Chapter 343 Lou Yu's true face! Tensions are high
"Greetings to Princess Ancheng." Lou Yao and his wife hurried out of the house to greet her. Sure enough, the former Miss Zhou, now Mrs. Lou, was pregnant and walking unsteadily.
He Zhaojun held out her hand to support him. "Hurry up and get up! What are you doing? We haven't seen each other for a long time, and yet you're so estranged from me." She pointed at Long Feibai and said, "This is the doctor I've brought with me since we went to the southwest. He will definitely keep you safe."
The couple thanked him again and welcomed He Zhaojun into the Mingtang, where they saw Lou Yu and Shao Shang sitting together, still chatting. He Zhaojun looked around and saw an empty cup.
"Did you know I was coming and prepare this place specially for me?" He Zhaojun smiled and looked at Lou Yu.
Lou Zhaojun's face flushed, a hint of discomfort flashing across her face, but she nodded. This place was originally prepared for her sister-in-law Wang Yanji. They had been planning for a long time, intending to kill He Zhaojun today to avenge the downfall of the Lou family.
She admired Wang Yanji. She had said that if He Zhaojun was invited directly, she would definitely notice something was wrong and would not agree to come, so Cheng Shaoshang had to be brought along. Sure enough, He Zhaojun came uninvited, alone, accompanied by a frail doctor.
"I heard that General Huo and General He fought in Mobei and fought all the way to Langjuxu Mountain, where their horses drank water from the vast sea. This opened up the Hexi Corridor and the Western Regions Protectorate. The people in the northwest no longer had to suffer from war. But is it true?" Lou Yao couldn't help sighing when he mentioned this.
Shao Shang smiled and said, "Yes, my fellow Han people have carved out a new world with their flesh and blood. Zisheng is just one of them and I dare not take credit for it."
"How could that be? Your deeds are widely praised throughout the world. Don't be so modest." Lou Yu spoke indifferently, with some barely perceptible awkwardness and envy in his tone.
If the Lou family had not become a laughing stock because of He Zhaojun, she, Lou Yu, would also be the daughter of a wealthy family. Why would she go to such a poor place as Hua County? She even heard the news about He Zhaojun and Cheng Shaoshang only a few days ago, not to mention that she had the same or even a higher starting point.
All the resentment and dissatisfaction in her heart turned into hatred for the two of them. So when Wang Yanji found her, she agreed without a second thought. Just now, when He Zhaojun brought the doctor, she had wavered, but now, Lou Yu would not hesitate any longer.
"It hurts so much..." The teacup in Zhou Ying's hand fell to the ground, and water spilled all over her clothes. She covered her stomach and felt uneasy. It was obvious that she had already started labor.
Lou Yu quickly stood up and looked at Shao Shang and Zhao Jun. "Can you help me get my sister-in-law into the bedroom?" She pushed Lou Yao, who was standing there in a daze, and said, "Brother, go find a midwife quickly. This doctor is so young, she must have never delivered a baby before."
The two men nodded, and supported Zhou Ying on the left and right, and walked towards the bedroom, while Lou Yu followed closely behind them, quietly taking out a dagger from his sleeve.
Long Feibai saw Lou Yu's movements out of the corner of his eye, and hit her arm with the medicine box he was holding. The dagger fell to the ground with a "clang", and Lou Yu was unable to get up for a long time.
"Hurry up and leave!" Long Feibai escorted several people inside. When Zhou Ying saw this, she was very surprised. Her stomachache became more severe and she was already showing signs of having a difficult delivery.
Behind him, Lou Yu stood up shakily and rushed towards He Zhaojun again, but was stopped by Long Feibai again. The two wrestled with each other, but she was not as strong as Long Feibai and was pushed to the ground again.
"Don't waste your energy, Lou Yu, what are you doing?"
