Lu Yucheng breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. He held Qi Wanting's hand and said, "Wanwan, did you hear that? Ayan said you're alright."
Qi Wanting lay on the couch, her cheeks slightly flushed, and nodded gently: "I told you I was fine, but you insisted on staying with me."
"Isn't it because I'm worried about you?" Lu Yucheng held his wife's hand, his eyes full of tender affection.
Zhu Yu stared intently at Qi Wanting's belly. Her six-month-old belly was already bulging. How strange, was a little life growing inside?
The little one in my belly seemed to know someone was watching him, and kicked his mother's belly with a loud thud.
Zhu Yu's eyes widened, and he excitedly grabbed Lu Yucheng's hand and shook it, then pointed at Qi Wanting's stomach: "He, he, he kicked my sister-in-law! I saw it! My brother's little nephew just kicked my sister-in-law! My sister-in-law's stomach just swelled up with a big bulge."
Qi Wanting smiled and said, "This child must know that his aunt has come to see him, and he's happy."
Really? The child is happy to see him? That's amazing.
He touched his belly, wondering if a little baby would live inside him someday.
He loved his daughter, who looked like Lu Xiaoyun—no, now she looked like him. She had delicate features, almond-shaped eyes, red lips, a fair complexion, bright eyes, and white teeth. She was tall and slender. She called him "Mother" and Lu Xiaoyun "Father."
Zhu Yu's eyes were full of anticipation and excitement.
"Sister-in-law, please rest well these few days. You can eat some walnuts, which can not only relieve morning sickness but also benefit the baby's brain development. After eight months, remember to walk around more every day, with your maid accompanying you. Don't eat too much at one meal; eat small, frequent meals to help with childbirth."
Ayan's words brought Zhu Yu back to his senses.
The couple readily agreed.
"Don't worry, elder brother and sister-in-law, I will stay in Shengjing until your wife gives birth safely."
Lu Yucheng held his wife's hand tightly. Ah Yan was back, and he was truly relieved.
"Ayan, your older brother misunderstood you before, and he was very..."
“Brother already said it was a misunderstanding, why bring it up again?” Lu Yuyan said with a smile, trying to stop him.
After the acupuncture treatment, Qi Wanting felt much more comfortable. Perhaps the little one in her belly had been too restless last night, and after the excitement of seeing her second uncle and aunt subsided, it was now asleep in her belly and no longer bullied its mother with punches and kicks.
Qi Wanting felt a little hungry. When Lu Yucheng heard that she wanted to eat, he was overjoyed and hurriedly instructed the kitchen to quickly prepare some delicious food and send it over. He also reminded her to make it light and to prepare a little of everything.
Zhu Yu listened attentively, mentally reviewing Lu Yuyan's words. He needed to go back and get a notebook to write them all down so he could refer to them one by one when he was pregnant.
As Lu Yuyan put away the needles, she looked at Zhu Yu and asked, "What are you thinking about, standing here without saying a word?"
"I'm wondering when I'll be able to get pregnant? I haven't taken the contraceptive pills you gave me during my time in the southern border region. The prince has been quite diligent, so why can't I get pregnant as soon as my sister-in-law does? It's been more than half a year, and there's still no sign of pregnancy. Do you think it's my problem or hers?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yucheng, who had just finished instructing his servants to return to their rooms, was startled and stumbled, falling into the room with a thud.
Qi Wanting was startled and hurriedly got out of bed to help Lu Yucheng, but Lu Yuyan stopped her and helped him up instead.
Lu Yucheng's face turned completely black: "Xiaoyun, what did you say?"
Zhu Yu touched his head, shrank his neck, and ran away.
He said this on purpose for his brother to hear; with his hearing, how could he not know that his brother had returned?
Qi Wanting chuckled.
You know?
Qi Wanting then said, "You don't even know your own sister's feelings. I can tell that she likes His Highness Prince An very much, and His Highness Prince An likes her too."
"You discovered it?"
"I noticed it the first time I saw them together. You're supposed to be the older brother, yet you don't understand your own sister's feelings at all."
Lu Yucheng didn't speak. Of course he knew what his younger sister was thinking. But he could never forget the shocking wounds on her back when he brought her back to the manor. Almost every part of her back was unharmed.
Despite the passage of time, His Highness Prince An has shown remarkable kindness to his sister during this period, but as her older brother, he still cannot get over this hurdle in his heart.
Then Qi Wanting continued, "I just have a feeling that my sister's feelings for Prince An are just like your feelings for me, and Prince An's feelings for my sister are just like my feelings for you."
Lu Yucheng was completely confused: "What do you mean?"
"Exactly, it's like their genders are reversed. The younger sister looks at the prince like a man looks at a woman, with doting eyes. But the prince looks at the younger sister like a woman looks at a man, with infatuation, like worship."
Lu Yuyan's brow twitched. Women's intuition is the most accurate, so could Qi Wanting have discovered the secret between her sister and Zhu Yu?
"You've confused me. How did you find out? Or rather, why did you have this idea?"
"I can't quite put my finger on it, it's just a feeling. Especially when the Emperor is around, this feeling is particularly strong. Hasn't my husband noticed that my sister has a lot of prejudice against the Emperor? Especially when she sees the Emperor getting close to the Prince and talking intimately with him, my sister gets very unhappy and likes to argue with the Emperor."
"This is a man's strong possessiveness and protectiveness when his woman is being coveted by another man."
Wow, amazing! Sister-in-law, you're incredible! Lu Yuyan's hands were trembling slightly as she packed her things. The things between her older sister and Zhu Yu couldn't be known by people of this era.
But judging from what my sister-in-law and brother-in-law are saying, they're obviously about to be discovered.
Seeing Lu Yuyan standing silently to the side, Lu Yucheng asked, "Yuyan, do you feel this way too?"
"Huh? No, sister-in-law's idea is too far-fetched. How could the genders of men and women be reversed? Perhaps the prince and sister's feelings are too deep to accommodate a third person, whether man or woman, so that's why it's like this."
"Sister-in-law, you're pregnant now, you can't let your mind wander like that."
Qi Wanting smiled slightly: "I was just saying it casually. You're right, how could there be such a thing as gender reversal in this world? I was overthinking it."
She looked at Lu Yucheng again and squeezed his hand: "Don't worry, I won't overthink things anymore."
Lu Yuyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "I'll go make some pills for my sister-in-law. She can take one every morning and evening, and her morning sickness won't be so severe."
"good."
Lu Yuyan practically fled. If he stayed any longer, he was afraid he might accidentally reveal that they had swapped bodies.
No, he had to tell his sister and Zhu Yu about this immediately, so they could be more careful in the future.
