Chapter 132 I Don't Want to Give You Favor
"She said she had called a doctor." Qiao Jingru said, "When I went there, it seemed like she had just left. Madam Liu had been feeling nauseous and nauseous these past few days, and she was not feeling energetic at all, so Fang Huaqian went to call a doctor. After taking her pulse, he said she was pregnant, but because it's only been a month, it's not very obvious. But I think since Madam Liu has announced it, it's almost certain."
As she spoke, Qiao Jingru couldn't help but reveal a strange look: "This is strange. Aunt Liu has only given birth to Lu Mingzhu in all these years, and Zhao Qingya got pregnant just after becoming an aunt. Isn't she too lucky? Or did she find some secret recipe? Do you want me to ask her about the method of having a child?"
At the end of her words, an eager expression appeared on her face.
Lu Xiang looked at Qiao Jingru with a twitching mouth: "It's useless to ask even if you go."
"That's right, Aunt Liu won't tell me." But she also wants to have a child.
Lu Xiang put down the book in his hand, looked at Qiao Jingru and said, "It's not that she won't tell you, but she can't be pregnant."
"Why?" Qiao Jingru looked at Lu Xiang in surprise, wondering why she was so sure.
Lu Xiang coughed lightly and said, "Remember the doctor I called in last time when I fainted in the middle of the night? He accidentally felt my father's pulse and told me afterwards that he suspected something and asked me to take it seriously and have my father get a trusted doctor to check his body. But I didn't dare to tell my father about this, so I kept it in my heart. But if he wasn't sure, how could the doctor tell me so easily, right?"
But the fact is that when Zhao Qingya decided to become her father's concubine, she found an opportunity to give Lu Youping a sterilizing drug.
Zhao Qingya can stand with them now because she is weak, but if she gives birth to a son, who knows what she will do for her son. Lu Xiang will never show mercy to anything that can threaten her.
Besides, the Lu family already has quite a few children. The eldest brother and the seventh brother are all sons. It is enough to be able to inherit the family line. Why should there be a few more children to arouse vigilance? Aren’t the lessons learned from Lu Mingzhu and Lu Qiao enough?
Qiao Jingru didn't suspect anything and stared at Lu Xiang in shock. The pastry she had just taken a bite of fell onto the table with a plop.
She later found out that Lu Xiang's fainting was a staged act in order to catch Yu Xiang, the traitor.
I never thought there would be such a thing?
Not to mention Lu Xiang, even if she was told about her father's illness, she would definitely pretend not to know and would never dare to say anything.
"Then she..." Qiao Jingru's dark eyes widened as big as copper bells, and she was so shocked that she couldn't continue speaking.
"Either the pregnancy is fake, or she's cheating on her dad."
Lu Xiang concluded.
Qiao Jingru was dumbfounded: "..."
Sister, is there something wrong with your calm and relaxed look?
Whether it's a fake pregnancy or cheating on the dad, it's both very scary.
It took Qiao Jingru a long time to find her voice again: "Madam Liu is so bold...
"She's desperate. No matter what, she won't give birth to the baby, so she will definitely use the baby to plot something. We have to be careful."
Aunt Zhao is in favor now, it would be strange if Liu was not anxious.
However, she had finally been able to win her father's love by relying on her pregnancy, and the baby in Liu's belly would have to stay in her belly for a few months at least.
Qiao Jingru left in a daze. The shock she received today was quite great, and she had to go back to digest it.
On the day before the Chinese New Year's Eve, Lu Xiang asked Ah Man to deliver a letter to Chu Jinyan, asking him to meet at Zuiyun Tower.
Although Zuiyunlou is not on the bustling main street, it is backed by the river and has a quite tranquil environment. Since Lu Xiang is going to have a banquet with Chu Jin, he naturally cannot choose a high-profile place with many people.
She arrived early, and the waiter of the restaurant led her to the third floor. Lu Xiang specially asked Ah Man to choose a room facing the river. As soon as she opened the window, she could see the river view outside, which was very comfortable.
Just as Lu Xiang reached the third floor, a surprised voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"Miss Third, what a coincidence?"
The familiar voice made Lu Xiang frown in disgust.
Lu Xiang didn't want to pay attention to her and was about to walk towards the side room, but Xiao Muheng took a few big steps forward, walked past her and blocked her way.
"What do you mean, Mr. Xiao?" Lu Xiang raised his head, his face showing undisguised annoyance, which startled Xiao Muheng.
But he quickly calmed down and put on a smile that he thought was extremely charming: "Miss San, are you here to eat too?"
As soon as he lowered his head, he could see Lu Xiang's eyelashes as long as butterfly wings. Her delicate and beautiful face made him obsessed. Ever since he knew that Lu Mingzhu had no value, his desire to get Lu Xiang became stronger.
Lu Xiang rolled his eyes and showed no respect at all.
"Mr. Xiao, this is a strange question. If you don't come to the restaurant to eat, should I come to play?"
A faint light flashed in Xiao Muheng's eyes, and his face was still smiling elegantly: "If Third Miss doesn't mind, I will treat Third Miss to a meal, and I hope you will do me the honor."
Was Lu Xiang trying to attract his attention by acting so indifferent to him?
Xiao Muheng thought to himself, feeling good about himself.
Lu Xiang sneered: "If you don't want to honor me, please move aside, Mr. Xiao, and don't disturb me while I'm eating."
What about a big face?
And let her do me a favor.
Her disdain was clearly written on her face, couldn't this man see it?
Xiao Muheng is also a despicable person.
In her previous life, she was obedient to him and looked down on him. In this life, she doesn't want to have anything to do with him, but she has to come to him anyway. She is sick.
Lu Xiang's cold voice was like the river water in winter, with a chilly breath.
Xiao Muheng's face suddenly became a little embarrassed. He was very angry at Lu Xiang's lack of tact. It was as if a huge rock was pressing on him, making him uncomfortable.
He has good looks, talent, and wealth, so why does Lu Xiang despise him? Is it because he thinks he is more noble because he is appreciated by the Queen?
But she didn't think about it. As the daughter of a mere minister, could she really want to marry into the royal family?
He has the title of a juren and is only waiting to win the first prize in the autumn examination.
Therefore, who could be worthy of Lu Xiang and who was as outstanding as herself? And how could the legitimate sons of those noble families marry her as their principal wife?
"Miss Third, I am sincere in making friends with you and have no ill will towards you. Why do you have to be so sarcastic?" Xiao Muheng suppressed the anger in his heart and said softly.
Lu Xiang's brows were almost twisted into a knot: "Mr. Xiao, have you forgotten that you are engaged to my fourth sister? What is your intention in being sincere with me now? But no matter whether you are sincere or intentional, I don't want to have anything to do with you at all."
"So please move aside, or don't blame me for using too much force and embarrassing you in public."
She had an important matter with Chu Jinyan today and didn't want to cause any trouble because of Xiao Muheng.
But if Xiao Muheng continues to be so tactless, she will really be unable to help but beat him up.
