Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart - Chapter 819
Chapter 819 Felt A Little Bitter
“Why?” asked Wanyan Luosang at once.
Wanyan Jin closed his eyes. “I heard that the Emperor went to great lengths to marry her. If not for love, what else could be the reason?”
He had found out all this through his subordinates’ investigations.
Although he had long been aware of Lu Liangwei’s situation, he felt a little bitter today for some reason. The feeling produced a slight itch in his throat, and he could not help holding onto the pillar next to him and coughing violently.
Startled, Wanyan Luosang rushed over and patted his back. “Is your illness acting up
again?”
Wanyan Jin’s coughing fit was much worse this time, preventing him from answering her.
Seeing her brother in such a state removed all other thoughts from Wanyan Luosang’s mind, leaving her with only distress.
In other people’s eyes, her brother was a callous and ruthless person who was willing to kill his brothers and nephews for the sake of power.
However, she knew that he had suffered a lot since he was a child. Due to his birth mother’s lowly status, he was thrown into the sheepfold right after he was born and practically grew up there. His life had been basically a living hell, which was why he sometimes needed to be menacing and vicious.
“Brother, there are many great physicians in Cathay. Since we’re here, let’s visit one,” she suggested. After the coughing had finally subsided, Wanyan Jin waved a hand. “No need.” He knew his own condition well.
Wanyan Luosang was anxious. “But…”
“That’s enough, Luosang. Let’s go,” Wanyan Jin cut her off.
Wanyan Luosang stopped talking reluctantly.
When Long Yang and Lu Liangwei arrived at Jade Dew Hall, they bumped into Lu Hetian and the Dowager Duchess at the entrance.
Before Lu Hetian and the Dowager Duchess could greet them, Lu Liangwei broke free from Long Yang’s grasp and hurried up to them.
“Grandmother, Dad.”
The Dowager Duchess and Lu Hetian almost jumped in fright. “Weiwei, walk slower!” the Dowager Duchess cried anxiously.
Lu Hetian, on the other hand, strode forward and reached out to support Lu Liangwei.
Lu Liangwei’s eyes reddened at the sight of her father. She had not seen him for a few months, and she missed him terribly. “Dad…” she called out softly, her lip trembling.
Lu Hetian felt the same.
He had not seen his daughter for the past few months. Now that she was standing in front of him, he wanted to hug her badly.
However, now was not the right time, and he could only endure his longing.
Seeing his precious daughter’s red-rimmed eyes, he felt pain grip his heart. Did that scumbag Emperor bully her?
She seemed so miserable.
“How are you feeling, Weiwei? Have you been eating well? Have you been sleeping well?”
Remembering that she was pregnant, Lu Hetian grew nervous and started peppering her with questions.
Pursing her lips, Lu Liangwei suddenly reached out to him. “Dad, I missed you so much.”
Lu Hetian’s eyes turned red, and he eventually could not help reaching out to take his precious daughter into his arms, but all he embraced was air.
Long Yang, who had been standing behind Lu Liangwei, had stepped forward at some point and pulled her to him. Lu Hetian’s arms froze in midair, and he looked at Long Yang with restrained anger.
Long Yang pretended not to notice it and smiled. “It’s cold out here. Let’s head inside, shall we?”
Lu Hetian longed to tear this prick to shreds, but his expression remained respectful. “Very well.”
However, the moment he entered Jade Dew Hall, he could no longer contain his rage.
Ling Lihua was sitting in a corner, and next to her was Ji Qingyuan, cozying up to her. He muttered something to her, drawing a smile from her usually cold face.
