Chapter 549 Qiao Qiao is Pregnant
Fuyuantang.
As soon as Lu Xiang entered the courtyard, the maids all greeted her and said, "Greetings, Third Miss."
When the old lady heard the sound in the house, she immediately stood up and strode out. When she saw her granddaughter coming towards her, her heart finally settled down and she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Grandma." Lu Xiang walked up to the old lady, bowed and called out with a smile.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." The old lady held her hand and spoke in a stammering voice.
"I made grandma worried."
The old lady pulled her towards the house, saying as she walked: "I'm fine, but you must have been frightened staying in the palace yesterday. The Ninth Princess..."
The old lady paused halfway through her speech.
They only heard that the Ninth Princess poisoned the Queen, but they didn't know what the details were.
After all, this is a matter of the palace, and I don’t know if it is appropriate for me to ask about it like this.
Lu Xiangwan smiled and asked everyone to go out. Then she sat beside the old lady and said to her, "Your Majesty is blessed with great fortune and discovered it in time..." She recounted what had happened in detail.
The more the old lady listened, the more frightened she became. She covered her chest and almost couldn't breathe.
Even though her granddaughter spoke so calmly, the old lady still felt the bloody storm and the anxiety.
Lu Xiang did not hide anything from the old lady, including going to the Ministry of Justice in the middle of the night to use some means to make the palace maid confess.
The old lady held Lu Xiang's hand, her eyes full of pity and heartache.
This time Lu Xiang was lucky. He accidentally overheard the conversation of the palace maids and became alert. What if he had not discovered it?
The Queen's life is in danger, the Thirteenth Princess is framed and cannot escape the blame, but can Lu Xiang stay out of it?
The Empress Dowager sees her as a thorn in her side, and who knows if she will force the blame on her in the end.
"This Ninth Princess is really too cruel. Concubine Xian looks like a gentle person, but I didn't expect that she would teach her children like this." The old lady couldn't help but grit her teeth and said in a derogatory manner.
He said one sentence and then stopped.
Even if she was deposed, demoted, and reviled by the world, she shouldn't have said too much.
Trouble comes from the mouth, don't bring trouble to yourself.
"You must not have slept well in the palace last night. Go back and have a good sleep. Come to your grandmother's place for dinner in the evening and let Mother Wen cook your favorite dishes."
"Okay." Lu Xiang smiled obediently.
Just as I was about to get up, I suddenly heard Lu Chao's voice outside.
"Grandma, grandma, grandma..."
He ran and shouted, and his voice came from far away.
As soon as he entered the house, before the old lady could say anything, he couldn't wait to say, "Grandma, Qiao Qiao is pregnant. I'm going to be a father."
Old lady: “…”
After she finished speaking, she saw Lu Xiang standing there, and she became excited again: "Third sister, you are finally back. Thanks to you, my eldest brother has a son now."
Lu Xiang: “…”
Brother, do you know that what you said can easily cause misunderstanding?
What do you mean it's thanks to her that I have a son.
"How can you talk like that, you fool?" The old lady laughed out of anger and patted Lu Chao's arm unhappily: "Stand still and speak properly, are you really pregnant?"
When the old lady heard that Qiao Jingru was pregnant, she laughed so hard that her mouth could hardly close, and asked again in disbelief.
Lu Chao chuckled, "Really, really. I heard about what happened in the palace this morning. Qiao Qiao immediately thought that there must be some hidden reason why my third sister stayed in the palace last night. I didn't know anything except that Princess Qiao Jiu poisoned the queen. I was so worried that my face turned pale. I was about to go to the Third Prince's Mansion to find Concubine Chen to find out, but she fainted before I even left. I was worried so I asked a doctor to come. After taking her pulse, I found out that she was pregnant."
"It just so happened that I heard that my third sister had returned home, so I let her lie down and rest, and then I came to tell my grandmother the good news."
"Okay, okay, okay." The old lady turned around excitedly twice and said three "okay" words in a row: "I'll go see her."
Having said that, he walked outside.
Lu Xiang hurriedly followed: "Grandma, go slower."
She was also filled with joy when she heard the news.
She is actually going to be an aunt.
There was a festive atmosphere in Qinghui Courtyard. The maids were busy running around, and everyone had a smile on their face.
Qiao Jingru's wet nurse went to the Qiao residence to announce the good news.
The eldest young lady has been married into the Lu family for almost two years, and now that she is finally pregnant, the master and the mistress can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The doctor hadn't left yet. He was in the room holding a few prescriptions and explaining something to Liangchen in detail. Because the incident happened suddenly, Lu Chao invited a doctor from the nearest clinic to the Lu family, who was not the doctor from the Qiao family.
"Grandma, Xiangxiang."
When Qiao Jingru saw the two of them, she was about to throw off the quilt and get out of bed.
"Lie down quickly, don't move, don't move." The old lady strode to the bedside and said nervously.
Qiao Jingru paused, then lay back down obediently.
The old lady felt relieved when she saw her rosy face, but she still asked the doctor carefully.
The doctor bowed to the old lady and replied respectfully, "Old lady, judging from the pulse, the young lady is less than two months pregnant. She was frightened and her fetus was disturbed. But it's okay. Just take some medicine to stabilize the fetus and rest for a few days. But you still need to be careful in the first three months."
"Okay, okay, I'll have to trouble you, Doctor."
"It's what a villain should do."
Lu Xiang sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Qiao Jingru and said, "Fortunately nothing happened this time, otherwise I would have really become a sinner."
Qiao Jingru smiled and took Lu Xiang's hand: "You are being too polite to say that. You are my sister. How can I not worry about you when such a big thing happened in the palace? I will be relieved if you come back safely."
"Put your heart back in your stomach, take good care of your pregnancy from today on, and don't worry about anything." Lu Xiang Waner smiled and said, "Congratulations, sister-in-law."
Qiao Jingru curled her lips and reached out to touch her belly. Her beautiful face exuded the tenderness of motherhood: "I'm finally pregnant. I've finally put my mind at ease. I hope I can have a boy."
At least she could leave a descendant for the Lu family. With a son, she wouldn't be so anxious about whether she would get pregnant in the future.
It was really because her father-in-law couldn't give birth to a son, and the Lu family only had two illegitimate sons. If she didn't work harder, the family would be small. She was under a lot of pressure, after all, she had been married for almost two years.
"Why are you in such a hurry? If this one isn't right, there will be one next one." Lu Xiang joked with a smile.
"I like whatever birth you give birth to." Lu Chao had moved a stool to sit beside the bed at some point, looking at Qiao Jingru eagerly.
Qiao Jingru felt his sticky gaze and couldn't help blushing: "Why don't you leave the house?"
When Lu Chao heard this, he immediately looked shocked: "You're chasing me away?"
Lu Xiang stroked his forehead silently, the corner of his mouth twitching.
Qiao Jingru glared at him unhappily: "Isn't Jingzhao Prefecture busy?"
"Busy." Lu Chao sighed heavily: "Then I'll leave first. I'll come back early to accompany you. If there's anything you want to eat, I'll buy it for you."
Qiao Jingru thought for a moment and said, "The drunk duck from Chun Man Lou."
"Okay, just lie down and don't move." Lu Chao stood up and reminded her worriedly, "Xiang Xiang, please keep an eye on it for me."
Lu Chao waved his hand casually: "I know, you don't need to explain."
