Lu Yunshuang looked at the unscathed Lu Liangwei right then with hateful disappointment, but said on the surface, “I’m fine. It’s just that I was frightened when I saw that you were in danger. As long as lil sis is okay, everything is fine. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know how to explain this to grandmother and father.”
Lu Liangwei darted her a cold glance. This woman sure could act well. Why did Lu Yunshuang need to explain things to grandmother and father? Was Lu Yunshuang eager to let others know how much their grandmother and father doted on Lu Liangwei, more so than they did Lu Yunshuang, to the point of being blindsided?
“Big Sis, you must be kidding. Even if something did happen to me, there’s no need for Big Sis to explain anything to grandmother and fathers. This is the imperial garden, not the Eastern Palace. Big Sis, you must be so unnerved that you got confused and have forgotten where you are.”
Lu Yunshuang looked at the beaming smile on the face in front of her. She clenched tight on her handkerchief, wishing with all her might that her sharp fingernails could scratch and disfigure that moron’s face.
She almost lost control of keeping that smile on her face. “Lil sis, you sure do love to joke. No matter how confused I could be, I can still tell where this place is.”
Lu Liangwei nodded and decided not to argue with her. “It must be me being overanxious.”
She paused and continued. “I’m sorry that you were worried about me, but I’m still concerned about you looking so pale. What if there was really something wrong with your health?”
With that, she placed her hands expertly on Lu Yunshuang’s pulse. “Even though I’ve only learned medical skills for only a few days, but I’ve picked up pulse-checking quite well. Let me have a look at you, Big Sis.”
Lu Yunshuang frowned in disgust. She wanted to fling Lu Liangwei’s hand away, but His Majesty was looking at them. There were others present as well. She had no choice but to suppress her disgust and allow Lu Liangwei to examine her pulse.
Lu Yunshuang sneered in her heart. Li Liangwei was nothing but a blockhead. What a huge joke she was. There was no need to tell such a big lie even if she wanted to garner the good graces of His Majesty, did she?
Such a laughable thing for a moron like her to have medical skills.
Lu Liangwei better not take this pretense too far. It would blow up in her face and end up earning His Majesty’s disgust instead. What fun it would be when that happened.
Lu Yunshuang felt calmer when she thought about this.
“… Big Sis, why am I detecting that you are pregnant from your pulse?” Lu Liangwei’s hesitant voice suddenly rang out.
Lu Yunshuang was a little slow to react. “What did you say?”
Lu Liangwei had pulled her hand away and replied with a smile, “It could be that I’m not skilled enough. I could have diagnosed wrongly.”
Lu Yunshuang was finally able to react. She held onto Lu Liangwei’s hands in great delight. “Lil sis, what did you just say? Am… Am I pregnant?”
She suddenly felt that Lu Liangwei did not look as hateful as she had thought. Lu Yunshuang looked at her with eyes filled with hope, as if nothing untoward had ever happened between them.
Lu Liangwai looked at the overjoyed expression on her face. Lu Liangwei thought this to be quite sardonic, but maintained a serious demeanor. “I’ve already mentioned that I might not be skilled enough and could have given a wrong diagnostic. Big Sis, why don’t you summon an imperial physician to confirm the diagnosis?”
Lu Yunshuang shook her head. “It’s fine. Lil sis is quite the talent. Even though you’ve only learned a few days of medical skills, I trust your diagnosis. Am… Am I really pregnant?”
Her fingers touched her tummy as she said this. There was a dazed, yet happy look on her face.
Lu Liangwei did not have the heart to break the bad news when she saw this.
“Yes, I do believe I did not misdiagnose you. If I’m not wrong, Big Sis has been pregnant for a month, but Big Sis has been having a lot of things on your mind, which has resulted in your health becoming frail. I’m afraid you might not be able to keep the child.”
The utter delight on Lu Yunshuang’s face instantly froze. She gave Lu Liangwei a deadly stare.
Why was this b*tch so vicious? How dare Lu Liangwei curse her child?
