that’s how she feels.

Of course, Leng Yu herself is naturally beautiful, and not someone the average person can compare to.

However, Leng Yu feels she pales in comparison to the woman before her, whether in appearance or demeanor, or in other indescribable aspects, significantly lacking.

In short, when Leng Yu truly met Xiao Zihan in person, she realized her own defeat wasn’t undeserved, feeling she indeed faced a worthy opponent.

It even made Leng Yu feel that Lin Yi’s abandonment of her was not entirely unacceptable.

Moreover, Xiao Zihan at this moment represents the Empress, and how could she, as a General, not step forward when summoned?

Or rather, what reason does Leng Yu have to refuse the call?

Thus, Leng Yu immediately bowed respectfully, and then slowly walked forward.

Throughout the journey, only Leng Yu herself knew the inner struggles she faced.

Yet nothing showed on her face; she maintained a serene expression.

"Your servant pays respect to His Majesty, to the Empress."

Upon hearing this somewhat unfamiliar and distant address, Lin Yi involuntarily twitched slightly at the corner of his mouth.

He knew this girl must have a knot in her heart, but there was nothing he could do to help her resolve it, an unfortunate situation.

Meanwhile, upon hearing Leng Yu’s greeting, Xiao Zihan stood comfortably and smiled, gesturing her over.

"Hehe, Leng Yu sister, right? The Emperor has mentioned you to me often, but today is our first meeting. Truly, seeing is believing upon meeting you, displaying such an extraordinary spirit. Come, sit by your sister."

From these few words, one could tell Xiao Zihan already had the demeanor of an Empress, the grace of a nation’s mother, garnering internal approval from everyone present, implicitly giving her a thumbs-up.

Leng Yu, upon hearing, could only smile and walk over. Although she did not know Empress Dowager Ye or Lin Jianguo, she politely nodded, as a form of greeting.

However, when Leng Yu sat down, a sudden and unexpected form crawled over to her.

This momentarily stunned Leng Yu, who was somewhat caught off guard, looking towards it. It was Xiaoluo Ning, who stopped consuming the food before her, and fixated her gaze on Leng Yu, stretching her little hands towards her, clearly wanting a hug, surprising everyone at the table, especially Lin Yi.

After being momentarily stunned, Leng Yu’s face softened into an affectionate smile, reaching to hold the little girl.

But thinking better of it, she refrained and turned her gaze towards Empress Dowager Ye beside the girl, clearly indicating she wanted to ask for permission to hold her.

Unaware of the identities of those before her, upon receiving the inquiring look, Empress Dowager Ye generously handed the girl over, with Lin Yi’s voice appropriately sounding.

"Hehe, I forgot to introduce everyone. This is my mother, and this is my father. The one you’re holding is Xiao Zihan’s and my daughter."

With these words spoken, Leng Yu suddenly felt as though something exploded in her mind, startling her intensely.

Never did Leng Yu expect the identities of those before her, which frightened her into kneeling before Empress Dowager Ye and Lin Jianguo while holding the little girl.

She immediately pleaded:

"Your servant did not realize the presence of the Empress Dowager, the Emperor Emeritus. I have offended you; please forgive my transgression."

This took Empress Dowager Ye aback, who hastily helped Leng Yu up:

"Goodness, why simply kneel like that? Stand up, stand up. What is this about? Come, sit here."

Although earlier, she didn’t find Leng Yu particularly pleasing, realizing her attention towards her son was different.

She sensed something special in Leng Yu’s affection.

Thus, in front of her daughter-in-law, she naturally wouldn’t show much politeness towards Leng Yu.

When Leng Yu smiled politely earlier, Empress Dowager Ye merely glanced at her and avoided acknowledgment.
