Chapter 53 Long Dream
Xiuqiu thought that when Mr. Lu heard that the young lady had woken up, he would rush over immediately, but she didn't expect that he would arrive in the afternoon of the next day.
There were a lot of guests downstairs. The man quietly came in through the back door and went up to the third floor of the clinic.
Xiuqiu went in to pass the message, but heard crying coming from the room, which made Lu Changqing feel annoyed.
Xu Miaoyan failed to tame the Qilin beast, so her plan to be named the Holy Maiden of the Nation was naturally ruined. However, the Queen Mother and Emperor Ming did not punish her for anything, but she was scolded at the Lu family last night.
When Chen learned that Xu Miaoyan had made a fool of herself at the Flower Festival palace banquet, she was so angry that she couldn't eat for the whole day. She also said that Lu Changqing was either blind and brought back a fake auspicious sign, or he was obsessed with sex and deceived her together with Xu.
When Chen thought of the five thousand taels of silver she had spent on Xu, she felt so distressed. Why not spend so much money on other things? Then she forced Lu Changqing to cancel the wine and food ordered from Sihai Restaurant, saving several thousand taels of silver.
Lu Changqing had no choice but to agree. He had already made up his mind that Xu was not fit to be the head wife of the Lu family. She could be just a concubine. If he took a concubine, all the etiquette would be kept simple and there was really no need for the Sihai Restaurant.
"I won't see him!" A woman's crying voice came from the room, "I won't stay in Shangjing City anymore, I want to go back to Jiangning!"
"Miss, what nonsense are you talking about? If you don't think about yourself, you should think about the child in your belly. I beg you to go and meet Master Lu!" Xiuqiu persuaded.
When the voice reached Lu Changqing's ears, he was so frightened that his whole body trembled and his brows frowned.
The baby in the belly? Could it be...
It was all his fault that he was too self-indulgent during those few days and caused such a big disaster!
He originally wanted to ease the relationship with Fang Qianxue, but now that this child is born, Fang Qianxue will definitely be angry with him again. No, this matter must be kept secret!
"Miao Yan," he knocked gently on the door, "If you want to go back to Jiangning, let me in and talk to you for a few words."
After a while, the little maid came out of the room, winked at Lu Changqing, and whispered, "The young lady is in a bad mood, Second Master, please comfort her."
Xu Miaoyan stayed in the clinic for one night. Although she was not sick, she seemed to have lost weight. When she saw Lu Changqing, her eyes were filled with tears. She only glanced at him once and then turned to look at the sunlight outside the window.
"Miao Yan, are you feeling better? You were unconscious last night, so I went back home to pay my respects to my mother..."
The woman turned around and gave him a cold look: "Are you greeting the old lady or the second lady?"
As soon as she woke up last night, she sent someone back to the Lu family to report the news, but he didn't arrive until this afternoon. He was delayed for such a long time, which had never happened before.
"Miao Yan, when did you become so mean?" Lu Changqing said, "I just came to see you later, and you said that to me. In your eyes, am I a heartless and ungrateful person?"
"I know," Xu Miaoyan choked with sobs, "I really can't understand Qilin language, and I can't be the Holy Maiden of the Nation. It's reasonable for you to look down on me."
"When did I look down on you?" Lu Changqing frowned and sat down beside her. "Don't be angry. Even if not for yourself, think about our children."
"You knew?" The woman looked up in panic.
"I heard everything you said to Xiuqiu at the door just now." Lu Changqing rubbed her hair lovingly, "Miao Yan, this matter must not be known to outsiders, otherwise it will damage your reputation."
More importantly, the Silkworm Care Ceremony will be held soon, and the female official who will take care of the silkworms must be a pure and innocent girl!
Therefore, the fact that Xu Miaoyan is pregnant must not be discovered. Fortunately, the pregnancy is still young, and as long as they are careful, it will definitely not be discovered.
"I know. I've asked Xiuqiu to keep her mouth shut." Xu Miaoyan nodded and pulled his sleeve. "Can the people in this clinic be trusted?"
"Don't worry. My father had some connections with Tzu Chi Medical Center when he was alive. They won't say anything." Lu Changqing paused, then slowly said, "There is something I want to tell you."
"What is it?"
"If I tell you, you can't be angry."
Xu Miaoyan frowned, her innocent face tearing up: "Why should I be angry? If you don't want me, I'll just go back to Jiangning."
Ever since she woke up, she had a bad feeling and was very nervous.
Looking back, she had a long dream while she was unconscious.
In the dream, Fang Qianxue died and the Lu family was holding a funeral. Because she was injured by the Qilin, she lost the baby in her belly. After the miscarriage, the doctor said that she was weak and would have difficulty getting pregnant again.
She was heartbroken, but fortunately, in order to compensate her, Lu Changqing used the leg bones of Lu Qingyuan and Lu Qingyao to make a medicinal soup. After taking the soup, her body recovered, and within three years she gave birth to a son and a daughter for Lu Changqing.
