Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart - Chapter 654

Chapter 654: There Was No Way That Lu Liangwei Would Not Feel Bothered

Aunt Liu initially wanted to reject it, but she gave up after looking into her daughter’s determined eyes. “I’m fine. I’m already quite old, anyway. You, on the other hand, need to be extremely careful. The Eastern Palace is not like the outside world. Besides that, there are also those snakes and scorpions…”

Chen Qiyu’s tears fell when she heard her mother’s concerned reminder. She hugged Aunt Liu and did not really want to let go. She wanted to stay this way, and follow her mother to leave this wretched place.

However, she could not do so now no matter how much she wanted to.

She still had not obtained her revenge. At the very least, she needed to witness Lu Yunshuang’s retribution before being able to leave.

“Mother, I’m pregnant with the Crown Prince’s child,” Chen Qiyu whispered in Aunt Liu’s ears.

Aunt Liu was surprised, a look which later turned to delight. She held Chen Qiyu by the shoulders and asked agitatedly, “Is that true?”

“Yes.” Chen Qiyu smiled and nodded.

Aunt Liu was happy for Chen Qiyu, but she also could not help but worry. All her daughter did previously was attract the attention of the Crown Prince, and that ended with Lu Yunshuang hurting her. Now that Chen Qiyu was pregnant, it could only spell more danger.

Chen Qiyu noticed her worry and tried to console her. “It’s going to be fine. There’s no need to worry too much. It’s the Crown Prince’s first child, after all. The Empress Dowager is very concerned about it.”

At that, she paused. She thought back on the Crown Prince’s reaction the other day, and had an idea of where she stood on this.

If the Crown Prince did not fix his issue, her child may very well end up being his only child.

She did not expect her child to become someone great and important one day, but at the very least, her child would be the Crown Prince’s only child. This was enough to crush Lu Yunshuang.

Although, she would need to practice extra caution before that.

She was not aware of this previously, but after she had experienced those dark days in the brothel, she came to realize how vicious and cruel Lu Yunshuang was.

Lu Yunshuang was capable of doing anything to those who were in her way.

Chen Qiyu needed someone to protect her in such circumstances.

This person was not the Crown Prince, nor was it the Empress Dowager. The only person who could help her… was Lu Liangwei!

Even though Lu Liangwei and Lu Yunshuang were sisters, there was no way that Lu Liangwei would not feel bothered by Lu Yunshuang stealing her previous love away.

It was only by getting Lu Liangwei’s protection that Chen Qiyu would be able to ensure the safety of the child growing within her.

Aunt Liu could not bear to leave her daughter, but the officials in charge of escorting them on the road were rushing them. She had no choice but to release her daughter as she reminded, “Yu’er, remember to be extremely careful.”

Chen Qiyu nodded with tears in her eyes. “I know. Please take care of yourself too, Mother. I’ll make sure to visit you once I have the opportunity.”

Aunt Liu nodded. She sobbed until her voice went hoarse.

She had no idea when they would have the chance to meet again once they said their goodbyes.

Duke Chen looked at Lin Zhenshu as he left. He wanted to say something, but did not in the end. Instead, he waved and turned back toward his family. “Let’s go.”

Chen Xuping had been given the death sentence and would be executed soon. There was no point in Duke Chen asking after him. Nothing could be changed.

Lin Zhenshu and his family saw the Duke Chen Family off and only returned to their mansion in the city once they were far away.

Lin Qingyuan looked at Chen Qiyu, who was standing alone beside her. She turned toward her parents to say, “Father, Mother, you may return home first. I’d like to have a word with Chen Qiyu.”

“Alright. Be careful when you’re on your own and remember to come home early,” Madam Lin reminded.

“Okay.”

Once they were gone, Lin Qingyuan strode toward Chen Qiyu. She looked at Chen Qiyu’s red eyes and asked a little awkwardly, “Are you feeling alright?”
